p. 616. 5 Ibid., p. 024.
156 THE TRAFALGAR CAMPAIGN AFTER sent seventeen sliips-of-the-line (i. e. Nelson and Colling- wood combined) to the West Indies, when Nelson, joining his ten to Cochrane 's six, and three at Jamaica, would have nineteen — superior to our squadron; while Colling- wood going to the East Indies with eight and finding there nine, in all seventeen, also superior to us — it is difficult, I say, to believe that the enemy, with the chance of being everywhere superior, should bl...indly abandon the East Indies."!
Some French writers,^ as well as some English, have disparaged the insight of Nelson, comparing him unfavor- ably with Nai)oleon, and basing their estimate largely upon his error in esteeming Egypt the aim of the French. In view of the foregoing extracts, and of other miscalcula- tions made by the emperor during this remarkable cam- paign — which will appear farther on — it must be admitted that when in the dark, without good information, both were forced to inferences, more or less acute, but which, rest- ing on no solid data, rose, as Nelson said, little above suesses.
