Side 184 - Amid all the pomp and circumstance of the war which for ten years to come desolated the Continent, amid all the tramping to and fro over Europe of the French armies and their auxiliary legions, there went on unceasingly that noiseless pressure upon the vitals of France, that compulsion...
Side 46 - I do not see the great risk of such a detachment, and with the remainder to attempt the business at Copenhagen. The measure may be thought bold, but I am of opinion the boldest measures are the safest ; and our Country demands a most vigorous exertion of her force, directed with judgment.
Side 46 - I look upon the Northern league to be like a tree, of which Paul was the trunk, and Sweden and Denmark the branches. If I can get at the trunk and hew it down, the branches fall of course, but I may lop the branches, and yet not be able to fell the tree, and my power must be weaker when its greatest strength is required. If we could have cut up the Russian fleet, that was my object.
Side 358 - We must not count with certainty on a continuance of our present prosperity during such an interval ; but unquestionably there never was a time in the history of this country, when, from the situation of Europe, we might more reasonably expect fifteen years of peace, than we may at the present moment.
Side 284 - ... that all the ports and places of France and her allies, or of any other country at war with his majesty, and all other ports or places in Europe, from which, although not at war with his majesty, the British flag is excluded, and all ports or places in the colonies belonging to his majesty's enemies, shall...
Side 49 - TO THE BROTHERS OF ENGLISHMEN, THE DANES. Lord Nelson has directions to spare Denmark, when no longer resisting ; but if the firing is continued on the part of Denmark, Lord Nelson will be obliged to set on fire all the Floating-batteries he has taken, without having the power of saving the brave Danes who have defended them.
Side 234 - November, 1793, we signified that they should stop and detain all ships laden with goods the produce of any colony belonging to France, or carrying provisions or other supplies for the use of any such colony...
Side 196 - He had made an end of the power of France upon the sea. Trafalgar was not only the greatest naval victory, it was the greatest and most momentous victory won either by land or by sea during the whole of the Revolutionary War. No victory, and no series of victories, of Napoleon produced the same effect upon Europe.
Side 289 - England had no army wherewith to meet Napoleon ; Napoleon had no navy to cope with that of his enemy. As in the case of an impregnable fortress, the only alternative for either of these contestants was to reduce the other by starvation.
Side 396 - So severe was the suffering and poverty caused by this isola" tion, that in the moment of his greatest triumph, immediately " after signing the peace of Campo Formio, which left Great "Britain without an ally, in October, 1797, Bonaparte wrote: " ' Either our government must destroy the English monarchy, or " ' must expect to be itself destroyed by the corruption and intrigue " ' of those active islanders. Let us concentrate all our activity " ' upon the navy and destroy England.
