SINCE the manuscript of this Byron journal is owned by the National Maritime Museum, it is only fitting that my thanks, and those of the Hakluyt Society, be given first of all to the Museum for their permission to publish this work. I am also indebted to the Public Record Office, London, the Archives of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Paris, the Dixson Library, Sydney, the British Museum, the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty, and the Hydrographic Office of the U.S. Navy, for the use of their facilities and the permission either to draw upon or to reproduce materials in their files. The copyright in such materials remains their property.

I believe that one owes more thanks to individuals than to institutions. The making of a book is not the result of collecting material, evaluating, and finally presenting it. It is the result of a human relationship in which individuals go out of their way to give the author or editor assistance, encouragement, and advice.

Since it would be impossible for me to name all those to whom I owe a debt of gratitude, I should like to mention specifically Professor Geoffrey Tillotson of Birkbeck College in the University of London, Dr Helen Wallis of the Map Room of the British Museum, Mr R. A. Skelton, the honorary Secretary of the Hakluyt Society and the Superintendent of the Map Room of the British Museum, Mr G. P. B. Naish of the National Maritime Museum, Miss Katherine Lindsay-MacDougall, who was on the staff of the National Maritime Museum when I was working there, and Mr E. K. Timings, Assistant Keeper in the Public Record Office. The help which each of these people gave me was so extensive and was given over such a long period of time that it would be impossible to state just what this volume owes to each of them.

I should also like to thank Mr Peter J. J. Kosiba for reading the early drafts of my Introduction and for making many valuable suggestions, Mrs Vera s, Thale for assisting in the arduous chore of checking the typescript against the photostats of the original manuscript, Mr Waiter J. Fromm for helping to prepare the typescript for the printer, Miss Janet D. Mine for making the arrangements regarding the illustrations from the Dixson Library, and Mr James A. Friberg for changing my rough sketches into maps worthy of reproduction.
