[24] 300 [i.e., 302] [18] p., and 10 engraved plates and 5 folding engraved maps and charts. First edition of this important contemporary account of an early circumnavigation of the globe. Written by William Funnell, who served as First Mate to Captain William Dampier on the ship St. George. The voyage took three years, started as a privateering adventure, organized by Dampier to plunder Spanish vessels and coastal towns in South America as actions of the War of the Spanish Succession. However, due to Dampier's poor leadership and a result of a mutiny, the Captain was left in Amapalla Bay, and Funnell with the remaining crew completed the circumnavigation. Funnel compiled his account of the events and published them in the present book. He provides a detailed account of the entire voyage, a critique of Dampier's captaincy, excellent descriptions of the west coast of the Americas, and the Dutch East Indies, illustrated with five maps and a set of almost forty fascinating plates depicting curious specimens, and landforms.

Botham for James Knapton, "It was Funnell, not Dampier, who really circumnavigated the globe on this voyage, as Dampier proceeded only as far as the South Seas. The purpose of the expedition was to harass the Spaniards and take plunder from vessels and towns in South America. Its failure was due to the differences that arose between them. Funnell arrived in England before Dampier and seized the opportunity to compose a relation of his voyage: a task for which he was poorly qualified. His narrative contained much that was disapproved of by Dampier, who immediately after published a Vindication of his voyage, pointing out the misrepresentations of Funnell" (Hill).   Funnell accompanied William Dampier as an officer on his second circumnavigation, aboard the 26-gun ship St George. Much in the style of Dampier, his account is replete with observations on natural history and augmented with charming engravings of flora and fauna.    Hill, 664; Sabin, 26213; ESTC T52634.
