Rules, Orders, and Instructions for the Future Government of the Office of the Ordnance.
This copy of the Regulations of the Ordnance was almost certainly made for Admiral Sir Edward Campbell Rich Owen when he became Surveyor General of the Ordnance in 1827. Owen commanded the Nemesis in the North Sea and off Boulogne in 1801, and in 1802 was appointed to the Immortalité employed in harrying traffic off the Coast of France. He accompanied the Walcheren Expedition in 1809 and from 1816 to 1822 commanded the Royal Sovereign yacht, afterwards becoming Commander-in-Chief of the West Indies, 1822-5, of the East Indies, 1828-32, and the Mediterranean, 1841-5.
