1694 1^ed Detection of Court COKE England NAVY Ships Andrew Marvell Cromwell 2v

“A sort of secret history, engaging to and Englishman, naturally inquisitive, curious and greedy of scandal.” – Lowndes

According to Maltzahn in the “Andrew Marvell Chronology,” Roger Coke draws much of his content for ‘Detection’ from Marvell’s ‘Account of the Growth of Popery in England.” From this work, Coke notes, “Mr. Marvel, at the end of his ‘Growth of Popery,’ gives an Account of sixty-three of these ships with the Master’s Names, their Burden, Landing, and the ports they belonged to.” This work was written in a simple, gossip-style and filled with anecdotes (Stephen, Dictionary of National Biography, 247). In addition to records of ships, this work contains notes on lives and deaths of Kings Chares I and II, Cromwel, The Dutch War, and more!
