A Voyage to New Holland, Etc. in the Year 1699

A Voyage to New Holland, Etc. in the Year 1969 is a biographical travelog about Captain William Dampier's adventures through New Holland. Excerpt: "The favorable reception my two former volumes of voyages and descriptions have already met with in the world gives me a reason to hope that, notwithstanding the objections which have been raised against me by prejudiced persons, this third volume likewise may in some measure be acceptable to candid and impartial readers who are curious to know the nature of the inhabitants, animals, plants, soil, etc. in those distant countries, which have either seldom or not at all been visited by any Europeans."
