Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Thus. Hardcover. The Trafalgar Roll. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Very slight foxing to edge. This unique reference work details the career of all 33 British ships thjat participated in the Battle of Trafalgar plus lists over 1,250 officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. The ships include HMS Victory and HMS Royal Sovereign, with 104 and 100 guns respectively, but also such minor vessels as the schooner HMS Pickle and cutter HMS Entreprenante, as well as other such famous ships of the Royal navy as HMS Temeraire, HMS Dreadnought and HMS Bellerophon. In this book the careers of over 850 men are detailed, from the Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief himself to captains, lieutenants, masters, masters' mates, and midshipmen, including volunteers (1st class), chaplains, surgeons, assistant surgeons, surgeons' mates, pursers, gunners, boatswains and royal marines captains, lieutenants and 2nd lieutenants. From the names and descriptions of these men we come to realise how ordinary sailors became extraordinary heroes, and the story of Nelson's vicotry takes on a new, richer meaning. Originally published in 1913 and long out of print, this book presents reference material about one of Britain's greatest battles that is both fascinating and unique. 336 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

8vo., pp. 20, 198; the first seven sheets were printed (in 1250 copies) for Constable in Edinburgh, who abandoned the undertaking, the rest (from p. 97) were printed in Aberdeen by J. Burnett; a very good, clean copy in modern library boards, stamps of the Law Library of Los Angeles County, one of them perforating the title-page.Sole edition. This controversial trial was brought as a private prosecution after the Lord Advocate, Charles Hope, had decided not to prosecute any officers or soldiers for killing four peaceable inhabitants of Aberdeen after celebrations of the King's birthday on 4 June 1802 had got out of control. Men and boys in Castle Street in high spirits were pelting each other with dirt, straw, and garbage, when Mackenzie and Mcdonough, who had been drinking with the magistrates and were rather intoxicated, walked back to their barracks and were pelted too. Soldiers from the Ross & Cromarty Rangers then joined in, apparently without orders. While soldiers and citizens jostled up and down Castle Street, Mcdonough attempted to calm the situation. Presently he ordered the soldiers to prime and load to intimidate the crowd, but then ordered them to withdraw to their barracks. Mackenzie meanwhile stayed in his quarters. Later the soldiers came out again, and on three occasions deliberately took aim and fired on the populace, although it was not clear whether any command to fire had been given. A serjeant was at the head of the group that shot John Ross, but he was not positively identified as one of the defendants.It was a strange case. Even the prosecution was reluctant to ask for a conviction. In summing up leading counsel said: 'I shall be happy if . you shall see cause to acquit all or any one of these pannels [i.e., accused persons]; I did not wish to state anything at all, that could be reckoned to be very severe against these prisoners.' And indeed the jury found Mackenzie and Macdonough not guilty, and the case against the serjeants not proven. This case, said the presiding judge, was a warning to the civil powers in every burgh to use their utmost exertions (unlike the magistrates of Aberdeen) to prevent occasions of mirth and rejoicing from turning into confusion and riot. Perhaps it was because of this sense of uneasiness in the legal establishment the Lord Advocate had not wanted to bring the case in the first place that a leading printer like Constable changed his mind about publishing it.
