Excerpt from The Age of Drake: "Sea-Dog" Readers

Surprise has often been expressed that, with such feeble instruments, they did so much and abuse has often been heaped on their recklessness, their cruelty, their lust for gold. Both the surprise and the abuse are natural, if not justifiable; but both emphasize what is obvious or occasional, while they ignore the spirit of the English sailors at the time, and its wide-spread influence on the nation.
