This enterprising navigator, who afterwards rose to the highest honours of his profession, made a sort of fighting and capturing voyage round the world. He was the veriest bulldog of all circumnavigators; loving nothing better than tough contests by sea and by land. A Spanish galleon, or a hostile town, was equally an object of attack; and he returned from his three years and nine months absence from his native country, laden with more spoils and wealth than it had fallen to the lot of any individual to bring home. Considering what he saw, and what he accomplished, it is to be regretted that we are not in possession of a more perfect record of his achievements."-[This desideratum is now supplied by the above work.]-Dibdin's Library Companion.
