17843712595London: Stockdale Scatcherd and Whitaker Fielding & Hardy 1784. A few spots and stains but a good set. Four volumes octavo with two folding maps and 49 plates in a smart modern binding of polished half calf with gilt labels edges rough-trimmed only with the often discarded half-titles present. <p><p>First octavo edition of the third voyage account with a large chart of the world as discovered by Captain Cook and a finely engraved folding map of the Hawaiian Islands. Intense public interest in the fabulous discoveries of the third voyage and widespread consternation over the death of England's beloved mariner resulted in copies of the quarto edition selling out quickly. The demand prompted two London octavo editions of 1784-1785 including this set printed for John Stockdale and a group of entrepreneurial publishers. The text was abridged omitting some technical and navigation details and as a result reads more like an adventure than the official quarto edition. The list of subscribers is considerable indicating the fervent public interest and a modest price considerably reduced from that of the expensive quarto edition.</p> <p>In addition to the two impressive maps the plates have been re-engraved for the smaller format. Aside from the large chart accompanying the first volume showing the progress of the expedition the two folding plates are noteworthy. The first depicts the death of Cook and was engraved after the original by Dodd. It ignominiously depicts the last moments of the great navigator here shown lying face down and clutching the shore whilst dragged by the calves by a Hawaiian warrior in a tapa cape. The second folding plate is a map of the Hawaiian Islands with a separate chart of Karakakooa Bay marked with soundings details of native villages and areas under cultivation - and the location 'Here Capt. Cook was killed' duly noted.</p> <p>This edition was originally issued in weekly parts with printed wrappers; half-titles for this edition seem to be usually absent though this set includes those for volumes 2 to 4 none is called for in volume 1. The title pages are dated 1784 although the span of publication passed into the following year.</p> </p> . Stockdale, Scatcherd and Whitaker, Fielding, & Hardy unknown

James Cook 1728-1779 started life as a deck hand in a coal boat he rose to positions of high command in the British navy and made some of the greatest discoveries of the 18th century. In 1776 Cook was ordered to search for a western entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage across America. This trek brought him to Hawaii the Oregon coast and far north past the Bering Strait. The ships left the American coast on Oct. 26 1778 without having found a Northwest Passage. After he was killed in a dispute with natives upon returning to Hawaii Cook's crew made another unsuccessful attempt to explore the arctic. Cook wrote these first two volumes on the voyage before his untimely death. A later third volume was written by Captain James King. More commonly published was a 3 volume collection containing an additional folio-size book of maps and plates. American printings of Cook's voyages have always been scarce; the first American publication of Cook's 3rd voyage was a 1783 Philadelphia reprint of Rickman published by R. Bell which was described as "a miserable edition" in the Gentleman's Magazine. Another edition appeared in New York in 1796 published by Tiebout and O'Brien for Benjamin Gomez. Plates engraved after the English edition by G. Shallus of 90 South Third St. Philadelphia. Despite the title page calling for 40 engravings the work is complete with a total of 38 plates.
