Frances Jodrell's defence of her father, Admiral Sir Charles Napier (1786-1860), was occasioned by accusations in The Times against his character and conduct during the Crimean War. A staunch guardian of her father's memory, Frances lived to criticize the entry in the Dictionary of National Biography and caused a second account to be written.
An expanded second edition was published in London later that year, which included the text of the book review in "The Times".
