`THE LIFE OF ADMIRAL LORD NELSON, K.B. FROM HIS LORDSHIP`S MANUSCRIPTS`, Rev. James Stainer Clarke and John McArthur, London, 1809, 1st Edition in two volumes, printed by T. Bensley for T. Cadell, W. Davies and W. Miller, containing numerous engravings and plans, bound between original diced full calf covers with high quality re-backing, each volume bearing the library plates for Richard Brinsley Sheridan - 14 x 11in. (36 x 29cm.), Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) was one of the most colourful late 18th Century characters and enjoyed two separate careers. He made his mark as a playwright and where The Critic (1775) ensured his fame, his masterpiece - The School for Scandal (1777) - sealed it. Tiring of the theatre but retaining his stake in Drury Lane, in 1780 he entered Parliament as an ally of the Whig republican Charles James Fox who favoured the American Colonials. Between 1804 and 1807 he served as treasurer to the Navy in a coalition government under Pitt the Younger and it was presumably in this capacity that he became friendly with Nelson. In February 1809 his theatre burned to the ground and on being encountered drinking a glass of wine in the street while watching the fire, Sheridan was famously reported to have said: "A man may surely be allowed to take a glass of wine by his own fireside." In 1812 his creditors foreclosed on him and he died in poverty in 1816.
