Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Chronicle, for 1811, Vol. 25: Containing a General and Biographical History of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom; With a Variety of Original Papers on Nautical Subjects; January to June We have reason to believe; that much of the naval biography which this Volume comprises, has already excited considerable interest. The biographical memoir of Captain Tomlinson discloses acase of extraordinary hardship, of a complicated nature a case which, it is hoped, for the credit of government, were it to be taken up in an appropriate manner, might yet'he redressed. - The respective memoirs of the late Captains Inman and Douglas will be found to have recorded the services of two meritorious officers. For a por tion of the materials which compose the record of the late Captain Forrest's professional life, we are indebted to our esteemed Cor respondent, A. F. Y.-sir John Laforey's memoir, we hope, will be shortly followed by that of his son, the rear-admiral. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
