In the extensive collection of literature relating to Norfolk and Norwich,
which forms an exceedingly valuable part of the Reference Department of the
Norwich Public Library, is a large collection of books and pamphlets relating to
Lord Nelson, Norfolk's most illustrious seaman. The following annotated and
classified list of all the items in the collection or in the general library relating to
Nelson (comprising 218 books, 39 pamphlets, 8r articles in periodicals and
composite works, and 31 prints) will also serve as a select Nelson Bibliography,
as it includes, with very few exceptions, all the important English books on
Nelson. It contains several items published before Sir J. K. Laughton's
bibliography, but not included therein. For the titles of important foreign
books on Nelson, readers are referred to the excellent annotated bibliography
appended to Sir J. K. Laughton's The Nelson Memorial, 1892, which has been of
much assistance in the annotation of the present catalogue.

The entries of books published without a date have the abbreviation n.d.
(= no date) after the titles, but wherever possible the date of publication has
been added in square brackets. The absence of the name of the place of publica-
tion means that the book was published in London.

In the present catalogue only a few of the numerous magazine articles on
Nelson have been included. Readers desirous of making an exhaustive study of
the articles in periodical pu^ications may obtain references to a great number of
them by consulting the indices cited in the " Bibliography " section of this
catalogue.

A reproduction of the Nelson portrait drawn by John Whichelo is given in
No. I of Vol. 4 of the " READERS' GUIDE," which also contains a brief
biographical sketch of Nelson.

NELSON'S IVRITINGS.

Nelson, Horatio, Viscount. The dispatches and letters of Vice Admiral Lord
Viscount Nelson ; with notes by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas. 7 v. Port.,
plans. 1844-46.

This invaluable collection of correspondence and other documents, public and private, covers
the period 1777-1805. Sir J, K. Laughton (in Did. of Nat. Biog., vol.40, 1894) regards it as *" the
only work treating of Nelson's professional career which is to be implicitly trusted." Reviewed
in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, vol. 56, 1844, pp. 775-785. On these letters is based
E. Hallam Moorhouse's article " Nelson as seen in his Letters," in The Fortnightly Reviexv,
vol. 110, new series, 1911, pp. m-Tn.

— Letters and despatches of Horatio, Viscount Nelson, K.B. ; selected and
arranged by John Knox Laughton. pp. xx., 456. 1886.

A selection, chiefliy from the seven volumes edited by Sir N. H. Nicolas, with a few addi-
tions, " made with the view of bringing within a moderate compass Nelson's own exposition of
his professional life." Reviewed in The Edinburgh Review, vol. 164, pp. 542-575. 1886.

— The Letters of Lord Nelson to Lady Hamilton ; with a supplement of interest-
ing letters by distinguished characters. 2 v. 18 14.

" This work probably owed its existence to the distresses of the unfortunate woman to
whom the Letters were addressed ; and its appearance was justly and emphatically denounced
in the " Edinburgh Review" [vol. 23, 1814, pp. 398-410], Such parts of those letters as are un-
objectionable will be found in this collection,"— Sir N. H. Nicolas (in 1844),

— Nelson's words and deeds : a selection from the dispatches and correspondence
of Horatio Nelson ; ed. by W. Clark Russell, pp. vii., 224. 1890.

The object of the book is " to submit the character and the more conspicuous of the features
of the career of Horatio Nelson as they are described by his own pen," Most of the extracts
are made from Nelson's unofficial letters.

— Letters of Lord Nelson to Sir Thomas Troubridge. In Mrs. Herbert Jones'
" Some Norfolk worthies," pp. 13-49. Port. 1899.

Reprinted from The Century Magazine, November, 1888. The letters treat exclusively of
the expedition to the Baltic, and they range from March until May, 1801.

" He has endeavoured, by a crude and miscellaneous compilation of paragraphs from other

writers, to patch together something that may pass for a life of the hero ; but the statement

that his life 'told by himself, his comrades, and his friends,' is as inaccurate as the general

effect of the whole."— T/ie Athenceum, Dec. 20th, 1890, pp. 847-848.

Cai^IvEnder, Geoffrey. The life of Nelson, pp. xxxviii., 154. Maps, ports., tllus.

of various events related in the memoirs of his life," and " Ceremonial for the public funeral of
the late Vice-Admiral Horatio Viscount Nelson." Captain Locker, the author's friend, supplied
information regarding Nelson's early life, and many letters from Nelson to Captain Locker.

volumes edited by Sir N. H. Nicolas.

Sir J. K. Laughton in 1896 (The Nelson Memorial) regarded the work as " the fullest and in

many respects the best biography, but crowded with irrelevant and doubtful matter." Based

on an extensive collection of letters and documents lent to the authors by various persons.

has been misjudged. The present short sketch consists chiefly of quotations from Nelson's
