Hardcover. Etat : Very good condition. Contains an important article on the death of Captain James Cook in a review of the first full account in English of Cook's third voyage, published three years earlier than the official account. The book is attributed to Lieutenant John Rickman, who served as second lieutenant on the 'Discovery', commanded by Charles Clerke. The article includes a description of the death of Cook in Hawaii and a commentary by the author. Of the killing of Cook on the 14th of February, the author writes: "Capt. Cook, after shooting one of the natives, while he was aiming at another, having a double barrelled gun, was knocked down by a club, and then stabbed in the back by a pa-ha-hee, "a kind of poignard, made by our armourers, at the king's request, the day before". (p234). And he continues, in the second part of the article, with: "Thus . ended the life of the greatest navigator that this or any other country could ever boast, after having successfully led his crews of gallant British seamen thrice round the world ." (p278). Other articles of interest include Progress of the War in America, Progress of General Arnold with 4 entries, including one describing the reward put on Arnold's head (p537), Pennsylvania fireplaces designed by Benjamin Franklin when he lived in Philadelphia, with a folding copper engraved plate (p453), and a folding plan for a road to avoid Highgate Hill (p212). Other articles with folding plates include the Account by Commodore George Johnstone of his Engagement with the French fleet at Madeira (folding plate showing the Station of the Ships in Port Praya Bay), and Dr. Lindsay's new Theory of Water spouts. One volume with the 12 monthly issues. 8vo, 633pp & [15]pp index, 15 copper plate engravings complete. Published in the May 1781 issue, the article runs from p. 231-4 & p. 278-9. Text block is printed slightly crooked on some pages. Nicely rebacked with red title label, 5 raised bands, the original marbled boards, new end papers. Some dusting internally. See Beddie 1615 for Rickman's work. This review is not listed in Beddie. Beddie 1651 lists an article published in the London Magazine in Dec 1780 by "Periplus" "A Summary account of the voyage undertaken. the Resolution and Discovery.", referring to this as "a republication, with corrections to both account and chart, from July 1780 number of the magazine.".

Edition originale
Handsomely bound in full burnished calf with moroccan labels on the spines with gilt lettering, volume numbers, and rules. First editions in 3 volumes, each measuring 9" x 5.5". Volume one has an engraved frontispiece of Captain Cook, the chart of the Pacific Ocean, and the plates of a Native of Otaheite & a Man of New Holland. Volume 2 has 5 engraved plates; Volume 3 has 11 engravings. All are present. With the previous owner's name elegantly written in ink on the front endpaper of each volume: George Allan of Greendale, a Member of Parliament for Durham, and possibly the son of the antiquarian and attorney George Allan. The text is printed on quality paper, ivory toned with only a touch of occasional foxing. A lovely set glowing softly with the patina of time. James Cook FRS (7 November 1728 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the British Royal Navy, famous for his three voyages between 1768 and 1779 in the Pacific Ocean and to New Zealand and Australia in particular. He made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the St. Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec, which brought him to the attention of the Admiralty and the Royal Society. This acclaim came at a crucial moment for the direction of British overseas exploration, and it led to his commission in 1768 as commander of HMSEndeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages.In these voyages, Cook sailed thousands of miles across largely uncharted areas of the globe. He mapped lands from New Zealand to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean in greater detail and on a scale not previously charted by Western explorers. He surveyed and named features, and recorded islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. He displayed a combination of seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, physical courage, and an ability to lead men in adverse conditions.Cook was attacked and killed in 1779 during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific while attempting to kidnap the ruling chief of the island of Hawai i, Kalani pu u, in order to reclaim a cutter taken from one of his ships after his crew took wood from a burial ground. Whilst there is controversy over Cook's role as 'an enabler of colonialism'[1] and the violence associated with his contacts with indigenous peoples, he left a legacy of scientific and geographical knowledge that influenced his successors well into the 20thcentury, and numerous memorials worldwide have been dedicated to him. (Wikipedia) This is the scarce first Glasgow edition of Captain Cook's accounts of his voyages and discoveries; the first edition printed in Scotland.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Dublin, 1781, Contemporary calf gilt,rebacked, with a folding engraved map and 5 engraved plates, one folding which is the first representation of Hawaii. The first Dublin edition of the first published account of Cook s last voyage, preceding the authorized version by three years. This work is attributed to Lieutenant John Rickman, who served as second lieutenant on the Discovery , Charles Clerk, Commander. This is the first full account in English of Cook s third voyage and has an important description of the death of Cook in Hawaii.It was first published in 1781, three years before the official account. This anonymous journal, of Captain Cook s third voyage, was once believed to have been written by John Ledyard, who had actually made liberal use of Lieutenant Rickman s account; hence the confusion. This narrative anticipated the government s authorized account by two years. All the journals kept on board were claimed by the Admiralty, thus the author remained strictly anonymous. The text, especially as regards details of Cook s death, differs considerably from other accounts. Hill Hill, 1453; Holmes 53; Howes R276; Streeter 3474.

