CALL FOR PAPERS TRAFALGAR CHRONICLE PUBLICATION DATE: FALL/AUTUMN 2022 THEME: SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN THE NAVIES OF THE GEORGIAN ERA Never forget that there is a whole treasure trove of interesting stuff on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/The1805Club/ Charley, a new retiree-greeter at WalMart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was �ive, ten, �ifteen minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharpminded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies. One day the boss called him into the of�ice for a talk. "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you �inally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome." "Yes, I know boss, I’m sorry and am working on it." "Well good, you are a team player. That's what to like to hear." "Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder." Seemingly puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "I know you are from the armed forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up late in the morning so often? He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin: "They usually saluted and said, Good Morning Admiral, can I get your coffee, Sir?"

However, in his time he was famous – celebrated for his daring and seamanship. For six years Malcolm commanded the ship of the line HMSDonegal, �ighting in the Battle of San Domingo and blockading French warships in their ports. He was involved in the aftermath of Trafalgar and the events surrounding Waterloo, and came to know some of the great men of his time, including Nelson, Wellington and Napoleon. This biography is based in large part on Malcolm’s personal letters to members of his family, particularly to his wife Clementina. While the book offers a portrait of a man devoted to his service, the letters range over far more than naval activity, illuminating also the social and economic pressures changing British society.
