Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Scotland's High Court of the Admiralty, which was established in
the mid-15th century, had jurisdiction over civil, criminal, and
prize matters upon the high seas. The earliest extant records of
the Admiralty Court date from 1657, and they are housed in the
National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. For this new book, the
indefatigable David Dobson has culled the records of the High Court
of the Admiralty--mostly from the court's Register of Decrees--for
any reference to America between the years 1675 and 1800. American
Data From the Records of the High Court of the Admiralty of
Scotland, 1675-1800 is thus a transcription of 3,000 references to
Scotsmen with a maritime connection to the New World, as gleaned
from relatively obscure maritime records.

Danske Dandridge gives an account of the prisoners during the
American Revolutionary War. Dandridge uses personal narratives to
enhance her own words. This book was written so that we as a nation
would not forget the sacrifices of so many men for our freedom.
Some of the accounts include Jonathan Gillette, William Cunningham,
a prison surgeon, a young boy, and a poet writing on the ship.
There are sections on Washington and Franklin. The book ends with
an appendix including the names of all 8000 men imprisoned on
British ships.
