Excerpt from Nelson: And Other Naval Studies
Disraeli is the only English biographer of Paul Jones known to me who has attempted to do him justice. He evidently felt for him a certain affinity of temperament, a certain sympathy of soul. His youthful motto, Adventures are to the adventurous, would have been as congenial to Paul Jones as it was to himself. When he says of him, that to per form extraordinary actions, a man must often entertain extraordinary sentiments, and that in the busiest scenes of human life, enthusiasm is not always vain, nor romance always a fable, he is anticipating a vein of reflection with which Englishmen were afterwards to be made very familiar in the character and career of the statesman who made Queen Victoria an Empress and realized the dreams of his own Tancred by annexing Cyprus to her dominions.
