1982réf. 28467London:: Hakluyt Society 1982. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine set in Very Good plus dust jackets with gentle wear to the extremities. This four-volume set presents the previously unpublished journal of the principal naturalist on Cook's second voyage. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster J. R. Forster - principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage - was nevertheless recognised by many contemporaries as one of the ‘universal geniuses’ of the late 18th century. His journal of the voyage offers many new insights expressed at times in quite unrestrained language into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on the second and the most scientific and the most epic of Cook's voyages. However the circumstances of Forster's career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas. Consequently important works such as this journal which would have established him as the leading comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific have thus far remained obscure and seldom-used manuscripts.

Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Second Series volumes 152-155 and 139. First edition. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the literary and scientific achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster the author of this journal J R Forster Principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage was nevertheless recognized by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late eighteenth century. Despite Forster's diverse prodigious and sometimes brilliant output the constant circumstances of his career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas with the result that those many longer more epoch-making and polished works which would have established him as the leading pioneering comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific and a most competent student in those disciplines of Africa North America and Europe especially Russia have remained only as obscure and seldom-used manuscripts. After Forster's death in 1798 his books and manuscripts - 'there has never been . a private library in Germany to compare with it.' wrote the royal Librarian in Berlin - were sold to the royal Library of the King of Prussia later the Prussian State Library. Among the numerous Forster 'treasurers' deposited in Berlin as his six volume journal in the Resolution. As the journal o a highly literate landsman-at-sea it offers many new typically unrestrained insights into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on this the most scientific and epic of Cook's three voyages. It is also the fundament upon which George Forster wrote his classic travelogue A Voyage round the World 1777 that humane influence - in many translations - upon science and belles-lettres. It is too the key to the science and anthropology of this voyage the central document to understanding the naturalists' day-to-day work and finds. Set alongside the journals of Cook and his other principals - which it often surpasses intellectually and empirically - anthropologists ethnolinguists geographers geologists botanists zoologists especially ornithologists and medical and literary historians as well as students of James Cook and the eighteenth century mind will find much new observation and theory. For the two Forsters fashioned forces to influence Alexander von Humboldt and foretell Charles Darwin. Condition: Jackets with light edge wear spine ends rubbed else very good to fine in like jacket.

Octavo 8 3/4" x 6" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria embossed on front cover with cover edges blind stamped in original jacket. Edited by E G R Taylor. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society second series volume 121. First edition. William Bourne of Gravesend by trade a gunner was a successful writer of a new type of textbook. Neither a scholar not of gentle birth both of which were regarded as the prerequisites of authorship in the sixteenth century when scientific books were expected to appear only in universities and to be read only by those fluent in Latin Bourne nevertheless produced a whole series of technical manuals written in English for the artisans and craftsmen of his own class. A Regiment for the Sea which forms the core of the volume is perhaps the earliest technical manual written by an Englishman. It is not simply his rules for navigation for Bourne wrote much as he spoke so that out of this instruction book for sailors a clear picture of the man himself emerges: serious reliable patriotic and with this inborn impulse to pass on his knowledge to others. The first edition of 1574 is printed here in full with the additional material which was added to the 1580 edition. Taylor has also included two Almanackes. She has written an introductory section to each text and in her General Introduction she fills in the details of Bourne's life and discusses his various writings.
