Walling, Robert A. J. Sea-dog of Devon: a life of Sir John Hawkins. **$1.75. Lane.
A popular biography of Hawkins which “vindicates the hero from the charge of having inaugurated the British slave trade.”
“We are bound to say that it is not a biography in the received sense of the word; that it is not the first; and that it is a poor réchauffé of uncritical stuff.”
