Two colored and 12 tinted lithographs. An account, both serious and comic, of a six and a half year voyage around the world. The author, who remains stubbornly anonymous and fails to give the name of his ship, spent some time in the Pacific, visiting California, the Hawaiian Islands, etc. I imagine the edition was small for the book is very scarce. Other than a listing in the Soliday Catalogue, I can find no reference in any bibliography of Americana.
