Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Collingwood What may be termed the "ocean-seclusion" of Lord Collingwood lasted so many years that there is probably no man of his, or any other time, who rose to eminence and filled a great public position, of whom less is known; or, as I should prefer to say, about whom less has been written. His contemporaries seldom refer to him. Here and there in the biography of an officer who served under him may be found some dry, insipid, official letters communicating the proceedings of the ship; but there are no "asides," so to speak, nothing of that sort of gossip which furnishes to a writer a basis for a theory of character, or which helps him as a glancing of light over a canvas on which the painted lineaments lie hidden in darkness or in dust. The only account of Collingwood with which I am acquainted, that aims at any sort of fullness, is the memoir of him written by his son-in-law, G. L. Newnham Collingwood.
