基本説明
The Naval Chronicle, published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818, is a key source for British maritime and military history, and is also sought after by those researching family histories. The wide-ranging subject matter includes accounts of battles, notices of promotions, marriages and deaths, reports of courts martial, shipwrecks, privateers and prizes, notes on the latest technology, biographies and poetry, and letters. It was issued in regular instalments (sometimes reprinted with corrections) by Bunney and Gold, later Joyce Gold, in London, and bound up into two volumes per year. Printed economically, on paper of varying weights and often using very small type, the extant copies have been heavily used over the course of two centuries. They present significant conservation challenges and are difficult to find outside major libraries. This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most influential maritime publication of its day.
