Hydrographer to the Admiralty from 1795, Dalrymple produced this work as part of his research into the belief at the time that there existed an undiscovered continent in the South Pacific. These volumes were intended to demonstrate the knowledge of the region to date. The first volume covers sixteenth-century Spanish and Portuguese voyages, beginning with Ferdinand Magellan and including those of Juan Fernández, Álvaro de Mendaña y Neira and Pedro Fernandes de Queirós. The second volume contains the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch voyages of Jacob Le Mair and Willem Schouten, Abel Tasman and Jacob Roggeveen. This volume also contains a chronological table of discoveries in the southern hemisphere since 1501.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Monthly review for May, 1769\u003cbr\u003e Data on which the chart of the South Seas was formed\u003cbr\u003e Of the Salomon Islands\u003cbr\u003e Account of some natural curiosities at Sooloo\u003cbr\u003e An enquiry into the formation of islands\u003cbr\u003e An historical collection of the several voyages in the south Pacific Ocean, Spanish\u003cbr\u003e An historical collection of the several voyages in the south Pacific Ocean, Dutch\u003cbr\u003e Omissions\u003cbr\u003e Conduct of the discoverers\u003cbr\u003e What may be further expected in the south sea\u003cbr\u003e Vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e A chronological table of discoveries\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Australasian \u0026amp; Pacific history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Australasian \u0026amp; Pacific history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Australasian%20\u0026amp;%20Pacific%20history%20%5BHBJM%5D%22\"\u003eHBJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266167427352,"sku":"9781108069472","price":45.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108069472i_d64da5c2-8719-42c1-a117-630ced5adeb3.jpg?v=1696748757","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/an-historical-collection-of-the-several-voyages-and-discoveries-in-the-south-pacific-ocean-paperback-9781108069472","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
