| Summary | "A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels, Volume 17" by Robert Kerr is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume serves as part of a comprehensive exploration of navigation, discovery, and commerce throughout history, focusing on the Sandwich Islands. The work is likely to appeal to readers interested in the history of exploration and the detailed accounts of various cultures encountered during these voyages. At the start of this volume, the text introduces Captain King's journal, documenting the voyages to the Sandwich Islands and providing detailed geographical and cultural information. The narrative explores the islands' landscapes, volcanic features, and climatic conditions, while offering observations about the inhabitants, their customs, and their interactions with explorers. The author also highlights the significance of the islands in the context of broader maritime exploration and commerce, setting the stage for a nuanced discussion of the Sandwich Islands' role during this period of global exploration.
