Herbert's account of his life during the years 1814 to 1820.

Title page reads "George Flower Herbert, Lieutenant of HMS San Josef. 'Continued'". The account begins 15 August 1814, with Herbert’s appointment to the ULYSSES at Plymouth in the Autumn of that year having left the SAN JOSEF. He describes a voyage down the African coast via Madeira and Ghana to capture slave ships and destroy "slave factories" with the help of local Indigenous interpreters and guides. He includes details about convoy arrangements made with merchant ships and convict ships headed for Botany Bay. Stopping at St Helena on their homeward voyage they receive news of the changing political situation in Europe "of Buonaparte's having entered France from the Island of Elba". The voyage ends in early 1816, and the account goes on to sumarize events of the following few years, including Herbert's joining HMS IMPREGNABLE in 1816, losing his appointment and becoming "idle" in 1818, embarking on a trip to France on a yacht on 17 July 1819, and ending in the Spring of 1820. Inserted in the volume are various loose documents including: a list of "Subscriptions received on account of the Chart published by Mr Lee Esq and Captain G F Herbert RN" dated 1833-1834; a memo describing an incident involving a fishing vessel dated 1821 signed by Herbert and Admiral Cochrane; and loose journal entries relating to time spent in France, dated 1820-1821.
