Book Description
Excerpt from A Directory for the Navigation of the Pacific Ocean, Vol. 1 of 2: With Description of Its Coasts, Islands, From the Strait of Magalhaens to the Arctic Sea, and Those of Asia and Australia; Its Winds, Currents, and Other Phenomena Malte-brun, who has been followed by many others, has proposed the name Great Ocean, or rather that Of Oceanica; but as all authors who have especially written on the subject have used one or other of the former names, they ought to be adopted. Therefore that now best known, the Pacific Ocean, is the one to be used. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
