vii 페이지 - Yet these failures, however frequent, may admit extenuation and apology. To have attempted much is always laudable, even when the enterprise is above the strength that undertakes it; to rest below his own aim is incident to every one whose fancy is active, and whose views are comprehensive; nor is any man satisfied with himself because he has done much, but because he can conceive little.
457 페이지 - I made the signal for every ship to bear down, and steer for her opposite in the enemy's line, agreeable to the 21st article of the additional fighting instructions.
535 페이지 - Had I had the honour of commanding his Majesty's noble fleet on the 12th, I may, without much imputation of vanity, say the flag of England should now have graced the sterns of upwards of twenty sail of the enemy's ships of the line.
21 페이지 - Low company is the bane of all young men ; but in a man-of-war you have the collected filths of jails. Condemned criminals have the alternative of hanging, or entering on board. There's not a vice rommitted on shore but is practised here.

537 페이지 - I lamented to Sir George on the 13th that the signal for a general chase was not made when that for the line was hauled down, and that he did not continue to pursue, so as to keep sight of the enemy all night, to which he only answered, " Come, we have done very handsomely as it is.
499 페이지 - ... to push on to the support of the van, instead of engaging at such an improper distance (the London having her main topsail to the mast the whole time she was firing with the signal for the line at half a cable flying), that the second ship astern of the London received but trifling damage, and the third astern of her (the London) received no damage at all, which most clearly proves how much too great the distance was the centre division engaged.

His personal gallantry was conspicuous there as at all times of his life.
357 페이지 - We now," he says in his despatch to Mr. Stephens, * thought it an enterprise worthy of an English ship of the line in our King and Country's sacred cause, and an effort due to the gallant defence of {Quebec, to make the attempt of pressing her by force of sail through the thick, broad, and closely connected fields of ice (as formidable as the Gulf of St. Lawrence ever exhibited), to which we saw no bounds.
