William Dampier (1652 - 1715) was an English explorer, pirate, privateer, navigator, and naturalist who became the first Englishman to explore parts of what is today Australia, and the first person to circumnavigate the world three times. He has also been described as Australia's first natural historian, as well as one of the most important British explorers of the period between Francis Drake (16th century) and James Cook (18th century). After impressing the Admiralty with his book A New Voyage Round the World (1697), Dampier was given command of a Royal Navy ship and made important discoveries in western Australia, before being court-martialled for cruelty. On a later voyage he rescued Alexander Selkirk, a former crewmate who may have inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Others influenced by Dampier include James Cook, Horatio Nelson, Charles Darwin, and Alfred Russel Wallace. Books by Dampier include: A New Voyage Round the World (1697), Voyages and Descriptions (1699), A Voyage to New Holland (1703), A Supplement of the Voyage Round the World (1705), The Campeachy Voyages (1705), A Discourse of Winds (1705), A Continuation of a Voyage to New Holland (1709). James Alexander Williamson (1886 - 1964) was a prominent English writer on maritime history and expert on the John Cabot voyages. He also wrote many other books on explorers, exploration and discovery. 266pp. DJ clipped, no inscriptions. [see image scan of actual book], The Argonaut Press, 1939, 2.75<
