A VOYAGE TO THE 



outfit *. The novelty of this enterprife attraded the no- 

 tice of feveral perfons, who were eminent either for talents 

 or flation, and who promoted this voyage by their counte- 

 nance, or ftrengthened the company by their approbation. 

 When Sir Jofeph Banks and Lord Mulgrave, Mr. Rofe and 

 Sir John Dick, came on board, the Secretary of the Trea« 

 fury named the largeft vefTel The King George^ and the 

 Prefident of the Royal Society called the fmalleft The 

 ^een Charlotte. Exclufive of the profits of traffic, or 

 the advantages of difcovery, this voyage was dellined to 

 other national objeds. Several gentlemen's fons, who had 

 fhewn an inclination to engage in a feafaring life, were 

 put under my care, for the purpofe of being early initiated 

 in the knowledge of a profeffion which requires length of 

 experience, rather than fupereminence of genius f. I at
