The Author has been encouraged by the reception given to The Romance of Modern Exploration to write a companion volume on the adventures of early travelers and explorers. For conveniences’ sake the period covered ends at A.D. 1600, a date sufficiently advanced to permit mention of the first polar expeditions in which English navigators played so important a part.
