'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.
Published in 2000, The Classical Poetry of the Japanese is a
valuable contribution to the field of Asian Studies.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
