An Historical account of the voyages and adventures of Sir Walter Raleigh : With the discoveries and conquests he made for the Crown of England. Also a particular account of his several attempts for the discovery of the gold mines in Guiana, and the reason of the miscarriage, shewing, that it was not from any defect in the scheme he had laid, or in the reality of the thing it self, but in a treacherous discovery of his design and of the strength he had with him, to the Spaniards. To which is added, an account how that rich country might now be with ease, posses'd, planted and secur'd to the British nation, and what immense wealth and encrease of commerce might be rais'd from thence. Humbly proposed to the South-Sea-Company.
