Preface
. The flattering requisitions of those readers who found amusement in the narrative of my former voyage, independently of its scientific details, form an incentive to my present publi cation. All mere nautical minutiæ, which might be deemed tedious, with the exception of such as were indispensable, have been omitted. Va rious contingencies have delayed the appearance of these Volumes; but I still hope they will not have altogether lost the charm of novelty. With respect to my style, I rely upon the favour formerly shewn me. Devoted from my earliest youth to the sea-service, I have had no leisure for cultivating the art of authorship.
