Excerpt from The Dawn of Modern Geography, Vol. 3: A History of Exploration and Geographical Science The present volume concludes that History of Mediaeval Exploration and Geographical Science ('the Expansion of Europe in the Middle Ages') which I began in 1895, and of which the first two parts appeared in 1897 and 1901. In the Introductory Chapter I have tried to summarize all those matters which I believe worthy of special attention in this part of the subject (a.d. 1260-1420); here I will only express the hope that my work on the Later Middle Ages, as an attempt to open up comparatively fresh fields of historical and geographical inquiry, may be not less kindly judged by those who have welcomed the former volumes on the Early and Central Mediaeval Periods. I am sure, at any rate, that no chapters of the Dawn of Modern Geography can pretend to touch matters of such interest and importance as those which attempt to deal with the Overland (mainly Asiatic), and the Oversea (mainly Atlantic), developments of Latin Christendom during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. For these developments are of such moment in the history of civilization that they give a new force to the appeal of Paul Verlaine - 'C'est vers le Moyen Age énorme et délicat, Qu'il faudrait que mon oeeur en panne naviguat.'
