Southey's '

' : bibliography
of
the 1813 - 1857 English editions
of
Robert's Southey's Life
of
Nelson
"Robert Southey had been living in his Cumberland home of Greta Hall for seven years by the time he received an inivitation from the editor of the Quarterly Review, William Gifford, to write an assessment of the principal biographies of Lord Nelson published since the Admiral's heroic death at Trafalgar in 1805. [...] Southey's 'Nelson' follows the fortunes of the Poet Laureate's Life of Nelson from 1813 to 1857 during which twenty-four books are examined in detail. Along the way we discover, for example, that some of these publications are not editions at all, but disguised remainders. We learn of the agreement reached between John Murray and Thomas Tegg and how that agreement was breached. We discover the tenuous relationships that existed between John Murray and his printers; how the latter were forever treading on eggshells in order to maintain their business ties with the most successful London bookseller of the early nineteenth century."--Provided by the publisher.

Horatia
Nelson
/ Winifred Gâerin.
A biography of Horatia Nelson Thompson (1801-1881), the daughter of Emma Hamilton and Horatio Nelson. To avoid scandal, she was baptized Horatia Nelson Thompson but the circumstances of her birth and parentage were the subject of speculation, confusion and subterfuge. Nelson referred to her as his adopted daughter and provided for her in his will but her mother's identity remained a closely guarded secret. After Nelson's death, Horatia continued to live with Emma Hamilton until the latter's death in Calais. Horatia returned to England where she lived with first one of Nelson's brothers-in-law, George Matcham and then another, Thomas Bolton. She married the Rev. Philip Ward in 1822 and had ten children. The appendices include a copy of Horatia's will, and family trees of the Bolton, Matcham and Ward families. A bibliography is provided.

Nelson
: love & fame /Edgar Vincent.
"The story of Horatio Nelson's life - his naval glory, public fame, charismatic leadership, scandalous romance, and untimely death as he led the British to victory at the Battle of Trafalgar - has ensured his enduring position as England's favourite hero. This engaging, full-length biography of Nelson (1758-1805) presents a gripping account of his climb to fame as well as the fascinating details of his personal and emotional life. A man of contradictions, Nelson emerges in this biography as a ruthless and aggressive leader, the epitome of a fighting commander; an ambitious attention-seeker capable of self-pity, self-delusion, and childish behaviour; yet to be admired for his transcendent courage, kindness and leadership skills, which inspired love and affection in those he led." "The author offers new interpretations of Nelson's victories to illustrate his grasp of today's concept of mission-command two centuries ahead of his time; his disobedience of his Commander-in-Chief's orders; and his part in the bloody and chaotic Neapolitan counter-revolution. Vincent also analyzes the motives and attitudes of key figures who surrounded him, among them Earl Spencer, Earl St. Vincent, Sir William Hamilton, and Thomas Troubridge. Interwoven with the events of Nelson's career is his emotional journey, his early infatuations, his courtship and marriage with Frances Nisbet, and his all-consuming affair with his mistress Lady Hamilton, one of the most celebrated beauties of the eighteenth century and the mother of his child."--BOOK JACKET.

Port
of
the dragon : the lost harbor
of
Sir Francis Drake /Laird L.
Nelson
.
"At times along our historical path important events get lost, witnesses die, fire consumes written accounts, or someone hides the truth. The 430-year-old mystery of where English privateer Francis Drake landed on the Northwest Coast of America involves a case of deceit: a cover-up took place from the start and was renewed again 200 years later. Preceded only by the fleet of Magellan, first to sail around the world, Drake covered more of the globe than Magellan when he turned his ships north in the Pacific and entered a hidden sea where no Chinese junks or Russian explorers had ever navigated before. In the late 16th century, Francis Drake made a daring and profitable three-year voyage around the world. He returned to England with a ship named the Golden Hind, loaded with stolen Spanish treasure. Elizabeth I knighted him for his rich accomplishment, but she seized all of his logs, and they were never seen again. All of his crew was sworn to secrecy under penalty of death, and she never allowed any publications of his voyage during her lifetime. But information did leak out."--Page [4] of cover.
