Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K. C. B, Vol. 1 of 2: From Personal Recollections, Letters, and Official Documents I undertook to write the Life and to edit. The Correspondence of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, as it appeared to me that events and actions, ex tending over more than sixty years passed in the service of his sovereign and his country, could not fail to be interesting to the public. Respect to the Admiral's memory, and an ardent desire to do justice to his services, combined with a deep sense of gratitude for the many kindnesses expe rienced at his hands from my earliest years, were also the motives that induced me to contribute my best efforts towards commemorating the achieve ments of a long and brilliant career.
