BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THIS WORK
A NAVAL BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY
COMPRISING THE LIFE & SERVICES OF
EVERY LIVING OFFICER IN HER MAJESTY'S NAVY
FROM THE RANK OF
ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET TO THAT OF LIEUTENANT
INCLUSIVE
1849
THE FOLLOWING IS THE BEGINNING OF THE PREFACE
At length, after six years of unremitting toil, mental and physical, I have suceeded, to the entire exclusion of every other pursuit, in accomplishing and undertaking deemed by all most arduous, by many impractical; disheartening truly in the perspective, but in the retrospect, a source to me of sincere gratification and, I hope I may add, of honourable pride.
That any apology will be considered necessary for the publication of the present work I cannot believe: it was due to the service - it was due also to the country. To the country, it was due that it should be made aquainted with the merits, individually, of men to whose collective efforts it is, in the main, indebted for its proud pre-eminence in the scale of nations; and upon whom it must, in days to come, rely in a great measure for its permanent security.
To the profession, it was due that some exertion should be made to furnish a public memorial of the services performed, the dangers braved, the honours attained, and the disappointments suffered, by those who have fought and bled in support of Englands greatness, and who, during a long period of peace, have equally maintained her dignity, afforded protection to her commerce and in every way guarded her interests.
Should any explanation, however, be looked for of the causes which have induced a civilian, previously unconnected with the service, to embark in such an undertaking, the only excuse I have to offer is, that I perceived the necessity that existed for a book of the kind, and that I have determined to attempt to supply it. The degree of success I may have achieved in the performance of my self - imposed task, it is not for me to estimate; but I can venture to claim credit for the most earnest zeal, the most unwearied industry, and the most undeviating impartiality in the prosecution of my labours.
SO WHAT INFORMATION ARE YOU LIKELY TO FIND?
The information contained in each Biography differs from Officer to Officer, also some will have a couple of paragraphs others will have a page or two. Also some software for more common letters of the Alpabet for instance S would have far more Biography's and pages than say letter V.
Given that most of you would only be interested in the Biography of one officer, then it should make no odds if your choosen Surname happens to be in software that contains only a small amount of pages. I just wanted you to be clear on this, this book cost us several hundred pounds, therefore that is reflected in the price of the Software & why it had to be broken down by Surname.
The sort of information contained will include such things as:
DATE OF BIRTH
NAME OF THE OFFICER'S FATHER
RANK ON ENTRY
PROMOTIONS
AWARDS
NAMES OF CAPTAIN'S SERVED UNDER
NAMES OF SHIPS THEY SAILED IN
ACTIONS THEY TOOK PART IN
WHO THEY MARRIED
WHEN THEY MARRIED
HOW MANY CHILDREN THEY HAVE
RETIREMENT
REMEMBER DETAILS VARY FROM MAN TO MAN!
ALSO REMEMBER THIS SOFTWARE IS FOR SURNAMES BEGINNING "A" ONLY!!!!!
