The dedication is not reproduced in this facsimile. This rare surreptitious account of Cook s First Voyage preceded Hawkesworth s official account by two years. It is the first published account of Cook s First Voyage and of his discovery of the Eastern Coast of Australia, which led to the Foundation of Australia eighteen years later. The authorship of the work is a matter of conjecture - it has been ascribed to JAMES MAGRA (or MATRA) and others, but the evidence is inconclusive. #26437 A$500.00

41 Jarman, Robert. JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE TO THE SOUTH SEAS, IN THE JAPAN, employed in the Sperm Whale Fishery, under the Command of Capt. John May. By Robert Jarman. First published at Beccles and London in 1838. Edited, with an Introduction, Notes, Chronology, and Index, by Robert M. Warneke, and faithfully reprinted from the original. Melbourne: Edition Renard 2009. 8vo, Special Limited New Edition; pp. XII, vi, 242, [243]-318; portrait, introduction, extensive notes, chronology, references and index; fully section-sewn on tapes and finely hand-bound in full grey goatskin, all edges dyed, with marker ribbon, housed in a buckram slipcase with title labels. Melbourne; Edition Renard; 2009. ***Special limited edition of 30 numbered copies only, within the overall limitation of 200 copies. A new edition of the very rare account first published in two issues in 1838 and until now never reprinted - see Forbes 1104, also Bagnall 2685 and Ferguson 2526 (and 2526a). Robert Jarman, the son of a printer at Beccles, joined the crew as a young man of twenty years on a whaling voyage to the South Seas in 1831. During the next three to four years young Robert s forecastle jottings were transformed into a lively and well-crafted tale. The primary theme is the hard, unrelenting search for whales, reflected in Jarman s methodical recording of encounters with other whalers and elaborated with graphic descriptions of the excitements and dangers of whaling with the inevitable accidents, injuries, and tragic deaths. After cruising the Japan Sea, the ship reached the Hawaiian Islands at the end of October 1832 and anchored at Honolulu. The author noted 18 whalers in port. He describes the harbor and the method by which ships were towed in, and the Honolulu Fort, and the town and its native people (Forbes). He tells also of surviving gales and near disaster when the Japan was dismasted in a hurricane, which forced the stricken ship to Sydney for extensive repairs. Jarman gives an interesting account of Sydney, with perceptive comments on convicts and their management and the Aboriginals and their customs including the use of the boomerang. Subsequently the ship cruised around Rotuma, the Fiji Islands and New Zealand before returning to England. Along the way Jarman gives accounts of visits to bays and islands to trade for fresh provisions, and of longer stays at various ports for wood, water and to benefit the crew. A welcome respite from the rigors and grinding repetition of shipboard life, Jarman was obviously captivated by those of the natives who were friendly, and he perceptively and sympathetically described their modes of life, customs, and the effects of European intercourse and colonization. The scope and appeal of this book is enhanced by some lengthy passages on natural history, including observations on the social behaviour of sperm whales and encounters with sharks, other fish and birds. Because of several chance but pertinent events he was able to include commentaries on several dramatic episodes of Pacific maritime history, such as the Bligh mutiny and its aftermath, and recent massacres of ships crews by islanders -- a constant fear for lightly-armed visiting whalers. #27822 A$695.00

London; John Murray; 1827. ***Ferguson 1130; Wantrup 84b; Abbey 573. Inserted before the halftitle in Volume I is an unrelated 16-page publisher s catalogue from Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, & Green, dated January 1827. This is the second issue of this work, as usually found, with the cancel title-pages. 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 1824. #43380 A$6500.00

60 [Marra, John]. JOURNAL OF THE RESOLUTION S VOYAGE, In 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775. On Discovery to the Southern Hemisphere, by which the Non-Existence of an undiscovered Continent, between the Equator and the 50th Degree of Southern Latitude, is demonstratively proved. Also a Journal of the Adventure s Voyage, in the Years 1772, 1773, and 1774. With an Account of the Separation of the two Ships, and the most remarkable Incidents that befel each. Interspersed with Historical and Geographical Descriptions of the Islands and Countries discovered in the Course of their respective Voyages. Illustrated with a Chart, in which the Tracks of both Vessels are accurately laid down, and other Cuts. [Edited by D. Henry]. London: Printed for F. Newbery, at the Corner of St. Paul s Church-Yard. 1775. Facsimile Edition; pp. [ii], xiv, 328, [2](blank); long folding chart, 5 plates; original imitation vellum; a fine copy; scarce. Amsterdam; N. Israel; 1967. ***Bibliotheca Australiana No. 15. This was the first published book to contain an account of the Antarctic regions based on actual knowledge. The track chart shows the three points of penetration of the Antarctic circle by the Resolution (the first accompanied by the Adventure - shortly afterwards the ships experienced great difficulty in keeping company due to the icy conditions, and were soon separated by a severe storm) and includes on the third occasion the notation land seen although the narrative makes it clear that this was by no means certain. Correspondence between Cook and the Admiralty indicates that the author was the Irishman, John Marra, whom Cook had picked up at Batavia on the Endeavour voyage, and who was gunner s mate on the Resolution. The work was edited by David Henry, editor and a voluminous contributor to the Gentleman s Magazine for many years, and author/ editor of An Historical Account of all the Voyages round the World, published in 4 volumes in 1773-4, to which in 1775 was added a fifth volume containing the Resolution voyage (i.e. the present account), and in 1786 a sixth, with an account of Cook s third voyage (Rickman s account). Hocken notes that The preface discloses considerable knowledge of private matters connected with the voyage, and gives an account of the causes which led Mr. Banks and his staff to withdraw in high dudgeon from the expedition at the last moment. The publication of Marra s work preceded Cook s Official Account by at least 18 months. #8236 A$500.00
