so correct verbally, is more justly made. There is a third
class of voyages thus denominated, which, though they embrace the four
quarters of the globe, do not extend to the South Sea, or the
Australasian Lands. All these three classes are comprehended in the
following catalogue, and we have deemed it right also to follow the
author of the Bibliotheque in dividing them into two parts, ancient
voyages round the world, and modern voyages: the first comprehend
voyages of the first class, and were performed from the middle of the
sixteenth to the middle of the seventeenth century.
