COOK, James. Reize rondom de waereld. Vertaald door J.D. Pasteur. Leyden, Amsterdam, 's Hage, Honkoop, Allart en van Cleef, 1795-1803.13 volumes + index volume. Contemporary half calf (top of spines of 3 volumes sl. dam.) with morocco labels to spines. With engraved portrait, 13 engraved title-pages, 52 folding engraved maps by C. van Baarsch and 134 engraved plates (mostly folding) by J.S. Klauber. First Dutch edition; with bookplate of B.J. van Dongen. - First collected accounts of the three great voyages by James Cook (1728-1779), the first really scientific navigator, providing 18th century Europeans with their first virtually complete insight into the previously more or less unexplored region of the Pacifc.Volume I-III contain the life of Cook and his first voyage 1768-1771. The expedition sailed aboard HMS Endeavour to Tahiti, then sailed to New Zealand.where he mapped the complete coastline. He was the first European in New Zealand since Abel Tasman in 1643. Cook then voyaged west, reaching the southeastern coast of Australia near today's Point Hicks on 19 April 1770, and in doing so his expedition became the first recorded Europeans to have encountered its eastern coastline. Cook returned to England via Batavia. Volume IV-VII contain his second voyage 1772-1775. Cook commanded HMS Resolution on this voyage, while Tobias Furneaux commanded its companion ship, HMS Adventure. Cook's expedition circumnavigated the globe at an extreme southern latitude, becoming one of the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. On his return voyage to New Zealand in 1774, Cook landed at the Friendly Islands, Easter Island, Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. Volume VIII-XIII contain his third voyage 1776-1780. On his last voyage, Cook again commanded HMS Resolution, while Captain Charles Clerke commanded HMS Discovery. On this expedition he became the first European to begin formal contact with the Hawaiian Islands. From the Sandwich Islands, Cook sailed north and then northeast to explore the west coast of North America north of the Spanish settlements in Alta California. He charted the majority of the North American northwest coastline on world maps for the first time. Cook returned to Hawaii where he was killed in a fight between his men and the natives of Hawaii in 1779. 'Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations up the 19th century. Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer, an excellent administrator and planner, and probably the first sea captain to realize the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew' (P.M.M. p.135). - James Cook contributed much to European knowledge of the Pacific, several islands were encountered for the first time by Europeans and charting of large areas of the area was a major achievement. - (Some volumes sl. waterstained). - A fine set.Tiele 268; Cat.
