A fascinating study of midshipmen and other "young gentlemen", outlining their social background, career paths and what life was like for them. Officer recruits - "young gentlemen" - entered the Royal Navy with dreams of fame, fortune and glory, but many found promotion difficult, with a large number unable to progress beyond lieutenant. Recent scholarship has argued thatduring the wars of 1793-1815 there was greater social diversity among naval officers, with promotion increasingly related to professional competence. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the social backgroundof around 4,000 "young gentlemen" a term which includes midshipmen and various other categories, including captains' servants, volunteers and masters' mates. It concludes that in fact high birth became an increasingly important factor in the selection of officer candidates, and that as the Admiralty grip on the appointment and management of officer aspirants increased, especially after 1815, aristocratic presence in the ranks of young officers increased significantly as a result of deliberate Admiralty policy. The book also discusses the assertion that the increase in elite sons led to a dramatic increase in cases of indiscipline and insubordination, concluding that although therewas a marked increase in courts martial for insubordination during and after the French Wars there is no evidence that such cases related more to the elites than to young aspirants in general". The book includes many case study examples of midshipmen and other "young gentlemen", illustrating what life was like for them and how they themselves viewed their situation. S.A. CAVELL is a graduate of the Queensland University of Technology and Louisiana State University and completed her doctorate at the University of Exeter.

Excerpt from Recollections of My Life My father, who retired as a commander, entered the navy at an early age: he served first as a midshipman on board h.m.s. Caroline, Captain Page, and subsequently, among other ships, in the Imperieuse under Lord Cochrane, where among his messmates were Marryat, Houston Stewart, Walpole, and others who rose to distinction. In 1807 he was severely wounded, when in command of the boats of the Imperieuse, in an attack off the coast of Corsica upon a heavily armed ship which was taken with great loss on both sides. Lord Napier of Merchiston was with him on this occasion, and was also wounded. The ship, which proved to be a Maltese privateer under French colours, fired upon the boats: they immediately attacked and took her by boarding, losing many men. My father killed the captain Of the privateer, and had, with other wounds, his right arm shattered by a bullet. For his services on this occasion he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1808. When lying unconscious from fever in Malta Hospital, some one hung a gold cross and chain round his neck with an inscrip tion: he never knew the donor. He recovered after a long illness, with his right arm badly crippled, and remained for some time on half pay. He served afterwards, and was first lieutenant of the Orpheus, Captain Hugh Pigott, during the American war. Subsequently he obtained permission to command an Indiaman, and for many years sailed in ships of that class, the Lady Flora being the last. My earliest recollections are Of Milnthorpe, Kendal, and Ambleside. I remember Wordsworth, who lived at Rydal Mount, and Hartley Coleridge, the poet; also my father's friend, Professor Wilson of Edinburgh (christopher North), who used to visit us. We removed to Scotland when my father was appointed to command one of h.m. Steam packets, flying the pennant and sailing between Portpatrick and Donaghadee, Ireland. It was my ramblings here on the sea-shore and amongst the rocks, and occasional Shooting and fishing expeditions with my father, that first developed my taste for natural history and for sport.
