Edition Notes

"Vol. II."

Part of a CIHM set. For individual microfiches in this set see CIHM microfiche nos. 17751-17753.

Volume I has title: Captain Cook's voyages round the world.

"The narrative is written partly in the 1st person, following Cook's journal, and partly in the 3rd person, paraphrased from the official account ..." (Cf. New South Wales. Public Library, Sydney. Mitchell Library. Bibliography of Captain James Cook. Sydney, 1928, p. 10)--National Union Catalog pre-1956 imprints.

Includes Cook's third voyage, Phipps's voyage to the North Pole, and Governor Phillip's voyage to Botany Bay. The account of Phipps's voyage is by an anonymous author and is not to be confused with Commodore Phipps's journal of the same expedition, entitled "A voyage towards the North Pole" (Cf. National Union Catalog pre-1956 imprints).

"Directions to the binder, for placing the plates in Cook's Voyages"--Colophon.

Filmed from a copy of the original publication held by the Library Division, Provincial Archives of British Columbia. Ottawa : Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions, 1983.
