Comprehending, among the greatest variety of the most interesting transactions, a faithful account of all the particulars relative to the unfortunate death of Capt. Cook, with his life, &c. &c. Including likewise all the curious remarks communicated to this country by Capt. Cook's principal assistants in performing and conducting these celebrated voyages, viz. Sir Joseph Banks, Dr. Solander, Dr. King, Dr. Hawkesworth, Dr. Forster, Mr. Forster, Capt. Clerke, Capt. Gore, Mr. Ellis, &c. &c. Together with a narrative of Capt.

Being the most accurate, elegant, and perfect edition, of the whole of Capt. Cook's voyages and discoveries ; &c. Ever published, and written in a more pleasing and elegant stile than any other work of the kind. Illustrated with (besides the curious and interesting cuts for Capt. Cook's first and second voyages, &c. &c. &c.) all the elegant, splendid, and fine large folio copper-plates, belonging to his third and last voyage, being views of places, portraits of persons, and historical representations of remarkable incidents during this celebrated navigator's voyage to the Pacific Ocean ; together with all the necessary maps, charts, plans, draughts, &c. Shewing the tracks of the ships, and relative to countries now first discovered, or hitherto but imperfectly known ; the whole (amounting to upwards of one hundred and fifty copper-plates, containing about two hundred and twenty most elegant and superb engravings) sinely engraved and accurately copied from the originals by the most eminent masters. It is proper to observe, that some other editions of these works (unnecessarily extended to many large volumes, by loose printing, blank paper, and other artisices practised by mercenary persons) would cost a purchaser the enormous sum of upwards of twenty guineas ; so that many thousands of persons who would with to peruse the valuable discoveries so partially communicated to the world, and view the astonishing fine copper-plates, have hitherto been excluded from gratifying their eager curiosity ; but this edition, by being published in only eighty six-penny numbers, (making, when completed, either one or two very large handsome volumes in folio) enables every person, whatever may be his circumstances, to become familiarly acquainted with those extraordinary and important voyages and discoveries, in the performance and prosecution of which such vast sums of the public money have been expended. Therefore as the price of this work is rendered so moderate and easy, the whole of Capt. Cook's voyages, &c. will be more universally read, and the obvious intention of the King and government, that the improvements and discoveries in these celebrated voyages might be communicated to the whole world, will of course be more fully answered. The whole of these voyages of Capt. James Cook, &c. being newly written by the editors from the authentic journals of several principal officers and other gentlemen of the most distinguished naval and philosophical abilities, who sailed in the various ships ; and now publishing under the immediate direction of George William Anderson, Esq. assisted, very materially, by a principal officer who sailed in the resolution sloop, and by many other gentlemen of the Royal Navy
