NOTE: Missing from VOL. I is the list of plates which should have been on page XCVII. The following collation of plates: In the first volume page xcvii (List of Plates) is missing. It's difficult to speculate why since it appears that most if not ALL the plates are present. I also believe that there are three plates (Two of them large maps that are not numbered) but are still part of the 26 total plates in the volumes. I also believe that the frontispiece portrait of COOK is considered to be one of the 26 plates since all plates including the frontispiece are used in the collation of plates. Here is a listing of what I have found along with my opinion: (VOLUME 1) 1. Frontispiece: Captain James Cook (I believe this to be plate I) 2. Plate IV is a fold out map on page 50. It should actually be attached to page 83 along with another plate also labeled as number IV. They should be plates III & IV respectively.3. Plate III on page 61 (Should probably have been listed as Plate 2) 4. Plate IV on page 83 5. Plate V on page 87 (Should be on page 91) 6. Plate VI on page 117. 7. Plate VII on page 225. 8. Plate VIII on page 277. PLEASE CONTACT SELLER FOR REST OF COLLATION.

Maps. Condición: Very good overall. The general chart for a Dublin edition of Cook's Voyages, re-engraved & printed by the Byrne family. A very impressive and unusual map, as the Irish editions are very often found without maps. The very bright impression, on high quality laid paper, persuades us that this is an early pull from this plate, most likely the 1784 Dublin edition, Beddie 1546. All three of Cook's voyages' tracks are marked with dates. Neatly flattened, backed on acid-free tissue, some old folds strengthened. 35 x 22.8 inches, with full margins.
