The original five volumes were published in 1822-24; with a six-volume edition appearing in 1826. Previously; the work has only been available to scholars through specialist libraries. This new hardcover edition; with an introduction by the noted naval historian Andrew Lambert as well as an index for each volume; provides both scholars and maritime enthusiasts an accessible and affordable edition of this important work. Illustrated with charts; diagrams; and images; the work remains an essential source for all those who are interested in the operation of the Royal Navy in this period.
