Attractive copy of this far from common early biography.

Allen remarks in his Preface on Cochrane’s own account of his services in Chili, Peru, & Brazil and on the publication of the second volume of his Autobiography shortly before his death, “Those who are more than commonly interested in the services of this distinguished man, therefore, will find in these works ample information. But it is due to “the million”, to whom those volumes are unattainable, to place within their reach in a clear and impartial form, a record of the deeds of one of the bravest and most ill-used of British naval heroes.”
