Inhoud:

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This compilation by R.H. Major (published 1859) brings together various manuscript and published sources which provide a picture of European exploration in the Southern Ocean in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
