Life of Nelson
Robert Southey (Author)
As Southey states in this two-volume 1813 work, his account is intended to be 'clear and concise enough to become a manual for the young sailor'. Volume 1 covers the period up to the battle of the Nile, and Volume 2 subsequent events until Nelson's death in 1805.
