Index *The English language has hitherto been without any popular view of Universal History. It will be immediately confessed, by every competent judge, that Bossuet is at once too short and unsatisfactory; that Voltaire is too gay and desultory; and that the great English Universal History is rather to be consulted like a Dictionary than to be perused as an Analysis of the subject to which it relates. What these writers have not done, has been attempted by the author of the present work. He has been solicitous to avoid the extremes of prolixity and brevity; to be distinct, pleasing, and comprehensive. This work has, therefore, proved a valuable acquisition to young persons, to public schools, to ladies, to circulating libraries, and, in general, to all persons who do not make literature the sole business of their lives, and to whom the Universal History, in sixty-six large volumes, is either too voluminous or too expensive. A GENERAL COLLECTION OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. Uniformly printed in royal 18mo. and completed in twenty-eight handsome and closely printed volumes, price 6s. boards, either of which may be had separate, containing about four hundred pages, embellished and illustrated with upwards of one hundred and fifty large Books published by Sherwood, Neely, and Jones. engravings and maps, price eight guineas, boards; including the most interesting records of Navigators and Travellers, from the discovery of America by Columbus, in the Year 1492, to the travels of Lord Valentia. By WILLIAM MAVOR, LL. D. &c. This new and enlarged Work consists partly of a Reprint of a similar Collection made by the same Author, which has for a considerable time been out of print; and partly of new matter, comprising the Voyages unabridged of Anson, Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and Cook; the Travels unabridged of Addison, Montagu, and Smollet; and of abridgments of many valuable works published subsequently to the appearance of the former Edition, bringing the collection down to the present time. The contents of the several volumes will best illustrate the Nature, Utility, and Value of this new Edition. Vol. 1.