Titled "Cook's Voyages" in gilt on the front cover and between raised bands on the spine. In the center of the front cover is a sailing vessel of the period in full sail, tooled in gold outline, surrounded with a gold tooled circle representing rope. There is a small tear to the head of the spine and the joints and bottom edges of the covers are lightly rubbed. Pages iv, 5-655 + v, with a frontispiece portrait of Cook with a tissue guard, engraved, as follows, at the foot of the plate: "Accurately drawn from an original painting & engraved by Mr. Thornton". Illustrated with 156 plates and charts including the frontispiece and a 12-1/2 inch high by 19 inch wide folding map engraved by Thomas Conder based on notes by Cook and Lieut. Roberts, "A New General Chart of the World, Exhibiting the Discoveries made by Captn. James Cook in his First, Second and Third Voyages : With tracks of the Ships under his Command". Due to the tightness of the binding some of the captions at the bottoms of the plates are difficult to read. The book is lacking a plate, "The Landing of Captain Cook at Middleburgh", which appears never to have been bound in. The book includes "Directions to the Bookbinder' [1 page] and "A List of Subscribers to this Work" [4 pages]. Stamped in gilt at the top of the front pastedown is the statement "Bound in England" and at the foot of the front pastedown "Bound for J.W. Robinson Company by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, London". The label of the J.W. Robinson Company, Los Angeles, is mounted on the rear blank. The contents are bright & clean with minor flaws only. A beautiful example of this classic book. The titles for Cook's voyages are as follows: p. [5] "A New, Genuine and Complete History of the Whole of Capt. Cook's Voyages, Undertaken and Performed by Royal Authority". p. [108] "Capt. Cook's Second Voyage Towards the South Pole and Round the World". p. [399] "A New, Authentic and Complete History of Captain Cook's Third and Last Voyage to the Pacific Ocean"."This compilation of British navigators' accounts of their voyages around the world covers the famous voyages of Sir Francis Drake and Captain James Cook, as well as expeditions by George Anson, John Byron, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret, and Constantine Phipps (Lord Mulgrave). In 1740-44, Anson led a three-year-and-nine-month mission that raided Spanish commerce off the coast of Peru before returning to England via the Cape of Good Hope. Byron made a voyage in 1764-65, during which he discovered the Islands of Disappointment (in present-day French Polynesia) and several smaller islands. Wallis and Carteret set out in 1766 to find a rumored, but non-existent, southern continent at 20 degrees south latitude. Failing to find such a landmass, they went on to discover Tahiti and a number of other islands in what is now French Polynesia, before returning to England in 1769. Mulgrave was the first British Arctic explorer. In a 1773 attempt to find a passage to Asia via what some navigators speculated was an "Open Polar Sea," he made the first scientific voyage aimed at reaching the North Pole. Sailing north from England, Mulgrave and his two ships reached the west coast of Svalbard, Norway, before being forced to turn back by pack ice."- quoted from a description provided by the Library of Congress.

