THE LIFE OF NELSO N. BY ROBERT SOUTHEY, ESQ., L.L.D., POET LAUREATE, ETC., ETC. NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS. 1862. UVOSIT OF CALIFORNIA LITARY Mary lives of Nelson nave been written; ono 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, I shali write the eulogy of our great naval hero ; for the best galogy of Nelson is the faithful history of his actions and the best history inust be that which shall roiute them most perspicuously.
