= Sabin 1629; Cox I, p.49; Borba de Moraes I, p.38: "This is a classic account of circumnavigation which has been published in countless editions in French and other languages (...)." Cox: "This famous and unfortunate expedition, consisting at the start of eight ships, was sent under the command of George Anson at the beginning of the war with Spain, to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America. Seven ships were lost around Cape Horn and on the coast of Chili and out of 900 men who left England on board more than 600 perished. (...) Walter's account of the voyage is a model of what such literature should be. The mournful beauty of the passage describing their approach to Cape Horn compares well with that of Masefield's in his poem Dauber."
