NAVAL HISTORY of GREAT
BRITAIN, from the commencement of the War of
1793, to the Accession of GEORGE I,HE FOURTH.
By WILLIAM JAMES,
_ _

Author of an Accou'ut of the Naval and AliMaly occurrences

of the late American War, &c. &c.

" From our insular situation, we are led to avail ourselves of
a Naval Force in some, such manner as that in which all
animals are directed to malie use of the weapons with which
nature has furnished -them, whether for support or de-
fence."—Clerk's Essay on Naval Tactics, p. 6.
That a 'Nation so highly indebted to tier Navy as England,
should not possess a -Work that gives details of her principal
Sea-fights, would create less surprise than it does, were the
labour and diffictilty of collecting and arranging those de-
tails duly considered. The only channel that supplies the
public with accredited accounts of battles, usually limits its
intelligence to successful cases; affording, even of these, no
more than an outline, and that, from unavoidable circum-
stances, not always correct. .Hence the Naval Annalist,
after having extracted hom the London Gazette every iota
of its information, finds that his taste has only commenced ;
and that the particulars, how important soever, of the nu-
merous cases before him are yet to be sought. Not only has
he to gathei- his facts from British Officers dispersed over half
the Globe ; lint, if ambitious to rank as.an impartia4 as well
as an industrious historian, he must pursue his inquiries
among foreign officers and foreign documents; thereby to be
enabled to show, that he has conformed to the maxim of Audi
alteram partem, and drawn up his statements from a careful
comparison of all the different accounts.
Thus impressed as to the nature and difficulty of the tinlier-
talrit' ' the Author has,,for m
some years past, been,aassiog
et
materrals for a Naval History of England, to commence from
the date expressed in the title. His Work, nowin a very for-
ward state, will contain as follows :

1. A detailed narrative of all the actions fought between
the ships and fleets of England and of other powers, since the
commencement of the war of 1793. In every important in-
stance, there will be a statement of the real force of the com-
batants, without which thC merits of the case cannot be
properly appreciated. This is a point of rery
went ; and one which, on that account, has usually been,
where not overhiOkeil or evaded, grossly Misrepresented, in
all the great fleet actions' especially, and yet most of these
hare had whole colonies written in their celebration.

2. An account, rather less in detail than the, preceding, Qf
all comUined-operation‘, compreliending.the joi►rt attacks by
sailiiri•and soldiers, of forts, islands, and settlements. An
account, also, of the different discussions and disputes be-
tween England 'and the neutral nations. • . •

3. An historical summary of the progressive' increase and
improvement of the British Royal Navy from its foundation;
illustrated, from the first of January 1793, by annual tables,
exhibiting the number, burden in tons, and rc-►i force, of
every class of cruising ship, both in commission and in ordi-
nary; -the increase compartment particularizing those built
in the King's, and in the Merchant's Yards, and those cap-
hired from the enemy, or otherwise introduced into the ser-
vice ; the Decrease, those captured, wrecked, lost by any
other casualty, or discharged from the service. This series
of tables forms, with the copious notes subjoined to each, the
most complete view of the subject _that has yet• appeared in
print. The state of the Foreign Navies will, front time to
time, be.introdneed, in order to afford
,the means of compari-
son ;.and in both ,cases some very important mistaket of other.
writers will be pr:inted out and corrected.
To the whole will be added an analytical Index.
As much important matter connected with -the subject is
still in the-possession of Naval Officers, with whose residence,
or even names, the author is not at present acquainted, he,
will be grateful for any_comtrutnication of authentic par-
ticulars. Letters May. be addressed to him at Nu. 13, Chapel
Fields, Sobth Lambeth.
•
The Work will Be. comprised in fourthick Octavo volumes ;
the paper and printing he of the best hind ; and the price
not exceed throe guineas. The Author, considering that a
list of distinguished Subscribers, part of them professionally
connected with the subject of his Work, most tend to give
an assurance in his favour, respectfully refers to the sub-
joiiied_names, the fruits of only a few days' exertions. So
auspicious a commencement induces him to hope that his list
will still increase ; and accordingly, he has requested the
following Booksellers to receive subscribers' Names :
Black and Company, Leadenhall-street ; Longman and
Compatiy, Paternoster- row ; lhinter, St. Paul's Church-yard ;
Egerton, Whitehall; and Booth, Duke-street; Portland-
place.
