EGMONT PAPERS. Vol. CLXXXVII (ff. v+140). Egmont MS. 157. Log-book of H.M.S. 'Dolphin', under the command of Captain Samuel Wallis, on a voyage of discovery in the South Pacific, kept by Robert Molineux al. Molyneux, Mate; 8 July 1766-19 May 1768. Fuller accounts of the voyage are contained in Wallis's journal published by John Hawkesworth in his An Account of the Voyages undertaken by the order of His present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere, 1773, i, pp. 169-350, and in the journal of George Robertson, Master (to 17 Aug. 1767 only) published by H. Carrington as The Discovery of Tahiti (Hakluyt Society, 2nd ser., no. xcviii), 1948. A similar log-book kept by Wallis, covering the period 21 Aug. 1766- 14 Jan. 1767 only, is in Add. MS. 15499, ff. 1-11. At ff. 33b, 34, under the date 17 Dec. 1766, when the ship reached the Straits of Magellan, are entered some general remarks on the voyage up to that point and on the Patagonians. At the beginning of the volume (f. 2) is an unsigned note on the purpose of the expedition written between 20 May 1768 and 20 Mar. 1769 by John, 2nd Lord Egmont, who as First Lord of the Admiralty was responsible for its despatch. This note was printed by Carrington, op. cit., pp. xxvii-xxviii, and by H. M. Wallis, Carteret's Voyage Round the World, 1766-1769, ii (Hakluyt Society, 2nd ser., no. cxxv), 1965, pp. 311-312. Dr. Wallis has also printed two other extracts from the present log-book (ff. 34, 45b), vol. cit., pp. 315 note, 331. Included at ff. 13, 91, 95, 97, 102 are charts chiefly relating to navigational hazards encountered in the voyage. Inserted as ff. iii-v are some late 19th cent. notes on the volume.
