	ST VINCENT, JOHN JERVIS, EARL OF - LoveToKnow Article on ST VINCENT, JOHN JERVIS, EARL OF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		ST VINCENT, JOHN JERVIS, EARL OF (1735-1823), British admiral, was the second son of Swynfen Jervis, solicitor to the admiralty, and treasurer of Greenwich hospital.
		The Spaniards were very inefficient, and Jervis would have held his ground, if one of his subordinates had not taken the extraordinary course of returning to England, because he thought that the dangerous state of the country required that all its forces should be concentrated at home.
		Yet he cannot be denied the honor of having raised the discipline of the navy to a higher level than it had reached before; he was always ready to promote good officers, and the efficiency of the squadron with which Nelson won the battle of the Nile was largely due to him.
