Of Cook
The Explorations of Captain James Cook in the Pacific (as told by selections of his own journals, 1768-1779) is the latest Cookana for this, the bi centenary year of Cook’s dis covery of the east coast of Australia. It is in fact adapted from an American Heritage Press edition of some years ago.
Sir Grenfell Price has edited passages of Cook’s journals into a running commentary of his three voyages—making of it a kind of potted Hakluyt, concise and readable. Geoffrey Ingleton, of Sydney, adds illustrations and decorations. Value at 55.95, An gus and Robertson.
