12, LVI, 344; [4], 309, [1 blank] pp.First edition of the French translation of the best of the unofficial accounts of Cook's first voyage, followed by an extensive summary of Cook's second and third voyages which takes up most of the second volume. Sydney Parkinson (1745?-1771) was engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to accompany him in the Endeavour to the South Seas, as natural history draughtsman. He made numerous botanical drawings as well as landscapes, portraits of local chiefs etc. "Banks spoke highly of his "unbounded industry" in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he anticipated. His observations, too, were valuable, and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in the journal are of great interest" (Hill).Parkinson died on January 26, 1771, on the homeward voyage, and was buried at sea. By the terms of his will, his brother Stanfield claimed all of his drawings and proceeded to make preparations, with the assistence of Dr. Kenrick, for a rival publication to Hawkesworth's authorized account of the voyage. Hawkesworth succeeded in court in delaying the Parkinson publication till his own edition would have been published, and he further excluded mention of Parkinson in his account. Before the actual publication in 1773, Stanfield Parkinson died of insanity. The present French translation adds an extensive introduction by the translator Captain Henri and the extensive summary of Cook's second and third voyages as added to the 1784 reissue of the original English edition. With the bookplate of Franz Pollack-Parnau (1903-1981), descendant of a Jewish industrialist family from Vienna, who accumulated an impressive library in the family palace on Schwarzenbergplatz, library stamps of the Verein Humanitas from Vienna and a related owner's inscription on both half-titles.

London, printed for Stanfield Parkinson, 1773.Large 4to. Contemporary polished calf, skilfully rebacked, spine gilt with red morocco title label. With engraved frontispiece portrait by J. Newton, engraved map and 26 engraved plates. XXIII,212 pp. + errata leaf. First edition of the principal alternative account of Cook s first voyage. - 'This is an account of the first expedition under the command of Captain Cook, 1768-1771. Parkinson was engaged as natural history draughtsman by Sir Joseph Banks, to accompany him and Captain Cook in the Endeavour to the South Seas. Parkinson made numerous drawings of botanical and other subjects, including landscapes and portraits of native chiefs. After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia. On leaving for the Cape of Good Hope, Parkinson succumbed to fever and dysentery and was burried at sea' (Hill p.462). Parkinson's manuscripts and drawings became a matter of dispute. Banks considered that they were his, while Parkinson' brother Stanfield claimed them under the provisions of his brother's will. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending publication of this work, he obtained an injunction to prevent it appearing until some time after the official account. 'Although physically the most impressive of the unofficial narratives the work's merit lies in its sidelights on incidents during the voyage' (NZNB). The book includes important vocabularies of the languages of Tahite, New Zealand, New Holland, Savoo, Batavia (Low Malay), the coast of Malabar, Sumatra, Ceram, Madagascar, and of the natives on the river Gambia in Africa. This is the first work to identify the kangaroo by name, and Parkinson is the first professional artist to set foot on Australian soil. - (Some offsetting of the plates). - With armorial bookplate of Waldham Wyndham. - A very attractive large paper copy.Sabin 58787; Hill 1308; NZNB 4466; Du Rietz, Kroepelien, 944; Beddie 712; O'Reilly & Reitman 371.

The scarce and beautifully hand-coloured issue of the expanded second edition, Du Rietz noting that it was "apparently issued in less than 400 copies". The first of 1773 was not issued in a coloured version, nor did it include the double-hemisphere map showing the routes of Cook's three voyages. We have traced only seven copies of this coloured issue in commerce in the last 40 years. Sydney Parkinson (d.1771) was "the first European artist to set foot on Australian soil, to draw an authentic Australian landscape, and to portray Aboriginals from direct observation" (ADB). He joined Cook's expedition as a natural history draughtsman at the behest of Sir Joseph Banks, and "with great diligence and flair made at least 1,300 drawings, many more than Banks had expected" which also included some of the earliest European views of the South Pacific. His valuable observations include the first published use of the word "kangaroo" (as "kangooroo", p. 149), and his extensive vocabularies of South Sea tongues. After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia, where Parkinson contracted malaria and dysentery, dying shortly after the departure for the Cape of Good Hope. The hand-colouring in this copy is particularly vivid, superbly complementing Parkinson's exquisite craftsmanship. The gouache-like quality of the paint emphasizes the striking scenery and delicate portraits of indigenous peoples. Parkinson's book caused some controversy and its publication was not without difficulty. After the expedition, Parkinson's effects including his journal were put in Banks's charge. Notably, "they included a journal in which publishers were likely to be interested, for it contained much colourful detail not in those kept by Banks and Cook" (ODNB). Banks consented to lend it to the Parkinson family after Sydney's brother, Stanfield promised not to publish or copy the papers. "Convinced the family had the better claim, Stanfield defiantly arranged for its publication, forcing John Hawkesworth, entrusted with editing the official narrative of the voyage, to take out a forestalling injunction" (ibid.). John Fothergill (1712-1780) a physician and patron of Parkinson, was brought in to mediate. Once Hawkesworth had published his account in 1773, the injunction was lifted and Stanfield brought out his own edition of the journal. Its preface, ghost-written by a Dr. Kenrick, was considered by Fothergill to be so misrepresentative of Banks's actions that he bought up all remaining copies of the first edition shortly after. The unsold sheets from the first edition were republished as the second by John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815), complete with a measured riposte to the earlier preface. This second edition has additional material in the form of a prefatory "Advertisement" by the editor, Lettsom; 18 pages of "explanatory remarks" by Fothergill, commenting on Stanfield's original preface; and a four-page postscript to the preceding. There is also a 214-page appendix summarizing the voyages of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and Bougainville, as well as an epitome of Cook's second and third voyages. The double-hemisphere map traces the entirety of Cook's voyages, making the second edition one of the earliest published works to gather information on all three voyages. Provenance: from the celebrated colour plate library of Norman Bobins.

