Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions.  a"A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels — Volume 14" by Robert Kerr is a historical collection crafted in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on the significant voyages made in an attempt to explore the Southern Hemisphere, particularly those led by Captain James Cook, detailing the era's maritime endeavors and discoveries during the 18th century.  The opening of the book sets the stage for an account of Cook's voyage towards the South Pole, outlining the scientific and exploratory motivations behind the expedition. It describes the extensive planning and preparations made for the voyage, including the equipment of two ships, the Resolution and the Adventure, and the careful selection of crew members tasked with gathering important scientific observations. This introduction emphasizes the historical context of exploration prompted by previous navigators, highlighting both the challenges and the ambitions that fueled such journeys into the largely uncharted southern seas.
