Book Description
Excerpt from The Log-Book of William Adams, 1614-19: With the Journal of Edward Saris, and Other Documents Relating to Japan, Cochin China, Etc Adams's log-book (now Savile ms. 48 in the Bodleian Library) consists of seventy-nine leaves, measuring 1454 X 1071; inches. It is in three sections, of which the first, containing the record of the voyage to the Riu Kiu Islands, is on smooth Japanese paper, the writing being neat with fine strokes. The paper of the second section is also Japanese but rather porous, and the writing in consequence is larger and not so neat. The paper of the third section resembles that of the first, but the writing continues as in the second section. Rough calculations of expenses and loans as well as nautical observations, scattered about the ms., show that it is Adams's original diary and not a copy. His name does not occur in the log, but the writing is similar to that of his letters. Two small outline drawings, one of a burning island near, the Riu Kiu Islands and the other of the southern portion of the Goto Islands, illustrate the text. The ms. Seems to have been unbound till about 1900, when it was put into Cloth boards. How it came into the possession of Sir Henry Savile, whose collection was bequeathed to the University of Oxford, is' unknown. The other documents printed as appendixes are for the most part preserved in the India Office Library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
