The Hakluyt Society will mark the bicentenary with the publication of the two-volume Australia Circumnavigated: The Journal of HMS Investigator, 1801 - 1803, edited by Dr Kenneth Morgan. Captain Michael Barritt, President of The Hakluyt Society and Dr Morgan will launch this remarkable work, which brings together for the first time Matthew Flinders' Investigator journals and his Memoir, which he wrote to accompany his journals and charts. These are among the most important primary texts in Australian maritime history and European voyaging in the Pacific. This edition also features a substantial introduction, complemented with photographic excerpts from Flinders' survey sheets, maps of the voyage, and illustrations of the botanical and artistic work undertaken.
