With naval experience and contacts, John Charnock (1756–1807) embarked on research into historical and contemporary naval affairs. His six-volume Biographia Navalis (1794–8) is also reissued in this series. This three-volume work, published 1800–2, stands as the first serious study of British naval architecture, and also covers developments overseas.
