Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important harbours around the world. Volume 4 (1800) contains biographies of the heroes of recent significant battles, including Earl St. Vincent and Viscount Duncan. Articles on naval tactics focus on the Battle of the Nile in 1797 and French maritime affairs.
