NAVARRETE, MARTIN FERNANDEZ DE (17651844) , Spanish historian, was born at Abalos on the 9th of November 1765, and entered the navy in 1780. He was engaged in the unsuccessful operations against Gibraltar in 1782, and afterwards in the suppression of Algerine pirates. Ill-
health
  compelled him for a time to withdraw from active service, but he devoted this forced leisure to historical research, and in 1789 he was appointed by the crown to examine the
national
  archives relating to the maritime
history
  of Spain. Rejoining the navy in 1793, he was present at the siege of Toulon, and afterwards received command of a frigate. From 179.7 to 18o8 he held in succession various
important posts in the
ministry
  of marine. In 18o8 the
French
  invasion led to his withdrawal to
Andalusia
 , and the rest of his
life
  was entirely devoted to literature. In 1819 appeared, as an appendix to the
Academy
 's edition of Don Quijote, his Vida de Cervantes, and in 1825 the first two volumes of the Coleccion de los Viajes y Descubrimientos que hicieron por Mar los Espanoles desde fines del Siglo X V. (3rd vol., 1829; 4th vol., 1837). In 1837 he was made a senator and director of the
academy
  of
history
 . At the time of his death, on the 8th of October 1844, he was assisting in the preparation of the Coleccion de Documentos Ineditos para la Historia de Espana. His Disertacion sobre la Historia de la Nautica (1846) and Biblioteca Maritima Espanola (1851), were published posthumously.
