Publication: Westport & London, Meckler, 1990

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 191.

Catalogue Note: Near Fine. The publisher’s original navy blue cloth binding is remarkably sharp and tight, with unoxidised, bright gilt lettering to the front board and spine. The corners remain pointed and the spine ends are crisp, exhibiting virtually no shelf-wear. The text block is square and securely bound. Internally, the pages are exceptionally clean, bright, and free from any foxing, tearing, or creasing. An excellent, exceptionally well-preserved copy.

Catalogue Note: First edition. A highly detailed and meticulously compiled bibliography by Leonard W. Cowie, published as Number 7 in Meckler's esteemed Bibliographies of British Statesmen series. This comprehensive reference work catalogues the vast array of manuscript collections, contemporary printed sources, subsequent biographies, and critical studies pertaining to Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson.

Issued by the publisher without a dust jacket, this edition is bound in sturdy navy cloth with gilt stamping. Copies of this original 1990 printing are scarce on the open market today, particularly in such well-preserved condition, making it a valuable addition to the reference library of any serious naval historian or Nelson enthusiast.

Leonard W. Cowie’s Lord Nelson 1758-1805: A Bibliography provides an indispensable roadmap for navigating the voluminous literature surrounding Britain’s greatest naval hero. From early contemporary accounts and manuscript repositories to late-twentieth-century historical analyses, this scholarly guide systematically organises the sources detailing Nelson’s life, his brilliant maritime career, and his enduring legacy. It stands as a vital research tool for scholars and collectors dedicated to the history of the Royal Navy and the Napoleonic Wars.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
