Holmes 19 Howes C729a Lada-Mocarski 37.<br /> <br /> <p>The second edition of the official account of Cook’s final voyage with the same collation as the first edition of the previous year. The eagerly-awaited first edition sold out within days despite its price of four and a half guineas – roughly $800 in today’s money. The books were printed with great care for George Nicole bookseller to the King and A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean is one of his finest works. John Webber was the expedition’s official artist and his evocative illustrations contributed to the book’s commercial success.<br /> <br /> <p>James Cook 1728–1779 was one of the greatest navigators in maritime history. The son of a laborer he went to sea as a teenager and worked his way up the ranks switching from the merchant navy to the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw combat in the Seven Years War and proved himself good at surveying rivers and coastlines in Canada. When the Royal Society proposed an expedition to the south Pacific to observe the transit of Venus across the face of the sun Cook was chosen to command it. He sailed for Tahiti on the Endeavor in 1768 accompanied by an astronomer botanist and two artists. Cook observed the transit and then sailed south in accordance with his secret instructions from the Admiralty: to search for the fabled “Great Southern Continent†and claim it for Britain.<br /> <br /> <p>The mythical continent was not uncovered but the Endeavor completed the outlines of Australia and New Zealand confirming that they were unconnected to any other landmass. Cook took possession of the Australian eastern coast he had charted in the name of King George named it New South Wales and upon returning to England in 1771 was promoted to commander.<br /> <br /> <p>The newly minted commander wanted another stab at finding the Great Southern Continent this time supported by an additional ship. The Resolution and Adventure sailed out in 1772 and the Resolution became the first ship to cross the Antarctic circle. After sweeping the southern Pacific and charting and naming a number of islands Cook finally decided that the only continent south of Australia was the uninhabitable mass that likely existed beyond an ice barrier he could not cross. Nonetheless the voyage was scientifically significant and filled in many barren spaces on British maps. Cook was promoted yet again when he returned to England in 1775 by this time an international celebrity.<br /> <br /> <p>The following year Cook set out on his third voyage with the Resolution and Discovery. The mission was find a northern sea passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic and although that too was a failure the expedition accomplished a great deal else. The crew members were the first Europeans to make contact with the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands which Cook called the Sandwich Islands after one of his patrons. The captain surveyed 4000 miles of the Pacific Northwest coastline and the fine engraved plates in the Voyage’s atlas provide a valuable record of the people and places he encountered along his long journey.<br /> <br /> <p>That journey was to be his last. Cook had been well received when he first wintered in Hawaii but the reception was less warm when he returned after a storm damaged one of his ships. Hostilities between the Hawaiians and Europeans came to a head when the Discovery’s cutter was stolen and Cook came up with an ill-advised plan to hold Chief Kalani’opu’u-a-Kaiamamao as hostage against the boat’s return. An angry crowd confronted him on the shore and he was killed in the fracas along with four marines. The survey of Hawaii was completed by Cook’s replacement Captain Clerke and after another unsuccessful hunt for an Arctic passage the ships turned homeward.<br /> <br /> <p>Captain Cook’s violent death made the renowned navigator into something of a saint. One of his first lieutenants was James Burney beloved brother of the novelist Frances Burney and her reaction upon hearing the news was typical:<br /> <br /> <p>“How hard after so many dangers so much toil – to die in so shocking a manner – in an island he himself had discovered – among savages he had himself in his first visit to them rendered kind and hospitable and in pursuit of obtaining justice in a cause in which he had himself no interest but zeal for his other captain! He was besides the most moderate humane and gentle circumnavigator who ever went out upon discoveries; agreed the best with all the Indians and till this fatal time never failed however hostile they met to leave them his friends.â€<br /> <br /> <p>The gentleness of James Cook is up for dispute but the accuracy and impact of his work is not. His voyages of discovery considerably advanced the fields of geography astronomy ethnography and natural history. He laid the groundwork for the expansion of the British Empire changing the lives of millions of people around the world – for better and for worse. This account of his last and most important journey is a cornerstone of Pacific exploration literature and an essential historical resource. Printed by H. Hughes, for G. Nicol, bookseller to His Majesty, in the Strand; and T. Cadell, in the Strand unknown‎

