The Pirates' Who's Who / Giving Particulars Of The Lives and Deaths Of The Pirates And Buccaneers

Transcriber's note.
Many of the names in this book (even outside quoted passages) are inconsistently spelt. I have chosen to retain the original spelling treating these as author error rather than typographical carelessness.

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO MY FELLOW-MEMBERS OF THE FOUNTAIN CLUB WITH THE EARNEST HOPE THAT NOTHING IT CONTAINS MAY INCITE THEM TO EMULATE ITS HEROES

Let it be made clear at the very outset of this Preface that the pages which follow do not pretend to be a history of piracy, but are simply an attempt to gather together, from various sources, particulars of those redoubtable pirates and buccaneers whose names have been handed down to us in a desultory way.
