Softcover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0712667431 Hardback 1st Paperback Edition Nelson. A Dream of Glory. There have been numerous biographies of Nelson, but most fail to penetrate the mythology encrusting Britains greatest naval hero and none had been based upon a thorough overhaul of the original sources. The author has examined thousands of navel, military, diplomatic and personal documents, many unused be previous Nelson scholars. He has ruthlessly stripped away the legends and brilliantly reconstructed Nelson's private and public life. This book charts the period of Nelson's career most neglected by earlier writers - from childhood to his debut as a public hero, after the breathtaking vistory against the Spanish fleet at Cape St. Vincent, when he became an admiral and stood on the verge of international fame. Dealing with every facet of Nelson's crowded life - the man, the naval officer and the Georgian - the autho offers the only full account of Nelson's early voyages and the first complete analysis of the formative incidents in his career, including his conflict with civil and naval superiors in the West Indies, his campaigns in Corsica and his almost forgotten service as a commodore in the Mediterranean. Throughout there are revealing and sometimes startling discoveries about his relationships with his family, patrons, officers and men, and with his women.

BINDING/CONDITION: mustard color binding with brown cloth at the spine; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (9.5 inches tall) . Notes, bibliography, index. Map endpapers. Description: Includes two short sections of black and white plates, two maps and a few additional black and white illustrations. The publisher's blurb reads: ''To yachtsmen, the name 'Beaufort', signifies the international scale of wind forces. To cryptographers, it identifies a famous cipher. Yet these inventions only inadequately represent the tremendous accomplishments of one of the nineteenth century's most gifted and complex figures. For Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort's greatest achievements were the revitalization of the Hydrographic Office and the perfecting of the Admiralty Chart, a standard for accuracy from the 1830s to the present day. Some of his own surveys, made more than 160 years ago, are still the official authority. Portions of his 2000-odd letters and journals, never before published or even examined professionally, were written in cipher, which the author has succeeded in breaking. They disclose Beaufort's intense emotional conflicts and his many family problems. Deeply researched, this narrative of his life, personal and professional, is an absorbing account of a truly singular man, one of the most accomplished and important figures in the nineteenth-century Navy.'', Random House, 1977., 3<
