17855000614London: Strahan & Cadell; Strahan & Cadell; H. Hughs for Nicol & Cadell 1785. In generally very good condition with the inevitable odd spot or thumbmark; chart Friendly Islands at p.225 in volume 1 of the third voyage and the folding plate of coastal profiles at p.82 both with water stains. Together eight volumes quarto and folio atlas; a good set in old half calf and marbled boards double labels. <p><p>The full series of the official narratives of Cook's voyages - the cornerstone of any collection of books relating to Australia or the Pacific. Each of the three narratives is illustrated with marvellous engravings based on the work of the official artists on the voyages including Parkinson Hodges and Webber and the series stands as the great monument to Cook's achievements.</p> <p>These were the best-sellers of the second half of the eighteenth century; very expensive when published the first editions were sold out within a few days of publication. Their popularity meant that many copies were almost literally read to pieces; as a result good uniform sets of the voyages are fairly scarce.</p> <p>This set comprises the first edition of the first voyage in its first issue form; the unchanged second edition of the second voyage; and the preferred second edition of the third voyage. Sets of the voyages are seen in many combinations of editions: this particular combination generally regarded as a good way to have the set is one of those seen with some regularity.</p> <p>For full details see our analysis online. Briefly. the set is made up as follows:</p> <p>First voyage. HAWKESWORTH John. An Account of the Voyages. for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere. </p> <p>First edition first issue. Three volumes quarto 51 engraved plates and maps. London 1773.</p> <p>Second Voyage. COOK James. A Voyage towards the South Pole and Round the World. </p> <p>Second edition. Two volumes quarto 64 engraved plates and maps many folding. London 1777.</p> <p>Third Voyage. COOK James and James KING. A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean.</p> <p>Second preferred edition. Three volumes quarto with 24 engraved maps and profiles; separate folio atlas containing two charts and 62 engraved plates. London 1785.</p> <p>---</p> <p>The set is made up as follows:</p> <p>First voyage</p> <p>HAWKESWORTH John. An Account of the Voyages. for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere. </p> <p>Three volumes quarto 51 engraved plates and maps many folding. London Strahan and Cadell 1773.</p> <p>First edition first issue before printing of the chart of the Streights of Magellan and the "Directions for Placing the Cuts".</p> <p>Cook's great first voyage into the Pacific during the course of which he discovered and charted the entire east coast of Australia naming it New South Wales. This is in fact a compendium of four major voyage accounts to the Pacific which culminates with that of Cook's first voyage which fills two of the three large volumes giving an enthralling account of his exploration of Tahiti New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. The work was edited by the professional writer John Hawkesworth who was given the original journals of Captains Byron Wallis Carteret and Cook as well as the private journal of Joseph Banks in order to prepare it for publication a task which took almost two years. Cook himself was in the middle of his second voyage when it was finally published in London to widespread enthusiasm on 9 June 1773 Cook was actually in Cook Strait New Zealand at the time having just left Queen Charlotte Sound.</p> <p>Hawkesworth's involvement in the book was controversial and much ink has been spilt on the subject of his fitness for the task the dilettante man of letters Horace Walpole is known to have wittily criticised Cook's enthusiasm for the fishermen of 40 islands Samuel Johnson an apparent fixation with exotic insects while indignant letters to contemporary editors attacked everything from Hawkesworth's apparent lasciviousness to his godlessness but these reactions cannot distract from the fascinating story the moments of early contact and the great characters such as Banks or the Tahitian priest Tupaia. The plates charts and views are magnificent and most famously include the first astonishing engraving of a kangaroo charts of New Zealand and the east coast of Australia and the moving depiction of the Endeavour hauled on shore just north of Cape Tribulation on the north Queensland coast to fix the hole that nearly sent them to the bottom.</p> <p>Beddie 648; Hill 782; Holmes 5n; Kroepelien 535.</p> <p>Second Voyage</p> <p>COOK James. A Voyage towards the South Pole and Round the World. </p> <p>Two volumes quarto 64 engraved plates and maps many folding. London Strahan and Cadell 1777.