1779B3280London: W. Strahan; T. Cadell c. 1779. A very good set text and plates are clean and crisp. Edition: Third edition Binding: Recent ½ morocco with cloth boards spine in six compartments of raised gilt bands with gilt nautical motifs in gilt borders titles on two four and six top edge gilt endpapers renewed. Notes: Shortly after his return from the first voyage Cook was once again commissioned by the Royal Society to search for the mythical Terra Australis. On his first voyage Cook had demonstrated by circumnavigating New Zealand that it was not attached to a larger landmass to the south; and by charting almost the entire eastern coastline of Australia he had shown it to be continental in size. Cook commanded HMS Resolution on this voyage while Tobias Furneaux commanded its companion ship HMS Adventure. Cook's expedition circumnavigated the globe at a very high southern latitude becoming one of the first to cross the Antarctic Circle on January 17 1773 reaching 71°10' south. He also discovered South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. In the Antarctic fog the Resolution and Adventure became separated. Furneaux made his way to New Zealand where he lost some of his men following a fight with the MÄori and eventually sailed back to Britain while Cook continued to explore the Antarctic. Cook almost discovered the mainland of Antarctica but turned back north towards Tahiti to resupply his ship. He then resumed his southward course in a second fruitless attempt to find the supposed continent. On his return voyage he landed at the Friendly Islands Easter Island and Vanuatu in 1774. His reports upon his return home put to rest the popular myth of Terra Australis.
