An important 'Nelson' study containing 246 surviving letters from Admiral Nelson to his wife published here in full for the first time. The letters cover the period from 1785 when the young Captain of HMS BOREAS fell in love and married Frances Herbert Nisbet on the island of Nevis, to their unfortunate and bitter parting in London in 1800. They continue on to Nelson's death five years later at Trafalgar, and end with Lady Nelson's death in 1831. After the breakdown of their marriage and the loss of her husband to Lady Hamilton, Frances retained her dignity and love for her husband, carefully treasuring up his letters that remained in her family until they where purchased by Lady Llangattock around the turn of the last century. Clarke and M'Arthur published extracts equal to about one-third in 1809, but in the main, together with Lady Nelson's letters to her husband, they remained unpublished until the appearance of this study on the 200th anniversary of Nelson's birth.
