The Addenda contain such additional information as has been transmitted to me since the Work went to the Press. At p. 866, will be found a copy of the petition which was originally presented to the Guardians of the Widows' Charity, relative to the pensions granted to relicts of Naval Officers; and which led to the establishment of the benevolent regulations now in force.
The reader is requested to turn to the Errata, which is inserted after the Table of Contents; also to the Corrigenda at the end of each volume; and make the necessary corrections.
The abbreviations will be readily understood by referring to the titles of officers, as given at length at the commencement of each memoir.
A Supplement to the Addenda will be delivered with the next volume.
Vol. II. commences with the memoirs of the Superannuated Rear-Admirals and Retired Captains, and contains those of all the Post-Captains who were living on the first day of the present year; and of those officers who have since obtained Post rank.
