Sobre este artículo
London:: J. Wallis and C. Stonehouse,, 1776.. First Printing of the First UK Edition. Both volumes are Near Fine bound in three-quarter leather and marble bindings. "The most material circumstances of naval history from the Norman invasion to the conclusion of the last war". John Campbell's name is absent from the title page (added in later editions) though Kent acknowledges him in the foreword. Campbell was a career author, and a friend of Samuel Johnson�s. This is probably his most popular work, going through several editions since its initial appearance in 1742-4. It covers the period from the Norman invasion to 1779, and in one of the sources of the tradition of British naval hagiography. Frontis engravings and illustrations present.
