""Everybody that shall duly consider the whole account of these transactions, will be able to impute mistakes, miscarriages, and faults enough to both sides… But we cannot omit making this one observation, that where any King by ill judgment, or ill fortune, of his own, or those entrusted by him in the chief administration of his government, happen to fall into an interest contrary to that of his people, and will pursue that mistake, that Prince must have terrible conflicts in the course of his reign… On the other hand, that people, who, though invaded and oppressed in their just rights and liberties, shall not rest satisfied with reasonable reparations and securities, but, having got power into their hands, will make unjustifiable use of it, to the utter subversion of that government they are bound in duty and allegiance to support, do but at last make rods for their own backs, and very often bring upon themselves, from other hands, a more severe bondage than that they had shook off"" (Preface).

The stories he tells along the way and the engravings connected with them will be instructive and enjoyable to all those interested in the art of wood engraving. In addition to wood engraving, Bates' work as a professional illustrator includes the medium of scraper board, which produces an image that can appear to be a wood engraving. The process, which is probably unknown to most wood engraving enthusiasts is explained and a comparative example is included. Also included is a fold-out 4-color woodcut print which Bates made for a book published" by the Bird & Bull Press in 2001. Wesley Bates works full time as a printmaker and letterpress printer under the imprint West Meadow Press in Clifford Ontario. His wood engraved prints have been exhibited widely and are held in public and private collections in Canada, the United States, England, Ireland, Australia, Spain, Japan and China.

London: Thomas Tegg, (1810). "The Phoenix was one of thirteen ships of the Royal Navy lost in a terrible hurricane about October, 1780. The ship was helpless in the storm and just as it was feared that she would founder she struck on the coast of Cuba. Most of the crew, about 250, were rescued... Most of the other ships lost had no survivors. Archer's lively letter to his mother gives many details of the cruise and wreck" - Huntress 143 C. De Laval was shipwrecked off the Maldives and spent ten years there before returning to France. The "Phoenix" account was reprinted by Tegg, with De Laval's account added. This is listed as 153C in Huntress, and is the edition being offered here. Bound in old marbled wraps, with dramatic folding frontispiece (a Tegg staple) partially rebacked.. 18 cm. 28 pp. b/w folding aquatint frontispiece
