""A Narrative Of A Survey Of The Intertropical And Western Coasts Of Australia V2"" is a historical book written by Phillip Parker King, an English navigator and surveyor. The book is a detailed account of King's survey of the intertropical and western coasts of Australia, which he conducted between 1817 and 1822. The book is divided into chapters, each of which describes King's experiences during his survey. He describes the natural features of the coast, including the landscape, flora, and fauna. He also provides information on the indigenous people he encountered during his voyage and their customs and traditions. The book is richly illustrated with maps, charts, and drawings of the coast, as well as the people and animals King encountered. It also includes appendices with additional information on the survey, such as meteorological observations and a list of the plants and animals collected during the voyage. Overall, ""A Narrative Of A Survey Of The Intertropical And Western Coasts Of Australia V2"" is a valuable historical document that provides a first-hand account of the exploration of Australia's coast in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
