Title: A true and impartial journal of a voyage to the South-Seas
and round the globe, in His Majesty's ship the Centurion, under the
command of Commodore George Anson: wherein all the material
incidents during the said voyage, from its commencement in the year
1740 to its conclusion in 1744, are fully and faithfully related,
having been committed to paper at the time they happened: together
with some historical accounts of Chili, Peru, Mexico, and the
empire of China: exact descriptions of such places of note as were
touch'd at: and variety of occasional remarks: to which is added, a
large and general table of longitudes and latitudes, ascertain'd
from accurate observations, or, (where those are wanting) from the
best printed books and manuscripts taken from the Spaniards in this
expedition: also, the variations of the compass throughout the
voyage, and the soundings and depths of water along the different
coasts: and lastly, several curious observations on a comet seen in
the south-seas on the coast of Mexico.Author: Pascoe
