  • 1820 - 1821

Samuel Greatheed (d.1823) was one of the founders of the London Missionary Society. This work, written under the pen-name Nausistratus, was published as a series of articles in the Sailor's Magazine and Naval Miscellany, London, 1820-21, Vol.1, p. 402-6 and 449-56, and Vol.2, p. 1-8. It deals with the Bounty mutiny and its aftermath.

The work is based on printed sources, the then-unpublished journal of James Morrison of the Bounty, and verbal communications from an officer of HMS Pandora, which was sent to the Pacific to find and arrest the Bounty mutineers. It includes a number of details not published elsewhere. For a brief account of Greatheed's interest in Bounty matters, see Rolf Du Rietz's Note sur l'Histoire des Manuscrits de James Morrison in Journal de James Morrison, Paris, 1966.
