By John Francis Bacon. 



'• This is an able work, and it appears opportunely, for it makes the public well acquainted with what is 

 called the Spanish Question. " — Sunday Recietc. 



" This work is written by a gentltman who resided for six years in the heart of the insurgent districts, the 

 account given is frank and clear, and drawn entirely from personal observation. It gives much information 

 of an available kind to the general reader, that is not to be found to any of the numerous publications that 

 liave been generated by the unnatural war in Spain." — AtloM. 



'* This volume will well repay the perusal of any person interested in the present contest in Spain, and 

 wishing to arrive at the truth respecting it. The work is altogether one of the best we have met with on the 

 subject of the present Spanish war of succession." — Naval and Military Gasette. 



** To all who desire to receive ftirther information as to the cause, the present state, and the probable result 

 of the civil war in Spain, we can recommend this work. The writer resided long in the country — in Bilbao 

 — the very centre nf operations ; he was both observing and inquiring, and has collected togclher a vast many 

 facts, throwing light un the state of the Basque Provinces before the war, on the causes of the protracted 

 struggle, the endless failures of the Queen's Generals, &c." — Allienteum,

THE LIFE OF 



ADMIKAI. VISCOUNT EXMOUTa, 



DRA^'N UP FROM OFFICIAL AND OTHER AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTS 



SUPPLtED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 



By Edward Osler, Esct. 



This Memoir has been undertaken with the sanction of Lord Exmouth's elder 

 and only surviving Brother, whose recollections, and a correspondence which 

 extends over more than fifty years, iu which Lord Exmouth communicates his 

 views and motives without reserve, have supplied the chief materials for a 

 personal history. 



" Here is a valuable addition to our Naval Biography : a book not to be read by Englishmen without 

 pride of heart. The name of Eiunouth occupies an honourable place beside those of Nelson and Colling- 

 wood : his services were hardly less numerous or brilliant than theirs." — Athenaum. 



" This is a valuable memoir of an officer, whom this counlr>' will ever acknowledge as one of its most 

 brilliant heroes We have h.id to notice many valuable historical memoirs, but on no occasion have we had 

 more pleasure than in the examination of the one before us : the life of a man whose gallantry and talents woD 

 for him the respect and esteem of every officr in the British Navy," — Saral and Military Gtisette. 



'* This is the most admirably written and interesting naval memoir which has appeared since Tor Life of 

 Nelso\. It LS .1 book which no blue-jackot ought tn be without. It is rarely, indeed, that wc have met with 

 a naval meraoir from the pen of a landsman, which realizes so completely our notions of tlie qualifications 

 requisite in this class of writing, as the volume before us. Its style is simple, energetic, and often eloquent 

 and impressive." — United Service Gaselte, 



'* A book full of interesting anecdotes of a noble specimen of English character." — Timet. 



" This volume ought to rank among the first biographical works we possess of our great naval com- 

 manders." — Gentleman' t Magasine.

'' This volume forms a prolltable addition to that important class of works which now abound in our 

 language, whose aim is to improve the heart through the understanding, by making the discoveries of science 

 subservient to the great interest of religion. We particularly recommend this work as eminently calculated
