Excerpt from Scotland's Work and Worth, Vol. 2: An Epitome of Scotland's Story From Early Times to the Twentieth Century, With a Survey of the Contributions of Scotsmen in Peace and in War to the Growth of the British Empire and the Progress of the World On 21st October 1805 the most glorious event in the annals of the British Navy took place, when Nelson, having previously outwitted his enemies in regard to their feigned West Indian Expedition, crushed at Trafalgar the combined naval power of France and Spain, converted the proud boast that Britannia rules the waves into a literal fact, and freed Britain from the nightmare dread of invasion.
