Synopsis
Excerpt from The Discovery of Australia
The explorer's task is indeed an arduous one, oftentimes ill-requited and misrepresented; and those qualities which fit him to face the dangers and endure the fatigue are rarely united with the ready tongue and facile pen.

The Discovery of Australia (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the many voyages of discovery that led to the eventual discovery of Australia. The author considers in depth the question of which European nation should receive credit for this discovery, carefully evaluating the competing claims of Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands. The book also traces the gradual transformation of the vague geographical conception of a vast "southern continent" into the precise delineation of Australia's coastline. The author concludes that no single nation or traveler can be credited with discovering the continent, but rather that it was the cumulative result of many voyages and centuries of exploration. This book is a valuable resource that unravels the mystery of Australia's discovery, providing an engrossing and comprehensive account of this significant chapter in maritime history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
