Gosse, Philip The History of Piracy.  First published in 1932. The material required for such a record as that contained in this book compelled the author to cast his net far and wide and in many of the by waters of history and literature. There have been few books written which have attempted to deal with this subject as a whole, and these few contained many gaps which could only be filled by research into all sorts of unlikely sources, Students of the subject believe this is the finest book ever published on how piracy came to be, and when, and who the pirates were, whence they came, and when they departed from the nautical scene. Simply stupendous reading if you're into lost, hidden and/or sunken treasure. An excellent annotated index; 16 full page engravings; 384 pages; 6" x 9". Four appendices. Detailed bibliography. Soft cover only at present time. Item Number: SW12S

Surely pirates, taking them in their broadest sense, are as much entitled to a biographical dictionary of their own as are politicians, clergymen, race-horses, or artists in ferro-concrete, who all have their own "Who's Who"? This volume does not pretend to be a history of piracy, but is simply an attempt to gather together, from various sources, particulars of those redoubtable pirates and buccaneers whose names have been handed down to us in a desultory way. 
To write a whole history of piracy would be a great undertaking, but a very interesting one. Piracy must have begun in the far, dim ages, and perhaps when some naked savage, paddling himself across a tropical river, met with another adventurer on a better tree-trunk, or carrying a bigger bunch of bananas, the first act of piracy was committed. Indeed, piracy must surely be the third oldest profession in the world. 
Herein are contained brief accounts of some of the most famous pirates and buccaneers who have left their marks upon history. Their exploits with their attending morals and motives were surely many and varied. Among their ranks heroes and villains were no less uncommon than among those who found themselves in other professions.
