Charles
Philip Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke – A Memoir
(1910)
"Charles Philip Yorke - Fourth Earl Of Hardwicke - Vice-Admiral
R.N. - A Memoir by his Daughter [Elizabeth] the Lady Biddulph of
Ledbury - dedicated to his grandchildren" is now available
online as a free ebook from Project Gutenberg. If you have problems
with the above link go to http://www.gutenberg.net
and run a title word search on 'Hardwicke'.[The book is something
of an idealised and uncritical biography (perhaps the significant
clue here is "daughter" and "grandchildren")
but the book includes a fascinating and detailed account (mainly
in his own words) of the 4th Earl's active life in the Royal Navy.]
You can read the book online or download for study.
A download into "Word" will take up about 650 KB and it
opens in 214 pages.
