Dalton, William (Niel Gunson ed.)
xii 140 pages, bibliography, index. A clean, unmarked and solid copy which appears unread. No dust wrapper as issued. The Dalton Journals "... is a rare British account of whaling South Seas, afield much dominated by the preponderance of American journals; it provides an interesting eyewitness account of... Captain Cook's death recalled by a group of elderly Hawaiian; it records the discoveries of Phoenix Island & Canton Island ...and most importantly ... the opening of the Pacific to missionaries [and to] European settlement and to commercial exploitation.'
