Thus, gentlemen, the exculpation of Lord George's conduct, on the 29th of May, is sufficiently...
Seite 18 - ... country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory, and may no misconduct in any one tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British fleet! For myself individually, I commit my life to Him that made me; and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully!
