J. H. Hubback Jane Austen's Sailor Brothers

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. How often I call to mind some question or answer, expressed quite naturally in terms of the novels sometimes even a conversation would be carried on entirely appropriate to the matter under discussion, but the actual phrases were Aunt Jane's. So well, too, do I recollect the sad news of the death of Admiral Charles Austen, after the capture, under his command, of Martaban and Rangoon, and while he was leading his squadron to further successes, fifty-six years having elapsed since his first sea-fight.
