Author: James, William.
Title: THE NAVAL HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN, From the Declaration of War by France in 1793 to the Accession of George IV.
Description: Richard Bentley ..., 1859. New Ed., with Additions and Notes. 6 vols. Sm. 8vo. Port. frontiss., many ills., folding letterpress leaves. Some browning and foxing, original blue ribbed cloth, sm. stain to tail of upper board of vol. 3., gilt tooled spines chipped, minor marking. ¶ A monumental work of accuracy but so full of detail it is less a work of history, than a chronicle of unconnected events. Nevertheless it has stood the test of time, and remains the best account of the naval side of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
