Gillet', in a completely different setting and on smaller paper; Gosnell's edition is thought to have priority. Borba de Moraes is mistaken in citing a second edition 'similar in all details [to Gosnell's edition] except for the signature of the plates', that is, with 'J. Landseer direxit' rather than 'for Missionary Voyage': it is in fact Gosnell's edition in which the plates have 'J. Landseer direxit'.

After 208 days the vessel reached Tahiti, landing seventeen missionaries there, a further twelve at Tonga, and one on the Marquesas ... Several of the missionaries settled in Australia and founded families important in Australian history. The Duff proceeded from Tonga through the Fiji and Caroline Groups to Canton. In the course of this voyage the Duff Group was discovered and named and the knowledge of Pacific geography considerably extended' (Ferguson).
