Grimm and 24 after Parkinson). Contemporary marbled boards with vellum corners, rebacked in calf, retaining original red morocco lettering piece Large-paper copy of Parkinson's important illustrated account of Cook's first voyage. "Parkinson was engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to accompany him and Captain Cook in the Endeavour to the South Seas, as natural history draughtsman . After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia. On leaving for the Cape of Good Hope, Parkinson succumbed to fever and dysentery and was buried at sea. Banks spoke highly of his 'unbounded industry' in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he had anticipated. His observations, too, were valuable, and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in his journals are of great interest. Upon Banks' return to England, Stanfield Parkinson, Sydney's brother, claimed all the drawings made by his brother in his spare hours, as well as journals and collections, under a will made before Sydney Parkinson left England. Following the dispute, his writings were lent to Stanfield Parkinson, who transcribed them and prepared them for publication, but an injunction was obtained . to restrain him from publishing until after the appearance of . Hawkesworth's official account" (Hill). Parkinson's drawings stand as one of the chief visual sources for the voyage: he produced a large number of magnificent botanical, natural history and ethnographical drawings of Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. At the time, these drawings offered Europe its first view of life in the South Pacific. The work contains extensive descriptions of Australia and New Zealand, and is the first work to properly identify the kangaroo by name. A major journal for Cook's first voyage.

Large 4to. (13 3/16 x 10 5/8 inches). xxiii, [1], 22, [2], 212, [2]pp. 26 engraved plates, map, and engraved frontispiece portrait. Contemporary polished calf ruled in gilt, edges tooled in gilt, spine gilt extra, gilt morocco label. Provenance: John Smyth of Heath (bookplate on front pastedown) Parkinson's important illustrated account of Cook's first voyage, with handsome plates and the rare explanatory remarks. An attractive, wide-margined copy of the first edition of this important narrative, with the rare section of Explanatory Remarks by John Fothergill in a very fine contemporary calf binding. Parkinson accompanied Capt. James Cook on his first voyage to the South Pacific and New Zealand, serving as draughtsman under naturalist Joseph Banks. As botanical artist for the Endeavor voyage, Parkinson produced a large number of magnificent botanical and natural history drawings of Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. His untimely death near the end of the voyage while en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope resulted in a dispute between his brother Stanfield and Banks over ownership of his manuscripts and drawings. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending publication of this work, he sought and received an injunction to prevent its appearance until sometime after the official account was issued. Hawkesworth went so far as to omit mention of Parkinson's name from the official account, and even failed to give him credit for his botanical illustrations. The present work stands as the most attractive of the unofficial accounts of Cook's first voyage. It contains extensive descriptions of Australia and New Zealand, and is the first work to properly identify the kangaroo by name. The handsome plates are from Parkinson's drawings, depicting natives of Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, and New Zealand; scenes in Tahiti and New Zealand; and native artifacts. Also included are several vocabularies of South Sea languages. This first edition was published in 1773. Some years later, Stanfield Parkinson went insane and the unsold sheets of the book were sold to Dr. Fothergill, who added a section of "Explanatory Remarks" and a Postscript in order to counter Stanfield's ill-tempered preface. This copy includes this rare section of extra text, almost never seen with the first edition. This copy bears a distinguished provenance, with the bookplate of John Smyth of Heath Hall. Smyth (1748- 1811) had a prolific public career, serving as a Member of Parliament and the Board of Trade, a Lord of the Treasury, Master of the Royal Mint, and Lord of the Admiralty.

First Edition
First edition with the very rare "Explanatory Remarks" by Fothergill and postscript. Complete with frontispiece and 27 engraved plates (including 1 map). xxiv, 22, 212, 2 pp. Imperial 4to. With The Rare Explanatory Remarks by Fothergill. First edition of this important account of Cook's first voyage, based on the journal of Parkinson, who had been engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to serve as natural history draughtsman aboard the Endeavour. Parkinson died of dysentery on the homeward voyage, and his account was transcribed and published by his brother Stanfield Parkinson, who was forced by injunction to delay publication until Hawkesworth's official account appeared. "Parkinson made numerous drawings of botanical and other subjects, including landscapes and portraits of native chiefs . Banks spoke highly of his 'unbounded industry' in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he anticipated. His observations, too, were valuable, and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in his journal are of great interest" (Hill). This copy includes the rare "Explanatory Remarks" by John Fothergill, a Parkinson family friend who mediated an agreement between Stanfield Parkinson and Banks, both of whom laid claim to the journal, which would allow for the publication of the book. When Stanfield Parkinson included a scurrilous preface attacking Banks and misrepresenting his actions, an offended Fothergill purchased the remaining copies, inserting into them these 22 pages of remarks which sought to set the record straight. In 1784 he brought out a new edition of Parkinson's account which included the remarks, but copies of the first edition which include them are scarce on the market.

