The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century

Jules Verne has invented so many tales of adventure that he is quite at home when he comes to chronicle the wonderful feats of exploration which testify that truth is stranger than fiction. The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century is the second volume in his work Celebrated Travels and Travelers. It is profusely illustrated and has many maps. The period it deals with is less prolific in wonderful discoveries, but fuller information is accessible concerning those which were made. The voyages of Captain Cook and his predecessors, the exploits of the French navigators and the early African explorations, fill a large portion of the space. Separate chapters are also given to discoveries in Asia and North and South America.
