Bibliography of 18th–19th century Royal Naval history

This Bibliography covers sources for Royal Navy history through the 18th and 19th centuries.

Among the contemporary and earlier historical accounts are primary sources, historical accounts, often derived from letters, dispatches, government and military records, captain's logs and diaries, etc., by people involved in or closely associated to the historical episode in question.

Primary source material is either written by these people or often collected, compiled, and/or written and published by other editors also, sometimes many years after the historical subject has passed.

Primary sources listed in this bibliography are denoted with an uppercase bold ' (P) before the book title.

Publications that are in the public domain and available online for viewing in their entirety are denoted with E'Book.
