This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most influential maritime publication of its day.

Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important harbours around the world. Volume 18 (1807) covers the Peace of Tilsit between France and Russia, a deterioration in Anglo-American relations, and the British attack on Copenhagen to seize the Danish fleet. Reports from Denmark include that of Sir Arthur Wellesley, and subsequent diplomatic exchanges. The volume also records the military attack on Montevideo, and the state of Anglo-Portuguese relations at the beginning of the Peninsular War.
