FRANK CROWLEY Book Notes BYRONâS JOURNAL OF HIS CIRCUMNAVIGATION 1764-1766. Edited by Robert E. Gallagher. Cambridge, published for the Hakluyt Society by Cambridge University Press. Second Series No. CXXII, 1964. Pp lxxxii f 230. Eighteen plates and two maps. 40/- stg. This is the first accurate publication of Byronâs Journal. Hawkesworthâs Voyages gives the official account of Byronâs journey but contains many inaccuracies and deliberate distortions. Some of these changes may be justified on grounds of economy or style; but others cannot. Hawkesworth made very misleading additions to Byronâs anthropological observations of the Patagonians ; he flattered Byronâs character by omitting his written hope that a following French vessel would run ashore in the Strait of Magellan and by subtly changing remarks about âthese poor savages our friendsâ; and he intruded his own beliefs about the nature of the world by systematically omitting Byronâs references t o God. I n this volume we are given a bibliography, a learned historical introduction and several appendices of supporting documents. The Journal itself is printed from the manuscript in the possession of the National Maritime Museum and aims t o reproduce it as accurately as typography will allow. Original spelling, abbreviations
