Let me add, that the refrain of the best song on the Battle of Trafalgar, gives the exact words of the signal:
"From line to line the signal ran,
England expects that every man
This day will do his duty."
You should have heard this chanted in the singing-days of
W. H. S.
Cooper's miniature, &c. (Vol. v. p. 17.).
—I have a painting on copper of Oliver Cromwell. It is oval, and about six inches by four. It resembles the engravings of him which have Cooper's name attached to them. In the distance is a "white horse," faintly sketched in. My father, in whose possession it long was, set a very great value upon it. I have not had sufficient opportunity to inquire—Did ever Cooper paint in oil?
