LIFE OF LORD NELSON.—By the Reverend
J. S. CLARKE, and J. M'ARTHUR, Esq.—From the
uncommon intersmt excited by this National Work, and the nu-
merous inquiries made respecting it, the Editors feel it incumbent
on them to describe its Progress, and to state the circumstances
which have retarded its publication. The Paintings, consisting of
eleven, for the larger Plates, exclusive of those for the Vignettes,
fice. have been long since finished by Mr. West, Mr. Westall, and
Mr. Pocock : and the Engravings, by Messrs. Heath, Fittler,
Smith, Neagle, Raimbach, Golding, &c. are in so forward a
state, that the greater part of them will very shortly be submitted,
with the paintings, to the inspection of the Public.
Of. the literary part of the undertaking, a considerable portion
had been completely prepared—much is already printed, and Mr.
Beitslefs presses are again regularly employed upon it ; but amidst
the continual communication of new and important documents,
including a great number of the Noble Admiral's letters, derived
from the kindness of different officers returned front different
stations, who had enjoyed his friendship, and other authentic
sources, much care and attention became necessary to their proper
introduction, and frequent interruptions of the printing hive been
unavoidable. As, however, the most unremitting diligence conti-
nues to be exerted by the Editors, It is confidently hoped, that
the publication will take plate in the course of very few months,
probably in June next.
The Work will form one magnificent quarto volume, price
six guineas, or, with proof impressions, eight guineas. Orders
are received by Messrs. Cedeil and Davies, Strand, and Mr. Mil-
ler, Albemarle-street. An alphabetical List of Names, with the
data of orders (according to which the Copies will be faithfully
delivered,) will be printed and annexed to the Volume, and
books containing the orders already received, including a very
considerable proportion of the most distinguished names in the
United Kingdom, may now be seen at the Publishers, as above.
