"A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels — Volume 07" by Robert Kerr is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive series that chronicles the evolution of navigation, discovery, and commerce by sea and land throughout different eras, beginning from ancient times to the modern period, specifically reflecting the Portuguese expeditions and their interactions in Asia and beyond. The book likely covers a range of notable voyages, interactions with indigenous populations, and the cultural exchanges that occurred during these travels. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed recounting of various expeditions undertaken by the Portuguese, beginning with an expedition from India to Madagascar in 1613. It outlines the objectives of this particular voyage, such as re-establishing contact with stranded countrymen and promoting the Christian faith among local tribes. The narrative introduces the reader to the geography and demographics of Madagascar, describing the island’s numerous kingdoms and its diverse inhabitants. As the Portuguese venture further, the text provides rich observations about local customs, political structures, and the challenges faced during their explorations, all of which hint at a broader saga of colonial endeavors and cross-cultural encounters.
