Index to James's Naval History
This volume provides a comprehensive index to the British and Foreign ships, Naval Officers, Military Officers and Naval Actions listed in William James' Naval History of Great Britain, 1793-1820. The five volumes of James' work were first published in London between 1822-24 and there were numerous later editions. It remains by far the most detailed account of British naval operations of this period, but only the 4th edition, 1847, has an index, without which the work is almost unusable. This is an index to the 7th edition, 1886, but it will work with all editions from the 3rd of 1837 and is an invaluable research aid.

More than fifty specialists have contributed to the new edition of volume 5 of the Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

Featuring writers such as Mary Shelley, Christopher Wordsworth, William Thackeray, Theodore Bent, Isabella Fyvie Mayo, Oscar Wilde, and Vernon Lee,...
