Naval occurrences of the War of 1812 : a full and correct account of the naval war between Great Britain and the United States of America, 1812-1815
"This controversial book was first published in June 1817 in response to the exaggerated and false accounts then circulating in America and Britain regarding the apparent recent successes of the United States Navy over the Royal Navy in fights between vessels of supposedly equal force. In single-ship actions, such as the USS Constitution's capture of HMS Guerriere, and the USS United States's fight with HMS Macedonian, the Americans had the upper hand."
