“This volume is by far the most comprehensive specialist work of its period, covering almost 5000 officers serving in the British Navy in 1845. It was an enormous undertaking to draw together such detailed biographical information from both official records and personal contributions. Since then this work has proved itself to be an invaluable source of reference for naval historians…” (Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Fieldhouse, from the Foreword).
