[PHILIPS (JOHN, ATTRIBUTED TO)]
Footnotes
THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF ANSON'S CIRCUMNAVIGATION, "EXTREMELY RARE AND UNAUTHORIZED" (Hill), appearing four years before the appearance of Richard Walter's official narrative. According to the title-page, John Philips was "Midshipman of the Centurion", but doubts have been raised about his existence and it may have been thought necessary to use a pseudonym as the narrative appeared in advance of the official account "and included information that was not considered ready for publication".
Provenance: Sir Robert Throckmorton (1702-1791), armorial bookplate; William Boultbee Whall (1847–1917), Master mariner, bookplate.
