Sinopse
Características

Originally published in 1886, this work contains the letters and dispatches of one of Britains most famous military leaders, Admiral Horatio Nelson. The following passage is from the introduction:This selection of Nelsons letters and despatches has been made with the view of bringing within a moderate compass Nelsons own exposition of his professional life. The materials were ready to hand in Sir N. Harris Nicolass great work, for permission to quarry in which, I am indebted to the courtesy of the authors son, Mr. Harris Nicolas of the Audit Office, and of Messrs. Chatto & Windus, the representatives of his publishers. I have indeed been fortunately able to correct some errors of transcription and to add a few letters or minutes of interest. Had merely new letters been an object, it was in my power to have included several on matters of everyday routine, which the more systematic arrangement of the Admiralty Records has brought to light; as also some which have been published in the Athenaesum. But I was not in search of mere novelty of this kind; and with very few exceptions, I found enough for my purpose in Nicolass seven portly volumes, the value of which to the naval student has been somewhat lessened by their great bulk, and even, perhaps, by the very completeness of the collection.
