Bound with: Gabriel PLATTES c.1600-1644. A Discovery of Subterranean Treasure: viz. Of all manner of Mines and Minerals at end. London: Peter Parker 1679. iv 24 pp. Period quarter calf and marbled paper boards<br/> <br/> An important early English treatise on forestry and designed woodland here in the 1679 issue with the rare addition of Plattes's tract on mines and minerals.<br/> <br/> Cook was gardener to the Earl of Essex at Cassiobury Park near Watford and laid out many woodland walks and avenues including reputedly an avenue of 296 lime trees. Cook wrote from practical experience as gardener to Arthur Capell first Earl of Essex at Cassiobury Park near Watford one of the notable Restoration landscapes outside London. His treatise treats trees both as productive estate assets and as elements of design giving directions for raising transplanting pruning grafting and ordering forest and fruit trees as well as for planting. The engraved plates and accompanying rules for measuring land and timber show the book's practical range joining arboriculture surveying estate management and landscape design. The work reflects a moment when English country-house landscapes were increasingly shaped through ordered planting axial walks avenues and managed woodland. Cook's association with Cassiobury gives the book particular interest: he is traditionally credited with laying out woodland walks and avenues there including a celebrated avenue of lime trees. His manual preserves the working knowledge behind such improvements before the broader eighteenth-century shift toward more naturalistic landscape gardening. The appended Plattes tract broadens the volume from woodland and estate improvement to the useful exploitation of natural resources. A Discovery of Subterranean Treasure gives practical directions for locating mines and minerals and for melting refining and assaying ores from gold to coal. Plattes an experimental writer on agriculture and practical science wrote for readers interested in applicable knowledge rather than scholastic theory. Bound with Cook's forestry manual the two works form a compact volume on improvement above and below ground: the ordering of trees woods and avenues followed by the discovery and testing of mineral wealth.<br/> <br/> Fussell pp.39-40; Henrey 39; Kress 1483; Wing C6033; Hoover 232.

Hakluyt Society extra series: 34a 34b 35 36a 36b 37; 4 vols royal 8vo & small folio portfolio atlas; numerous maps & illustrations throughout original blue cloth gilt original dust wrappers except atlas a very good set.<br /> The standard modern scholarly edition of Cook's voyages. This publication represents the first time that Cook's journals were comprehensively and accurately presented to the public and to do so required enormous research since copies and fragments of the journals and related material were scattered in various archives in London Australia and New Zealand. For his edition Beaglehole sought out the various surviving holographs in Cook's own hand in preference to copies by his clerks on board ship and others. <br /><br />As well as Cook's own journals Beaglehole also printed either entire or in lengthy extracts the journals of several of Cook's colleagues on the voyages. The introductions themselves together with copious footnotes reveal the breadth of his erudition. They cover many topics ranging from the structure of Polynesian society to oceanography navigation cartography and much else.<br /> Hill 86 Life & 367.

Of the second work, Byron was midshipeman aboard the Wager when it was wrecked off the Chilean coast, and he provides a vivid account of the privations endured by the survivors.
