Description

Sir Francis Drake: His Voyage, 1595 - Together with the Spanish account of Drake's attack on Puerto Rico

The name of Sir Francis Drake is one of the brightest ornaments of Hakluyts collection; and a Society, which undertakes to continue and complete the labours of the latter, cannot certainly be better employed than in publishing documents illustrating the life and achievements of that distinguished seaman. In conformity with this view, the two original pieces which follow have been selected for publication; both brief but full of life, and the first of them, in particular, very racy and characteristic. The value of Maynardes paper (additional MSS., No. 5209, in the library of the British Museum), lies in the writers intimacy with Sir Francis Drake, whom he accompanied in the unfortunate expedition[vi] which is the subject of the following narrative, and in the shrewdness of his remarks, clothed occasionally in the quaintest language. It cannot be denied that it tends to dispel much of the romance which has hitherto coloured so brilliantly the history of the naval hero. But truth is thereby a gainer. Romance elevates the hero at the expense of human nature, and sacrifices the many for the glory of one. It may not be without advantage to learn, from the example of one so justly celebrated as Drake, what sordid motives may be cloaked under the pretence of national glory, and how mistrustfully we ought to listen to the professedly generous instigators of war and rapine. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
