Book excerpt: Includes 12 illustrations The name of Horatio Nelson still rings across the United Kingdom, and further afield, as a great and gallant naval hero worthy of remembrance through the ages, his statue still stands atop a lofty column in one of the busiest squares in the world. However Nelson was only one of many heroes that fought the French Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, without whom the outcome may have been very different. Never seeking the public acclaim craved by his close friend and comrade Horatio Nelson, Cuthbert Collingwood was one such hero who stood with the great Admiral from the Nile to the former’s death at the Battle of Trafalgar. Brave, determined, a great friend to the sailor’s under his command, Collingwood was instrumental in defeating the French and he took command of the British Fleet after Trafalgar. Almost never ashore, his constant battles with the French along with exhausting blockade duties drove him into an early grave in 1810. In this excellent biography, penned by noted naval author William Clark Russell the full scope of the exploits, adventures and victories of Admiral Collingwood are recounted in vivid detail.

Figure seventy or eighty sail of ships: many of them heavy, lumbering, round-bowed old merchantmen, so shaped in beam and length that they might have been built by the league and sawed off as customers required them. A dozen ships at a time would be lagging; the naval officer in command would signal them--but to no purpose: the sour old merchant skipper, wrapped up in pilotcloth, eyed the epaulet askant, and sulkily went to work to give as much trouble as possible. Meanwhile there was not only an enemy's fleet to be feared, but swarms of privateersmen who hovered on the skirts of the slow-sailing commercial craft, cutting off one after another in the dead of night, and often in the full glare of day, yet with such agility, with such skilful ocean hotham'S action with the french. 47 manoeuvring, as to keep the naval officer sweeping the sea-line with a telescope at his eye in perplexity, until the sadden staggering away of the captured vessel on an easy bowline left him in no doubt as to what had happened. Having filled his fresh-water casks at St. Fiorenzo, at which place the Excellent had arrived on the 23rd August, 1795, Collingwood sailed for Leghorn on the 27th, and joined the fleet under Admiral Hotham. In a letter to Sir Edward Blackett, dated at this port, he thus refers to the...

Book excerpt: "So here for you is the tale of my latest solitary ramble. The journey covers, as you shall see, some two hundred odd miles, through five southern counties, and was conceived on an unusual plan. For I went neither on foot, nor by any of the wonted means of conveyance beloved of tourists; neither by motor, nor cycle, phaeton nor ambling nag. Moreover, I kept clear of the main roads, and, with two exceptions, the great towns; shunned nearly all the guide-book points of interest; sought out the least frequented lanes and by-paths; and found my history in the happy places that have no history, other than that writ large over their moss-green roofs and lichened walls - the English villages, which - as I look back on the long white road of the journey - lie in the memory now like pearls on a silver string." --Take from dedication.