</p> <p>Second edition: the official account of Cook's great second voyage prepared for publication by the navigator himself. The superb engravings here in fine black impressions are mostly the work of Hodges whose recording of the voyage resulted also in a famous series of oil-paintings. This was the second of four London editions of the full work there would be many abridgements and translations. Unhappy with Hawkesworth's rendering of his first voyage Cook was determined that the second would not be similarly treated: although he had the editorial help of Dr John Douglas this "is certainly Cook's book. There were to be no more Hawkesworths. 'The Journal of my late voyage' writes Cook to his friend Commodore Wilson at Great Ayton 'will be published in the course of next winter and I am to have the sole advantage of 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 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 and as it was written during the voyage' ." Beaglehole. The two resulting quarto volumes with their dramatic illustrations after the expedition's official artist William Hodges 'would have given pleasure to any author' but they were never seen by Cook who had embarked on his fatal last voyage by the time they appeared.</p> <p>Early in the course of this remarkable voyage the Antarctic circle was crossed for the first time when Cook cruised as far south as possible round the edge of the Antarctic ice. His belief in the existence of a land-mass in the southern ice ring was eventually proved by the nineteenth-century explorers. In the Pacific he visited New Zealand again and either discovered or revisited many of the islands including New Caledonia Palmerston and Norfolk Islands Easter Island the Marquesas New Hebrides Tonga the South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia.</p> <p>Between February and May 1773 the two ships separated and Furneaux commander of the Adventure supplied Cook with the narrative of his experiences in the Adventure printed here: they called at Adventure Bay in Van Diemen's Land and sailed up the east coast "intending to coast it up along shore till we should fall in with the land seen by Captain Cook and discover whether Van Diemen's Land joins with New Holland". Before they stood away for New Zealand Furneaux had come to the opinion that "there is no straits between New Holland and Van Diemen's Land but a very deep bay.".</p> <p>Beddie 1216; Hill 358; Holmes 24; O'Reilly-Reitman 390; Printing and the Mind of Man 223.</p> <p>Third Voyage</p> <p>COOK James and James KING. A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Undertaken by Command of his Majesty for making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere.</p> <p>Three volumes quarto with 24 engraved maps and coastal profiles; with the separate folio atlas containing two charts and 62 engraved plates. London H. Hughs for Nicol and Cadell 1785.</p> <p>The official artist on the voyage was John Webber and his romantic views of the islands of the Pacific published here remain the most evocative portrayals of the islands - helping to create the notion of an island paradise that so affected the European public eagerly reading the voyages of discovery being published in the eighteenth century.</p> <p>This is an example of the second edition which is preferred to the first edition for a number of reasons. The most obvious difference is the use on the title-pages of the text volumes of engraved vignettes of the Royal Society Medal in volumes 1 and 2 and of an oval medallion portrait of Captain King in volume 3. The medal was awarded to Cook posthumously by the Royal Society in 1784 shortly after publication of the first edition of this book.</p> <p>This second quarto edition was printed by H. Hughs - rather than W. and A. Strahan who had printed the first edition - with the wording of the title-pages slightly modified and the text itself entirely re-set. As Forbes points out the second edition has always been "considered typographically superior to the first edition. That this was a contemporary opinion is borne out by a presentation inscription in a set Dixson Library State Library of New South Wales from Isaac Smith Mrs. Cook's relative and on her behalf addressed to Mrs. Cook's physician Doctor Elliotson: 'Clapham 5 May 1821. I am desired by Mrs Cook. to request your acceptance of the 4 books sent herewith being her Husbands last Voyage round the World as a mark of her respect. the letter press of the second edition being much superior to the first both in paper & letter press'.". It is interesting to note that the presentation on behalf of Cook's widow was made some 35 years after publication and even then Mrs. Cook chose to give a copy of the second rather than the first printing let alone the third or subsequent editions.</p> <p>The full story of the voyage and Cook's eventual murder while revisiting the Hawaiian Islands was so eagerly awaited by the English public that the entire first edition had sold out at the then huge price of four pounds fourteen shillings and sixpence within three days and copies were soon changing hands at up to ten guineas. King George III's copy of the official account preserved in the British Library is also an example of this second edition.</p> <p>Beddie 1552; Forbes Hawaiian National Bibliography 85; Hawaii One Hundred 5; Hill 361; Holmes 47n; O'Reilly-Reitman 434.</p> </p> .
