Heads up: The book "The Death of Lord Nelson' written by the surgeon who ministered to him, William Beatty, is available for download in mp3 form here:
http://librivox.org/the-death-of-lord-n ... beatty-md/
Great stuff to load onto one's mp3 player while riding the public transit, or just out for a walk!

Thanks Billy Ruffian for the pointer and the recommendation. I'd noticed it advertised on ebay from 99 cents to up to $9.99. Your source is much better value! And welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, Ruffian, (or may I call you Billy?)

Interesting info: and Dr A-M. T. Hills who wrote 'Nelson: a medical Casebook' makes a thorough analysis of Beatty's account, with some very pertinent criticisms too.

Digression: Dr Beatty was also a poet. He was very moved by his visit to Emma Hamilton's grave in Calais and comemmorated it in verse.

Thanks for the kind greetings. Yes, you may call me Billy, or Billy Ruffian, or Billy Rough'n.' -most sea-dogs have a difficult time pronouncing Bellerophon ;-)
