London: Printed by Assignment from Messrs. Churchill. For John Walthoe, Tho. Wotton, Samuel Birt (and 4 others),, 1732. A very valuable collection Second, enlarged edition of one of the great voyage collections, originally issued by the brothers Awnsham and John Churchill in four volumes in 1704 with the advice and encouragement of the philosopher John Locke.

The list of subscribers runs to some 102 names, headed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
