(Jan Ernst) 1858 1932 Heeres, Jan Ernst The Part Borne by the Dutch in the Discovery of Australia 1606-1765 Colin Choat "The Part Borne by the Dutch in the Discovery of Australia 1606-1765" by J. E. Heeres is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the significant, yet often overlooked, contributions of Dutch explorers to the discovery and mapping of Australia during the 17th and 18th centuries. It aims to illuminate the historical context and achievements of Netherlands' navigators, documenting their voyages and explorations in a field predominantly recognized for British contributions. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the author's motivation for revisiting the Dutch discoveries related to Australia. Heeres emphasizes that the role played by the Dutch is often misunderstood or disregarded, both domestically and in foreign histories. He discusses how the idea for this publication evolved from his previous work on Abel Tasman, highlighting the importance of archival documents that shed light on early Dutch explorations, such as the voyages of Willem Jansz and Dirk Hartogs. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed examination of historical documents, chronologically arranging Dutch expeditions that significantly contributed to the European understanding of Australia's geography.