[2],xxiii,22,212,lxxi,[213]-353,[2]pp., including errata leaf, plus frontispiece portrait, double-page map, and twenty-seven plates. Large quarto. Modern three-quarter calf and marbled boards, spine tooled in blind and gilt, raised bands, leather label. Small closed tear near gutter of title page, repaired with tape. Slight chipping to edges of first and last leaves, light scattered foxing, slight offsetting from plates, dampstains to the lower corner of a few leaves. A very good copy. A large-paper copy of the second and best edition of Parkinson's journal, made up partially of the reissued sheets of the first edition and partially of added material published herein for the first time. Parkinson accompanied Captain James Cook on his first voyage to the South Pacific and New Zealand, as a draughtsman in the employ of the naturalist Joseph Banks. After the expedition had explored Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, all of which Parkinson depicted in numerous drawings, the ship called at Batavia on the way home. There the artist contracted fever and died, in 1771. His effects were conveyed back to England, where they were prepared for publication by his brother, Stanfield, who soon fell out with his late brother's employer, Banks. The first edition was published in 1773, after an injunction forced Stanfield to wait until the appearance of Hawkesworth's account. Some years later, the unsold sheets of the book were sold to Dr. John Fothergill. Fothergill added "explanatory remarks" to Stanfield's ill- tempered preface (in actuality the work of Dr. Kenrick), a double-sheet map of the world, a history of other important journeys, and a summary of Cook's explorations (including content on Hawaii) which almost doubled the size of the book, binding this new material with the sheets of the first section and supplying a new titlepage. By virtue of the amount and quality of its additional content, this second edition is considered the best, combining as it actually does both editions in one. Sydney Parkinson executed the original drawings for twenty-three of the twenty-seven plate, including images depicting natives of Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti and New Zealand, scenes in Tahiti and New Zealand, native artifacts, and more. Parkinson's original artwork and these engravings made from it are one of the chief visual sources for Cook's first voyage, and one of the first views European observers had of such South Pacific scenes. Parkinson's journal also contains some of the first natural history observations published on the region. Also contains vocabularies of the "languages of Otaheite, New Zealand, new Holland, Savoo and Sumatra, of the Malayan language spoken at Batavia, called the low Malay, and the language of Anjenga on the coast of Malabar, called the high or proper Malay." Parkinson did not draw the map of New Zealand, plate 2 (by Alexander Buchan) or plates 13 and 26 (by S.H. Grimm). A wide-margined, large paper copy of this major source for Cook's first voyage. According to Holmes, only 400 copies of this edition were printed. HILL 1309. FORBES 82. HOLMES, CAPTAIN COOK 49. BEDDIE 714. SABIN 58787. TAXONOMIC LITERATURE 7344.

The scarce and beautifully hand-coloured issue of the expanded second edition, Du Rietz noting that it was "apparently issued in less than 400 copies". The first of 1773 was not issued in a coloured version, nor did it include the double-hemisphere map showing the routes of Cook's three voyages. We have traced only seven copies of this coloured issue in commerce in the last 40 years. Sydney Parkinson (d.1771) was "the first European artist to set foot on Australian soil, to draw an authentic Australian landscape, and to portray Aboriginals from direct observation" (ADB). He joined Cook's expedition as a natural history draughtsman at the behest of Sir Joseph Banks, and "with great diligence and flair made at least 1,300 drawings, many more than Banks had expected" which also included some of the earliest European views of the South Pacific. His valuable observations include the first published use of the word "kangaroo" (as "kangooroo", p. 149), and his extensive vocabularies of South Sea tongues. After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia, where Parkinson contracted malaria and dysentery, dying shortly after the departure for the Cape of Good Hope. The hand-colouring in this copy is particularly vivid, superbly complementing Parkinson's exquisite craftsmanship. The gouache-like quality of the paint emphasizes the striking scenery and delicate portraits of indigenous peoples. Parkinson's book caused some controversy and its publication was not without difficulty. After the expedition, Parkinson's effects including his journal were put in Banks's charge. Notably, "they included a journal in which publishers were likely to be interested, for it contained much colourful detail not in those kept by Banks and Cook" (ODNB). Banks consented to lend it to the Parkinson family after Sydney's brother, Stanfield promised not to publish or copy the papers. "Convinced the family had the better claim, Stanfield defiantly arranged for its publication, forcing John Hawkesworth, entrusted with editing the official narrative of the voyage, to take out a forestalling injunction" (ibid.). John Fothergill (1712-1780) a physician and patron of Parkinson, was brought in to mediate. Once Hawkesworth had published his account in 1773, the injunction was lifted and Stanfield brought out his own edition of the journal. Its preface, ghost-written by a Dr. Kenrick, was considered by Fothergill to be so misrepresentative of Banks's actions that he bought up all remaining copies of the first edition shortly after. The unsold sheets from the first edition were republished as the second by John Coakley Lettsom (1744-1815), complete with a measured riposte to the earlier preface. This second edition has additional material in the form of a prefatory "Advertisement" by the editor, Lettsom; 18 pages of "explanatory remarks" by Fothergill, commenting on Stanfield's original preface; and a four-page postscript to the preceding. There is also a 214-page appendix summarizing the voyages of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and Bougainville, as well as an epitome of Cook's second and third voyages. The double-hemisphere map traces the entirety of Cook's voyages, making the second edition one of the earliest published works to gather information on all three voyages. Provenance: from the celebrated colour plate library of Norman Bobins.

A four-page "Gomeldon" section is found in some copies, though not present here. It constitutes a letter from Parkinson written in Batavia to his cousin Jane Gomeldon, her reply, and a poem addressed by her to Parkinson. Quarto (342 x 262 mm).
