S. Navy during World War 2. He brings a sailor's knowledge and experience to all his books on voyages and discovery "has made transatlantic voyages under sail and coasted the eastern shores of the United States and Canada; and in preparation for this book Northern Voyages he flew at low altitude in a small plane from Maine to Labrador around the Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the North Carolina Outer Banks. These personal investigations have allowed him to identify almost every place mentioned by the discoverers." From the DJ for Southern Voyages: "Admiral Morison personally retraced the routes of the explorers he writes about including every part of Magellan's voyage which forms the core of the book." He had previously in the 1930s sailed the routes taken by Columbus in his four voyages in the cases where records survived to recreate them. Fits in medium flat-rate box.

Translated by the author from his La quinzaine angloise à Paris first published the previous year. Rutledge was the grandson of an Irish Jacobite who settled in France and son of Walter Rutledge a banker and ship owner at Dunkirk who assisted the Pretender in his expedition of 1715 and in consequence was named a baronet. "This sketch which depicts the rapidity with which a ‘plunger’ may be reduced to destitution by the harpies of Paris and purports to be a posthumous work by Sterne to whose works it bears no sort of resemblance . . . The writer states that attempts had been made to suppress the work in Paris. A species of sequel entitled ‘Le Second Voyage de milord ——’ appeared in 1779." DNB N. B.
