| Meer info | “Performed in a private Expedition during the War, which broke out with Spain in the year 1718.” Second edition, revised and expanded by Shelvocke's son. “Two histories were published of this voyage. This, written by Captain Shelvocke, was intended by him as a vindication of his conduct, having been accused of piracy and embezzlement. The other was written by one of Shelvocke’s officers, William Betagh, who was roughly treated in Shelvocke’s narrative, and, in return, wrote with the design of exposing Shelvocke. Both narratives are written with spirit.” |
