Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Neapolitan Jacobins: Documents Relating to the Suppression of the Jacobin Revolution at Naples, June, 1799 The only serious imputations which have ever been made against Nelson´s conduct in a public capacity are those which are associated with the part played by him in the suppression of the Jacobin rising at Naples in 1799, and to which Southey unfortunately gave currency throughout the English-speaking world in a book which, by reason of the brilliancy of its style and the power of its narrative, has taken the foremost place in popular estimation among the biographies of our great naval hero. Nelson is arraigned by his accusers on three indictments. He is first of all charged with having acted ultra vires in setting aside a capitulation which had not only been duly concluded, but had also in part been executed. In the second place he is accused of resorting to fraud and treachery for the purpose of procuring the evacuation of the castles of Naples by the rebel garrisons.
