Brett S Illustrated Naval History Of Great Britain

"Edward Pelham Brenton (1774-1830) himself served in the Royal Navy during most of the period under review, reaching the rank of post-captain, and was the brother of Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton, American-born loyalist who served in the Swedish navy against Russia and was wrecked and taken prisoner in France during the Napoleonic Wars. Brenton writes of the immortals of British naval history as of peers, and often his information comes first hand or at least from intimates of those who were there."--abebooks website.
