London; J. Johnson; ***Ferguson 289; Hill 2, 974; Sabin One of four translations (one being an abridgement in one volume, 8vo only) published in London in 1798, here reprinted in Ferguson calls for an atlas of 44 plates, but it is doubtful that this was issued with this edition his entry for the first edition (1798) of this version (F. 270) makes no mention of an atlas probably it was only a binding variation with the plates in a separate atlas rather than bound up in the text volumes as directed by the publisher (one of the charts in Vol. III is in two sheets, which would account for the discrepancy in numbers). The voyage aroused intense interest but the ships were not heard of after leaving Botany Bay in 1788 and their fate was not positively determined until Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks at Vanikoro over 30 years later. #12603 A$
