The dedication is not reproduced in this facsimile. This rare surreptitious account of Cook’s First Voyage preceded Hawkesworth’s official account by two years. It is the first published account of Cook’s First Voyage and of his discovery of the Eastern Coast of Australia, which led to the Foundation of Australia eighteen years later. The authorship of the work is a matter of conjecture - it has been ascribed to JAMES MAGRA (or MATRA) and others, but the evidence is inconclusive. #26437 A$500.00

London; John Murray; 1852. ***Sabin 18647 (third mention); Not in Ferguson; Freeman 17, but without the series title implied in his entry (and never present). The binding has the words ‘MURRAY’S COLONIAL & HOME LIBRARY’ in a circular design in blind on front cover, but only ‘MURRAY’ in gilt at foot of spine. Freeman’s commentary (page 36) also suggests that the binding of his 17 is devoid of any identification of the series: “gives no indication, in gilt or blind, that the work is one of a series; in this case the edges are sprinkled whereas they are white in the series cases. It was again reprinted in the same series in 1852 and put out in the same case as the third issue [i.e. that referred to above], this time with changed date ....” This copy therefore may represent an unrecorded variant. #66370 A$2000.00

Authorship is similarly ascribed (without comment) to Duns in the archive ‘Darwin Online’. This volume also includes (Art. IV) “Australian Ethnology” [pp. 366-388], a review of the 1859 Report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Council on the Aborigines; together with the Proceedings of Committee, Minutes of Evidence, and Appendices. ...

Melbourne; Edition Renard; 2009. ***Limited edition of 100 numbered copies within the overall limitation of 200 copies for sale. A new edition of the very rare account first published in two issues in 1838 and until now never reprinted - see Forbes 1104, also Bagnall 2685 and Ferguson 2526 (and 2526a). Robert Jarman, the son of a printer at Beccles, joined the crew as a young man of twenty years on a whaling voyage to the South Seas in 1831. During the next three to four years young Robert’s forecastle jottings were transformed into a lively and well-crafted tale. The primary theme is the hard, unrelenting search for whales, reflected in Jarman’s methodical recording of encounters with other whalers and elaborated with graphic descriptions of the excitements and dangers of whaling with the inevitable accidents, injuries, and tragic deaths. After cruising the Japan Sea, the ship reached the Hawaiian Islands at the end of October 1832 and anchored at Honolulu. He tells also of surviving gales and near disaster when the Japan was dismasted in a hurricane, which forced the stricken ship to Sydney for extensive repairs. Jarman gives an interesting account of Sydney, with perceptive comments on convicts and Aboriginals. The scope and appeal of this book is enhanced by some lengthy passages on natural history, including observations on the social behaviour of sperm whales and encounters with sharks, other fish and birds. #27824 A$195.00

Ferguson calls for an atlas of 44 plates, but it is doubtful that this was issued with this edition— his entry for the first edition (1798) of this version (F. 270) makes no mention of an atlas — probably it was only a binding variation with the plates in a separate atlas rather than bound up in the text volumes as directed by the publisher (one of the charts in Vol. III is in two sheets, which would account for the discrepancy in numbers). The voyage aroused intense interest but the ships were not heard of after leaving Botany Bay in 1788 and their fate was not positively determined until Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks at Vanikoro over 30 years later. #12603 A$3200.00
