[17] The words recorded by Fletcher are in The World Encompassed. The Madox vocabulary was printed by E. G. R. Taylor, "Francis Drake and the Pacific," Pacific Historical Review, I (1932), 360-369. Madox's account has been further discussed by Wagner in the California Historical Society Quarterly, XI (1932), 309-311.

[21] See R. B. Haselden, "Is the Drake Plate of Brass Genuine?" California Historical Society Quarterly, XVI (1937), 271-274. Haselden's queries have been answered already. W. Hume-Rotherby (review of Drake's Plate of Brass Authenticated, in Geographical Journal, CXIV [1939], 54-55) points out that the letters engraved on the plate (B, N, M) are not paralleled by other sixteenth-century inscriptions, and that the form of the numeral 5 is suspect. These and other problems which he poses have the effect of creating a smokescreen of doubt without contributing anything new. Wagner is skeptical of the date on the plate (June 17) and of the fact that the plate is of brass rather than lead ("Creation of Rights of Sovereignty through Symbolic Acts," Pacific Historical Review, VII [1938], 297-326).
