 [Waxel, Sven](?). Lettre d'un officier de la marine russienne a un 

 Seigneur de la Cour concernant la carte des nouvelles decouvertes au 

 nord de la Mer du Sud, et la memoire qui y sert d'explication, publiee 

 par M. de l'lsle a Paris en 1752. Traduit de l'original russe. Berlin, 

 I7S3- [In this anonymous pamphlet the origin and inception of the 

 Bering expeditions are discussed and exception is taken to J. N. 

 Delisle's statement (see entry on p. 360) that Bering had not 

 reached America. From internal evidence A. W. Greely (p. 222 of 

 paper listed on p. 367) concludes that Sven Waxel was the author. 

 Long quotations from the pamphlet are there given in translation. 

 A careless English translation appeared in London in 1754.] 



Near-Contemporary Accounts of Bering's Expeditions, 

 and Compendiums 



Du Halde, Jean Baptist e. Description geographique, historique, 

 chronologique, politique, et physique de l'empire de la Chine et de 

 la Tartarie chinoise ... 4 vols. The Hague, 1736. [Vol. 4, p. 562, 

 contains Bering's report on his first voyage. In the atlas to accompany 

 Du Halde's work (J. B. B. d'Anville's Nouvel atlas de la Chine, 

 de la Tartarie chinoise et du Thibet, The Hague, 1737) is reproduced 

 Bering's original map of his first voyage. This map, which he made 

 in Moscow in 1731, was presented by the Russian government to 

 the King of Poland, who gave it to the Jesuit father Du Halde. It 

 is from a copy of this map for use in Sweden that our Fig. 5 is repro- 

 duced.]
