This work comprises an English version of Arrian's account of the celebrated voyage of Nearchus of Crete from Indus to the Tigris in 325 B.C. Nearchus, a commander of Alexander The Great's who undertook several independent expeditions during Alexander's campaigns across Asia. Arrian was a Greek historian and statesman during the Roman Period, who wrote about events that had occurred several hundred of years before his time. "My purpose was not to translate Arrian, but to make him intelligible to an English reader, and to investigate a variety of subjects, historical, geographical and commercial". Editor William Vincent 1739-1815, was the Dean of Westminister.
