He was the son of Joseph Marryat, a civil servant, who had written pamphlets in support of the Slave Trade and later became M. P. for Sandwich. Frederick joined the Navy in H.M.S. 'Imperieuse' in 1806. In 1820 he was promoted captain, and took command of the sloop 'Beaver' at St. Helena, where Napoleon was in exile. He remained there until the ex-emperor's death in 1821. After a distinguished career in various parts of the world, Marryat retired from the navy in 1830, and devoted the remainder of his life to writing. His clear, straightforward style makes his novels an important link between those of Smollett and Fielding and Charles Dickens. He died in Langham manor in Norfolk on 9th August 1848."
