The preface is dated Naples, 15 April 1800, and is directed to the commanders of the Italian navy.The manual was compiled as a supplement to a manual titled Istruzioni dirette agl'inglesi ... tradotte per sovrano comando, e corredate di annotazioni da Giannantonio de Torrebruna tenente colonnello al servizio di sua Maesta il Re delle Sicilie, published at Naples by the Stamperia Reale in 1798 (with an expanded edition in 1799).
