Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selection From the Public and Private Correspondence of Vice-Admiral Lord Collingwood: Interspersed With Memoirs of His Life Sir, The permission which Your Royal Highness has been graciously pleased to give me, to insert in this Volume Your Royal Highness´ Letters to Lord Collingwood, demands from me the most public acknowledgment of my gratitude: and as there is no one to whom a Work containing the Memoirs of an eminent Naval Officer can be so properly dedicated as to Your Royal Highness, I venture to inscribe it to Your Royal Highness, and respectfully to solicit for it your countenance and protection. Your Royal Highness was pleased to distinguish Lord Collingwood by your friendship, although he never had the honour of being personally presented to you: but many of his friends remember how he used to repeat what he had heard from Lord Nelson and Captain Wilfred Collingwood, that no Ship in the English Navy was ever conducted in a more able and Officer-like manner than that which Your Royal Highness commanded; and how often he expressed his concern that more frequent opportunities had not been afforded for the display of Your Royal Highness´ activity and talent.
