Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chronological History of the Voyages and Discoveries in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean, Vol. 2: From the Year 1579, to the Year 1620 Some Observations which have been made, on the First Volume of this History, render it necessary for me to explain to the Reader the method which has been pursued in adducing the authorities throughout the work; and to remark, that. From the attention which I have constantly fliewn to original docu ments, it ought not to be inferred that I have neglected to' examine modern collections. These are not admissible as evi dence to early facts: but in matters of opinion, and for inter pretation of passages in the old narratives, it will be found that writers of late date have been consulted with much advantage. To each voyage is prefixed, either In a note or as an intro ductory remark, a short account of the original journals or early publications; and those which have been followed are specified. By this general notice is obviated the necessity of interrupting the narrative with too great a frequency of notes of reference. In all the geographical facts the particular authority is invariably pointed out, and the same rule has been observed in every case Where the nature of the fact or the veracity of the original account appeared doubtful. I have been faithful to my autho rities, but have no where departed from the respect due to truth, by negligently suffering to pass With silent acquiescence any representation that might impress the reader with a belief which I did not myself entertain. In relating circumstances of suspi cions credit, the original authors are called on to speak for themselves, and to their accounts such remarks are added as may assist to remove doubts. On many occasions I have cited the words of an original journal for another reafon, and have adopted them in the narrative in preference to any others which occurred. The words of an eye-witness, flowing naturally from first impressions, are frequently more expressive, and convey ideas more just than studied descriptions} though the language may often be fuch. As it would scarcely be allowable in other persons to write. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1806 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain James Burney (1750–1821), the son of the musicologist Dr Charles Burney and brother of the novelist Fanny Burney, was a well-travelled sailor, best known for this monumental compilation of voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean. After joining the navy in 1764, he sailed on Cook's second voyage between 1772 and 1774, and was also present on the ill-fated third voyage. He retired from the navy in 1784 and turned to writing works on exploration. These volumes, published between 1803 and 1817, and regarded as the standard work on the subject for much of the nineteenth century, contain collected accounts of European voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean between 1492 and 1764. Burney provides summaries of Spanish, Dutch and English accounts, which include descriptions of voyages to China, Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia. These volumes also encompass voyages to California and the Western coast of America, Mexico, Peru, Chile and other Central and South American destinations -- including islands in the vicinity of these locations, such as the Galapagos archipelago. While the main focus is on exploration in the Pacific some content includes Atlantic content covering the Falkland Islands, Patagonia and the West Indies.
