Catalogue Note
The first work was published in the same year as the official account by Captain Phipps (see lot 1024) and is by an unidentified member of the expedition, containing particulars not given in the official account.
The second work in this volume is the second edition of John Byron's circumnavigation, which "is usually ascribed to midshipman Charles Clerke, who later sailed on all three of Captain Cook's voyages, serving as commander of the third voyage for the final six months" (Hill).
