Churchill for Henry Lintot and John Osborn, 1744-1747 (8) "A very valuable collection, both for its range of coverage and for the fact that it gives the original accounts... the third edition is considered to be best because of its greater inclusiveness and its copious index... [and inclusion of] the rare two volumes known as the Harleian Voyages, compiled from Lord Oxford's library by Thomas Osborne, which are considered supplements to the Churchill's collections" (Hill).
