Other Properties

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR/DEATH OF NELSON
Such a battle could not be fought without sustaining a great loss of men. I have not only to lament in common with the British Navy, and the British Nation, in the fall of the Commander in Chief, the loss of a Hero, whose name will be immortal...
an excellent and lengthy account penned by Vice Admiral Collingwood from the Euryalus, reporting on the details of the Naval Action off Cape Trafalgar, as reported to the Admiralty Office, and including the death by musket ball of Vice Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson (Back page, Columns 1-3, 44in. of column space) all in a complete and genuine issue of THE BOSTON GAZETTE, dated December 23rd, 1805; together with The dreadful slaughter on board, and the shattered condition of all the captured ships, whilst it shews with what obstinacy the enemy in general fought, is a convincing proof of the decided superiority our seamen possess over the enemy in close action… Further particulars of the Battle of Trafalgar as reported from The Gibraltar Chronicle, incorporating the British and Spanish accounts of the action., including the lists of killed and wounded, and fate of the Spanish and French ships. (Page 1, Columns 1-5, and Page 2, Columns 1-2, 65" of Column Space) all in a complete and genuine issue of THE COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, dated January 22nd, 1806.
