A New Voyage Round the World in the Years 1823 - 1826

Auszug

The flattering requisitions of those readers who found amusement in the
narrative of my former voyage, independently of its scientific details, form
an incentive to my present publication. All mere nautical minutiæ, which
might be deemed tedious, with the exception of such as were indispensable,
have been omitted. Various contingencies have delayed the appearance of
these Volumes; but I still hope they will not have altogether lost the charm
of novelty.
