- Death Notes
- "the only son of the late Rev. William
Bradford, rector of Storrington, in Sussex. His
father, like many other of the clergy of that time,
volunteered for service as a chaplain to the Forces,
and in that capacity took part in Sir John Moore's
retreat to Corunna. His 'Sketches of the Country,
Character, and Costume in Spain and Portugal,'
a fine folio published by Ackerman, was the outcome
of his service in the Peninsula. He afterwards
resided for some years at Vienna, where he held the
post of chaplain to the British Embassy. Both the
General's parents possessed literary and histotical
tastes. His father published, in addition to the
above-mentioned work, the 'Correspondence of the
Emperor Charles V.,' and his mother was the author
of the well-known 'Memoirs of Princess Dashkaw.'
