[Royal Navy, Naval Pay, Napoleonic Wars] ~ [NAVAL ECONOMY] Naval Economy: Exemplified in Conversations Between a Member of Parliament and the Officers of a Man of War, During a Winter's Cruize; Addressed to the Honorable Members of Both Houses of Parliament, and the Officers of the Royal Navy London. Printed By John Dean....for William Lindsell, 1811.

8vo. [2], iv, 78, 10pp. Recent paper boards. Shaved ink inscription of J.D. Thomson, presumably John Deas Thomson (1763-1838), Accountant-General to the Royal Navy, to title.

A fascinating dialogic examination, between an anonymous member of Parliament, and the officers of an early nineteenth-century Man of War, of the state of Senior Service in the final years of the Napoleonic Wars. Focusing particularly upon the states of existing masts and sails, it promotes the funding and provisioning of improvements in naval equipment whilst also revealing the subtleties of the command structure and and professional expectations of the officer class of the Royal Navy. Copac records two copies of this first edition, at BL and the National Maritime Museum, with OCLC adding NYPL and Irvine Library, University of California.
