Chopart will be Vice-Admiral of the French Navy, he will participate in particular in the Algiers expedition in 1830. His book is in line with the tactics of the 18th century sailing navy, but as a former student from polytechnique he constantly uses geometric tools to demonstrate his movements. Beautiful printing on quality paper for this naval tactics book.
references: Michel Depeyre ["De 1760 à 1830, continuité ou discontinuité en tactique navale ? ": "Narcisse Chopart (1806-1895) publie en 1839 des Essais sur les évolutions navales qui dérivent directement des travaux des spécialistes du siècle précédent. Les ordres y tiennent toujours une place considérable et l'outil mathématique est abondamment utilisé."].
