Endeavour Lines, The Newsletter of the Captain Cook Study Unit - Australia, Number 35, October 2000
The Journals of Captain James Cook
Edited by J.C. Beaglehole
Reissued by arrangement with the Hakluyt Society
This classic edition of Cooks journals, taken from the original manuscripts and providing a reliable and authoritative text, has been unavailable for some years, and its reissue will be warmly and widely welcomed. The volumes contain Cook's accounts of his three great voyages of discovery in the Endeavour, the Resolution and the Discovery. Introductions and detailed notes accompany the texts, providing necessary identifications and references, and giving additional information from other sources supplementing Cooks account. More extended extracts from the journals of Cooks shipmates are printed as appendices. A separate portfolio contains the manuscript charts and views drawn by Cook and his officers, which he regarded as an essential complement to his journals.
