The Life of George Lord Anson is a biographical account of the life and achievements of George Anson, a prominent naval officer in 18th century Britain. Written by John Barrow, the book provides a comprehensive look at Anson's life, from his early years as a sailor to his rise through the ranks of the Royal Navy to become Admiral of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral of Great Britain, and First Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty.The book covers Anson's various naval expeditions and battles, including his famous voyage around the world on the HMS Centurion, during which he captured a Spanish treasure ship and became one of the richest men in England. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his political career and influence on the development of the British Navy.Barrow's biography is based on extensive research, including Anson's own journals and letters, as well as official naval records and other historical documents. The book offers a fascinating insight into the life of one of Britain's most celebrated naval heroes and provides a valuable perspective on the history of the Royal Navy and the wider political and social context of 18th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
