Notes
-
Editor's Introduction: ...It was a particular kind of man who sought the distant corners of the world when the world's main interest was concentrated around the North Atlantic; and it was this kind of man who lent his character to his successors...For himself and his descendents he evolved a personal reaction to the world, and, in my contention, a personal kind of adventure. His is the story I have tried to concentrate upon.(pp.7-17).
