Hill p. 101, describing the first edition of 1833, which had just 5 plates: Captain Fanning of Stonington, Connecticut, sailed for the South Seas in 1792, on a voyage for sealskins, and during the next 25 years made voyages to the Pacific and around the world, visiting Australia, the desolate lands of South Georgia, and the islanders of Fiji, Tonga and the Marquesas. He discovered several islands, including one that still bears his name, lying 1200 miles south of Honolulu. Included is an account of the first American naval exploring expedition to the southern hemisphere, 1829-30, sponsored by the U. S. government and commanded by Benjamin Pendleton." Fanning island figured prominently in a famous murder trial, written up by lawyer Vincent Bugliosi, 'And the Sea Will Tell'. See Howes F28 for first edition. 'One of the most interesting of all the early voyages made by Americans that have been published and that it deserves a wide acquaintance among those who would learn of the adventurours courage that led the Yankee sailor to set his course in every sea' (prospectus).

The splendid coral reefs of Mayalibit Bay, limestone mountains and formations, a wealth of exotic vegetation, mangrove swamps, fauna and reptilia are but a few features examined. On the volcanic Mount Nok she set up camp, where she interacted with native inhabitants of small villages, remarking on their language, education, and on previous feuds with "Bush Tribes.'

In the tropical forests for six months, many samples were acquired, and a remarkable storm was documented.