Cook was sent by the Admiralty to ascertain whether Terra Australis really existed below the Antarctic Circle. <br /><br />Cook captained the first ship on record to cross the Antarctic Circle and the first to use the Larcum Kendall K1 chronometer. Although he discovered the South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia he did not gain sight of a Southern Continent and definitively disproved the Terra Australis theory. What he did see were the pacific islands between New Zealand and South America with much attention paid to the cultures and peoples he encountered. The plates show views plants and fauna indigenous handicrafts including weapons and most importantly eighteen portraits of Pacific Island peoples including New Zealand Tahiti Amsterdam Island Easter Island Marquesas Islands Raiatea Islands Bora Bora Tonga Vanuatu New Caledonia and Tierra del Fuego. <br /><br />Cook sailed aboard HMS Resolution whilst HMS Adventure was commanded by Tobias Furneaux. The two vessels were split up twice during their voyage: the first time they successfully met at the rendezvous at Queen Charlotte Sound in New Zealand the second time on their loop to Tonga they both made it back but missed each other by four days. Cook had returned first and set off again into the South Pacific leaving a message for his fellow captain. When Furneaux returned he lingered in New Zealand and lost ten crewmen in a clash with the M ori people after one of them broke a tapu i.e. taboo convincing him to make his return to Britain rather than chase Cook. His narrative is included at the end of the work.<br /><br />'Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer an excellent administrator and planner and probably the first sea captain to realize the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew…On his second voyage of 112 men on board the Resolution which he commanded Cook lost only one by disease - and that not scurvy - a unique achievement in his time' PMM.<br /> Beddie 1216; Hill 358; Holmes 24; PMM 223; Taurus 1.

Further visits were made to New Zealand and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island the Marquesas Tahiti and the Society Islands Niue the Tonga Islands the New Hebrides New Caledonia and Norfolk Island .

Presented by the dedicatee George III to the penitent Jacobite antiquary Andrew Lumisden Second and best edition of the first voyage first edition of the second and third voyages with the plates and maps for the first and second voyages bound separately. Unusually the plates for the second voyage have not been folded and are mounted on folio sheets. The set is bound uniformly with Kippis's work "the first English biography of Cook" Hill. This copy is inscribed on a preliminary blank in Volume I of the first voyage: "This fine and complete copy of Captain Cook's three voyages together with Lord Anson's voyage no longer present were a present which the King was graciously pleased to order for me for my attention in purchasing for his majesty's library several rare and curious books at the Duke de la Valliere's sale at Paris in spring 1784. Andrew Lumisden". Below Lumisden's signature is another inscription "Th Strange". The engraver Sir Robert Strange was Lumisden's brother-in-law. Andrew Lumisden 1720-1801 a Scottish Jacobite politician and antiquary "served as the under-secretary and the first clerk of the treasury to the Young Pretender Charles Edward Stuart "Bonnie Prince Charlie" throughout the campaign of 1745-6. He accompanied the army into England supplied money for its current expenses and left detailed and graphic manuscript accounts of the battles of Prestonpans Falkirk and Culloden. On the eve of the battle of Culloden 15 April 1746 special orders were given to ensure his safety as he carried with him 'the sinews of war' i.e. money and following the defeat he fled the field having first been entrusted with the safe keeping of the prince's seal" ODNB. After wandering the Highlands as a fugitive Lumisden returned to Edinburgh disguised as a lady's servant and escaped to the continent. He then became secretary of state to the exiled Jacobite court in Rome. With the arrival of Bonnie Prince Charlie Lumisden at first continued in this position. However he objected to the prince's drinking and womanizing and after an altercation left the Young Pretender's service. From 1772 he stopped writing annual letters to the Stuart princes and began to distance himself from their cause which bolstered a petition to allow him to visit Scotland once more. While in Paris he also bought a collection of rare books for George Prince of Wales which helped to secure his full pardon in 1778. As the joint founder of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Lumisden corresponded with figures such as Joseph Banks James Boswell Adam Smith and David Hume. His correspondence with Banks is commemorated in a letter dated 19 September 1783 viewable online in which he mentions staying with "my amiable and justly celebrated friend M. le Comte de Buffon" the great French naturalist. Lumisden continues "Words cannot express his gratitude to you for favoring sic him with the printed tables of the inclination and declination of the needle; which are to be given with Capt. Cooke's sic voyage which the public longs to see. He has already examined these tables but thinks that there are a few mistakes in them which must have proceeded either from the carelessness of the printer or the inaccuracy of the manuscript". This appears to be a reference to Appendix VII in the third voyage. 4 works in 12 vols 10 quarto 293 x 227 mm 2 folio 480 x 305 mm and 550 x 400 mm.

