摘要

I must declare a particular interest in biographical works as in my time I have contributed naval entries to the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) and to its trans-Tasman mate the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The many volumes of both series together with the bulky William O'Byrne's 1849 A Naval Biographical Dictionary are on shelves near me as I write this review. If Alastair Wilson's Biographical Dictionary is the way of the future, historians' shelves will no longer bulge with such tomes. Wilson's work, of which this is the first instalment, is planned as a collection of compact discs accompanied by a slim book containing explanatory notes. It's the CD, attached to the inside rear cover, that holds the biographical information on these very senior flag officers. (One might quibble about how many of them there are - page vi of the book states that there are '355 individuals' while the rear of the dust jacket gives '336' -I have not attempted to count them!)
