Notes

First published with title: A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (C. Rivington, London, 1724). Vol. 2, dealing chiefly with the pirates of Madagascar, was first published July 25, 1978. The 1726 ed.. of v.1 and this 1728 ed. of v.2 are usually regarded as the complete 4th ed. of the History. Cf. Moore, item 458.
Attribution to Defoe is based on internal relationship to his works of proven authorship, together with supporting external evidence. Cf. J. R. Moore. Defoe in the pillory 1939. p. 126-188.
