1 now come to my laft proof, which I received from the late 

 Dr. Campbell, the able continuator and revifer of Harris's Col- 

 lection of Voyages. 



In that very valuable compilation, Commodore Roggewein's 

 circumnavigation makes a moll material addition, fome of the 

 moff. interefting particulars of which were communicated by Dr. 

 Dallie, who was a native of Holland f , and lived in Racquet- 

 court, Fleet-ftreet, about the year 1745, where he practifed 

 phyfick. 



Dr. Campbell went to thank Dallie for the having furnimed 

 him with Roggewein's voyage, when Dallie faid that he had been 

 further both to the Southward and to the Northward than per- 

 haps any other perfon who ever exifted. 



He then explained himfelf as to the having been in high 

 Southern latitudes, by failing in Roggewein's fleet s ; and as to 

 his having been far to the Northward, he gave the following 

 account : 



Between fifty and fixty years ago it was ufual to fend a Dutch 

 fhip of war to fuperintend the Greenland fifhery, though it is not 

 known whether this continues to be a regulation at prefent. 



Dr. Dallie (then young) was on board the Dutch veflel em- 

 ployed on this fervice h ; and during the interval between the two 

 filheries, the Captain determined, like Mr. Mac-Callam, to try 

 whether he could not reach the Pole, and accordingly penetrated 

 (to the beft of Dr. Campbell's recollection) as far as N. lat. 88, 

 when the weather was warm, the fea perfectly free from ice, and 



f He was a grandfon of Dallie, who was author of a book, much 

 efteemed by the Divines, intitled " De Ufu Patrum" 



2 Roggewein reached, S. lat. 62 0 30'. See Harris. 



h Dr. Campbell does not recollect in what capacity he ferved ; but, as 

 he afterwards practifed phyfick, he might probably have been the 

 furgeon.
