Ensemble de 18 vol. in-8 et 3 vol. d'atlas in-4 de 52-67-88 planches, demi-veau havane, dos lisse orné de filets dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en veau vert (reliure de l'époque). Deuxième édition française après l'édition in-4 publiée la même année, et première édition au format in-8 des trois voyages de Cook.La traduction des deux premiers voyages a été assurée par Suard, et Demeunier pour le troisième voyage. James Cook, célèbre navigateur anglais, apporta une contribution très importante a la connaissance du Pacifique grâce a ses nombreuses levées hydrographiques, révélant l'existence d'un hémisphère océanique. Au cours de sa première expédition, de 1768 a 1771, il découvrit l'archipel des îles de la Société, la Nouvelle Zélande, les cotes orientales de l'Australie qu'on englobait jusqu'alors dans l'hypothétique continent austral. En 1772, lors de son second voyage, il visita des îles Marquises, les Nouvelles Hébrides et la Nouvelle Calédonie. Le troisième voyage eut lieu entre 1776 et 1780 dans l'océan Pacifique ; c'est lors de ce voyage que James Cook trouva la mort d'un coup de poignard à Hawaii.Provenance : Anthelme-Michel-Laurent de Migieu (1723-1788), marquis de Savigny-lès-Beaune, bibliophile bourguignon, avec ex-libris manuscrit à la plume, accompagné d?un prix d?achat, à la fin du 11e volume : Demigieu 1785.

Zustand: Very Good. This fascinating engraving is from Captain James Cook & John Hawkesworth's Relation des Voyages entrepris par ordre de Sa Majesté Britannique. Or A Voyage towards the South Pole, and Round the World. Performed in His Majesty's Ships the Resolution and Adventure, In the years 1772, 1773, 1774, and 1775. In which is included Captain Furneaux's Narrative of his Proceedings in the Adventure during the Separation of the Ships. The work was published in Paris by Hotel de Thou from 1778 to 1785. It is an account of Cook's second voyage on which he was directed to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible to search for any southern continent. "The famous accounts of Captain Cook's three voyages form the basis for any collection of Pacific books. In three great voyages Cook did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors had done together. He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge." (Hill) "Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century." (Printing and the Mind of Man p.135) "The success of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition, which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents . The men of this expedition became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. Further visits were made to New Zealand, and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island, the Marquesas, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Niue, the Tonga Islands, the New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, and a number of smaller islands. Rounding Cape Horn, on the last part of the voyage, Cook discovered and charted South Georgia, after which he called at Cape Town, St. Helena and Ascension, and the Azores . This voyage produced a vast amount of information concerning the Pacific peoples and islands, proved the value of the chronometer as an aid to finding longitude, and improved techniques for preventing scurvy."

The expedition lasted from 1768-1771 and resulted in the annexation of both Australia and New Zealand by Britain, won Cook fame, and led to his two subsequent voyages.

Second edition of the official account of Cook's first voyage. This edition, printed in the same year as the first, is preferred "as it is complete with the chart of the Strait of Magellan and the List of Plates, and contains new information in the form of a new preface [by Hawkesworth]" (Parsons). The primary purpose of Cook's voyage in Endeavour was the observation of the transit of Venus from Tahiti, which would enable the distance between the earth and the sun to be calculated. Another mission was to search for "Terra Australis", the great hypothetical southern continent balancing the northern land mass. The first voyage was to result in the discovery of the Society Islands, the circumnavigation of New Zealand, and the charting of the eastern coast of Australia. "Hawkesworth, an eminent London author, was chosen by Lord Sandwich and commissioned by the Admiralty to prepare these narratives for publication. [He] was expected to add polish to the rough narratives of sea men, and to present the accounts in a style befitting the status of the voyages as official government expeditions, intended to embellish England's prestige as a maritime power" (Hill). Although the book was a huge success, fast becoming a best-seller, it was disastrous for its editor: "He was publicly attacked on three different counts: by the captains for tampering with the texts of their journals, by prudish readers for reprinting descriptions of the sexual freedoms of the South Sea islanders, and by devout churchmen for impiety in the general introduction to the work, in which Hawkesworth had rashly challenged the doctrine of providential intervention. He was devastated by this critical barrage, and it was thought to be the main cause of his death. The rumour recorded by Malone that he killed himself with an overdose of opium is uncorroborated, but Fanny Burney's conviction that his health was destroyed by the vilification he suffered seems well founded" (ODNB). Hill 782; Howgego I, C173; Parsons Collection 90; Sabin 30934. Three volumes, quarto (290 x 235 mm). Contemporary diced calf, spines lettered direct, gilt single-fillet border to sides, spines and turn-ins, marbled endpapers, edges sprinkled blue. With 52 maps, charts and plates (most folding). Bindings expertly refurbished, a few marks to covers, scattered foxing, some offsetting (largely to or from plates), minor tear to plate 11 in vol. II. A very good copy.

Paris, Saillant et Nyon & Panckoucke, [1774] MDCCLXXIV, Prima edizione francese. Ex libris nobiliare. Professionale restauro alle cerniere ma esemplari in ottimo stato di conservazione, grandi margini. James Cook (Marton, 27 ottobre 1728 Kealakekua, 14 febbraio 1779) è stato uno dei più importanti esploratori britannici. Tra il 1768 e il 1779 compì tre viaggi nell'Oceano Pacifico nel corso dei quali realizzò il primo contatto europeo con le coste dell'Australia e le Hawaii, oltre alla prima circumnavigazione ufficiale della Nuova Zelanda. Il primo volume inizia con la spedizione in navigazione verso Rio de Janeiro, e copre il passaggio attraverso lo Stretto di Magellano, rappresentato in una dettagliata carta pieghevole, che spesso manca, qui presente. L'opera è riccamente illustrata con mappe, vedute di città, fauna e costumi locali. Il viaggio era destinato principalmente alle Indie Orientali, ma il vero scopo era fare scoperte nei mari del sud. Sbarcato in Patagonia, riferì degli indiani alti otto piedi e infine avvistò le Falkland che rivendicò come territorio inglese. Il viaggio toccò in fine Filippine, Sumatra, Capo di Buona Speranza prima di rientrare in Inghilterra. Cfr.

"The first voyage under Captain Cook's command on the Endeavour was primarily of a scientific nature. The expedition was to sail to Tahiti in order to observe the transit of Venus across the disk of the sun, to determine the earth's distance from the sun, and also to carry on the geographical discovery that John Byron had started. Entering the Pacific around Cape Horn, Cook reached Tahiti in 1769 and carried out the necessary astronomical observations.Leaving Tahiti in July, Cook discovered, named, and charted the Society Islands, and then, heading southwest, explored New Zealand, then headed towards Australia and discovered and charted the eastern coast for 2,000 miles, naming the area New South Wales. Both Australia and New Zealand were annexed by Britain as a result of this voyage which began in 1768 and ended in 1771." (Hill). Beddie 648; Hill (2004) 782; Holmes 5 2.
