Nelson's Dear Lord

Evelyn Berckman

4.9/5 (22643 ratings)

Description:Sir John Jervis, Admiral of the Fleet, first Earl of St. Vincent, was one of the more remarkable characters of an era that did not lack giants. Perhaps because of the competition of other greater names, particularly the legendary name of Nelson, St. Vincent has been unduly neglected. In many previous accounts he appears as a dusty and even rather repellent figure, but in this new evaluation of his life and major achievements, Miss Berckman shows him to have been a delightful man, alive, humane and generous-hearted. In every instance the author has turned to original sources, especially Jervis's own correspondence and dispatch-books, much of which has remained unexamined until her researches. Avoiding the inevitable patches of dullness of a comprehensive and chronological biography, Miss Berckman has portrayed his life in highlights, vividly presenting those scenes and aspects which are important in assessing his achievements and making them come alive to the present-day reader. From the book emerges a fascinating portrait of the man who did more than any other to reform the Navy into a modern fighting service and whose career culminated with his meeting with Nelson and their joint struggles and triumphs. -- Dust jacket.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
