Nolan's Navy Trial and Loyal Soldier's Final Prayer
A midshipman named Nolan endures isolation aboard a ship, reading aloud until he misreads poetry and breaks, leading to banishment from peers. He comforts others, mentors sick crew, and faces death with unwavering patriotism, asking to be buried at sea and praising his country. The tale contrasts personal pride with loyalty.

A Man Without a Country in a Turbulent Era
The essay taunts Philip Nolan as a symbol of disloyalty amid late eighteenth and early nineteenth century upheaval. It weighs Nolan against Burr and Hamilton, frames the age as one of extreme individualism, and argues the central sin is selfishness and betrayal of country.
