From Middy to Admiral of the Fleet: The Story of Commodore Anson is a historical biography written by James Macaulay and published in 1891. The book tells the story of George Anson, a British naval officer who rose through the ranks to become one of the most successful and respected commanders of his time. Anson is best known for his circumnavigation of the globe from 1740-1744, during which he led a squadron of ships on a mission to disrupt Spanish trade in the Pacific. The book chronicles Anson's early life, his naval career, and his famous voyage, as well as his later years as a prominent figure in British society. Macaulay's writing style is engaging and accessible, making this book an excellent choice for anyone interested in naval history or the lives of great military leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
