ADMIRAL NAPIER’S
ACCOUNT OF THE WAR IN PORTUGAL,
BETWEEN
DON PEDRO AND DON MIGUEL;
WITH
PLAN OF HIS ACTIONS OFF CAPE ST. VINCENT.
“An excellent and spirit-stirring book—plain, honest, and straight-forward—the very stuff of which the web of history alone should be composed. This is indeed an honest, fair, and impartial history.”—Morning Chronicle.
“In spirit and in keeping, from beginning to end, Admiral Napier’s ‘War in Portugal,’ is the happiest picture we could conceive of the hero of the battle off Cape St. Vincent—its especial excellence consisting in a regardless bluntness of manner and language that is quite admirable and delightful.”—Monthly Review.
