Excerpt from Narrative of the Circumnavigation of the Globe, Vol. 1: By the Austrian Frigate Novara, (Commodore B. Von Wullerstorf-Urbair, ) Undertaken by Order of the Imperial Government, in the Years 1857, 1858,& 1859, Under the Immediate Auspices of His I. And R. Highness the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, Commander-in-C While preparing the details of our voyage for publication in my own language, the idea perpetually presented itself that a translation of this narrative into English might prove not unacceptable to the British public. And although fully aware that a voyage round the globe, in the course of which little more than the coasts were visited of the various countries we touched at, could not pretend to offer much new information to the greatest of maritime nations, it seemed, nevertheless, that it might interest a people so eager in the pursuit of knowledge as the English, to know the impression which has been made upon travellers of education by the Colonies and Settlements of Britain through, out the world.
