= Adams V 941. The rare first edition of this group of three texts on Aristotle's De Anima in one volume. Part of the curriculum of medical students was that they were expected to have studied and written about Aristotle's De anima. Conrad Gessner, who had studied medicine and was deeply interested in the human soul wrote his De anima in this tradition. It is the fourth of the works contained in this book and is published here for the first time. "Es ist Gessners Hauptverdienst, die fünf Sinne, die Mensch und Tier gemeinsam haben, über Aristoteles hinaus in Aussehen, Potenz und Akt klassifiziert zu haben." (A.-S. Goeing, in: Gessner-Katalog Zürich, 2016, S. 50). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXIII.

"The succes of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition, described in the present work, which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents. Cook proved there was no "Terra Australis" which supposedly lay between New Zealand and South America, but became convinced that there must be land beyond the ice fields. Further visits were made to New Zealand, and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island, the Marquesas, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Niue, the Tonga Islands, the New Hebridies, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island and a number of smaller islands (...) William Hodges was the artist with the expedition" (Hill). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXIV.

(Judd/ Lind p.1); "On his return from the second voyage Cook was promptly rewarded for his achievements (...). In 1776 he volunteered for his third and final voyage, with specific instructions to investigate the coasts of the north Pacific, and to settle once and for all the question of the northwest passage. (...) While on Hawaii [after his return from the Bering Sea] relationships with the natives deteriorated, resulting in the death of Cook (14.2.79) during a skirmish. After the theft by natives of one of the Discovery's boats, Cook had gone ashore with a party of marines. A scuffle ensued which compelled the party to return to their boats, but during the retreat Cook received a blow from behind and was subsequently overpowered." (Howgego C175).

= Beddie 1545; Sabin 16251; Cox I, p.63; Howgego C175; Forbes 69 ("This edition had a very wide circulation and is notable for its extensive index"); Hill 362: "An abridgment of Captain Cook's third voyage. This octavo edition is not to be confused with the second edition, which did not appear until 1785. This abridged account is preferred by some readers because, the nautical and technical parts having been deleted, the work reads more like an adventure." "Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands on this, his third voyage of discovery, and named them the Sandwich Islands in honor of his patron, the Earl of Sandwich." (Judd/ Lind p.1).

= Provenance: Castle Goring. First edition, published in the same year as the second, recognizable by the continuous pagination between vol. 2 and 3. Our copy with the Chart of the Straights of Magellan in vol.1 (not contained in earliest copies of the first edition). Cox I, p.19; Hill 782; Sabin 30934; Beddie 648; Henze II, p.713; Kroepelien 535; Smith p.46f. Contains the official account of Cook's first voyage commanding the Endeavour, edited from his journals by Hawkesworth and containing in the preceding sections the official accounts of the voyages of Byron, Wallis and Carteret. Hawkesworth's compendium contains the cream of English exploring voyages of the mid-18th century. "Hawkesworth was expected to add polish to the rough narratives of sea men, and to present the accounts in a style befitting the status of the voyages as official government expeditions, intended to embellish England's prestige as a maritime power." (Hill). The copy of the rare and striking portrait of Captain Cook that is bound with at the beginning of vol. I makes this an extra desirable copy (on this portrait see Beddie 3378).
