It seems curious to me that O'Brian only makes a very brief reference to Bonden's death, and there is no dialogue between Aubrey and Maturin about it. The only other reference I can find to it is when Jack gives instructions for a young midshipman, a Mr Wells, to repair aboard the flag ship accompanied by an experienced sailor; he is about to say Bonden but has to check himself. Perhaps this rather casual treatment can simply be put down to the fortunes of war. Ivankinsman ( talk) 09:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Image:The Hundred Days cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I know that the reviews need to have shorter excerpts. First I collected five of them, all from the US. I still have not found an easy way to get at the Irish and British reviews. It is easy to pull shorter bits from a long and interesting newspaper review. What I find challenging is how to have a theme in the Reviews section, tying together views that may echo each other, or disagree. For that starting viewpoint, it would be good to have the view from the published books about the series. If someone else has those books and can do the job of tying it together, well and good. It will take me some time. It is interesting how many reviews were written for this novel, an indicator that more reviewers liked it a lot, and the frequency of the novels coming from an author over 80 years old. More comments are made about the genre of nautical history and his differences from the average book of that genre, and one reviewer made clear that the plot in the Mediterranean was fictional, just the pivot point (that Napoleon wanted to fight each opposing army one at a time) was true. -- Prairieplant ( talk) 08:48, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
