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 28, published in 1812, concentrates on the Anglo-American War of 1812. It discusses events surrounding the war, and reprints state papers detailing America's grievances with Britain and the British declaration of war itself. It also describes the proposed construction of a breakwater in Plymouth Sound and its estimated costs, and includes a chart and description of the Cape of Good Hope.