A four-page "Gomeldon" section is found in some copies, though not present here. It constitutes a letter from Parkinson written in Batavia to his cousin Jane Gomeldon, her reply, and a poem addressed by her to Parkinson. Quarto (342 x 262 mm). Contemporary tree calf, professionally rebacked to style, flat spine, red morocco label, richly gilt in compartments, covers with gilt roll border, red speckled edges, Turkish pattern marbled endpapers. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Parkinson by James Newton, engraved double-page twin-hemisphere world map showing the tracks of Cook's three voyages, engraved by Samuel John Neele, and 27 numbered plates (including a map of New Zealand); the portrait and all maps and plates finely coloured by a contemporary hand. A few minor abrasions to binding, marginal worm trails in second part (2F to 2S), some light offsetting from plates to text, plate XV with marginal repair, pale marginal water staining and slight discolouration to a number of leaves at end, these professionally cleaned, errata leaf neatly repaired.

Erstausgabe
Two volumes, octavo, six folding engraved plates after Parkinson, a handsome set in contemporary French mottled calf, flat spines gilt, double red and tan morocco labels. First French edition, first issue: the artist's account of Cook's first voyage and the discovery of eastern Australia. Translated by C. Henri from the 1784 English edition, it also contains material from later voyagers updating the account, including the experiences of the Forsters on the second voyage. This is the octavo issue noted by Kroepelien as preceding the otherwise identical quarto of the same year. Parkinson had been employed in 1767 by Sir Joseph Banks, who thought so highly of his work that he arranged for the young man to join him on Cook's first voyage. When the expedition's draughtsman Alexander Buchan died at Tahiti, Parkinson was called on to take over all of the topographical work, completing some 1300 sketches, quite apart from compiling vocabularies in Tahiti and New Holland. At the end of the voyage, en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope, he died of a fever, and after the return of the Endeavour ownership of his manuscripts and drawings was disputed: Banks considered that they were his, while Parkinson's brother Stanfield claimed them under the provisions of his brother's will. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending publication of this work, he got an injunction to delay its appearance until some time after his official account, and, despite having used Parkinson's work extensively, retaliated by deliberately omitting Parkinson's name from the narrative: even the botanical illustrations in the official account have no credit to the artist. Some of the bibliographical history of this work is quite complex. An extended note by Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue explains that this octavo issue, although textually identical to a quarto issue published the same year by the same publisher, is actually the genuine first issue (du Rietz demonstrates from an error in the signatures that the quarto was re-imposed). Du Rietz knew the octavo only from the copy in the University of Oslo, although no complete census of the two issues has been attempted. A note in O'Reilly-Reitman suggests - as if we needed more complexity - that the number of plates is uncertain, as they examined copies with any number between five and eight; nonetheless, six plates is the standard collation. . A few leaves a little foxed; a very good copy.

First edition with the very rare "Explanatory Remarks" by Fothergill and postscript. Complete with frontispiece and 27 engraved plates (including 1 map). xxiv, 22, 212, 2 pp. Imperial 4to. With The Rare Explanatory Remarks by Fothergill. First edition of this important account of Cook's first voyage, based on the journal of Parkinson, who had been engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to serve as natural history draughtsman aboard the Endeavour. Parkinson died of dysentery on the homeward voyage, and his account was transcribed and published by his brother Stanfield Parkinson, who was forced by injunction to delay publication until Hawkesworth's official account appeared. "Parkinson made numerous drawings of botanical and other subjects, including landscapes and portraits of native chiefs . Banks spoke highly of his 'unbounded industry' in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he anticipated. His observations, too, were valuable, and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in his journal are of great interest" (Hill). This copy includes the rare "Explanatory Remarks" by John Fothergill, a Parkinson family friend who mediated an agreement between Stanfield Parkinson and Banks, both of whom laid claim to the journal, which would allow for the publication of the book. When Stanfield Parkinson included a scurrilous preface attacking Banks and misrepresenting his actions, an offended Fothergill purchased the remaining copies, inserting into them these 22 pages of remarks which sought to set the record straight. In 1784 he brought out a new edition of Parkinson's account which included the remarks, but copies of the first edition which include them are scarce on the market.
