Original olive cloth with black titling to spine and front cover black device of eagle over depiction of American flag at the North Pole on front cover. Cook's original purpose in exploring the region west of Greenland was ostensibly to organize a hunting expedition. Just north of Etah Cook decided that conditions were good enough for an assault on the North Pole and set out on his journey over the sea ice with two Eskimo companions two sledges and 26 dogs. Cook is one of the most controversial figures in the history of polar exploration. His supporters claim that he was the hero of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition the first to climb Mt. McKinley and the first to stand at the North Pole allegedly only four days before Robert Peary. Others insist that Cook faked his claims to both Mt. McKinley and the North Pole and continued a career of deceit by using the mail to defraud investors in a Texas oil promotion for which he was convicted and spent five years in federal prison. The endless controversy and debate continues over what Cook's true accomplishments were. Ricks: p.70; Smith: 1976; Wickersham: 4904 later printing.

Wear to extremities internally fine and clean. 24 366 10 pp. � First Swedish translation of the official account of Cook's second voyage and Georg Forster's unofficial Voyage round the World.<br><br>"Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century" Printing and the Mind of Man p.135. <br><br>"The success of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition described in the present work which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents. The men of this expedition became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. 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 Norfolk Island � Cook discovered and charted South Georgia after which he called at Cape Town St. Helena and Ascension and the Azores. This voyage produced a vast amount of information concerning the Pacific peoples and islands proved the value of the chronometer as an aid to finding longitude and improved techniques for preventing scurvy" Hill p.123 hardcover‎

‎Cook Judith‎

‎To Brave Every Danger : The Epic Life of Mary Bryant of Fowey Highwaywoman and Convicted Felon Her Transportation and Amazing Escape from Botany Bay‎

‎London: Macmillan 1993. Book. Fine. Cloth. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This biography tells the story of a woman who lived totally outside the conventions of her time Mary Bryant a Cornish fisherman's daughter turned highway robber. Sentenced to hang in 1786 she was instead transported to Australia from where she made a daring escape only to be recaptured and brought back to London chained to the ship's deck in an open cage. Imprisoned in Newgate and again threatened with death her cause was championed by James Boswell who was so taken by her that he defended her at her trial winning her first a reprieve and then a full pardon. May Bryant's life reads like romantic fiction yet this quietly spoken woman from a respectable home who was not considered conventionally attractive lived more dangerously than any fictitious heroine. Judith Cook has pieced together her life from various sources including Boswell's diaries and archive material in Australia Holland and the United States.256pp. Macmillan Hardcover‎

Reliures en demi basane fauve à coins d'époque. Dos à nerfs orné de filets. Pièce de titre de basane beige avec filet d'encadrement, pièce de tomaison de basane noire ornée.

Achever la reconnaissance du globe par son troisième voyage, telle fut la mission royale et l'ambition du capitaine Cook. Celui-ci se déroula entre 1776 et 1780, principalement dans l'océan Pacifique, et vit la mort de Cook dans l'île d'Hawaï. La Résolution et le Discovery sillonnèrent également la côte de l'Alaska dans l'espoir d'y découvrir le passage du détroit de Béring. Après la mort de Cook, Clerke, commandant du Discovery prit la tête de l'expédition et chercha à nouveau à découvrir le passage au nord, mais cette fois par le nord-ouest, mais il mourut de phtisie au large du Kamchatka, seulement 6 mois après son commandant, sans avoir réussi. Intéressante introduction générale qui offre une bibliographie des circumnavigations. [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]‎

‎COOK'S SECOND VOYAGE.‎

‎A second Voyage round the World in the Years MDCCLXXII LXXIII LXXIV LXXV. By James Cook Esq. Commander of His Majesty's Bark the Resolution. Undertaken by Order of the King and encouraged by a Parliamentary Grant of Four Thousand Pounds. Drawn up from Authentic Papers.‎

‎London Printed for the Editor: Sold by J. Almon opposite Burlington-House Picadilly; And Fletcher & Hodson Cambridge 1776. . First edition. 4to 30.75 x 25 cms 4102 2 errata pp. uncut in original boards neatly rebacked to style light brown stain to inner upper quarter of pages through to C1 spotting to last 6 pages overall a super rarity in excellent condition well preserved in modern blue cloth box red morocco label. The rarest of all the surreptitious accounts of Cook's voyages issued with a title phrased to mislead the public into believing it to be Cook's own account it was initially accepted as an authentic account but the book was so quickly exposed and denounced that very few copies of the first issue appear to have found buyers and it is extremely rare. Following the return of the Third Voyage with news of Cook's death in 1780 and the subsequent heightened public interest in Cook the original title-leaf was cancelled and replaced by a rephrased title-page with a new date now attributing authorship to 'An Officer on Board'. This ploy seems also to have been unsuccessful – the public was interested in the Third Voyage – and consequently that second issue is as rare as the first. Beaglehoe remarks that 'it recounts a few incidents not otherwise known which do not seem out of key with the voyage as a whole' but goes on to say that 'the rest is so palpably fake and in the most sensational terms that it must be regarded as original invention – on the basis perhaps of a reading of Marra or conversation with a stray sailor.'. Georg Forster declared that it was the work of a Cambridge undergraduate and subsequent opinion has tended to echo contemporary sentiment. Nevertheless Renard ventures that the account derives 'from the journal of one of the officers on board' while it has even been suggested that the journal of Lieutenant Pickersgill may have been the source. ESTC lists just sixteen copies worldwide of which only three are in the UK BL two copies Suffolk Record Office.
