This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most influential maritime publication of its day. The subjects covered range from accounts of battles and lists of ships to notices of promotions and marriages, courts martial and deaths, and biographies, poetry and letters. Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important harbours around the world. Volume 29, published in 1813, contains many documents relating to the American navy following the start of the Anglo-American War in 1812, and records the American government's view of early successes in the war and a British declaration describing the war's causes. The volume also includes a biography of Sir Francis Drake and a technical article describing a method of fumigating ships to kill vermin.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Biographical memoirs\u003cbr\u003e Nautical anecdotes\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence\u003cbr\u003e General maritime force of Europe\u003cbr\u003e Hydrography\u003cbr\u003e Naval bulletins\u003cbr\u003e State papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Naval poetry\u003cbr\u003e Marine law\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1813\u003cbr\u003e Philosophical papers\u003cbr\u003e Astronomy\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Military history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Military history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Military%20history%20%5BHBW%5D%22\"\u003eHBW\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265946210584,"sku":"9781108018685","price":43.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018685i_fbb2b077-9de0-4caa-afd1-9fc6a711c744.jpg?v=1694869512","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-29-january-july-1813-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018685","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