‎COOK, James‎

‎Autograph letter signed to Charles Thomas Coggan asking for the release of a press-ganged sailor‎

‎HMS Resolution at Deptford 1772. Slight wear along original folds but in excellent original condition. Autograph manuscript in ink on paper on one side of a single sheet small folio amounting to about 12 lines with a fine signature by Cook; docket-title on verso in a different hand. <p><p>Extremely rare: a full letter written entirely by Cook and signed boldly by him. The letter was written aboard HMS Resolution while the ship was at Deptford taking on final stores and provisions prior to sailing on Cook's arduous second voyage.</p> <p>In the letter dated 9 March 1772 and addressed to an official of the English East India Company Cook asks for the release of one of his men who has been press-ganged into the company's service. Such a letter written without the assistance of one of Cook's indefatigable clerks is particularly rare and attractive especially as the main corpus of material regarding his preparations for the second voyage takes the form of official correspondence frequently terse dealing with more conventional subjects.</p> <p>The letter reads in full:</p> <p>Sir</p> <p>Having received a letter from James Keaton belonging to His Majesty's Sloop Resolution under my command acquainting me with his being inticed on board the Devonshire belonging to the Hon. East India Company and there detain'd to serve as a soldier I beg you will order him to be discharged or delivered up to such persons as I shall send for that purpose. I am Sir</p> <p>Your Most Humble Servant</p> <p>James Cook</p> <p>To Mr. Coggin</p> <p>The activities of press-gangs at this period are well known and were a considerable hazard to a captain preparing to embark. This was especially true in 1772 for Cook who was enduring lengthy enforced delays in his preparations for the second voyage. Indeed a great many sailors were known to have "run" from the Resolution in the long months while the two vessels were going through their refit with an incredible fifty-eight recorded as having thus absconded and another thirty-nine discharged for various reasons see John Robson's online database.</p> <p>The depth of research that has been done regarding Cook's musters makes this manuscript document of especial interest as James Keaton is not otherwise known to Cook historians the similarly named "John Heaton" is recorded as running at the Nore on 14 May 1772 but Cook's hand is clear and the dates irreconcilable. It is also interesting that Keaton in Cook's words has been taken 'as a soldier' as his detachment of marines did not come aboard until 29 April 1772. Despite the bustle of Deptford it would seem that Cook was well informed about the fate of Keaton as the 499-ton East Indiaman Devonshire captain Robert Morgan was very likely in port; she later sailed from Portsmouth on 12 April 1772 see Charles Hardy A Register of Ships Employed in the Service of the Honourable the United East India Company p. 55.</p> <p>The letter is addressed to "Mr Coggin" undoubtedly a homophone for "Coggan" and almost certainly Charles Thomas Coggan one of the directors of the East India Company and Comptroller of Shipping. Coggan went on to a long and illustrious career in the company and by 1811 was the company's paymaster.</p> <p>The letter is not recorded in Beaglehole's calendar of documents for the second voyage although he does note three other letters apparently of the same day two to the Victualling Board and a third to Banks at a time when the naturalist was still intending to sail. Moreover while Beaglehole lists no fewer than ninety-two letters from Cook before he sailed on 13 July 1772 almost all of this material is quite boilerplate in form mostly addressed to the Admiralty or to official bodies such as the Victualling or the Navy boards. Other than the present urgent example the only letters not taking on a formal cast are one to Cook's friend Captain William Hammond two to Joseph Banks and a few to Cook's fellow officers on the Resolution or Adventure. Unlike most of the letters from this period and presumably because Cook wrote it himself in haste the text of this letter was never copied into the ship's record as would normally have been done by his clerk and thus does not appear in the Canberra Letter Book 1771-1778.</p> <p>This wonderful manuscript originally appeared for sale in the London dealer Francis Edwards' catalogue 904 1967 item 96 priced £330: in the same catalogue a copy of Magra's surreptitious account of the first voyage was priced £95. The export licence attached to the letter shows that it was sold to R.C. Bedell of Columbia Missouri.</p> </p> .
