First Edition
First edition of "one of the main foundation stones of the Nelson legend" (White, p. 99); Lowndes notes that "1200 copies were subscribed for". Clarke and McArthur's book is fittingly handsome, being printed by Thomas Bensley, one of the best printers of the day, on superior quality paper. John McArthur, a former naval purser, had served with Nelson in the Mediterranean and had already begun collecting material for a biography when he saw "an advertisement in the papers announcing that the Nelson family had selected a gentleman 'of high respectability and rank' to write the life, and asking all who had letters. in their possession not to make their material available to anyone else." McArthur came forward, claiming, groundlessly, that Nelson himself had asked him to write his life, and that he had already incurred considerable expense in preparing the book, including the commissioning of a set of paintings to be engraved as illustrations. An unseemly squabble ensued, the outcome of which was fairly inevitable in that Earl Nelson was under pressure from the Prince Regent to commission his librarian and chaplain, James Stanier Clarke, to write the book. It was agreed that the authors would pool their efforts, but not before they had further fallen out over whose name should come first on the title page. That we do not refer to McArthur & Clarke is a lasting memorial to the usefulness of a powerful patron. The finished work is wonderfully illustrated with anecdotal headpieces and plates by Westall and battle-scenes by Nicholas Pocock. The subscribers list is a remarkable directory of the great and the good of Regency Britain with an inevitable emphasis on naval notables. William Beckford took the only copy on vellum, Sir Home Popham and Admiral Keats proof copies, as also admirals Cornwallis and Anson, Earl St Vincent, and Lady Hamilton. Thomas Masterman Hardy had an ordinary copy, as did the Sandwich Book Society and Leeds Circulating Library. With reference to the factual accuracy of the text Roger Knight, Nelson's highly acclaimed biographer, cautions that "Clarke and McArthur were responsible for creating more myths about Nelson than any other authors" (Knight p. 542). Cowie: 137 ; NMM, II, 921. Roger Knight, The Pursuit of Victory, Colin White, "Nelson Apotheosised, the creation of the Nelson Legend" in David Cannadine (ed.), Admiral Lord Nelson: Context and Legacy, (2005). Two volumes, quarto (340 x 280 mm). Contemporary deep red straight-grained morocco, neatly rebacked with the original spines laid down, new headbands, flat bands to spines, lettered gilt direct to spines, compartments with composite lozenges incorporating drawer handle tools, fleuron corner-pieces, wide grapevine rolled panels to the boards enclosing ruled and foliate panels in blind, dog-tooth edge-roll, all edges gilt, doubled dog-tooth roll to turn-ins, new pale greenish yellow endpapers, vivd red linen hinges. Frontispiece, 3 other plates and double-page pedigree to volume I, 7 plates to volume II, 4 of them accompanied by plans; headpieces, vignettes and facsimiles throughout the text. Old rubs, scuffs and stripping, recoloured, very neatly rebacked as described, the original spines a touch sunned, corners restored; text browned, foxing to and offsetting from the plates as often, but overall remains slightly better than a good set and not without presence.
