TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEAR.

Sir—The national regard fhewn to the memory
Lnrd NeLsoN is certainly very proper; and as we
re told his remains are to be interred in St. Paul's
,athcdral, it is to be fuppofcd that a monument will
put up there. I remember that after the death
the great FREDERICK King of Profile, a reward
ts offered to whoever compofed the bell encomium,
be placed upon his monument : many were offered,
fine of which was univetfally admired; only con
ining one short line; viz. " Etc Cuseres—ulPique
',27,--7." More, I think, could not be faid for the

innour of the deceafed, at the fame time it did not

found the living, or the cortneetions of the dead, by
comparifon; it is certainly improper and unjult
• cAll any man the greateft, or belt. I admire the
ill and courage of Lord NsLsoN, as they deferve,
try highly indeed. I have jolt as gold opinions of
thofe by whom the Spaniil Armada was defeated in
the tfith century, of thole who alike diftinguillted
themfelvesagainft the Dutch and French in the 17th
century, and of dude who were as eminent in their
vittories in the 18th; it is needles to enumerate the
names of thofe Heroes ; the page of hiaory duly re-
irds them; let us then thew our regard for Lord
etson as he would have wilhed ; I am confident

C would have difapproved any cornparifons to the
difadvantage of thofe who have gone before him, and
am fully of opinion that we have many Officers
Alt living, both able and willing to exert themfelves
fuccefsfully in the defence, and for the honour (4.
their King and Country, as he did. and I truft we
OA never want fuck. I am, Sir, &c. MSNTOII.•
