landlubbersanonymous Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) From the Publishers Preface "The General Design of this Work, is to not only serve those who are bred to the sword but all that pretend to a Gentlemanlike Education..."

Capt. Sterling Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thank ye so very much. "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
