George Shelvocke : Voyage Round the World by the Way of the Great South Sea, Performed in the Years 1719-1722
'As W[ordsworth] recalled in the Fenwick Note to We are Seven ... his reading of Shelvocke's Voyages inspired the killing of the albatross in C[oleridge]'s Ancient Mariner. W[ordsworth] dates this reading "a day or two before" the walking tour to Lynton - which would make it c.11-12 November 1797.'

'We took Beroe incrassata, Medusa limpidissima, plicata and obliquata, Alcyonium anguillare (probably the thing that Shelvoke mentions in his "Voyage Round the World" p. 60), and A. frustrum, Ulva intestinalis, and Corallina officinalis.'
