No. 46. The Monitor on Navy Offenders and Courage
The author attacks cowardice in the British navy, arguing officers who betrayed valor were unjustly spared while honest commander Vernon is celebrated. He condemns promotions for those acquitted or condemned and urges severe consequences for cowardly misconduct, fearing it undermines national honor and governance.
