A brief and fluid account, it gives highlights of the voyage, including the birth of a child in steerage class and the sighting of several whales.

Contemporary half calf and patterned boards. Boards warped and dampstained, paper peeling, spine and extremities rubbed and chipped. Hinges and gutter split, some leaves loose, text lightly smudged and soiled. Fair.
