Moore, Thomas, 1779-1852.
Memoirs, journal and correspondence; ed. by Lord John
Russell. 8v. 1853-56
rg2 M87gm
The principal authority for Moore's life. It consists of an unfinished
autobiography, extending to 1799, journals from 1818 to 1847, and
about 400 letters filling up the gap. The lack of an accompanying
narrative is much felt, but the work is nevertheless the indispensable
foundation of all the later biographies. Condensed from Dictionary
of national biography.

is given.

Clarke, James Stanier, & McArthur, John, 1755-1840. Life
and services of Horatio, viscount Nelson; from his
lordship's manuscripts. 3v. [1840.] g2 N222C
Memoirs of Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy and of Lord Cuthbert
Collingwood, v.3. p.213-394.
"The fullest, and in many respects the best biography [of Nelson]. It
is largely based on original documents and letters entrusted to the
authors—many of which have never been seen since—but it is
crowded with childish and irrelevant stories, resting on hearsay or
tradition, and very probably not true." Dictionary of national biography.
Parsons, George Samuel. Nelsonian reminiscences, leaves
from memory's log; ed. with notes by W. H. Long.
1905 g2 N222P
The strictly Nelsonian part of the reminiscences is confined to the

rest of the book consists of some naval experiences of the author,
an officer in the English navy.
