Sargeant, William

William Sargeant, whose biographical information is unknown, apparently transcribed and/or authored at least 56 volumes, apparently under the title Collectanea . They were likely written sometime around the turn of the 19th century. He had an interest in travel accounts and descriptions of foreign and local, physical and social geography.
