FREDERICK CHAPMAN: ARCHITECTURA NAVALIS MERCATORIA, Stockholm [no publisher], 1768, First Edition, engraved throughout, double page pictorial title by Arre, double-page dedication and 62 double-page plates, bound in a very good copy of modern half calf, modern gilt title label on front cover, folio -- 23¾ x 18¼in. (60.5 x 46.5cm.), This splendid and impressively-sized production represents the most important work of naval architecture of the 18th century, surpassing Jombert, Duchamel du Monceau and other works by naval architects. An Englishman, Frederick Henry Chapman (1721-1808) was manager of the shipyard at Karlskrona and, under the direction of Gustav III, was the founder of the modern Swedish navy. This first edition (there were several printed later) is rare, partly owing to its practical use in shipyards of the period.

WILLIAM SHOVELLER, SURGEON RN: AN INTERESTING ARCHIVE OF NAPOLEONIC-ERA SHIPBOARD LETTERS, comprising 17 letters spanning 12th January 1798 - 18th July 1813 and addressed to his sister Betsy and one to his brother Thomas, in all 53 pages, 4to and 2 folio, all with remains of wax seals and various postmarks, (A lot), An interesting collection of affectionate letters to his sister in which, in the first letter, he describes Christmas on H.M.S. Isis (50 guns). By 1801 his new ship, the Romney (also 50 guns) is anchored in the Bay of Bengal and in 1802 he describes a visit to the Court of the Pacha in Cairo. By May 1804 he was back at sea following a stint in St George's Hospital, London during the peace of Amiens. In May of that year he was on the Leviathan (74 guns), where we joined Lord Nelson off Toulon. In the next letters the Leviathan retained its position in the blockade of Toulon, A signal is just made on the Victory to send letters to England'. In May 1805 he remarked we have at length quitted the straights [sic] and mean to wait off Cape Finistre [sic] for orders to pursuing the French Fleet, we think they are gone to the West Indies. Leviathan fought at Trafalgar just three ships behind Victory in the windward column and was engaged in heavy fighting. Shoveller's journals of the Trafalgar period are kept at the National Archives and are regarded as one of the most coherent accounts of the medical procedures carried out in the wake of the battle.
