清嘉慶二十四年（1819）《新安縣志》二十四卷之中，卷之十二係「海防畧」，下分「防海形勢」同「寨船」（掃描本第 15 頁上葉目錄逐卷列出；掃描本第 175 頁上下兩葉版心亦實測題「卷之十二 防海形勢」，頁次十、十一）。相鄰各卷：卷之十一 經政畧四係兵制、屯田沿革、驛政、倉儲，卷之十三 防省志係災異、寇盜、遷復（遷界同復界嘅記錄，另見兩條）。書前凡例（掃描本第 14 頁）講明設呢一門嘅理由：「新邑瀕海重地，今雖幸際昇平，鯨波永靜，然前事不忘，而慎固封守，有備所以無患也，故特立海防門」；凡例又記全書除卷首恭列訓典外分十三門，各門有小引。呢條係人手核讀嘅內容事實，同志錄並排對照：《香港志》志錄記明代香港海上貿易漸盛、被列為廣東海防前哨，並記清康熙七年（1668）清廷喺大埔頭、麻雀嶺、獅子嶺同屯門嘅墩台安置寨兵以守邊。即 1819 年官修縣志已把海防列作專門門類；「防海形勢」同「寨船」兩門正文其後亦已逐葉核讀，另立兩條（防海形勢記南頭寨汛地六處、砲臺同海賊倭寇，寨船記南頭寨、新安營、大鵬營船隻），呢條只記卷目同凡例。

Among the 24 juan of the Jiaqing 24 (1819) edition of the Xin’an County Gazetteer, juan 12 is the “Coastal Defence” juan, divided into “coastal-defence topography” and “the fleet” (the table of contents on the upper leaf of page 15 of the scan lists it juan by juan, and the running heads of both leaves of page 175 also read “juan 12, coastal-defence topography”, folios 10 and 11). The neighbouring juan 11 covers military establishment, military-agricultural land, courier posts and granaries, while juan 13, “Provincial defence records”, covers natural calamities, banditry and the boundary evacuation and restoration (see the two separate entries). The preface-rules leaf (page 14 of the scan) gives the reason for setting up the section: the county is a maritime place of importance, and although the seas are calm today, past events must not be forgotten, the defences must be made secure, and preparedness averts trouble — hence a dedicated coastal-defence section; the same rules note that the book has thirteen sections besides the prefatory juan, each with a short introduction. This content fact was read by hand and sits alongside the Chronicles archive, which records that seaborne trade in Ming-era Hong Kong grew until the area was counted a front-line station of Guangdong coastal defence, and that in 1668 the Qing posted garrison troops at watchtowers in Tai Po Tau, Ma Tseuk Leng, Sze Tsz Leng and Tuen Mun. The body of the juan has since been read leaf by leaf and published as two further entries — one on coastal-defence topography (the Nantou fort’s six stations, the batteries, and the pirates and Japanese raiders) and one on the fleet (the warships of the Nantou fort and the boats of the Xin’an and Tai Pang camps); this entry covers only the juan’s place in the book and its preface rules.
