A lovely set of the first edition of Cook's Third Voyage, with a note of presentation in the atlas volume by Captain James King: "Thomas Venables The gift of Captain King." King was the author of the third text volume in the set and the preparer of Cook's journals that comprise the first two text volumes. Venables was probably a member of an ancient Cheshire landowning family, later involved in early Australian settlement. King began Cook's final expedition as the expedition's astronomer and as a lieutenant on the Resolution, but by the end of the expedition had been promoted to command of the Discovery and second-in-command. "At the time of Cook's death at Hawaii (14 February 1779) King was on shore in charge of the observatory. He had with him only a few men, but was reinforced by some of a boat's crew who had been rowing off the mouth of the bay before the disturbance with the Hawaiians began. This brought the number of the party up to twenty-four, and fortifying themselves in a neighbouring heiau, or open-air temple, they succeeded in repelling the attack of the Hawaiians until they were relieved, two hours later, by the ships' boats" - DNB. "Cook's third voyage was organized to seek the Northwest Passage and to return [the islander] Omai to Tahiti. Officers of the crew included William Bligh, James Burney, James Colnett, and George Vancouver. John Webber was appointed artist to the expedition. After calling at Kerguelen Island, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Cook, Tonga, and Society Islands, the expedition sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands, which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44 minutes before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives. Charles Clarke took command and after he died six months later, the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite hostilities with the United States and France, the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture. The voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" - Hill. An excellent set of one the great Pacific voyages, inscribed by one of its ultimate commanders and the partial author of the present published account, Capt. James King. BEDDIE 1543. FORBES 62.
