Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiii + 366 pages, b&w illustrations and maps in text, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Limited signs of mild wear only. Unclipped, untorn dust jacket. -- This is a consolidated and edited modern edition of The Naval Chronicle, the most important contemporary source of information on the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Originally published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818, this 1998 edition - compiled by the renowned maritime historian Nicholas Tracy - distils the vast original archive into a more accessible format, focusing on the critical years of 1793 to 1798. The volume documents the early years of the conflict against Revolutionary France, covering major milestones from the Occupation of Toulon to the decisive Battle of the Nile. Key features include: - Official War Reports: Authentic "Gazette Letters" written by commanding officers immediately following naval actions, providing a raw, unfiltered view of 18th-century warfare; - Biographical Sketches: Detailed histories of the era's leading naval figures, including early accounts of Horatio Nelson and his contemporaries; - Professional Concerns: Original letters and papers from serving officers discussing the "cutting edge" technology of the day - ranging from ship design and gunnery to evolving naval strategy and tactics; - Intelligence and Foreign Narratives: Reports on the strength of European and American fleets, alongside accounts of battles translated from enemy sources to provide a balanced perspective. As an expert in the "Age of Sail," Tracy provides essential modern commentary and context. He has carefully selected the most historically significant passages from the original periodicals, ensuring that the technical and political nuances of the era are explained for a modern audience. Academic and Research Significance - Primary Source: It is considered an indispensable resource for naval historians and enthusiasts of Patrick O'Brian or C.S. Forester, as it contains the real-life inspirations for much of the period's maritime fiction. By indexing and organising the chaotic original monthly issues, this edition allows researchers to track specific ships, officers, or tactical developments with much greater ease. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction; 1793 Home Waters; 1793-1794 Mediterranean: The Occupation of Toulon and Corsica; 1793 -1794 West Indies; 1794 The Battle of the Glorious First of June; 1794-1795 Home Waters; 1795 East Indies; 1795 Mediterranean: Hotham's Actions; 1796-1797 Home Waters: Ireland; 1797 Mediterranean: Cape St Vincent, Cadiz and Tenerife; 1797-1798 West Indies; 1797 Spithead Mutiny; 1795-1797 North Sea Operations: The Mutiny at the Nore and the Battle of Camperdown; 1798 Coastal and Commerce Warfare; 1798 Battle of the Nile; 1798 Ireland, Malta and Minorca; Appendix 1 Papers on Naval Strategy and Tactics; Appendix 2 Ship Design -- "Volume One of a consolidated edition of the most significant British naval news and views from the original 40-volume series. From 1799 to 1819 over 1000 pages of naval news and views were published every year in 'The Naval Chronicle'. It included action reports, intelligence of foreign naval matters, biographies of officers, anecdotes and stories and poetry, and the publication was quickly recognised as the most reliable and comprehensive record of naval events. Nicholas Tracy, a member of the history department of the University of New Brunswick, is the editor of Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail and the author of the definitive Nelson's Battles.".…
