Meer info
Volume 20 of the Histoire Universelle des Voyages, containing the voyages of captain Benjamin Morrell in the Atlantic and the Southern Ocean. Reviewed and translated by Albert-Montémont.
8vo (21,5x13,5 cm), 452 pp. With 2 colored full page plates. Bound in quarter leather with marbled boards and end papers. Gilt tooled and lettered spine.
Condition: Good+ with light abrasions and worn edges. Red stamp on title page (from the library of the French sculptor Pierre Cheure, 1952-2015).
Benjamin Morrell (1795-1839) was an American captain and explorer. In A Narrative of Four Voyages, which describes his sea-going life between 1823 and 1832, Morrell included numerous claims of discovery and achievement, many of which have been disputed by geographers and historians, and in some cases have been proved false. Despite this reputation Morrell has been defended by some later commentators who, while questioning his general reliability, maintain that not all his life was fraud and exaggeration.
