Research notes of Commander John Hely Owen, 1938-1939.
The entire collection relates to Owen’s research for a projected work 'Naval Aspects of the War of 1812-1814'. It consists of a series of ring binders holding notes made from the dispatches and correspondence of naval officers, military leaders and secretaries of state during the period 1812-1815.
There are many extracts from the letters of senior naval officers and secretaries of the Admiralty from the ADM 1 and ADM 2 series held at the Public Records Office, now The National Archives. Owen also made notes from the calendar of the papers of Earl Bathurst issued by the Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC), published by HMSO, London, 1923; the despatches of Field Marshal Arthur, Duke of Wellington, edited by John Gurwood, published in 1858-1880; and the correspondence of Napoleon published by Plon, Paris, 1868.