First edition of this omnibus of Cook's voyages. Printed in double columns in "large new Types, constructed on Purpose to comprise much Matter in a little Compass" and issued in 80 sixpenny parts with avowedly philanthropic intentions, Hogg's popular edition helped disseminate knowledge of Cook's discoveries. "An important collection of English voyages. [which] sometimes gives the original accounts, others are edited or abridged versions, and frequently additional material from other sources are added to give scope and depth to the narratives" (Hill). The splendidly verbose title page notes the addition of the expeditions of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, Mulgrave, Anson, and Drake. The first three were included in Hawkesworth's edition of Cook's first voyage, while the accounts of Phipps, Anson, and Drake are reprinted from David Henry's An Historical Account of All the Voyages Round the World, Performed by English Navigators (1773-74). The book is often referred to as "Anderson's Cook", though George William Anderson is most likely a pseudonym calculated to evoke vague identification with William Anderson, the surgeon, and naturalist who accompanied Cook on his second and third voyages. The publisher, Alexander Hogg, a specialist in "Paternoster Row numbers", had a penchant for tripartite pseudonyms. Two additional engraved plates laid in, one of The Queen's Hotel, London, the other, hand-coloured, of a pair of shells. Provenance: with the ownership inscription of Captain Thomas Jellis, Northampton Fencibles, on the head of the first page of text, dated 1799. The Northampton Fencibles were raised in 1794. Jellis appears to have moved to America with his family in 1812, settling in Cartersville, Virginia. His grandson, Captain Thomas Jellis Kirkpatrick served in the Confederate Army and was appointed captain of the Amherst Artillery in July 1861, becoming a major in 1865, commanding the Nelson's Battalion.

First edition of this valuable compendium of the three voyages of Captain Cook and others. "An important collection of English voyages. [which] sometimes gives the original accounts, others are edited or abridged versions, and frequently additional material from other sources are added to give scope and depth to the narratives" (Hill). This attractive copy has the title page in the first state, with the date in the imprint. Originally issued in 80 weekly parts costing sixpence each, printed in double column in "large new Types, constructed on Purpose to comprise much Matter in a little Compass", Hogg's edition helped disseminate knowledge of Cook's discoveries to those unwilling or unable to afford the nine quartos and atlas volumes of the official accounts. The text is paraphrased and reordered to avoid impinging on the literary property of the Admiralty. The splendidly verbose title page notes the addition of the expeditions of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, Mulgrave, Anson, and Drake. Those of the first three were included in Hawkesworth's edition of Cook's first voyage; the accounts of the voyages of Phipps, Anson, and Drake are reprinted from David Henry's An Historical Account of All the Voyages Round the World, Performed by English Navigators (1773-74).

208 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition (lacking the map as in almost all copies). 208 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Rare. "This is not only the first American book on the Northwest Coast, but also the first American book on Hawaii" (Streeter). Ledyard is distinguished in many respects, he was the only American to sail on Cook's third voyage which explored Alaska and discovered Hawaii. He was also in the boat that carried Cook ashore on the morning of his death. Indeed this work contains a detailed account of Cook's death "distinguished by its evident authority" (Hill). The purpose of Cook's third voyage was twofold. Ostensibly, it was to return Omai to his homeland in French Polynesia, but the main purpose was to search for the Northwest Passage. The Resolution and Discovery departed Plymouth in 1776 and made their way via the Cape to New Zealand and Tahiti. It was from there that Cook discovered Hawaii, which he regarded as his greatest achievement. The boats then proceeded to the Pacific Northwest and commenced their search for a route to the Atlantic. They returned to Hawaii for the winter of 1778-9. Their initial warm welcome soon wore off and tensions between the Hawaiians and the British resulted in Cook being killed on the shore of Kealakekua Bay on February 14, 1779. Charles Clerke assumed command of the expedition and proceeded north once again to pursue the voyage's objective. The two ships returned to England in 1780. A Connecticut native, after the voyage Ledyard remained in England until 1782 when he was posted to the North American station - the Revolutionary War was ongoing. He promptly deserted and returned to Hartford where this account was published. This work preceded Rickman's by a matter of months, though in fact Ledyard made "liberal use of [the first English edition of] Rickman's account in his own narrative" (Hill). This is not to deride Ledyard unnecessarily; in addition to his account of Cook's death, his keen observations on the fur trade in the Pacific northwest are of great value. Ledyard's account is one of the rarest works on Cook's third's voyage, and Hill confirms that "[o]nly a few copies still have the map." It was wanting in both the Streeter and Brooke-Hitching copies.
