The Three Voyages of Captain James Cook round the World Cook Banks Volume 1

The Three Voyages of Captain James Cook round the WorldAuthor(s): James Cook, Joseph Banks, John Hawkesworth\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781108084758, 978-1108084758\nSynopsis\nDuring Charles Darwin's 18316 voyage on the Beagle, his on-board library included 'Cook's voyages' (the edition is not specified). This illustrated 1821 edition, in seven volumes, is representative of the versions available in the early nineteenth century. Volumes 1 and 2 cover the first Pacific voyage of James Cook [tel], the object of which was to observe the 1769 transit of Venus from Tahiti. The text replicates the version published in 1773 by John Hawkesworth [tel] as part of a collection of 'Voyages in the Southern Hemisphere', which interwove Cook's account with botanical and ethnographical notes by the ship's naturalist, Sir Joseph Banks [tel]. The journals were only published separately much later: Cook's in.
