A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee

1785267711785. Very Good. Engraving of A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee. Remargined paper size 15 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches 38.5 x 27.3 cm. Professionally remargined and laid down on tissue by Green Dragon bindery. We think the first edition of this engraving was created by John Webber engraved by W. Byrne and published in the atlas plate 68 to accompany "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean London: W. and A. Strahan for G. Nicol 1784." This example is smaller lightly tinted and rather than being engraved by Byrne is marked "Taylor sculp" lower right. In pencil it is marked on rear "opposite p. 577 Cooks' Voyages 1785 edition". We have been unable to trace to our satisfaction exactly where this engraving was published. It is nonetheless a famous scene and desirable to those who collect voyages Hawaii and the location where Captain Cook eventually died. unknown books

A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD IN HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S SLOOP RESOLUTION COMMANDED BY CAPT. JAMES COOK DURING THE YEARS 1772 3 4 AND 5

1777WRCAM54751London 1777. Two volumes. xviii26021; 4607pp. including errata leaf plus large folding map. Quarto. Contemporary speckled calf rebacked with original gilt leather labels preserved raised bands corners renewed. Minor shelf wear one contemporary and one modern bookplate on pastedowns institutional bookplates on verso of titlepages. Minor occasional foxing some penciled marginalia and underlining to text. Very good. Forster's important account of Cook's second voyage and an essential component of the record of that great expedition. Forster and his father John Reinhold served as official botanists during the expedition. When the Admiralty decided to prevent the elder Forster from contributing to the official report George produced his own publication preceding the official account by several weeks. The Admiralty commissioned Cook to undertake his second voyage in the wake of the great success of the first expedition. The purpose of the second voyage was to circumnavigate the globe as far to the south as possible searching for any southern land masses previously unknown. Cook proved that "Terra Australis" which was supposed to lie between South America and New Zealand was nonexistent; but the party became the first to traverse the Antarctic Circle and discovered and rediscovered islands in the Pacific. "For all the controversy A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD is an interesting and important account that complements the official one with facts and astute observations on the human side of the voyage" - Rosove. Davidson describes this account as "an important work and a necessary supplement to the official account." HILL 625. BEDDIE 1247. HOLMES 23. SABIN 25130. SPENCE 464. DAVIDSON pp.61-62.

"Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return the islander Omai to Tahiti. Officers of the crew included William Bligh James Burney James Colnett and George Vancouver. John Webber was appointed artist to the expedition. After calling at Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society Islands the expedition sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44 minutes before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives over a boat. Charles Clarke took command and after he died six months later the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite hostilities with the United States and France the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture.

Extra-illustrated with very rare and possibly unique impressions of the 24 engraved plates on wove paper watermarked 1801 bound into the text. Original paper-covered boards expertly rebacked to style with contemporary brown paper. All contained within dark blue morocco-backed boxes. A fine unsophisticated set of the third edition of the third voyage with the plates in their most desirable form: all the plates usually found in the text volumes are here bound unfolded and uncut in the atlas volume. In addition this set extra-illustrated with a duplicate set of those plates being unrecorded 1801 impressions on wove paper. "The famous accounts of Captain Cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of Pacific books. In three great voyages Cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together.

The voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" Hill. The typography of the third edition is similar to the second edition which is generally considered superior to the first: Hughs took over the printing from Strahan and re-set all the text. In addition the third edition includes the first appearance of William Wales's "A Defence of the Arguments advanced in the introduction to Captain Cook's last Voyage against the existence of Cape Circumcision" vol.III pp.557-564. This fine set in boards comprises the rarest and most desirable form of the third voyage with the 24 plates intended for the text volumes to be bound uncut and unfolded into the atlas. Thus plates which are generally severely trimmed close or into the image to fit into the text are here on full sheets with wide margins. An early owner of this set however has extra-illustrated his text with early 19th century impressions of those plates. This issue of the duplicate set of plates appears unrecorded being on wove paper watermarked 1801. That the plates were added is confirmed by the fact that the plates are tipped-in rather than sewn or guarded into the text. Cf. Beddie 1543; cf. Forbes Hawaiian National Bibliography 62; cf.

Contemporary ink inscription on verso of final plate. Marginal light foxing and dust soiling. A very good set. A lovely set of the first edition of Cook's Third Voyage with a note of presentation in the atlas volume by Captain James King: "Thomas Venables The gift of Captain King." King was the author of the third text volume in the set and the preparer of Cook's journals that comprise the first two text volumes. Venables was probably a member of an ancient Cheshire landowning family later involved in early Australian settlement. King began Cook's final expedition as the expedition's astronomer and as a lieutenant on the Resolution but by the end of the expedition had been promoted to command of the Discovery and second-in-command. "At the time of Cook's death at Hawaii 14 February 1779 King was on shore in charge of the observatory. He had with him only a few men but was reinforced by some of a boat's crew who had been rowing off the mouth of the bay before the disturbance with the Hawaiians began. This brought the number of the party up to twenty-four and fortifying themselves in a neighbouring heiau or open-air temple they succeeded in repelling the attack of the Hawaiians until they were relieved two hours later by the ships' boats" - DNB. 6/10/2019 "Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return the islander Omai to Tahiti.

