"A narrative of the expedition to Algiers in the year 1816, under the command of the Right Hon. Admiral Lord Viscount Exmouth" by Abraham V. Salamé

The attack on Algiers to free European slaves and to attempt to "convince" the Dey of Algiers to end the practice was one of Adm. Sir Edward Pellew's most famous naval actions, for which he was created Viscount Exmouth.
