The Naval Chronicle, published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818, is a key source for British maritime and military history. 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 23, published in 1810, contains numerous reports relating to the ongoing wars against Napoleon. It reproduces naval state papers describing the unsuccessful Walcheren Campaign of 1809, together with detailed accounts of the capture of the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. It also includes a biography of Sir James Trowbridge and maps and descriptions of Cadíz, the Azores, and the citadel of Antwerp.
