This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Charles Johnson's celebrated 'A General History of the Pirates' (1724) is the most famous book about pirates ever written. Buoyed by the volume's runaway success Johnson followed up with the equally engrossing 'The Lives and Adventures of the Most Famous Highwaymen' (1734) which, published here for the first time in two centuries, provides over 50 accounts of the most notorious British criminals of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These include the famous highwayman William Davis, alias The Golden Farmer, the cross-Channel gentleman highwayman Claude du Vall, the prolific road adventurer Old Mob and the royalist carriage raider James Hind. Johnson's volumes, featuring fictional accounts based on factual sources, are significant as the forerunners of the real-life criminal biography genre, and for their influence on such early novels as Defoe's 'Moll Flanders' and Fielding's 'Jonathan Wild'. Originally published in folio size complete with fine engravings, this new edition of 'Highwaymen' not only includes the very best of these original decorative features but also presents a series of related illustrations, playbills, and portraits from the British Library collections.

This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A General History of the Pirates has long been a classic of seafaring literature and was inspiration to both Robert Louis Stevenson and J.M. Barrie. Nothing is known about Captain Charles Johnson, and it is thought that the name may be assumed - there are even some who believe he may have been Daniel Defoe. All that can be stated with any certainty is that in 1724 a small octavo volume appeared that became so popular it grew through 4 editions over 2 years and is still famed today. Historians from both sides of the Atlantic have attested to the accuracy of the work's content. This is a reprint of the 1927 reissued 4th edition - enhanced by the Arthur L. Hayward's editorial touches.

Book Synopsis A General History of the Pyrates by : Daniel Defoe
Download or read book A General History of the Pyrates written by Daniel Defoe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates is a 1724 book published in Britain containing biographies of contemporary pirates, which was influential in shaping popular conceptions of pirates. Its author uses the name Captain Charles Johnson, generally considered a pseudonym for one of London's writer-publishers. The prime source for the biographies of many well known pirates, the book gives an almost mythical status to the more colourful characters, and it is likely that the author used considerable licence in his accounts of pirate conversations. The book also contains the name of the pirate flag the Jolly Roger, and shows the skull and bones design.

The second is a spirited and rebellious English girl, sent to the West Indies to marry well and combine the wealth of two respectable families.
