*Nelson - Battle of Copenhagen.

Parker and Captain Riou by name, concluding 'other fire Ships are to proceed under ye orders of Capt. Riou of the Amazon to perform such services as he is directed by Lord Nelson, Signed Nelson & Bronte', one page and two lines in a neat hand with two corrections, integral document title panel with horizontal folds, folio Nelson had invited captains from ships of the fleet to dinner on board HMS Elephant on 1st April 1801. They discussed plans for the attack of the 18-ship Danish fleet. Nelson was given twelve ships to carry out the attack, all listed in these orders. He stayed up until 01:00 dictating his instruction and orders for the attack which began at 10:05 on 2nd April. Two hours later, the commander-in-chief, Sir Hyde Parker made a signal to discontinue the action. Nelson literally turned a blind eye to the signal, saying to Captain Foley, as he raised the spyglass to his right eye, 'I have a right to be blind sometimes [and] I really do not see the signal' (Hibbert, p. 261). Following the Danish defeat an armistice was declared and Nelson replaced Parker as the Navy's commander-in-chief. Several versions of Nelson's orders of attack have been published and this appears to be a working document dictated to a secretary sometime shortly after midnight on the 1st April. (1)
