TALES
OF THE
SPANISH SEAS.
BY
HENRY W. HERBERT,
AUTHOR OF “CROMWELL,” “THE BROTHERS,” “MARMADUKE WYVILL,” “THE ROMAN
TRAITOR,” ETC.
Our plough the galley, and our steeds the breeze—
Our harvest-field the broad and bounding seas—
We reap the golden crop from zone to zone,
Our birthright all that slaves and dastards own.
New York:
BURGESS, STRINGER, & CO.,
222 Broadway, corner of Ann Street.
1847.

The history of the Buccaneers abounds with perilous enterprises and
romantic adventures, which afford a field for the highest powers of the
novelist; but hitherto American authors have avoided this fertile ground.
In “Ringwood the Rover” the writer has sought to give a picture of the
nobler class, as well as to describe some of the daring undertakings of these
free rovers of the seas.
