Piracy, Turtles and Flying Foxes

Short excerpt chapters from William Dampier's A New Voyage Around the World, published 1697. Quite a well selected series of excerpts, covering a lot of ground - a bit of piracy, a lot on natural history (turtles, manatee, flying foxes, sucking-fishes (that's a noun)), some adventurous sea travel, and of course some geography.
Very readable, and it moves from subject to subject quickly for those of limited attention span, like my review.
