Book Description
This book is the record of the 5th meeting of the Truthseekers Club, where a Stephen Gray spoke about the sinking of Sir Humphrey Gilbert's frigate the Squirrel off the coast of the Azores after claiming Newfoundland for the British. Gilbert was said to have been reading a book on deck in the storm before the ship sank, and shouted something to the crew of the Hind, creating much speculation as to which book he had been reading. Many said it was either the Bible or Sir Thomas More's Utopia; Gray was of the opinion it was the latter, and his evidence to support that position was included in his address.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sir Humphrey Gilbert: A Record A Surmise This short essay, coup de plume, might we call it? - demands perhaps a word of introduction. It is, or purports to be, culled from the transactions of a society of Truth-seekers, the Zetetical Society, to give it the style, selected with much care by a group of students, once upon a time. Let us leave it at that, in respect of the framework in which the argument is set, since fact or make-believe as to the setting is immaterial, when compared with the subject matter which is presented; that indeed springs from the solid ground of recorded fact, and, when it leaves that ground and in its flight takes the realm of surmise, the drift, the objective of the argument is always the real - let us hope that it finds. The essay therefore would be regarded and judged, not as a random cast of fancy, but as the serious endeavour of one who would still like to count himself a Truth seeker and once again a member of the Zetetical Society - "Sed revocare gradum..".
