 Desolation Island, by Patrick O'Brian
In a way, one of the central characters of "Desolation Island" is Jack Aubrey's ship, HMS Leopard, unaffectionately known as "the horrible old Leopard," one of that class of Fourth Rates known as 50-gun ships.
One reference omitted in Bruce's synopsis is the "Chesapeake" affair, the reason she is best known to Americans, which is mentioned in the Canon (one of the reasons why Jack and other officers who had served on her, even if not at that time, get such short shrift as prisoners of war in the USA).
"Leander" was taken 2 weeks later after an epic fight with the "Genereux", 80, one of only 2 French ships of the line which had escaped the destruction at Aboukir Bay, in one of the most heroic resistances against odds in the annals of the Royal Navy.

Naval birchings were at their most frequent shortly after their introduction: there were 660 in 1870, 535 in 1874, and 401 in 1876.
Finally, it is interesting to note that the flogging of boys by Court Martial, as distinct from summarily by the Captain, did occur occasionally - and continued to be by 'cat' for some time after the birch had taken over for all summary formal c.p.

Born in 560, Isidore succeeded his brother Saint Leander as archbishop of Sevilla about 600, during a time when the Spanish church witnessed numerous councils, one of the greatest being the fourth Council of Toledo (633).
Isidore headed this council, which, among other politico-religious matters, decreed union between church and state, toleration of Jews, and uniformity in the Spanish Mass.
He successfully continued Leander's conversion of the Visigoths from Arianism (the heretical doctrine teaching that the Son was neither equal with God the Father nor eternal) to orthodox Christianity.
