• Note generali: Each volume has special t.p. and separate paging.; The first edition of this work began publication in 1684, when a volume in Italian entitled "L'esploratore Turco" and a French version entitled "L'esplou du grand seigneur" were published in Paris by C. Barbin. Authorship is disputed, but it is generally agreed that the first fifty letters (the original four volumes) were written by Marana. In the English editions, v. 1 contains the substance of the letters commonly ascribed to Marana. The continuation (i.e. v. 2-8), said to have appeared first in English, has been variously ascribed to Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw ; Bradshaw has also been attributed as the translator (from Marana's Italian manuscripts) of the entire work under Dr. Midgley's editorship. cf.

• Sommario/riassunto: The book, published in 1903, is a comprehensive analysis of the working conditions of maritime workers in various German and international ports. It includes a series of essays that examine the social and economic circumstances of seafaring workers, focusing on regions such as Hamburg, the Weser area, and the Baltic ports like Flensburg and Kiel. The study, part of the Association for Social Policy's research, aims to shed light on the maritime industry's impact on local economies and communities. It also covers the broader implications of seafaring on international trade and the development of maritime law. The work is intended for scholars and policymakers interested in labor conditions, maritime economics, and social policy.
