By Matthew Flinders.

"A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 2" by Matthew Flinders is a sea voyage journal published in 1814. This volume continues Flinders' detailed account of his historic circumnavigation of Australia between 1801 and 1803 aboard HMS Investigator. The narrative chronicles his mapping of unknown coastlines and his quest to prove Australia was a single continent. It also recounts his subsequent shipwreck and six-year imprisonment by the French on Mauritius, before his eventual return to England in poor health.
