Decorated by Society's seal on title page. An undated facsimile reprint of the original 1906 publication. An account of service at sea by James Anthony Gardner, as his father's servant, midshipman and lieutenant, on fifteen vessels, 1775-1802 (including the Victory, 1794-95) and subsequently as agent of transports at Portsmouth and in charge of the Fairlight Signal Station, 1806-14. He was then placed on half pay and retired in 1830 with the rank of commander. Gardner (1770-1846) attended the Naval Academy, Gosport, 1780-81 and his real sea service began on the Panther in 1782. As he did not intend his memoirs for publication, Gardner was able to provide an uninhibited account of life of board with criticism of his shipmates. At the end of each account of a ship are comments on fellow officers, petty officers, etc., e.g. Broke by court martial and rendered incapable of serving, for going on shore without leave to fight a duel. Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton (1829-1912) served in the Arctic and the Second China War and was appointed First Naval Lord in 1889. John Knox Laughton (1830-1915) served at sea as a Royal Navy Instructor and then pursued a career ashore as a teacher and naval historian. He became Professor of Modern History at King's College, London and co-founded the Navy Records Society in 1893, becoming its first secretary.

Martin, 1773 to 1854, became Comptroller of the Navy in 1816, remaining in the post until 1831 during which time he reduced the fleet significantly, turning it into a far more streamlined service focusing on protecting trade related to the British Empire. He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet in 1849. He expressed strong Tory views, hostile in particular to the Earl Grey government, and sat as MP for Plymouth from 1818 until he was effectively sacked in 1831 for insubordination including in his strong determination to resist cuts to naval budget. . . . The letters and papers were published in three volumes covering successive periods. Volume I, covers Martin's early career, up to 1807, including service in the French Revolutionary Wars, a period in the West Indies and the start of the Napoleonic Wars; this volume, volume II, covers the period 1808 to 1813, taking in more of the Napoleonic Wars as well as service in Sweden; volume III covers the remainder of his career, including his time as Comptroller and as MP for Plymouth. However, it was decided to publish volume II first, hence the curious reversal of publication dates. . . . See item 001106 for a copy of volume I.
