Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron, Vol. 2: To the China Seas and Japan, Performed in the Years 1852, 1853, and 1854, Under the Command of Commodore M. C. Perry, United States Navy, by Order of the Government of the United States; With Illustrations In the preparation of this, the second volume of my report, I have continued to keep in view a determination, formed at the outset of the Expedition, of giving full credit to every individual who might contribute to the general stock of information I was desirous of collecting during the progress of my mission; and, in accordance with this intention, an invitation by "General Order" was given to all who might be disposed to aid me in this design. I was well satisfied, and more than once so expressed myself, that if the talents and acquirements of the officers of the navy, serving in various parts of the world, were properly developed, and their labors in pursuit of knowledge duly encouraged and appreciated, a vast amount of interesting and useful information would be constantly added to science. To those who responded to my invitation I again, and finally, tender my thanks; they will find that ample justice has been done to their contributions by the entire publication of their valuable papers. And so in regard to the construction of the charts, and the assistance rendered in the accomplishment of the original surveys by the several officers employed in the hydrographical department. The names of all who mainly contributed to the work have been especially noticed. It is true that I took upon myself the general direction and supervision of the various branches of investigation prosecuted during the cruise, but this should not lessen the obligations I am under to those who so ably aided me in these researches.
