Privateering, Piracy, and British Policy in Spanish America 1810–1830 by Matthew McCarthy

The Americas, 2014

Some on the left argued that the existing system was designed to prevent leftist revolutions from occurring and so could not be used toward revolutionary ends, and that counter-revolutionary violence would make peaceful revolution impossible. Right-wing elites considered Allende's approach an undemocratic and illegitimate violation of the status quo and an existential threat to the economic, political, and social systems that favored them. Figueroa Clark offers a measured explanation of how Allende came to understand revolution, reform, and democracy as mutually inclusive, based on his decades of experience in medicine, social policy, and national and international politics.

Journal Compilation © 2007 The Nautical Archaeology Society 217 work of marine archaeologists. By contrast James Nicholas’s 1964 classic The Confederate Quartermaster in the Trans-Mississippi has been re-issued by Percheron Press of New York (ISBN 09752738-5-X) with a new introduction by J. Barto Arnold III as part of Texas A&M University’s excavation of the wreck of the British-built blockade-runner Denbigh just outside Galveston (see IJNA 36.2: 455, and review of Schooner Sail to Starboard, this issue). To complement the examination of the physical remains of the ship new research has uncovered cargo manifests, shipping records and the whole issue of military supply in the Trans-Mississippi theatre of war. War produces specialised ships, and ensures that many of them are left for later research. Few were more remarkable than the Civil War blockade-runners.

His excitement at the sights encountered on the voyage is resonant of the kinds of cultural background and assumptions held by many of those travelling. He was, he concluded, always astounded ‘to see the wonders of the Lord in the deep, and his works in mighty waters’ (p.119). While the main focus is on the maritime experiences of travellers, there are some illuminating comments on the development of Australia. In 1848, for example, the McRitchie sisters arrived from Scotland and wrote to their father that ‘Melbourn was as large as Dunfernline [sic] and most of the houses are brick ... it is wonderful to see such a place only to be 13 years old [sic]’ (p.141). While the book concentrates on the more dramatic voyages and is obviously limited by the survival of archival evidence, it contains much material of value. Like a lot of the correspondence detailed in the book, Robin Haines’s work connects, and is equally likely to appeal to, people in both Australia and the British Isles.
