Overview

This pamphlet, ""A Letter To The Editor Of The Quarterly Review, For [oct. 1822], On [the Poyais Bubble]: A Review Of Captain Strangeway's Sketch Of The Mosquito Shore,"" critiques a review of Captain Strangeway's work. The author, writing under the pseudonym Verax, likely aims to expose inaccuracies or biases in the original review, particularly as it relates to the infamous Poyais scheme. The Poyais Bubble refers to a large-scale investment fraud perpetrated by Gregor MacGregor, who claimed to be the Cazique of Poyais, a fictional Central American country. This historical document offers insight into early 19th-century perceptions of Central America and the speculative financial climate that allowed the Poyais scheme to flourish. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of the Mosquito Coast and the dangers of investment schemes.
