dc.description.abstract | A first person narrative, purportedly from Rhodes's manuscript journal, but probably fictitious. The account resembles, and is evidently a reworking of, The surprizing adventures of John Roach, mariner of Whitehaven (Whitehaven, [1784?], Liverpool, 1785, and Dumfries, 1788 editions). Error in paging: p. 249-252 misnumbered 247-250. |
