B: With Sketches of His Professional Life, and Exertions in the Cause of Humanity, as Connected With the "Children's Friend Society," &C., Observations Upon His "Naval History," and "Life of the Earl of St. Vincent" But for the opposition the Children's Friend Society, of which he was the founder, has met with, and which has had so powerful an effect as to compel the benevolent and indefatigable managers to dissolve the institution.

The Naval History of Great Britain
"Edward Pelham Brenton (1774-1830) himself served in the Royal Navy during most of the period under review, reaching the rank of post-captain, and was the brother of Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton, American-born loyalist who served in the Swedish navy against Russia and was wrecked and taken prisoner in France during the Napoleonic Wars. Brenton writes of the immortals of British naval history as of peers, and often his information comes first hand or at least from intimates of those who were there."--abebooks website.

Earl St. Vincent was not only an excellent administrator, a fine sailor and undaunted defender of the Royal Navy. He was also eclipsed in the tomes of history by his more famous protégé, Lord Nelson. Sir John Jervis had served for many years with distinction before Nelson’s birth; defending Jamaica from privateers and pirates, distinguishing himself during the Seven Years war and War of American Independence. This two-volume biography by Captain Brenton, a contemporary (albeit junior) of both naval heroes, goes some way to fixing the void in the record of Earl St Vincent. The biography includes much of the original documentation and letters of the period when the invasion of the British ...
