Some Titles referring to Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson
See also: our fiction page for Hornblower, Ramage, Aubrey Maturin, etc, as the following list only contains non-fiction titles. Note also that books that have references to Nelson, HMS VICTORY, and the Napoleonic Wars - sometimes quite extensive - but are not solely dedicated to this subject matter, are not mentioned in this list (examples include our complete forty volume set of "The Naval Chronicles", 1799-1819, and Campbell's "Lives of the British Admirals" of which we have the first four volume edition, 1779, and the second eight volume edition, 1812-1817.)
