= Without the later and separately published "Reystogt (...) na Nieuw Holland (...) in 't jaar 1699" (publ. in 1704). Tiele 290; Sabin 18385; Van Eeghen 421; Van Eeghen/ Van der Kellen 342; Klaversma/ Hannema 421 (first part); Borba de Moraes p.242; Cat. NHSM p.135; Henze II, p.10; cf. Cox I, p.42f, Howgego D7 and Hill 417 (listing the ed. London 1697). "Of the famous group of buccaneers that tormented the Spaniards in the 'South Sea' from 1680 to 1720, Dampier was the best known and probably the most intelligent. His industry in taking careful notes of everything he saw was equalled by his assiduous pains in preserving them from destruction. (...) Concerning the problem of Australia being a continent, Dampier says that "It is not yet determined whether it is an Island or a Main Continent; but I am certain that it joyns neither to Asia, Africa, nor America." It is evident that on his first visit he knew nothing of what Tasman had discovered; but on his second expedition he used one of Tasman's charts." (Cox). "In the account of his first voyage to New Holland, Dampier drew a graphic and most repulsive image of the aborigine: "The Inhabitants of this Country are the miserablest People in the world. The Hodmadods of Monomatapa, though a nasty People, yet for Wealth are Gentlemen to these; who have no Houses and skin Garments. Sheep, Poultry and Fruits of the Earth, Ostrich Eggs, etc. as the Hodmadods have: and setting aside their Humane Shape, they differ but little from Brutes." (Smith, p.169).
