A Narrative of Four Voyages : To the South Sea, North and South Pacific Ocean, Chinese Sea, Ethiopic and Southern Atlantic Ocean, Indian and Antarctic Ocean Paperback / softback

Based on his journals, with literary assistance provided by a ghostwriter, this 1832 publication gives an account of the early life and later voyages of the American sealer and explorer Benjamin Morrell (1795–1839).

The titular adventures consisted of explorations of the Pacific and Antarctic between 1822 and 1831.

The text describes unfamiliar bodies of land, sometimes violent interactions with native populations (several of Morrell's crew were killed in the Carteret Islands), and encounters with the slave trade.

Morrell also claimed to have been the first American captain to cross the Antarctic Circle.

However, there are doubts about the veracity of his narrative, as reported distances, times and locations, particularly in the Antarctic, have proven to be inaccurate.

This has been attributed variously to error, exaggeration or outright deception.

Morrell himself admits to enhancing his narrative by drawing on information furnished by other navigators.
