Note 140 — INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION.
Reading edition
Lütke says (p. 34) that it was signed by all except Barents. But it will be seen that his signature stands in its proper rank, the third, among the others. Lütke’s mistake appears to have arisen from his having followed Adelung, who copied from the Recueil de Voyages au Nord, where, in the list of names, that of Barents is certainly omitted, though from what cause except inadvertency cannot be imagined. ↑
