This volume presents seven short stories of pirates and robbers, all published originally during the busy years in which Defoe's work as a novelist was done. They were, no doubt, thrown off in haste by a busy writer, and they do not rank with his masterpieces; yet they exhibit the same powers, and they deserve to be known.Contents: IntroductionThe King of Pirates: Captain AveryThe Cartoucheans in FranceThe History of the Remarkable Life of John SheppardA Narrative of All the Robberies, Escapes, andc., of John SheppardThe Life and Actions of Jonathan WildThe Adventures of Captain John GowLives of Six Notorious Street-Robbers
