LORD NELSON. The LIFE of NELSON. By Robert Southey ; beautifully printed in Two Volumes, small 8vo, with a Portrait. Price 10s. A few Copies are printed in post 8vo, price 15s. Many Lives of Nelson have been written: one is yet wanting, clear and concise enough to become a Manual for the young Sailor, which he may carry about with him till he has treasured up the example in his memory and in his heart. In attempting such a work, the author proposes to himself to write the eulogy of our great naval Hero; for the best eulogy of Nelson is the faithful history of his actions; the best history is that which shall relate them most perspicuously.
