London: G. and W. Nicol, 1814 [charts dated 1814-1829] . 3 volumes including atlas folio. 2 volumes, 4to, [ii], ix, [x], cciv, 269; [ii], 613], text volumes with 9 engraved plates after William Westall, atlas folio [663 x 475mm.] with 16 engraved charts [9 double-page], 2 double-page coastal profiles, and 10 engraved botanical plates after Ferdinand Bauer, text nineteenth century calf, atlas nineteenth century half calf with marbled boards, Northern Lighthouse Board gilt stamp at head of spines, text lacking half titles, with plates offset onto text, some spotting, joints cracked, head and tail of spine of volume 1 rubbed and scrape to lower board, atlas with 5cm. tear to chart no 1 repaired, offsetting to some double-page charts and coastal profiles, atlas worn, scraped and joints with short split at base (3) Note: Flinders`s voyage to explore the entire coastline of Australia represented the first circumnavigation of the continent. `Such is the historical importance of this monumental work that no general collection of Australian books could be considered complete without it` (Wantrup). By 1822 several of the charts published in 1814 were obsolete so they were revised, and the whole atlas was reissued by the Hydographical Office of the Admiralty. Some plates were issued with the statement "Corrected to 1822" and the remaining plates, including the coastal profiles and botanical illustrations were issued with the revised imprint and the Hydrographical Office seal, and, in the case of the charts, with compass roses and rhumb-lines. The complete atlas was not again issued by the Hydographical Office, but as time passed individual plates were revised and reprinted, reprinted without revision, or withdrawn as necessary. In the present copy 8 charts are later issues of the maps, published by the Hydographical Office to the Admiralty rather than by G. & W. Nicol, and all 8 are watermarked "J. Whatman Turkey Mills 1834". These 8 charts comprise: Chart no. 1 [General chart of Terra Australis, or Australia from the surveys of Capt. Flinders and King, with additions from Lieut.

The original purpose of Cook`s first voyage was to observe the transit of Venus. This was accomplished at Tahiti but six months were then spent on the coast of New Zealand, which was circumnavigated and charted for the first time, as was the east coast of Australia. It was of course Cook who named New South Wales and naturalists on the expedition who named Botany Bay. The second voyage disproved the myth of the existence of a further southern continent and made the first crossing of the Antarctic Circle. Numerous further explorations were undertaken and discoveries made, including the New Hebrides, New Caledonia and South Georgia. Knowledge of the South Pacific was given a firm basis for the first time and the maps made then remain valid today. The final voyage was principally directed towards the search for a Northwest Passage from the Pacific, culminating in Cook`s tragic murder in the Hawaiian Islands. The second edition of the first voyage differs from the first in that it contains a Preface to the second edition, in which Hawkesworth replies to the charges made against him by Alexander Dalrymple, and in that each volume is separately paginated.
