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.
