Description

Basil Hall entered the royal navy in 1802; in 1803 received his first commission as Lieutenant ; in 1814 was promoted to the rank of Commander; and in 1817 he was made a Post-Captain. The opportunities which the naval profession affords both for scientific pursuits and the study of men and manners in various climes happened in Captain Hall's case to lead him into scenes of more than usual interest ; or perhaps it would be more correct to state that his eager and indefatigable pursuit of knowledge induced him to seek every means of extending the sphere of his observations. In 1813, when acting commander of the Theban on the East India station, he accompanied Sir Samuel hood, the Admiral, in a journey over the greater part of the island of Java. Soon after his return to England he was appointed to the command of the Lyra, a small gun-brig, in which he accompanied the expedition which took out Lord Amherst as ambassador to China. While the ambassador was pursuing his journey inland to Peking, Captain Hall in the Lyra visited the places of greatest interest in the adjacent seas. and on his return to England in 1817 he published A Voyage of Discovery to the Western Coast of Korea, and the Groat Loo Chou Island in the Japan Sea.' There is an appendix to the work, which contains charts and various hydrographical and scientific notices. A second edition was published in 1820, in which the scientific details are omitted ; and in 1827 the work appeared in a still more popular form as the first volume of 'Constable's Miscellany.' In this edition there is an interesting account of Captain Hall's interview at St. Helena with the ex-Emperor Napoleon. Sir James Hall (Captain Hall's father) had been the emperor's fellow-student at Brienne, and was the first native of Great Britain whom the emperor recollected to have seen. Captain Hall was next employed on the South American station in command of the Conway. Having returned to England early in 1823, Captain Hall published 'Extracts from a Journal written on the Coasts of Chili, Peru, and Mexico, in the years 1820, 1821, and 1822,' with an appendix containing a memoir on the Navigation of the South American station.
