I could have wished to survive to breathe my last upon British ground, but the will of God be done.. In a few moments he expired!!! Thus fell one of the best and bravest Men that ever graced the British Annals. He had been engaged in 124 actions with the enemies of his country. He had lost an eye at Calvi, and an arm at Santa Cruz. This he regarded as nothing. His body and mind he held as devoted to his duty. His ardent courage was only equalled by his exalted piety. Cool, intrepid, and deliberate, it was his to foresee every danger and to meet with Peril, wherever it frowned with its darkest aspect. He was not more brave in the moment of conflict than he was compassionate when victory declared in his favour. The loss of such a man, and at such a time may well be considered as a national calamity. Also included is the "England expects" quote, back page, cols 1-2 -- 64cm. column space. Also: in a full column outlined in a heavy black border: The principal events which have distinguished the brilliant career of Lord Nelson ending with the public mood: When Wolfe fell the inhabitants of his native village refrained from illuminating for the capture of Quebec lest it should offend the grief of his mother. A similar feeling seemed last night to pervade this great metropolis, where every one grieves for Nelson., page 3, col 4 -- 44cm. of column space, in a complete issue of THE ENGLISH CHRONICLE (LONDON) dated 7 November 1805
