The expedition remained in Hawaii and Tahiti for several months and the French title of the work derives from the fact that it added a great deal of information to the record of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville whose circumnavigation had taken place in 1766-1769 and had covered similar ground.

"Faithfully abridged from the quarto edition." An abridged children's version of Captain James Cook's third and final voyage on which he was murdered by natives. The third voyage was undertaken to continue the British survey of the Pacific but most particularly to search for a northwest passage from the western side. Sailing in 1776 the expedition called at Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society islands then sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands. They then thoroughly explored and charted the Northwest Coast from the Bering Straits along the coast of Alaska and Canada as far south as present northern California. Returning to Hawaii in 1778 the expedition was at first received warmly; but after departing and being forced to return to repair a mast trouble developed which led to a tragic series of events in which the great navigator was killed.

177726150London: W. Strahan & T. Cadell 1777. Second edition which is unchanged from the first edition of the same year. Hardcover. The official account of Cook's second voyage and the only account of any of his voyages written by Cook himself a wide margined copy. The main objective of the 2nd voyage was to circumnavigate the world as far south as possible in search of the Great Southern Land. In doing so the Resolution & Adventure became the first ships to cross the Antarctic circle in January 1773. <br /> <br /> Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle twice more and achieved the 71 degrees S a record that was to last for 50 years. On this voyage Cook pioneered the use of sauerkraut as a dietary supplement to prevent scurvy. He succeeded losing only four of his 112 man crew and none from scurvy. This was regarded as a great maritime feat on its own. <br /> <br /> During this voyage Cook played his part in furthering the great longitude debate. An accurate way to determine longitude had long been a goal of all seafaring nations. English clock maker John Harrison was a mechanical genius who invented a clock that would carry the true time from home port thereby enabling the calculation of the ships' longitude. Cook carried four watches with him the principal one named "K-1" which he frequently complimented in the log of the Resolution calling it "our trusty friend the Watch" and "our never failing guide the Watch." With its help he made the firsthand highly accurate charts of many newly discovered South Pacific islands. <br /> <br /> 4to 28.5 cms high 2 volumes a wide margined copy COMPLETE with 64 engraved plates and maps. Volume I 378pp including engraved frontispiece of Cook two folding maps and 34 engraved plates; Volume II 396pp including 3 folding maps and 24 engraved plates.
