Kroepelien 219. ~ The supplement was compiled and translated from an anonymous account of Bank's and Solander's voyage with Captain Cooke (sic) in the Endeavour" [Journal], issued with a new title and half-title", and was published as a supplement to the second edition of Bougainville's "Voyage autour du monde" (Paris, 1772). This, the first French edition of the anonymously-published "Journal of a Voyage round the World in His Majesty's Ship Endeavour", London, 1771, and usually attributed to James Magra, contains the Lettre de M de Commerson (pp. 251-286) and Lettre de M le B. de G. (pp. 287-362), neither of which appears in the English edition. Commander of the "Endeavour", Cook was sent by the British Admiralty to observe the passing of Venus across the sun, and had with him on board Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, naturalists; Sydney Parkinson, botanical and natural artist; and Charles Green, astonomer. The expedition remained in Hawaii and Tahiti for several months, and the French title of the work derives from the fact that it added a great deal of information to the record of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, whose circumnavigation had taken place in 1766-1769 and had covered similar ground. A very good copy of this surreptitious account. Additional points" - The first French book on the east coast of Australia. Translates the text published in English in 1771. It was the unauthorised and earliest account of the progress of the Endeavour voyage. It is one of two probably simultaneous issues, this one having the "Supplâment" title-page. The publishers intended the book to complement the octavo edition of Bougainville's voyage. - Lettre de M. le B. de G." pp287-362, is a learned treatise on the possibility of a northwest passage,
