Seven Legs Across the Seas: A Printer's Impressions of Many Lands

A printer recounts a world-spanning travel memoir divided into sequential legs, beginning with ocean passages and routine shipboard incidents and proceeding through South America, southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, the South Sea islands, East Africa and Uganda, India and Ceylon, Southeast and East Asia, and the Hawaiian Islands. He offers on-the-ground descriptions of cities, landscapes, native customs, colonial society and labor, wildlife and natural wonders such as great falls and mountains, plus practical travel notes, human-interest anecdotes, and moments of shipboard ritual and local color.
