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

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.

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.

17973807772Paris: De l'Imprimerie de Guillaume 1797. A few leaves a little foxed; a very good copy. Two volumes octavo six folding engraved plates after Parkinson a handsome set in contemporary French mottled calf flat spines gilt double red and tan morocco labels. <p><p>First French edition first issue: the artist's account of Cook's first voyage and the discovery of eastern Australia. Translated by C. Henri from the 1784 English edition it also contains material from later voyagers updating the account including the experiences of the Forsters on the second voyage. This is the octavo issue noted by Kroepelien as preceding the otherwise identical quarto of the same year.</p> <p>Parkinson had been employed in 1767 by Sir Joseph Banks who thought so highly of his work that he arranged for the young man to join him on Cook's first voyage. When the expedition's draughtsman Alexander Buchan died at Tahiti Parkinson was called on to take over all of the topographical work completing some 1300 sketches quite apart from compiling vocabularies in Tahiti and New Holland. At the end of the voyage en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope he died of a fever and after the return of the Endeavour ownership of his manuscripts and drawings was disputed: Banks considered that they were his while Parkinson's brother Stanfield claimed them under the provisions of his brother's will. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending English publication of this work he got an injunction to delay its appearance until some time after his official account and despite having used Parkinson's work extensively retaliated by deliberately omitting Parkinson's name from the narrative: even the botanical illustrations in the official account have no credit to the artist.</p> <p>Some of the bibliographical history of this work is quite complex. An extended note by Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue explains that this octavo issue although textually identical to a quarto issue published the same year by the same publisher is actually the genuine first issue du Rietz demonstrates from an error in the signatures that the quarto was re-imposed. Du Rietz knew the octavo only from the copy in the University of Oslo although no complete census of the two issues has been attempted. A note in O'Reilly-Reitman suggests - as if we needed more complexity - that the number of plates is uncertain as they examined copies with any number between five and eight; nonetheless six plates is the standard collation.</p> </p> .

17872903123Paris: chez Buisson 1787. Good copy. Two volumes quarto with a folding map and 16 engraved plates some folding; original mottled calf binding. <p><p>Cook's second voyage and travels in South Africa by the famous Swedish naturalist. This is the first edition in French the most profusely illustrated of the early editions of the book. This is an example of the quarto version an octavo version appeared simultaneously. Sparrman professor of zoology at Uppsala University was in South Africa when Cook's second voyage called there in 1772; Forster engaged him to accompany the expedition as assistant naturalist. Though much of his book is a narrative of travels in Africa with emphasis on its flora and fauna and a remarkable series of plates on termites and their habitations he includes an interesting account of his voyage with Cook in the first volume - as Hocken notes "Hairbreadth escape from collision of the two ships not mentioned elsewhere. Shocking details as to the food on board. Described the plants which Georg Forster drew. Both interesting and amusing.".</p> <p>Sparrman published an expanded Swedish version of his account of the voyage in 1802 with a second volume in 1818 but this account in its various versions was the only eighteenth-century text by this member of the second voyage.</p> </p> . chez Buisson unknown

17854401834Paris: Hôtel de Thou 1785. Fine. Five quarto volumes including the final atlas volume containing a total of 88 engraved maps and plates; uniform full calf armorial bindings of the period. <p><p>A superb set of the desirable first French edition of the official account of Cook's third voyage in outstanding contemporary French bindings bearing the arms of the Ruolz Montchal family and the motto "Toujours pret". A smaller edition in octavo was published at the same time but this larger and handsome version is or course greatly preferred. It is illustrated in the manner of the English publication and has a version of the famous "Death of Cook" plate based on the original drawing by John Webber not all copies of the French quarto edition include this plate. Furthermore the fourth and final volume of the text is complete with all seven appendices including the folding vocabulary table.</p> <p>The full story of Cook's great third voyage and his eventual murder while revisiting the Hawaiian Islands that he had discovered earlier during the voyage was almost as eagerly awaited by the European as by the English public: the approximately forty ediitns that appeared befpre 1800 included vesion sin Fench Dutch Geman ruswsian Swedish and Italiqan. This French version is th emost handsome of all the 4editiins ager the English official account.</p> <p>Bligh Burney Colnett Vancouver and Riou - all later to command important voyages of their own - were all members of the expedition which set out to return Omai to Tahiti and to search for a northwest passage. They called at Kerguelen Island Tasmania the Cook Tonga and Society Islands turned north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands and went on to chart the northwest coast of America from Northern California to 70o 44' where they were stopped by pack ice. On their retrn to Hawaii Cook was killed.</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 public eagerly reading the voyages of discovery being published in the eighteenth century.</p> <p>The Ruolz-Montchal family derived from the Ardèche. but moved in the 18th century to the Lyon area where they held the property of Le Chatelard in Francheville until the early 20th century.

1797132846Boston: Thomas & Andrews and D. West January 1797. The first collected edition of Cook's voyages to be published in the US First US collected edition of Cook's three voyages. Forbes notes that it "appears to be an adaptation of the text contained in Volumes VI and VII of William Mavor's Historical Account of the Most Celebrated Voyages Travels & Discoveries" 1796. This edition is uncommon with just two copies traced institutionally in the UK. "Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilisation 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. Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer an excellent administrator and planner and probably the first sea captain to realise the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew. He did everything possible to maintain their physical fitness and the cleanliness of both men and ships. He conquered the hitherto prevalent scurvy by cutting down the consumption of salt meat and by always having fresh vegetables and fruit on board" Printing and the Mind of Man. 2 vols duodecimo 170 x 95 mm.
