The first section covers the voyages of William Dampier, an English explorer who sailed around the world in the late 17th century. The second section covers the travels of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French merchant who traveled extensively throughout India and Persia in the 17th century.Other sections of the book cover the voyages of James Cook, the famous British explorer who discovered Australia and explored the Pacific Ocean, as well as the travels of John Ledyard, an American explorer who traveled with Cook on his third voyage.The book also contains accounts of travels in Africa, including the travels of Mungo Park, a Scottish explorer who traveled through West Africa in the late 18th century, and the travels of James Bruce, a Scottish explorer who traveled to Ethiopia in the late 18th century.Overall, A Collection of Modern and Contemporary Voyages and Travels Volume 1 is a fascinating collection of historical accounts that provide insight into the exploration and cultural encounters that took place during the 17th and 18th centuries.Containing Translations From Foreign Languages, Of Voyages And Travels Never Before Published.
