EXPEDITIONS IN THE PACIFIC AND THE SOUTH SEAS" (pages 23-458) and "PART II. EXPEDITION TO THE DEAD SEA AND THE RIVER JORDAN" (pages 460-517). The book obviously owes much to NARRATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION. DURING THE YEARS 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842 by Charles Wilkes and NARRATIVE OF THE EXPEDITION TO THE RIVER JORDAN AND THE DEAD SEA by William F. Lynch but, as author John S. Jenkins states in his Preface, his efforts are not "an abridgement of the published narratives of Messrs. Wilkes and Lynch . . . [but] will be found to contain a very large proportion of facts not embraced in either of them." Jenkins credits a plethora of other sources including Jules Sebastien Cesar Dumont d'Urville (presumably his VOYAGE DE LA CORVETTE L'ASTROLABE), Sir John Ross (A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY, MADE UNDER THE ORDERS OF THE ADMIRALTY, IN HIS MAJESTY'S SHIPS ISABELLA AND ALEXANDER), POLYNESIAN RESEARCHES by William Ellis, HISTORY OF THE INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO by John Crawfurd, among many others.
