Description
"This, the first biography of Cook, is in some respects disappointing. It contains no particulars of his private life ... Places Cook in a number of ships in which he never served. 'The account of Cook's death is derived from David Samwell': - Holmes. Reprinted in numerous complete and abridged editions and a French, a German and a Spanish translation. Most later abridgements have title: 'A narrative of the voyages round the world, performed by Captain James Cook with an account of his life during the previous and intervening periods.'" -- Strathern, G. M., & Edwards, M. H. (1970). Navigations, traffiques & discoveries, 1774-1848: A guide to publications relating to the area now British Columbia. Victoria, BC: University of Victoria, p. 154-155.
