A Book of Discovery

A Book of Discovery is a fascinating account of the world’s famous explorers, including…

• The early travelers in ancient times
• The discovery of the New World
• Explorations in Africa and Australia
• The expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic

Many of the explorers tell part of their story in their own words. Amply illustrated with reproductions of early maps and charts, as well as old woodcuts, drawings, paintings, and miniatures.

Emphasis is placed on the explorers’ “record of splendid endurance, of hardships bravely borne, of silent toil, of courage and resolution unequalled in the annals of mankind, of self-sacrifice unrivalled and faithful lives laid ungrudgingly down.”
