[COOK, James, Captain (1728-1779)]. ANDERSON, George William - New, Authentic, and Complete Collection of Voyages Round the World, Undertaken and Performed by Royal Authoritiy. London: Alex Hogg, [1784-1786].

First edition of this work published in 80 weekly parts from 1784 to 1786., "An important compilation of English Voyages.. Anderson sometimes gives the original accounts, others are edited or abridged versions, and frequently additional materials, from other sources, are added to give scope and depth to the narrative" (Hill). It was "printed in a very large edition over a number of years". The added list of subscribers has numerous variations, and the title pages appear with several distinct forms" (Forbes).

Folio (379 x 243mm). Engraved portrait of the author, engraved frontispiece, large folding map, 154 fascinating plates; most copies have 155 plates but this count probably also includes the engraved frontispiece (map restored in the margins and a little in the center, title trimmed in the lower margin, plates sometimes slightly, few plates and leaves with minimal marginal restorations, first and final leaves creased). Modern half green leather, gilt title on spine (some wear to spine).
