Gosse argued that fossils are not really the remains of creatures which existed. God had created the world in six days, but had made it look like it was already ancient, complete with the remains of non-existent pre-historic life. Gosse's work was popular with neither Christians nor evolutionists.

Reference

Blurb

Written by an eminent authority on pirate lore and literature, The History of Piracy is one of the most important books on the subject. Tracing the rise of piracy from its ancient beginnings to its ultimate demise, it leads readers down an exciting path of fortune, fame, and folly. Within this exhaustive volume on the pirate "profession," readers will encounter an unforgettable cast of plundering characters — eccentric, dramatic, but always human. Here are the maritime brigands who challenged even the most powerful nations on the high seas. From the Vikings to the Elizabethan corsairs to the buccaneers of the West, discover who these pirates were, what they did, and, ultimately, why they disappeared. A landmark in picaresque history, this classic provides penetrating detail on the world's seafaring outlaws, including their morals, codes of honor, and taboos. It's sure to satisfy the modern reader's enduring fascination with pirates and their lives. Included in this edition are four maps and seventeen illustrations from the volume's original printing.

BiblioLife

The Pirates' Who's Who is not a history of pirates. It is a biographical dictionary of pirates and buccaneers, whose stories have been handed down to us through history. Many groups such as politicians, artists and even racehorses have a Who's Who, so why not pirates? Brief accounts of some of the most famous pirates and buccaneers who have left their marks on history are included. We find heroes and villains within their ranks. Their morals and motives for their chosen profession are greatly varied.

Gosse, Philip The History of Piracy.  First published in 1932. The material required for such a record as that contained in this book compelled the author to cast his net far and wide and in many of the by waters of history and literature. There have been few books written which have attempted to deal with this subject as a whole, and these few contained many gaps which could only be filled by research into all sorts of unlikely sources, Students of the subject believe this is the finest book ever published on how piracy came to be, and when, and who the pirates were, whence they came, and when they departed from the nautical scene. Simply stupendous reading if you're into lost, hidden and/or sunken treasure. An excellent annotated index; 16 full page engravings; 384 pages; 6" x 9". Four appendices. Detailed bibliography. Soft cover only at present time. Item Number: SW12S
