A New Voyage Round the World

A New Voyage Round the World is an autobiographical account by William Dampier of his journeys around the world, first published in 1697. Dampier is believed to have written the account following his return to England, in between further, shorter expeditions he made in later years. Both the initial and subsequent editions of the book were successful. At the behest of his publisher, one later edition, issued in 1699, appended new material entitled: "A Supplement to the Voyage round the World, together with the Voyages to Campeachy and the Discourse on the Trade Winds".[1] Dampier's memoir is "... notable for the frankness of its account of anarchic, mismanaged and largely unsuccessful buccaneering and merchant enterprise."[2]
