Likely second edition of the popular history of pirates operating during the Golden Age of Piracy in the West Indies. The work is based on Captain Johnson’s wildly successful 1724 book A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE ROBBERIES AND MURDERS OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS PYRATES, which launched some of the most notorious pirates into infamy. Most of this collection is devoted to tales of American piracy of the late 17th and early 18th centuries; with an account of more recent acts of piracy added to the end of the work, along with descriptions of their trials and executions.
This work was very popular as seen by the many re-prints.
