Buccaneers, Explorers and Settlers
Buccaneers, Castaways, and Satirists
In the seventeenth century and for much of the eighteenth, cartographers found difficulty in deciding just where to place sections of Terra Australis Incognita — as a continuation of South America or an appendage to the East Indies. Along that remote Pacific sea-board, English buccaneers and traders hoped to find a way of tapping the silver lifeline of Spanish America. By 1684 many of Sharp's old shipmates, including Dampier and Wafer, were back …
"The Common Center of we Discoverers" Sir Joseph Banks, Exploration and Empire in the Late 18th Century
Whatever the aura of prestige which surrounded Sir Joseph Banks in the multifarious activities of his middle and later careers, for some he always remained the “Mr Banks” who had sailed with James Cook on the Endeavour voyage. Banks's thinking about the Pacific at this time was clearly influenced by his first-hand experience on the Endeavour voyage, but also by the discoveries of Cook's third voyage, of which he had early sight as he helped to pr…

"Terra Australis" to Australia
Ever since classical times, when men first imagined a great continent in the southern hemisphere, the idea of Terra Australis has kept a firm hold on European imaginations. This volume gives a comprehensive history of the various theories and speculations that occupied the minds of Europeans, and describes the expeditions and discoveries achieved by British, Portuguese and Dutch explorers.

The Great Map of Mankind
In 1777 Edmund Burke remarked that for his contemporaries Great Map of Mankind is unrolled at once. The period from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth century had seen a massive increase in Britain's knowledge of the non-European peoples of the wider world, and this was reflected in the proliferation of travel accounts of every kind. This is a history of British perceptions of the exotic peoples and lands of Asia, North Ame…

The Hudson's Bay Company and its critics in the eighteenth century
As the Hudson's Bay Company prepares to celebrate its tercentenary it is not mere academic perverseness which prompts a paper on a period in the Company's history when it was threatened with extinction. Longevity has its own fascination, and crucial in the story of the Company's growth into one of the great business enterprises of the modern world was its survival amid the bitter criticism directed at chartered companies in the eighteenth century…
