In this Volume the Collection of Lord Nelson's Letters is completed, and such a variety of matter has been inserted, that it is the more necessary to give a particular account of the contents.
The Letters extend from the 1st of August 1805, (when Lord Nelson was on his way to Ushant, after his return from the West Indies in pursuit of the French Fleet) until the 21st of October, the day of his glorious death. On the 15th of August he joined the Channel Fleet under Admiral Cornwallis, with whom he left all his own Squadron except the Victory and Superb, and proceeded with these Ships to England. He arrived at Spithead on the 18th of August; the next day he struck his Flag, and then went to Merton.
