A true and certaine report
Like Eben-Ezer, I picked this up because I was interested in reading primary sources about the Barbary Corsairs. It's presented in pretty old English, but it's still readable with a lot of guessing what the OCR screwed up. Fun to give it a shot here. But I still enjoyed reading this!
