Description
Excerpt from History of the Mutiny at Spithead and the Nore: With an Enquiry Into Its Origin and Treatment, and Suggestions for the Prevention of Future Discontent in the Royal Navy
In the following pages I have had the unspeakable gratification of mentioning with well deserved eulogy a name I have ever considered as belonging to one of the most chivalrous and courageous men of his time and - although there may be found some points on which our opinions differ - I hope, therefore, you will forgive my inscribing to you this volume as a slight tribute to that undaunted love of justice and liberty which induced you to remain the fast friend of the unfortunate seamen at the Nore, when cowardice and corruption turned the host against them.
