After passing Tasmania, New Zealand, and many islands in the South Pacific, the crew sailed north and discovered the Christmas and Hawaiian Islands; onwards to their primary destination, the Northwest Coast of America and the Bering Strait, then returning south along the West Coast to California and back to Hawaii. It was during this second visit to Hawaii that Cook was killed, and the expedition continued under the leadership of Clerke and Gore, who led the crew to the eastern coasts of Siberia, and finally returned to England in 1780. Cook contributed to the advancement of geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere to a degree that none of his predecessors had been capable of doing. ?He was really the first scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge" (Hill). Further he states about this work that it is ??an abridgement of Captain Cook?s third voyage? preferred by some readers because, the nautical and technical parts having been deleted, the work reads more like an adventure.? (Hill).Taking over from Strahan and setting out to print the second edition, the present example of Cook?s third voyage, Hughs re-set the text; since, its typography is considered superior.

Although the signature is almost certainly not in the hand of the king, the document is docketed in pencil: 'Signature of his late beloved Majesty King George III on Copy of a Warrant retained by General Saml. Townsend'. Begins (in another hand): 'Whereas We are given to understand that our Trusty and Well beloved Major General Samuel Townsend Inspector General of the Recruiting Service is set insuper in the Account of Our Right Trusty and Well beloved Counseller Richard Rigby late Paymaster General of Our Forces for the Sum of Seventeen Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Four Pounds Fourteen Shillings and Eight Pence being Money Imprested to him for carrying on the above Service from the end of the year 1778, to the 24th. day of June 1786 [.]'. The document records that the original was signed by Pitt, Eliot and Aubrey, as 'Commissioners for auditing the Public Accounts', 'the Commissioners having recommended unto Us to discharge Major General Samuel Townsend from rendering any further Account of the same'.
