Folding map frontis, [2] title & dedication, [1], (ii-viii); Stork - Description of East Florida, [1], 2-40, 1 folding map; Bartrams Journal, [1], (xii), 35 pp, [1] errata & binders list,1 folding map; Magra's Voyage, [1] title, [2] dedication, [1], 2-130 pp, [3] Vocabulary of the Language of the Otahitee. The 3 folding maps, engraved by T. Jefferys, are: 1.East Florida. 2.St. Augustine the Capital of East Florida. 3.The Bay of Espiritu Santo, in East Florida. (Signatures: East-Florida - 2ff, b-b4, B-G1. *G-*G2, 2ff, H-M4. Voyage round the World - 2ff, B-S1, 2ff Vocab). Public appetite for a detailed narrative encouraged a publishing race, of which this work, published less than three months after the expedition's return to England and almost two years prior to Hawkesworth's authorised version, was the winner. This first issue containing the dedication leaf was swiftly withdrawn following the publicly advertised consternation of the dedicatees, the Admiralty, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. Published anonymously, the work is generally attributed to James Magra, an American mid-shipman aboard. (Hill II:1066(without dedication leaf); Hocken p9; Holmes 3; O'Rielly-Reitman 362; Sabin 4246 & 16242; DuRietz-catalogue of the Kroepelien Collection p215; Frost Life of James Mario Matra: Voyager with Cook 1995; Beddie 693/4; STC T29207). The work is a short, but interesting narrative of Cook's first voyage, which relates his visits to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, Batavia, and Rio de Janeiro. The author is noteworthy because he is one of the few to criticize Cook in any meaningful way. Despite problems with the accuracy of the text, this work will always hold the place of being the first account of that voyage and the first account in print of the Australian coast. (in translation, it also gave the French their first account of that voyage). JEFFERYS Thomas (illustrator).

Three folding engraved maps of St. Augustine, East Florida (with a closed tear extending across the middle of the map), and Espirito Santo Bay (early repair to verso). Modern green morocco backed green cloth. "among the most important…sources for the history of East Florida" (Streeter). Third edition of Stork's account, second edition of celebrated botanist John Bartram's "Journal.": "Bartram's scientific and commercial endeavors flourished in the 1750s and 1760s, his botanical supply business providing the income and incentive to enable him to travel ever wider in search of new specimens. In 1765, the aging Bartram set sail from Philadelphia to join his son, William, in Charleston to begin a botanical and scientific survey of the South. From Charleston, they traveled overland to Saint Augustine and Fort Picolata on the Saint John's River, and from there, by canoe and foot throughout the extensive drainage basin. Like many natural histories, Stork's tract is part promotional, part natural historical. A knowledge of flora and fauna was essential for successful -- and profitable -- settlement, and writers and land owners stood to profit personally from an increase in interest. Adding to a promising description of Saint Augustine, and chapters on the climate, soil, and animal and plant life, Stork included bullish tracts on the potential in Florida for the cultivation of rice, cotton, silk, sugar, indigo, and other profitable crops. On the same latitude as the productive English colonies in Bengal and China, the warm climate of Florida made silk culture particularly likely, whereas in "Carolina and Georgia the worms are often injured by accidental frosts" (American Philosophical Library online).
