| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Celebrated naval and military trials" by Peter Burke is a collection of historical accounts written in the mid-19th century. It assembles notable British naval and army cases—part biography, part battle narrative, part courtroom record—to explore duty, mutiny, piracy, and political scandal. Prominent figures include Admiral Benbow, Captain Kidd, and Admiral Byng, with attention to how law, war, and public opinion collide. The opening of the work lists its cases and immediately narrates Admiral Benbow’s career and last action: his rise from merchant captain, the famed Cadiz episode with the brined heads, and the 1702 pursuit of Du Casse in the West Indies, where most of his captains held back while he fought on and was maimed; a French letter praises his bravery and denounces his officers, court-martials in Jamaica condemn Kirby and Wade, and Benbow dies soon after. It then turns to Captain Kidd, who, commissioned to hunt pirates, succumbs to piracy himself, captures the Quedagh Merchant, triggers a political uproar in London, faces a detailed Old Bailey trial where pleas about a French pass and a general pardon fail, and is executed. A third section sketches the bitter soldier–civilian friction after 1688 via two Scottish cases: townsmen who kill Major Menzies after he stabs a town clerk are acquitted, while a writer who fatally wounds a soldier is condemned. The excerpt closes as the Byng chapter begins, outlining his family’s distinction, his service, the Minorca crisis, and ministerial unpreparedness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
