Trafalgar 200 : Nelson and the Battle of Trafalgar commemorated in coins and medallions /Thomas A. "On 21 October every year, on British Naval ships and bases throughout the world, the toast 'To the Immortal Memory' has been and will continue to be given. It will be drunk in silence, and seated. Such is the tradition that keeps alive the memory of one of the England's greatest heroes, Vice-Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. Dying in his hour of victory at the battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, his name will live forever in the annals of British naval history. The outpourings of grief at his death, and seen at his State funeral and burial in St Paul's Cathedral, London, were such as had never been seen before, or since. Endless souvenirs, mementoes of all kinds, in all sorts of materials, were produced then and throughout the following years. Most lasting of them were the many commemorative medallions in gold, silver, bronze and other metals produced from 1805 onwards, especially for the centenary in 1905, and the bi-centenary of the battle in 2005. These were treated in the companion volume Remember Nelson (Spink, 2005). This book continues in recording those medallions, coins and other relevant items that were produced after 2005, and it also incorporates an Appendix that includes relevant items that have been recorded since the original publication. It also includes much interesting historical detail relating to the items and the occasion of their production."--Provided by the publisher. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 737.1/.2(23):92NELSON

Nelson's surgeon : William Beatty, naval medicine, and the battle of Trafalgar /Laurence Brocklis, John A biography of William Beatty (1773-1842), chief surgeon on Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship the Victory at the time of Nelson's death. During the course of one afternoon during the Battle of Trafalgar, Beatty had treated 100 of the 820 crew, witnessed the death of his closest friend (Lieutenant William Andrew Ram) and nursed the dying Nelson. Aged 32, this was the first major action in which he had served and in 1807 he published his Authentic Narrative of the Death of Lord Nelson. After Trafalgar, Beatty continued to have a distinguished career in the naval medical service, eventually becoming physician to the Greenwich Hospital, an FRS, a Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons, and was knighted in 1831. As well as the biographical content, the authors describe the context and role of naval surgeons in the nineteenth century, their education, training and work, and also details of the conditions on board. A partial family tree of the Beatty family is included with the illustrations and diagrams, and there is a detailed bibliography. 2005. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 92BEATTY

I, Horatio : a novel of historical fiction /Donald A. Tortorice. The story "begins with Nelson as a young 21-year-old captain in the Caribbean and goes to his death at the Battle of Trafalgar. Along the way his experiences in carrying out the vision of his duty in the Caribbean, Corsica, Tenerife, the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar cost him his eye, his right arm, and ultimately his life, all because he was blessed and cursed with a nature that was blind to the spectre of failure and deaf to anything other than the call of duty, the clamour of battle, and victory."--Page 4 of cover. 2014. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 820-3:92NELSON

In defence of Emma : 'scheming adventuress' or 'radiant presence'? /Sylvia K. Robinson. "Emma, Lady Hamilton, the subject of this new and important biography, has been roundly maligned in previous biographies and repeatedly criticised in the many biographies of her husband, Sir William Hamilton and those of Admiral Lord Nelson, her lover. The aim of the long overdue re-assessment of her life is to defend her reputation against the unwarranted and unsubstantiated allegations commonly made against her. She is most often portrayed as 'infamous' and 'notorious'. However, it is universally acknowledged that she was one of the most beautiful women in Europe at the time. Her absorbing, enthralling and ultimately tragic story is told here in her own words through the prolifics correspondence exchanged between her and the significant people in her life, most especially Hamilton and Nelson. Few authors give Emma credit for her achievements. Born into inauspicious circumstances, she yet mastered several languages, rose to acclaimed success in singing and acting, became and valued friend and confidante of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples, and played and politically pivotal role in those desperate years during which Napoleon attempted to conquer Europe. This meticulously researched narrative is a penetrating study of Emma's life and influence. The story unfolds through an extensive and impartial examination of the letters, wills, bank accounts and further extant documentation. Particular attention is paid to the financial details that reveal the full extent of Emma's tragic end. The author presents an intriguing new approach to Emma's legacy, successfully defending her against her dishonourable and undeserved reputation."--Inside cover 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92HAMILTON, EMMA
