One of the greatest of British historians, David Beers Quinn, reviews in this essay some of the controversies swirling around Drake in his lifetime and brings to light the grudging admiration in which Drake was held by many Spaniards, in spite of his destructiveness to Spanish interest. With a bibliographical supplement describing more than 100 printed sources in the Library relating to Drake.

HUDIBRAS
by Butler, Samuel

Lowndes 1, 336. Limited to only two hundred copies, this copy being one of those with the illustrations in black- chiefly Hogarth cuts. Volumes one and three have engraved frontispieces, and all three have engraved title pages. Volume two also has a plain typeset title page. There are many full-page illustrations as well as head- and tailpieces. The first two volumes are the poem; the third volume is, "Notes on Hudibras by Dr. T. Nash." This is a beautiful late eighteenth-century edition printed on heavy paper. There is a little offset from a few of the illustrations. Unfortunately, the binding hasn't held up as well as the text block. All the boards are detached, but the spines are holding firmly.
