The Discovery of the Solomon Islands by Alvaro de Mendana in 1568 V2 is a historical account of the Spanish explorer's journey to the South Pacific in search of the fabled land of Ophir, where King Solomon was said to have obtained his riches. The book, written by Lord Amherst of Hackney, provides a detailed narrative of Mendana's voyage, including his encounters with the native peoples of the Solomon Islands, his struggles with disease and mutiny among his crew, and his eventual return to Spain. The second volume of the book covers Mendana's second expedition to the Solomon Islands in 1595, which was led by his widow, Isabel Barreto, after his death. Lord Amherst's work is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the early exploration of the Pacific and the encounters between European explorers and indigenous peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