1784WRCAM43625Dublin 1784. Three volumes. 8xcviii421; 14549; 11559pp. plus frontispiece portrait eighteen folding maps and charts seven folding plates and folding table. Contemporary calf spines gilt leather labels. Extremities lightly worn slight wear to spine ends and hinges first volume expertly rebacked with original spine laid down. Minor occasional foxing. A very good set. First Dublin edition of the official account of Cook's third and final voyage including text on the exploration of Hawaii and the west coasts of America Canada and Alaska. 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. However the expedition pressed on under Clerke and then Gore and explored the coasts of Siberia and Kamchatka before returning to England in 1780. Forbes calls this work "arguably the single most important book on the Hawaiian islands." The Dublin edition was issued both with and without the plates; this copy is the issue with the plates which is considerably more desirable and difficult to come by. HOWES C729a. SABIN 16250.

"Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century" Printing and the Mind of Man p.135. "The success of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition described in the present work which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents . the men of this expedition became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. Further visits were made to New Zealand and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island the Marquesas Tahiti and the Society Islands Niue the Tonga Islands the New Hebrides New Caledonia Norfolk Island and a number of smaller islands. Rounding Cape Horn on the last part of the voyage Cook discovered and charted South Georgia after which he called at Cape Town St. Helena and Ascension and the Azores . This voyage produced a vast amount of information concerning the Pacific peoples and islands proved the value of the chronometer as an aid to finding longitude and improved techniques for preventing scurvy" Hill p.123 "This the official account of the second voyage was written by Cook himself . In a letter dated June 22nd 1776 to his friend Commodore William Wilson Cook writes: - 'The Journal of my late Voyage will be published in the course of the next winter and I am to have the sole advantage of the sale. It will want those flourishes which Dr. Hawkesworth gave the other but it will be illustrated and ornamented with about sixty copper plates which I am of the opinion will exceed every thing that has been done in a work of this kind; . As to the Journal it must speak for itself. I can only say that it is my own narrative .'" Holmes pp.35-36. Beddie 1216; Hill 2004 358; Holmes 24; Printing and the Mind of Man 223; Rosove 77.A1. W.

Cook to his wife Ella Cook plus 6 letters addressed to "Ella" or "Sister" from various family members. Letters are on sheets measuring 6" x 9 ¼" or 8" x 10"; two letters are typed the rest are ALS. All are dated between 1904 and 1905. 16 on Alaska Fishing and Development Company letterhead; 18 on Hotel Donnelly Tacoma Washington letterhead; 1 on American Fish Company letterhead; 1 on St. Helena Sanitarium letterhead; the remaining letters are on plain sheets. Overall very good with light toning and foxing and a few letters have minor chipping along edges not affecting content. About 16 of the letters mention Clair's business dealings most are vague and discuss his travel plans and limited to a few lines. But 7 or 8 of these letters go into detail about the ships used in the business tonnage of fish caught and market prices and the company's stock. In a letter written from Pleasant Bay Alaska on June 2 1904 Clair writes of 10 tons of Halibut ready for market; June 19th 1905 he writes about a visit from "Mr. Stroud" the president and general manager of the company and also about the selling and buying of shares in the company stock; and on May 27th 1905 he writes of the Treadwell Mines in Alaska sending ore to a smelter likely in Tacoma WA. On June 28th 1905 Clair writes "We got up steam and pumped the water out of the ship today trimmed the ship and secured cargo so it would not slide while crossing Queen Charlotte Sound; it sometimes gets a little rough there" All of the letters written by Clair show his incredible devotion to wife. Each letter starts with "Dearest little wife" "Darling precious wife" or "Darling loyal heart" and are filled with Clair's exclaims of ardent love the pains of separation and his wish to be home with his wife and little daughter in California. Although the letters mostly discuss love for his wife the timing of the letters is important. Written just after the Klondike Gold Rush 1896-1900 and when commercial fishing and canneries were becoming increasingly popular along the Alaskan coast these letters demonstrate an interesting perspective of the development of the last frontier. The details of daily life of an officer of a growing fishing company the attractive letterhead and the quantity of letters make this collection important to researchers and historians of American fisheries and the Alaska Territory. . unknown books
