London: Printed and Published by and for Joyce Gold, etc., 1799-1818. In 40 volumes. Tall 8vo. Illustrated with 514 engraved plates, maps, and charts (including 14 folding, two hand-colored, and 36 frontispiece portraits).

A rare, complete set of this periodical. The Naval Chronicle was a monthly magazine published in London in parts from January 1799 to 1818, during the period from the Napoleonic Wars through to the War of 1812. Each issue featured an extensive number of reports of naval battles, including lists of captured and wrecked vessels; news of promotions, retirements and deaths; biographical sketches and first-hand battle accounts; and more news and gossip generally related to the affairs of the Royal Navy.
