First published in 1931. 'Hall is the ideal travel-writer. He never
wearies his readers, but makes them love him.' Times Literary
Supplement Basil Hall's Fragments of Voyages and Travels originally
appeared in nine volumes. Miscellaneous in their topics, and
arranged without any order the volumes re-issued here have been
selected for their clarity and interest, both geographical and
historical. Few books give a more graphic picture of the Royal Navy
a century ago and Hall's volumes are full of nautical information.
Hall was also an indefatigable traveller and a keen observer who
learnt Hindustani, Malay and Japanese, studied Hindu mythology,
flora, fauna and geology and compiled the first ever vocabulary of
the language of the Loo Choo Islands.
