TO THE READER
And All Worthy Adventurers by Sea,
and well wishers to Navigation.
Honest Readers,
If my desire to doe good hathtransported mee beyond my selfe,
I intreat you excuse me, and take for requitall this rude bundle of
many ages observations; although they be not so punctually compiled
as I could wish, and it may bee you expect; At this present I
cannot much amend them; if any will bestow that paines, I shall
thinke him my friend, and honour his endevours. In the interim
accept them as they are, and ponder
will,
Your friend,
John Smith.
