Book Details
First Sentence
"NONE OF these bold Adventures were ever so much talked of, for a while, as Avery; he made as great a Noise in the World as Meriveis does now, and was looked upon to be a Person of as great Consequence; he was represented in Europe, as one that had raised himself to the Dignity of a King, and was likely to be the Founder of a new Monarchy; having, as it was said, taken immense Riches, and married the Great Mogul's Daughter, who was taken in an Indian Ship, which fell into his Hands; and that he had by her many Children, living in great Royalty and State; that he had built Forts, erected Magazines, and was Master of a stout Squadron of Ships, mann'd with able and desperate Fellows of all Nations; that he gave Commissions out in his own Name to the Captains of his Ships, and to the Commanders of his Forts, and was acknowledged by them as their Prince."
Edition Notes
The text of this book is taken from the 1925 edition of Captain Johnson's 'History' by pirate Historian Philip Gosse. Philip was the author of the 1925-1927 two volume edition of Captain's Johnson's 'History', which in turn was a reprint of the 1725 third edition of the original work.
