Excerpt from The Naval Chronicle, Vol. 10: From July to December, 1803 The Biographical Sketches which have hitherto appeared in the naval chronicle, have been distinguished by their candour and their correctness. Living characters, as being more immediately in terestin g to their contemporaries, have mostly received a preference of notice; but, as in the ease of that brave veteran, Admiral Tyrell, in the present Volume, we have sometimes explored the records of past times, for the purpose of recalling the. Proud actions of the illustrious dead, as objects of emula tion to their descendants. The Memoirs of living personages, most entitled to public notice in this volume, are Admiral Lord Keith, Admiral Lord Racistock, and vice-admiral Nugent. The trans mission of authentic materials for this department of our Work, particularly when accompanied by the loan of a Portrait, is always esteemed a favour.

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 10 (1803) shows a Navy stretched for resources after the end of the Peace of Amiens. Large numbers of ships were being captured or lost, and the Admiralty was investigating financial irregularities among suppliers where profits were high. Close watch was maintained on French affairs and propaganda. This volume also reports on the link between scurvy and diet and plans for coastal defences in Britain.
