Читать книгу Southey on Nelson: The Life of Nelson by Robert Southey - Richard Holmes - Страница 16

In attempting such a work I shall write the eulogy of our great Naval Hero; for the best eulogy of NELSON is the faithful history of his actions; the best history, that which shall relate them most perspicuously.
