Berne; la nouvelle Societe typographique; ***Beddie 1630; Holmes 44 (q.v.); Forbes 59; Du Rietz All early editions of this important account of Cook s Third Voyage, published four years before the official account are very rare, the first [German] edition extremely so. It was not translated into English until This second French edition is reset from the first of the previous year but is identical apart from the ornamentation on the title-page and the date at its foot. Both French editions are of great rarity and are of particular interest as they contain additional matter not found in the original German editions or in the (late) English translations. This additional matter comprises some brief introductory notes by one Roland (almost certainly the translator), the Abregee Life of Cook (pp ), and quite extensive notes (pp some forty numbered items). Holmes and Du Rietz note that the Life appears to be a somewhat abridged translation of Lichtenberg and Georg Forster s early life of Cook, published in Gottingen in Zimmermann was coxswain in the Discovery and as a foreign national (he was a native of Speyer) was able to withhold his journal despite the instructions to surrender all logs and journals which were given to all serving officers and men. As a low-ranking member of the expedition his account gives an interesting and different perspective from the other accounts of Cook s third voyage. Holmes notes that his appreciation of Cook s character deserves to rank with that of Samwell. #8241 A$16,500.00

London; Printed by S. Gosnell, for T. Chapman; ***Ferguson 301; Hill 2, 1894;. The first and preferred of two closely similar editions bearing the same date, this being of slightly larger format and printed on better quality paper. Another edition bearing the imprint Printed for T. Chapman... by T. Gillet and with a completely different set of subscriber s names, was issued almost simultaneously (see Ferguson 302). The purpose of employing two printers appears to have been to ensure the speedy production of sufficient copies to meet the demand. This important work is the account of the first English missionary enterprise in the South Seas. The hostility of the natives at Tahiti and Tonga caused many of the missionaries to seek refuge at Sydney. Some of them settled in Australia and founded families important in Australian history. William Wilson was Chief Mate on the voyage. Apart from its missionary interest the work contains much valuable information on Tahiti, Fiji and the Marquesas. The Duff Group in the Santa Cruz islands was newly discovered on this voyage. #2293 A$

A very few copies were issued with the date 1826; these are of the greatest rarity. The work is of great importance: Phillip Parker King (the son of Governor Philip Gidley King) was born at Norfolk Island, and became one of Britain s leading hydrographers. His work considerably furthered the geographical knowledge of the Australian coasts. His charts were very accurate and his extensions and additions to those of Flinders on the Northern and Western coasts of Australia were for many years in practical use by the Admiralty (well into the twentieth century). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in #43380 A$

Full of interest, this is an important work giving Fanning s experiences in several voyages to the Pacific and round the world. Fanning discovered several previously unknown islands and was instrumental in sending out the expedition under Captains Palmer & Pendleton in In addition his petition to Congress and other personal efforts were largely responsible for the Act of May 14, 1836 authorizing the United States Exploring Expedition under Charles Wilkes. Fanning visited China, Fiji, Tonga, the Marquesas, King Georges Sound and the desolate island of South Georgia, and the work contains detailed accounts of sealing around the Australian coast and elsewhere in the South Seas. Amongst other material of Australian interest, Fanning gives an account of his rescue from the Marquesas of the missionary Rev. William Pascoe Crook, and an account of the Sydney trader Simeon Lord and his sandalwood and sealing ventures. #13069 A$

Forbes, whose collations are meticulous, makes no mention of the table of bank capital ( Corrected to the 5th of January, 1786 ) opposite page 286, and there seems no obvious reason for its inclusion, except for references to South Sea stock. The table is headed (To face Page 286.), but it seems likely that this is an accidental inclusion from another contemporary publication: it has clearly been present in this copy since its original collation.
