"AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE
of
THE DEATH OF LORD NELSON
With the Circumstances preceding, attending, and Subsequent to that Event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE
PROFESSIONAL REPORT ON HIS LORDSHIP'S WOUND.
And interesting Anecdotes.
by
WILLIAM BEATTY M.D.
(Surgeon to the Victory in the battle of Trafalgar, and now Physician to the Fleet under the Command of the Earl of St. Vincent.)
~~~~~~~~~~~
1807 First Edition.
Printed by T Davison for T Cadell and W Davies.
1807
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beatty was the Surgeon who attended Nelson, and performed the Autopsy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slim 8vo. original paper covered boards, with more recent matching canvas spine. Minor judicious professional restoration has been carried out in more recent times.
Rubbed edges as to be expected, 90pp. including Appendix containing Instructions issued by Lord Nelsonto The Admirals and Captains of his Fleet, several days before the Battle.
Two plates including engraved portrait frontis of Nelson and engraving of the Representation of the Ball.
All as called for.
Frontis mildly foxed, as is usual, the 'Ball' plate beautifully clean as are the pages throughout.
On the front cover, most certainly contemporary, is the signature, as far as I can make out, is Frank B Hardy.
I have researched the name, and it may be coincidental being the surname of Captain Hardy! as I can discover no connection.
A really attractive copy, exceedingly scarce."
Gibt es aber mittlerweile billiger mittlerweile als PDF.

Die hunderttausendmal erzählten Geschichten von Nelsons letzten Stunden sind hier im Original wiedergegeben, natürlich aus Beattys Sicht, den armen H. verklärend und somit für mich persönlich uninteressant. Höchst interessant sind hingegen seine Berichte zu Gesundheit- und Krankenständen, den Mastreifen und vielen anderen Kleinigkeiten an Bord des Schiffes.
