Articles 'Collingwood and Nelson' by Oliver Warner (taken from History Today 1966), pp. 318-326 'Southey's Life of Nelson' by Carola Oman, pp.327-332 Reviews Review of Richard Hill's The Prizes of War, The Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth, by 'L.H.', pp. 338-339 Questions and Answers The correspondence continues on the subject of whether Napoleon tried to join the Royal Navy, with the startling contention that Napoleon lodged briefly in London, as noted by Mrs Markham in her History of France for the Use of Young Persons, 1838 (frequently reprinted until 1869). We are assured that the story is completely apochryphal. For subscription details to The Nelson Dispatch, visit the page http://www.nelson-society.org.uk/html/the_society.htm
