Readers of this book will gain a fascinating insight into Naval
discipline and social conditions. This collection of naval court martial transcripts and
related documents from the time of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars contributes
not only to our understanding of military jurisprudence in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries but also to our knowledge of Georgian and Regency criminal law in
general. Each chapter presents transcripts relating to different groups of offences. Chapter
one deals with procedural matters; Chapter Two covers trails arising from transgressions of
the laws of Georgian and Regency society like drunkenness, theft, violence and
homosexuality. Chapter Three is devoted to proceedings against types of naval offence, such
a mutiny, insolence, desertion or loss of ship. Chapter Four treats of cases involving
adjudications for multiple infractions. These transcripts are presented in their entirety
and offer a unique window to the social conditions and behaviour aboard the King's ships at
the time.
