We’re delighted to see some favourite books back with us. A long-time collector and friend of Hordern House has asked us to catalogue his collection for sale.

The fifth part, just published,  offers a selection relating to the voyages of Captain Cook, view here

The first four parts, previously released:
Part 1: Early voyage and discovery books and several voyage collections, here;
Part 2: Imaginary voyage books, here;
Part 3: English voyage books before Cook, here;
Part 4: French voyage books to 1800, here.

The sixth part, currently in preparation, will relate to the French "grands voyages".
