THE LIFE OF THOMAS, LORD COCHRANE, TENTH EARL OF DUNDONALD.....
Lord Cochrane was a Napoleonic-era sea captain, whose adventures were the source material for many popular series of naval fiction. He started to write a biography but passed away after completing only two volumes. This work, by Cochrane's secretary and son, completes his "Autobiography of a Seaman". In this volume, Cochrane aids the Greeks against their Ottoman overlords, joins the House of Lords, gets his knighthood back and re-enters the Royal Navy.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY.....
Henry Richard Fox Bourne (December 24, 1837 – February 2, 1909) was a British social reformer and writer. Henry Fox Bourne was born at Grecian Regale, Blue Mountains, Jamaica, one of eight children of Stephen Bourne, magistrate and advocate of the abolition of slavery, and of Elizabeth Quirk. His father had founded in December 1826 the World, the first nonconformist and exclusively religious journal in England. His parents left Jamaica in 1841 for British Guiana, and moved to London in 1848. There, after attending a private school, Fox Bourne entered London University in 1856, and joined classes at King's College London and the City of London College. He also attended, at University College London, lectures on English literature and history by Henry Morley, whose intimate friend and assistant he afterwards became. In 1855 he entered the war office as a clerk, devoting his leisure to literary and journalistic work. He regularly contributed to The Examiner an organ of advanced radical thought, of which Henry Morley was editor, and wrote for Charles Dickens in Household Words.
