Download or read book Letters of Admiral of the Fleet the Earl of St Vincent written by David Bonner Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes present letters and other documents of St Vincent's period as First Lord of the Admiralty, the most controversial and politically-heated of any during the time of the sailing navy. They are taken from his out-letter books, and do not include the replies. Unusually for Society volumes, the editor selected only a part of each letter for publication, but such severe editing does not entirely muffle the Earl's spiky and forceful turn of phrase. This volume covers the first year of St Vincent's time at the Admiralty, 1801.

Download or read book Nelson s Dear Lord written by Evelyn Berckman and published by London : Macmillan. This book was released on 1962 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Jervis, Admiral of the Fleet, first Earl of St. Vincent, was one of the more remarkable characters of an era that did not lack giants. Perhaps because of the competition of other greater names, particularly the legendary name of Nelson, St. Vincent has been unduly neglected. In many previous accounts he appears as a dusty and even rather repellent figure, but in this new evaluation of his life and major achievements, Miss Berckman shows him to have been a delightful man, alive, humane and generous-hearted. In every instance the author has turned to original sources, especially Jervis's own correspondence and dispatch-books, much of which has remained unexamined until her researches. Avoiding the inevitable patches of dullness of a comprehensive and chronological biography, Miss Berckman has portrayed his life in highlights, vividly presenting those scenes and aspects which are important in assessing his achievements and making them come alive to the present-day reader. From the book emerges a fascinating portrait of the man who did more than any other to reform the Navy into a modern fighting service and whose career culminated with his meeting with Nelson and their joint struggles and triumphs. -- Dust jacket.
Download or read book The Life of George Lord Anson written by John Barrow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of George Lord Anson: Admiral of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral of Great Britain, and First Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty, Previous to and During, the Seven-Years' War In this kind of feeling Howe and St. Vincent parti cipated. The former never talked of the glorious lst of June, nor did the latter of the 14th of Feb ruary it is said indeed he always discouraged that topic being brought into conversation. I think it was Lord St. Vincent who once made the observation, that it was that man only who had performed one little exploit who was for ever talking about it. But if the Life of Anson affords not scope for recording many brilliant deeds of his own, he had the great merit of preparing fleets, selecting, appoint ing and making officers to command them, by which and by whom the British navy was never more tri umphant, nor that of France more humbled and reduced, than in the seven-years' far, when Anson may be said to have had the whole direction of the naval department. No one ever formed a juster esti mate of naval characters and it is worthy of remark that the officers who served under him, in his cele brated voyage, were those who highly distinguished themselves in the said war Saunders, Keppel, Brett, Denis.

Download or read book Admiral Lord St Vincent Saint or Tyrant written by James D.G. Davidson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2006-09-18 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of John Jervis, who became Admiral Lord Vincent, makes compelling reading. It throws an oblique light on Nelsons personality. St Vincent, who was born twenty-three years before Nelson, and survived for eighteen years after Trafalgar, fundamentally influenced the younger mans career despite the two men being diametrically different characters. Yet without him, Nelsons genius might have been submerged by professional jealousy or emotional fragility.It was St Vincents strategy and preparation which positioned Nelson to win his three famous victories, but St Vincent himself made vital contributions not only to the defeat of Napoleon but to the well-being of the Royal Navy. Before he became First Lord of the Admiralty, the Navy had been severely weakened by corruption in the dockyards, nepotism in appointments and the appalling conditions under which the seamen lived and worked.St Vincent deserves the profound gratitude of the Nation; not only for enabling Nelson to exercise his tactical brilliance, but also for the role he played in preventing Napoleon from invading the British Isles.
