General note"Lord Anson ... appears to have entrusted to [Benjamin] Robins for revision the account of the voyage which had been compiled from the journals by ... Richard Walter. There has been considerable dispute as to whether Robins or Walter wrote the book ... It seems probable that Robins revised and edited the work."--Dict. nat. biog., v. 48, p. 435.
