A tract on the notorious case of Captain Thomas Green, at one time attributed to Daniel Defoe. Green was the commander of the trading ship Worcester, which on returning to London from India and Africa, put in to Leith in July 1704. The ship was held by the Scots authorities, blaming Green for piracy possibly in reprisal for the seizure in London of the Scots ship the Annandale. Eventually in April 1705 Green and two others of his crew were executed in Leith. The case had become involved with the failure of the Darien scheme and the question of the union.
At one time attributed to Daniel Defoe (Moore, who came to doubt attribution--cf. Furbank and Owens). Attribution disputed by Furbank and Owens, Defoe de-attributions.
