 History, vol. 1, pp. 64-94.

 the voyage published in French at Amsterdam in 1602. An account 

 of the voyage in English is given in Purchas, His Pilgrimes, vol. 1,

ANSON. No book ever met with more favorable reception than 

 Lord Anson's Voyage Round the World, which, though printed under 

 the name of his chaplain, Richard Walter, was composed by Benjamin 

 Robbins, under the inspection of Anson himself. During his visit to 

 the group, in 1742, Anson gleaned much interesting information 

 regarding the island of Guam, its inhabitants, and its products. His 

 geographical, hydrographic, and botanical descriptions are remarkably 

 accurate and exceedingly interesting, though his picture of the island 

 of Tinian is perhaps a little too highly colored.
