Summary
“It is not the magnitude of the object that makes courage or zeal conspicuous, or merit more apparent: the private captain, in fighting even a sloop of war, may manifest that professional skill and ability, which shall hereafter point him out to his country, as qualified to be entrusted with her highest and most important commands.”
—(Beatson's Naval and Military Memoirs).THE following is an imperfect outline of the public services of an officer, who has been brought up under the first characters in the British navy; and who, without a compliment, stands amidst the foremost of those men, from whose professional exertions our country may expect to support the glory and protecting power of the British flag. It has been furnished by a person who sailed with him; and we trust its insertion will neither offend his delicacy or that of his family.
Captain Graham is the son of Aaron Graham, Esq. well known and deservedly respected, for his integrity and vigilance as a police magistrate. Captain Graham was born in London, and received his Christian names of Edwards and Lloyd, from his grandfathers, Rear-admiral Richard Edwards, governor of Newfoundland, and the celebrated Captain Thomas Lloyd, well known in the political world as the friend of Lord Lansdown, Lord St. Vincent, and Mr. Fox. We do not exactly know with whom Captain Graham went first to sea; but he was on board the Triumph, of 74 guns, Captain Sir Erasmus Gower, and sailed in that ship to join the Channel fleet, under the command of the gallant Cornwallis.
