Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of HMS Fly: During the Years 1842–1846 de Joseph Beete Jukes

Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of HMS Fly: During the Years 1842–1846: Cambridge Library Collection - Maritime Exploration

Autor Joseph Beete Jukes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mai 2011
Joseph Beete Jukes (1811–1869) was a geologist who studied at St John's College, Cambridge under Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873) and, after many field expeditions in England, was appointed to a survey of Newfoundland in 1839. In 1841 he joined the H.M.S. Fly as a naturalist for an upcoming expedition to chart the coasts of Australia and New Guinea. He also made some inland investigations on Java before returning to England in 1846. The following year he published this two-volume account of his journey. Blackwood's Magazine described Jukes' work as 'scientific without being abstruse, and picturesque without being extravagant, [Jukes] has made his volumes a striking and graceful addition to our knowledge of countries highly interesting in themselves'. Volume 2 focuses mainly on Java, where Jukes visited sugar and coffee plantations and industrial sites. The appendixes contain vocabulary lists for several indigenous languages, and notes on marine life and snakes.
