An Historical Collection of the Several Voyages and Discoveries in the South Pacific Ocean

Omtale

These accounts, published in 1770–1 and reissued here in one volume, are of notable Iberian and Dutch voyages in the southern hemisphere. They were translated and edited by Alexander Dalrymple (1737–1808), who became the hydrographer to the Admiralty in 1795. The work includes a chronological table of discoveries since 1501.
