Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cruise of the Marchesa to Kamschatka New Guinea: With Notices of Formosa, Liu-Kiu, and Various Islands of the Malay Archipelago
To attempt individually to thank the numerous friends who helped and welcomed us in our wanderings would indeed be a herculean task. Within the limits of a preface it would be an impossibility. English hospitality has become proverbial, but the traveller finds that it is cosmopolitan, flourishing beneath the Equator just as freely as in the British Isles, dispensed indifferently by European and Asiatic. Should they read these lines, I hope that those at whose hands we received it will accept our most hearty thanks.
