'Naval Characters' - Volume of Reports and letters.
Letters and engravings, reports on proceedings in America, 1757, and several Nelson facsimilies. Correspondents include Admiral Thomas Griffin (q.v.), Admiral Sir Piercy Brett (1709-1781), Admiral Sir Charles Knowles (1704-1777) and Lord Hervey (later Vice-Admiral the Earl of Bristol) (1724-1779).
