Item Details

Description

1780 Voyages TAHITI Patagonia Boats Samuel Wallis Magellan Cavendish Comdr Byron

The best book of its kind!

A rare 1780 printing of La Harpe’s ‘General History of Voyages’. This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by several other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.

According to Sabin, La Harpe’s ‘Voyages’ is

“a work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”

This volume includes some of the most popular voyages of the 18th-century including notes on the voyages of Ferdinand Magellan, John Byron, Samuel Wallis, and Thomas Cavendish! It is illustrated with folding plates of important scenes from these expeditions including

Meeting of Commodore Byron with the Patagonians

View of natives and their huts
