Nelson quotes

I wish to say Nelson confides that every man will do his duty.

- Horatio,Viscount Nelson Nelson
  Instructions to the flag officer on HMS  Victory, 21 Oct. The signal was amended to begin,'England expects†'.

   The death of Nelson was felt in England as something more than a public calamity; men started at the intelligence, and turned pale, as if they had heard of the loss of a dear friend.
