Fox (Henry Richard Fox) 1837 1909 Bourne, Henry Richard Fox 04033691 The Life of Thomas, Lord Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald, Vol. I Ted Garvin, Daniel Watkins and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The Life of Thomas, Lord Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald, Vol. I" by Dundonald et al. is a historical account published in the late 19th century that chronicles the life and career of Thomas Cochrane, a notable naval officer and politician in the British Empire. The narrative begins with an examination of Lord Cochrane's early life, including his ancestry and naval exploits, and delves into significant events that shaped his career, including his battles in the Napoleonic Wars, his parliamentary engagement, and the injustices he faced, particularly during the infamous Stock Exchange trial. At the start of the text, we are introduced to Cochrane's impressive lineage and determine that his career, marked by remarkable naval achievements and reforms, began at a young age. The opening portions detail his early naval service, including daring exploits aboard the sloop "Speedy" and the frigate "Pallas", as well as his initial forays into politics. The groundwork is laid for understanding his complex character, driven by a deep sense of honor and justice, which ultimately led him into conflict with authority. The narrative sets the stage for his financial and political struggles, particularly the Stock Exchange trial that would unjustly tarnish his reputation, pointing to the larger themes of sacrifice and resilience that will feature prominently in his life story.
