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 39 (1818) includes an 'autobiographical' memoir, allegedly written on St Helena by Napoleon. The financial concerns of a post-war navy are obvious. William Wilberforce was involved with a committee set up for the relief of the thousands of destitute former sailors in London. Concerns were expressed about the building up of the American navy, and appeals made for the ending of impressment.\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 Parliamentary papers\u003cbr\u003e Naval history of the present year, 1817–1818\u003cbr\u003e Shipwrecks\u003cbr\u003e Manuscript from St. Helena\u003cbr\u003e Naval literature\u003cbr\u003e Poetry\u003cbr\u003e Hydrography\u003cbr\u003e Marine law\u003cbr\u003e Letters on service\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":46265946603800,"sku":"9781108018784","price":37.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108018784i_fd89c6ce-ab0a-4eec-8a18-064e15c21afd.jpg?v=1694869518","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-naval-chronicle-volume-39-january-july-1818-containing-a-general-and-biographical-history-of-the-royal-navy-of-the-united-kingdom-with-a-variety-of-original-papers-on-nautical-subjects-paperback-9781108018784","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
