tailieunhanh - THE PART BORNE BY THE DUTCH IN THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA 1606-1765

In writing my biography of Tasman, forming part of Messrs. Frederik Muller and Co.'s edition of the Journal of Tasman's celebrated voyage of discovery of 1642-1643, I was time and again struck by the fact that the part borne by the Netherlanders in the discovery of the continent of Australia is very insufficiently known to the Dutch themselves, and altogether misunderstood or even ignored abroad. | 1 HE PART BORNE BY THE DUTCH IN THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA 1606 1765 THE PART BORNE BY THE DUTCH IN THE DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA 1606-1765.
