About This Item
1761 Naval History Britain Barrow Voyages MAPS Walter Raleigh Francis Drake 4v
John Barrow was an 18th-century English naval historian remembered for his illustrated dictionaries. Perhaps his best work is 'The Naval History of Great Britain', a book about the lives and military conquests of British admirals and ship commanders. It offers commentary on some of the most notable sea battles during the Seven Years War.
This highly valuable and desirable work contains impressive folding engravings depicting views of ships, portraits of admirals such as Walter Raleigh, Francis Drake, and Robert Blake, and maps of the world!
