ROBERTSON, George, edited by Hugh Carrington
The Discovery of Tahiti; a Journal of the Second Voyage of H. M. S. Dolphin Round the World. Under the Command of Captain Wallis, R. N., in the Years 1766, 1767 and 1768, written by her master George Robertson
8vo [22.5 x 14 cm]; lii, 292 pp, 6 plates including folding frontis view of HMS Dolphin in Matavai Bay, Tahiti, 4 maps including one folding, bibliog, index. original blind-stamped blue cloth, gilt vignette on front, gilt lettering on spine, a bright, fine and clean copy. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Wallis' travels in the Pacific followed Anson's and Byron's earlier voyages and included extensive exploration of the Magellan Straits and the Tuamotu Archipelago. Roberston's version of the voyage adds a different perspective and much additional information. This is the first printed version of Robertson's journal. Carrington's extensive introduction provides a useful historical point of view and gives much detail on the voyage. See Hill p. 555 for the 1955 edition. National Maritime Museum, I, 131: 'This journal, written by the master of the Dolphin under Wallis, covers the period when he joined her in the Thames in June 1766 until reaching Uea (Wallis Island) in the Western Pacific in 1767. Wallis' circumnavigation voyage in the Dolphin, 1766-8, included visits to Tahiti and the Tuamotu Archipelago'.

Recent cloth with lettering on the front cover; a fine copy. South Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 67 of 1875; the subtitle is 'Memo. - This Journal and the Plan accompanying it was placed at the disposal of the Government by the Hon. Thos. Elder MLC at whose expense the exploration was made'. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' gives details of Ross' interesting life: born in 1817 he joined Charles Bonney in the first cattle drive from the Goulburn River to Adelaide; after numerous adventures he was appointed leader of the advance exploration party for the overland telegraph line becoming in the process only the second to complete the crossing of the continent through the centre. 'At 57 Ross was engaged by Elder to lead an expedition to explore west of the Peake and to go on to Perth. Struggling against sandhills and mulga scrub he reached the South Australian border but barren country and brackish water forced him back'. His last words in this published account are: 'One drink or rain to give the horses one drink would have saved the expedition'. Ross died in poverty in Adelaide in 1903. McLaren 7953 and 14715 not noting the dimensions of the map. W.C. Cox, Government Printer] hardcover
