Two Original Journals of Sir Richard Granville is a historical book written by Sir Richard Granville himself in 1724. The book is a compilation of two separate journals kept by Granville during his travels to the Mediterranean and the West Indies. The first journal covers Granville's voyage to the Mediterranean in 1707, where he served as a naval officer in the British Royal Navy. The journal details his experiences during the journey, including encounters with pirates and battles with French and Spanish ships. Granville also provides an account of his time spent on land, exploring various cities and meeting with local officials.The second journal covers Granville's time in the West Indies, where he served as the Governor of Barbados from 1708 to 1711. In this journal, he provides a detailed account of his administration of the colony, including his efforts to improve the economy and the lives of the people living there. He also describes his interactions with the indigenous people and the challenges he faced in governing the colony.Overall, Two Original Journals of Sir Richard Granville offers a unique perspective on the history of the British Empire in the 18th century, as well as insights into the life and experiences of one of its key figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
