Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Drake and His Yeomen: A True Accounting of the Character and Adventures of Sir Francis Drake "My dear Norman," wrote Basil Ennis to his friend, Norman Coolidge, fellow at Oxford, "I at last redeem my promise and send you the old Ms. that I told you belonged to my friends in Northamptonshire. It was found, as all these old papers should be found, you know, in an oak chest in the library at Highcourt - too bad that it was not just newly discovered in a secret drawer and I the discoverer; but the fact is that the existence of the paper had been known to the family for a long time, but you understand how careless some families are in matters of this character. It requires the loving and knowing ken of such grubby old bookworms as you and myself to detect the value of a possession like this. I have copied it out (a labour of love that has nearly cost me my eyesight), and submit it to you for your critical judgment.
