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 37, published in 1817, contains much discussion of the peacetime reduction of the navy, naval pensions, and piracy. Several articles focus on historical rather than contemporary events, including an account of the Battle of the Nile (1798) and eyewitness accounts of naval skirmishes in 1793. A biography of Sir John Hawkins and maps and descriptions of Dunkirk and Boulogne are also included.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Naval biography\u003cbr\u003e Nautical anecdotes and selections\u003cbr\u003e Correspondence\u003cbr\u003e Hydrography\u003cbr\u003e Chronological sketch of the most remarkable naval events of the year 1816\u003cbr\u003e Official papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Poetry\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1816–1817\u003cbr\u003e Account of the action of the Nile\u003cbr\u003e Imperial parliament\u003cbr\u003e Official letters of James Duke of York\u003cbr\u003e Letters on service\u003cbr\u003e Marine law\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":46265946243352,"sku":"9781108018760","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018760i_b250996b-10d8-470d-a233-66b8e0409316.jpg?v=1694869504","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-37-january-july-1817-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018760","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
