on the very anniversary of Trafalgar.
"Nelson's nobleness of mind was a prominent and beautiful part of
his character. His foibles - faults if you like - will never be
dwelt upon in any memorandum of mine," he declares, and goes on -
"he whose splendid and matchless achievements will be remembered
with admiration while there is gratitude in the hearts of Britons,
or while a ship floats upon the ocean; he whose example on the
breaking out of the war gave so chivalrous an impulse to the
younger men of the service that all rushed into rivalry of daring
which disdained every warning of prudence, and led to acts of
heroic enterprise which tended greatly to exalt the glory of our
nation."
These are his words, and they are true. The dashing young frigate
captain, the man who in middle age was nothing loth to give chase
single-handed in his seventy-four to a whole fleet, the man of
enterprise and consummate judgment, the old Admiral of the Fleet,
the good and trusted servant of his country under two kings and a
queen, had felt correctly Nelson's influence, and expressed himself
with precision out of the fulness of his seaman's heart.
"Exalted," he wrote, not "augmented." Andyilai:
