Nicoll and G. Woodfall 1766. 6xxii23-90;viii70pp. Antique-style gilt-ruled full calf giltruled raised spine bands red and black morocco spine labels. A fine copy. Howes S-1042 "b." Streeter Sale 1183. Reese The Struggle for North America 78 ref. This is a re-issue of the first edition sheets of Stork with a new title page and with Bartram's account printed for the first time. William Stork a member of the Royal Society and a German botanist wrote his account as an early promotion of Florida real estate describing its attractions for settlers in its climate flora and fauna and rich soil. He emphasized the potential for growing rice sugar cotton and other cash crops. This edition is noteworthy for the addition of John Bartram's botanical account. Though Bartram 1699-1777 had little formal education Linnaeus called him "the greatest natural botanist in the world." His botanical gardens where he cultivated seeds from all over the world still stand in Philadelphia. When late in life he was appointed the Botanist Royal for North America by King George III the 50 pounds annual stipend allowed him to make expeditions like this one to Florida which he made accompanied by his son William. They traveled from St. Augustine to Picolate on the St. John's noting the climate soil trees such as the royal palm locations for possible fortifications animals etc. The Streeter catalogue says of this volume "both are among the most important sources for the history of East Florida. unknown

Public appetite for a detailed narrative encouraged a publishing race of which this work published less than three months after the expedition's return to England and almost two years prior to Hawkesworth's authorised version was the winner. This first issue containing the dedication leaf was swiftly withdrawn following the publicly advertised consternation of the dedicatees the Admiralty Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. Published anonymously the work is generally attributed to James Magra an American mid-shipman aboard. Hill II:1066without dedication leaf; Hocken p9; Holmes 3; O'Rielly-Reitman 362; Sabin 4246 & 16242; DuRietz-catalogue of the Kroepelien Collection p215; Frost Life of James Mario Matra: Voyager with Cook 1995; Beddie 693/4; STC T29207. The work is a short but interesting narrative of Cook's first voyage which relates his visits to Tahiti New Zealand Australia New Guinea Batavia and Rio de Janeiro. The author is noteworthy because he is one of the few to criticize Cook in any meaningful way. Despite problems with the accuracy of the text this work will always hold the place of being the first account of that voyage and the first account in print of the Australian coast. in translation it also gave the French their first account of that voyage. <br/> <br/> T.
