Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Naval Actions of the War of 1812 The country that has no national heroes whose deeds should be found emblazoned on her annals, that can boast no men whose lives and conduct can be held up as examples of what loyalty, valor, and courage should be, that country has no patriotism, no heart, no soul. If it be wrong to tell of a glorious past, for fear of keeping alive an animosity that should have perished with time, there have been many offenders; and the author of the following pages thus writes himself down as one of them. Truly, if pride in the past be a safeguard for the future in forming a national spirit, America should rejoice. There exists no Englishman to-day whose heart is not moved at the word "Trafalgar," or whose feelings are not stirred by the sentence "England expects every man to do his duty." The slight, one-armed figure of Admiral Nelson has been before the Briton´s eyes as boy and man, surrounded always with the glamour that will never cease to enshroud a nation´s hero.
