Beskrivelse af A Voyage Round The World, In The Years 1740-44 (1853)
A Voyage Round The World, In The Years 1740-44 is a historical account written by George Anson, an English naval officer and commander, detailing his journey around the world from 1740 to 1744. The book was first published in 1748 and later republished in 1853. In this book, Anson describes his experiences as the leader of a naval expedition that set out to disrupt Spanish trade routes during the War of Jenkins' Ear. The journey was fraught with challenges, including storms, disease, and battles with the Spanish navy. Anson's account provides a detailed description of the places he visited, including South America, the Pacific Ocean, and the Philippines. He also shares his observations on the customs and cultures of the people he encountered during his travels. The book is an important historical document that offers a firsthand account of the naval and military tactics used during the 18th century. It is also a fascinating travelogue that provides insight into the challenges and adventures of a long and perilous journey around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
