Abstract
<p><em>The British in the Adriatic, 1800–1825</em> brings together three detailed studies of British naval and military, diplomatic and commercial activity in the eastern Adriatic during the Napoleonic wars, drawing on original research in various British archives. A focus is the strategically important island of Vis, where there are the remains of British fortifications, another the town of Rijeka where a leading merchant had lengthy dealings with the British Navy Board for the provision of timber.</p> <p><br> </p> <p>The third part, hitherto unpublished, was written on the bicentenary in 2012 of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. It investigates the unrealized plans by the British and Russians for a diversionary attack in the Adriatic.</p>
