Captain Cook's Voyages Round The World is a historical account of the three voyages undertaken by Captain James Cook between 1768 and 1779. The book was written by Cook himself and was first published in 1897. The book provides a detailed description of the voyages, which took Cook and his crew to various parts of the world, including the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. Cook's explorations were significant in that they opened up new trade routes and provided valuable information about previously unknown parts of the world. Cook's first voyage was primarily focused on observing the transit of Venus, while his second voyage was aimed at exploring the South Pacific and finding the elusive southern continent. The third voyage was focused on finding a northern passage to Asia. Captain Cook's Voyages Round The World is an important historical document that provides a firsthand account of one of the most significant explorations in history. The book is filled with detailed descriptions of the people, places, and events that Cook encountered during his voyages, and it provides valuable insights into the mindset of explorers during the Age of Discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
