Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. London, Becket & De Hondt, 1771 [first issue, with the dedication leaf to Banks and Solander (quickly suppressed), and N1 in the uncancelled state]. Quarto, [ii] (title page, verso blank), ii (dedication leaf), 130, [3] ('Vocabulary of the Language of Otahitee') pages. Later half brown morocco, marbled sides and endpapers, edges dyed yellow; leather lightly rubbed; slight surface loss to the sides; title page slightly marked and a little dusty, with the inkstamp of the 'Northern Protector of Aboriginals' in the top corner; early notes in ink on a contemporary binder's blank; later marginal notes in pencil on about a dozen pages (but see below); an excellent copy. The first published account of Cook's first voyage to the Pacific, which appeared some two years before the official account. Provenance: This copy carries the stamp of the Northern Protector of Aboriginals, and appears to have been in the collection of the notable ethnographer Walter Edmund Roth (1861-1933), who occupied that office between 1898 and 1906. The pertinent pencil annotations are most likely in his hand. The later bookplates of John Glasgow (designed by Paul Nash, 1908), and Donald H. Graham Jr. are mounted on the front endpaper. Wantrup 5.01; Beddie 693.

First edition, published two months after the return of the Endeavour and preceding Hawkesworth by two years. This copy has the leaf addressing the Lords of the Admiralty, Joseph Banks, and Daniel Solander. Written by Cook's mutinous midshipman, "this was the first in a series of so-called 'surreptitious accounts' of Cook's various voyages to appear in print: the Admiralty found it practically impossible to enforce their ruling that no unofficial publications should pre-empt the official and lengthier accounts of the voyages, naturally much slower in the press" (Parks). This account was formally attributed to a host of figures including Banks, Hawkesworth, and even Cook himself. Arnold Wood, in his Discovery of Australia (1922), was the first to suggest that the author was the American midshipman James Magra (later Matra) - subsequently a leading proponent of establishing a convict colony at Botany Bay - and this attribution, supported by the editor of Cook's journals, James Beaglehole, is now widely accepted. Magra neglects to mention his unsavoury conduct on the voyage. "In May 1770. suspecting that [Magra] was implicated in the drunken cropping of his clerk's ears, Cook suspended the midshipman from duty, noting that he was 'one of those gentlemen, frequently found on board Kings Ships, that can very well be spared, or to speake more planer good for nothing'" (ADB). Magra was also likely the ringleader of an attempted mutiny at Tahiti, which only failed because of a wave of venereal disease. Copies were sold with or without the leaf addressing the Admiralty, "which has been misdescribed as a dedication. It is nothing of the kind, but rather a provocative and brazen attempt to rebut an official notice which called into question the authenticity of the work and which is breathtaking in its temerity and even insolence. Because a relatively small number of copies of the book have survived with this additional leaf, it is clear that the Admiralty responded by demanding the removal of this offending leaf" (McCourt, p. 145). The presence of the leaf is not conclusively indicative of first issue. This copy also has McCourt's uncancelled state of leaf N1.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book concerns non-linguistic knowledge required to perform computational natural language understanding (NLU). The main objective of the book is to show that inference-based NLU has the potential for practical large scale applications.First, an introduction to research areas relevant for NLU is given. We review approaches to linguistic meaning, explore knowledge resources, describe semantic parsers, and compare two main forms of inference: deduction and abduction.In the main part of the book, we propose an integrative knowledge base combining lexical-semantic, ontological, and distributional knowledge. A particular attention is payed to ensuring its consistency. We then design a reasoning procedure able to make use of the large scale knowledge base. We experiment both with a deduction-based NLU system and with an abductive reasoner. For evaluation, we use three different NLU tasks: recognizing textual entailment, semantic role labeling, and interpretation of noun dependencies. 260 pp. Englisch.
