This Volume contains the Dispatches and Letters of Nelson from the beginning of the year 1795 to the end of the year 1797. They relate principally to Admiral Hotham's Actions with the French Fleet on the 13th and 14th of March, and 13th of July 1795; to his proceedings when in command of a small Squadron on the Coast of Genoa, acting in co-operation with the Austrian General de Vins; to the Blockade of Leghorn; to the Capture of Porto Ferrajo in July, and of the Island of Capraja in September 1796; to the Evacuation of Corsica; to the Action with, and Capture of, a Spanish Frigate in December of that year; to the Battle of St. Vincent in February, the bombardment of Cadiz, and engagement with the Spanish Gun-boats, and to the unsuccessful attack on Santa Cruz in Teneriffe, in July 1797, where he lost his right arm. Some of the events described in these Letters are among the most brilliant and interesting of his Life.
