N2  - The charm and splendor of sunlit isles in tropic seas had always beckoned adventuresome travelers of past centuries to Philippine shores. The records of their voyages down Southeast Asia and beyond were rarely ever complete without an account of the Philippine scene. Here were, to them, contentment, enchantment, and life in its prima virginal form. From Pigafetta, with Magellan in his voyage of discovery, through Gemelli Careri, le Gentil, Paul de la Gironiere, and Henry T. Ellis, to Sir John Bowring, numerous interesting accounts on Philippine life, activities, customs, climate, products, scenery and topography have been written. --from the preface
