Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Nelson: The Embodiment of the Sea Power of Great Britain
As far as they go, these new letters confirm the remark made more than once by the author during his first study of the life Of Nelson: that more letters might yet be found; that a trivial detail of fact might here and there receive correction, altering a little the background, or the framing, of the portrait; but that the mass of cor respondence published by Nicolas 'was so extensive, so continuous, and addressed to so many different persons, as to make it highly improbable that any further light, not to be found in those volumes, would be shed upon the ad miral's character. So much being known, biographies Of Nelson will contrast one with another, not in point of abundance Of material, but, as portraits do, according to the ability of the workman to reproduce, from the original before him, an impression Of the man which shall be at once true, full, and living.
