註釋A Narrative of the Expedition to Botany Bay: Large Print By Watkin Tench A Narrative of the Expedition to Botany Bay Watkin Tench Tench was born on 6 October 1758 at Chester in the county of Cheshire in England, a son of Fisher Tench, a dancing master who ran a boarding school in the town and Margaritta Tarleton of the Liverpool Tarletons.[2] Watkin was an uncle to Banastre Tarleton. His father appears to have named Watkin after a wealthy local landowner, Watkin Williams Wynn, whose family probably assisted in starting Tench's military career. Tench joined His Majesty's Marine Forces, Plymouth division, as a Second Lieutenant on 25 January 1776, aged 17. He was promoted to 1st Lieutenant on 25 January 1778 at the age of 19 years and 3 months. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
