Fine Line Graphology, Examples Horatio Nelson

TO LADY HAMILTON.
Victory, October 19th, 1805, Noon, Cadiz, E.S.E.
My dearest beloved Emma, the dear friend of my bosom. The signal has been made that the Enemy's Combined Fleet are coming out of Port. We have very little wind, so that I have no hopes of seeing them before tomorrow. May the God of Battles crown my endeavours with success; at all events, I will take care that my name shall ever be most dear to you and Horatia, both of whom I love as much as my own life. And as my last writing before the Battle will be to you, so I hope in God that I shall live to finish my letter after the Battle. May Heaven bless you prays your Nelson & Bronte. October 20th. In the morning, we were close to the Mouth of the Straits, but the wind had not come far enough to the Westward to allow the Combined Fleets to weather the Shoals off Trafalgar; but they were counted as far as forty Sail of Ships of War, which I suppose to be thirty-four of the Line, and six Frigates. A group of them was seen off the Lighthouse of Cadiz this morning, but it blows so very fresh and thick weather, that I rather believe they will go into the Harbour before night. May God Almighty give us success over these fellows, and enable us to get a Peace.

Horatio Nelson
Born: 29 September 1758, Burham Thorpe, Norfolk, England
Nelson was the greatest hero in British naval history, an honour he earned by defeating Napoleon's fleet in the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar. Nelson entered the Royal Navy at age 12 and commanded his first vessel at age 20; as a captain he was both praised and condemned for his aggressive and unorthodox tactics. He lost his right arm and the sight in his right eye to injuries suffered in battles. Nelson was knighted in 1797 and made viscount in 1801. In 1799 he began a notorious affair with Lady Emma Hamilton;

Historic Writing
A profile of Horatio Nelson (circa 1805)

Horatio's frequency of emotional expression occasionally trips him up, but rarely carries him away. He likes to think of himself as a rational person, but he can get emotional when he is upset or angry. Horatio may have been physically tired or depressed at the time of writing. Otherwise, he is a pessimistic type of person who protects himself from disappointment by expecting the worst and waiting until there is little likelihood of failure. He seems to be experiencing a degree of internal anxiety.

Horatio's analytical mind helps him to break a problem into parts and deal with each item separately. He is able to focus his attention and concentrate in spite of distractions. Intuition plays a part in Horatio's thinking along with logic, and this allows him to see all parts of a problem or situation. He enjoys dealing with matters related to his day-to-day life; but after awhile, he feels like turning to more intellectual pursuits. He uses his intellect to stoutly defend his opinions in matters which are important to him.

He will explore all possible avenues in order to defend his point of view. His stubbornness sometimes prevents him from giving in, even when he is wrong. He can become frustrated by indecision or indirect communication. He may become upset when people cannot keep up with him and react as quickly as he does. While he may be receptive to praise and attention, he doesn't need to be stroked constantly. His greatest contribution probably lies in his ability to carry out plans and take care of operations.
