178515840Paris 1785. 271 by 221mm. 10.75 by 8.75 inches. Engraved map. A map of the coast of Japan from the French edition of Captain Cook's 'A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean'. Captain James Cook made three major voyages to the Pacific. The first voyage with HMS Endeavour from 17681771 was ostensibly made to observe the Transit of Venus but also to search for the mythical Great Southern Continent supposed to lie somewhere between New Holland and South America. Cook became the first European to set foot on New Zealand and named the land New South Wales. During the second voyage with HMS Resolution and Adventure from 17721775 Cook made the first crossing of the Antarctic Circle. In his third and final voyage with HMS Resolution and Discovery from 17761780 Cook became the first European to discover Hawaii and showed that there was no navigable northern passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He died during a skirmish with natives in Hawaii. Cook's journals were published after each voyage. This map is from the 1785 French translation of the journals of his third voyage 'A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean' first published in 1784. unknown

Bound in alongside the atlas plates are twenty full-page manuscript descriptions of plates in a contemporary hand. Twenty-one plates are described on twenty sheets. No doubt this set was kept or exhibited at a museum or a library. According to Forbes this second edition was "printed by H. Hughs rather than by W. and A. Strahan with the wording of the title page altered and the three-volume text completely reset. A distinguishing feature of the second quarto edition is the addition of engraved vignettes of the Royal Society Medal to the title pages. Volume I has Cook in profile and Volume II has the verso of the same medal. The Volume III title has an oval medallion portrait of Captain King. The second edition of Cook's Third Voyage is considered typographically superior to the first edition."<br> <br> The first two volumes of this narrative were written by Captain James Cook. The third volume was written by Captain James King after Cook died during the voyage.<br> <br> Three volumes in contemporary speckled calf. Volumes appear to be rebacked but the repair is invisible.

Atlas is bound in early cloth boards rebacked in half calf. Red and black morocco spine labels lettered in gilt. Boards tooled in blind spine stamped in gilt. All edges dyed brown. Two previous owner's contemporary bookplates and an early ownership signature on front pastedown. Approximately twelve plates in the atlas with marginal tears professionally repaired not touching the engravings. Plates 38 and 65 with repaired tears that touch engravings but with no loss. Both folding maps in the Atlas with some reinforcement repairs to backsides no loss. Plate 77 is trimmed and mounted on newer paper no loss. Some very light occasional dampstaining to Atlas margins but generally very clean. Overall a very good attractive set.<br> <br> "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. He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge" Hill.<br> <br> "Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage.Officers of the crew included William Bligh James Burney James Colnett and George Vancouver.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. This voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery- the Hawaiian Islands" Hill p. 62.<br> <br> "Captain James Cook was the most intrepid and resourceful navigator of the century if not of all time. Thoughtful of the health of his men just in his dealings with the natives and strict in his discipline he most amply justifed the Admiralty in their choice of him as commander of the three voyages that go under his name" Cox p. 57.<br> <br> Hill 361.

17785440Paris: Hôtel de Thou 1778. Very Good/Attractive set of the French-language version of Cook's account of his second expedition A Voyage towards the South Pole and Round the World London 1777. This astonishing journey from 1772 to 1775 went around the globe as far south as possible to explore the existence or not of a postulated southern landmass. In the course of the voyage Cooks ships Resolution and Adventure crossed deeply into Antarctic waters ultimately turned back by ice barriers. Zig-zagging through the South Pacific Cooks ships also visited Easter Island the Marquesas Tahiti the Society Islands Niue the Tonga Islands the New Hebrides New Caledonia Norfolk Island Palmerston Island South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia many of which Cook named in the process. This French edition of his report was published close on the heels of the English version in two distinct formats a five-volume quarto and a six-volume octavo with a quarto atlas containing the extraordinary set of 66 engraved plates after William Hodges. The French translator Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Suard incorporated into the text a great deal of material from the rival account of the voyage that Johann Reinhold Forster published under guise of his son Georg based on a draft of Cooks own journal. In English Forsters account was published separately. A fine set. Six volumes octavo 20 cm and atlas volume in quarto 27 cm. Text volumes bound in cat's paw calf; six-panel spines tooled in gilt with red leather title labels lettered in gilt. Marbled endleaves. Minimal wear. Atlas volume bound separately in contemporary speckled calf with black leather title label. 65 copper-engraved plates including double-page folding "Carte de l'Hemisphere Austral" portraits scenes botanical representations plans and other maps. Excellent condition throughout. References: Mitchell Library p. 52; Sabin 16249 4to ed. Hôtel de Thou hardcover books
