Items related to Pictures from the Life of Nelson
Originally published in 1897, this work contains a wealth of information on the life and exploits of one of Britain's most famous military leaders. The following passage is taken from its preface: 'One page of graphic description is worth whole shelves of insipid narrative. This was my opinion when, in my "Life of Nelson" published by Messrs. Putnam's of New York, I quoted in full, as I quote in these pages, Lieutenant Parsons' picture of Nelson on board his ship when in chase of the " Genereux," one of the two line-of-battle ships which had escaped from the Niie. Captain Mahan has also, I observe, quoted in full this description, without, however, referring to his authority. One wants to know how they fought in Nelson's time. We can think of nothing but the ironclad and the torpedo in this age.'
