"Sir Hovenden Walker was the naval commander of the great expe-
dition against Canada, which sailed from Boston, N. E., in the
summer of 1711; but which proved a complete failure, owing to
the unskilfulness of the pilots, by which eight ships and nearly one
thousand men were lost in the river St. Lawrence. Great blame
was attached to Sir Hovenden, and he published this account in his
own vindication."-Nichols' Lit. Anecdotes.
