Description
Excerpt from The Nelsons of Burnham Thorpe: A Record of a Norfolk Family Compiled From Unpublished Letters and Notebooks, 1787 1842
Grouped round a private memoir of the Reverend Edmund Nelson and his youngest daughter, this record has been compiled almost exclusively from the manu scripts of one branch only among his descendants. It is therefore from his and their point of View that the rest of the family are seen and their actions commented upon.
Its publication is due to the suggestion that, in so far as it relates to the distinguished member among them, it supplies a slight link between those works dealing with the public career of Admiral Lord Nelson, and the many sensational memoirs which have focussed so much atten tion upon one phase only in the last years of his life, somewhat to the exclusion of the less obtrusive family circle and affections, which in?uenced his character from the first and absorbed so much of his interest to the end.
