	George Vancouver
		He intended to explore every bay and outlet of this region, and many times had to use boats rather than his ships to do so, because the inlets were often too narrow for his ships.
		He met a Spanish exploring party led by Dionisio Alcala Galiano[?] and Cayetano Valdes y Flores[?], and for some time they explored Puget Sound together.
		Afterwards, Vancouver went to Nootka [?](a place on Vancouver Island, then the most important harbour of the region), where he had to get any British buildings or lands returned from the Spanish.

	Book Review
		The commanders of this expedition, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano and Cayetano Valdés y Flores, were instructed by Alejandro Malaspina, who had sailed to the Northwest one year before, and by the Mexican viceroy to explore the coast in the vicinity of Vancouver Island.
		While most of this manuscript was probably compiled by Galiano from his own records, portions of the text were derived from information provided by other, and as yet unidentified, individuals.
		English mariners in these northern waters are described at length in the journal, and Galiano and Valdés chanced to meet George Vancouver during their voyage; following the instructions of their superiors, they treated the Englishman with the utmost cordiality and briefly joined their expedition with his to conduct scientific surveys.
