Excerpt from A Voyage Round the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Australia But can I hope that these hasty lines, which were sometimes written on the unsteady table of a ship beaten about by the sea, sometimes on my knees after a day's sport, and sometimes in the hut of a savage, can give to those who read them even a faint impression of the great enjoyment, the lively emotions, and the delightful recollections of my travels? I have left these reminiscences just as I first put them down, whether on the Equator or near the South Pole, though sometimes they may be confused and abrupt, after the manner of a journal; and I have only cut out what was personal and would merely interest my own family. I wish simply and modestly, but with all the ardour of youth, to relate what struck me most in the glorious sights, curious facts, adventures, and dangers of long sea voyages and distant countries. No doubt, although the account of the first three months' journey has been abridged, it may seem mono tonous, but if so, I hope to be pardoned, and I shall beg for forgiveness if I become too wildly enthusiastic in my descriptions of the exciting sport on the exten sive plains of Australia, or the burning jungles of Java. Then, too, my opinions on the political constitution of the Australian Colonies may be objected to, as well as the intense amusement expressed at the harems of the Javanese Sultans, the King of Siam's Amazons, or the breakfast at Pekin with the Regent of China. For all this I shall hope for pardon. There is no merit due to me for having in so short a journey been able to do and see so much; these long and distant wanderings were not undertaken on my own account, but under exceptional circumstances. I was honoured by being the companion of a prince, who from my earliest childhood had called me his friend; and who now wished to make a voyage round the world, having already seen six years of service and gained his promotion, first as naval cadet, then as lieutenant in the United States navy, where he made great progress by earnest and deep study.

Excerpt from A New Voyage Round the World in the Years 1823, 24, 25, and 26, Vol. 1 of 2 The flattering requisitions of those readers who found amusement in the narrative of my former voyage, independently of its scientific details, form an incentive to my present publication. All mere nautical minutiae, which might be deemed tedious, with the exception of such as were indispensable, have been omitted. Various contingencies have delayed the appearance of these Volumes; but I still hope they will not have altogether lost the charm of novelty. With respect to my style, I rely upon the favour formerly shewn me. Devoted from my earliest youth to the sea-service, I have had no leisure for cultivating the art of authorship.

Excerpt from Narrative of a Voyage Round the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Performed in Her Majesty's Ship Sulphur, During the Years 1836-1842; Including Details of the Naval Operations in China, From Dec; 1840, to Nov; 1841; Published Under the Authority of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty Captain Beechey invalided at Valparaiso, and was succeeded by Acting Commander Kellett, who was again superseded by the author of the present narrative, who took the command at Panama, in February, 1837, having crossed the Isthmus of Darien for that purpose, and retained it till the conclusion of her protracted voyage. After some little delay in completing certain necessary operations, the two vessels proceeded northerly, touching at Realejo and Libertad in Central America, and reached San Blas in June, 1837, whence she sailed for the Sandwich Islands, which she reached the following month. Port Etches, in King William's Sound, in 60 30' N. was the next destination of the Expedition. Point Riou and Port Mulgrave were chosen as base stations for determining the position of Mount St. Elias, and further settling the question of longitude between Cook and Vancouver. The Sulphur then proceeded to Sitka or New Archangel, in Norfolk Sound, where the officers received very courteous treatment from Captain Koupreanoff, the Russian governor. She next visited Friendly Cove, in Nootka Sound, and thence sailed to San Francisco, when the examination of the river Sacramento, one hundred and fifty-six miles from her anchorage, occupied the party in open boats for thirty-one days.

George Forster's A Voyage Round the World presents a wealth of geographic, scientific, and ethnographic knowledge uncovered by Cook's second journey of exploration in the Pacific (1772-1775). Accompanying his father, the ship's naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster, on the voyage, George proved a knowledgeable and adept observer. The lively, elegant prose and critical detail of his account, based loosely on his father's journal, make it one of the finest works of eighteenth-century travel literature and an account of prime importance in the history of European contact with Pacific peoples. The Forsters' publications reveal the sophistication and enthusiasm they brought to their observation of Polynesian peoples as well as a sensitivity to the moral ambiguities of contact. The two volumes of George Forster's work include substantially richer descriptions of encounters with island inhabitants than either his father's classic work (Observations Made during a Voyage round the World, UH Press, 1996) or Cook's official narrative, and its confident, even visionary, style incorporates a good deal of polemic, particularly in its criticism of the treatment of islanders by Cook's crew. In addition to the range and depth of its anthropological considerations, it provides a thrilling account of life aboard one of Cook's vessels. In its author's German translation, this work becomes a classic of natural history writing, but its original English version has long been neglected by anglophone scholars. This new scholarly edition makes this important book readily available for the first time since its initial publication more than two centuries ago. But it also presents the work in fresh terms, making it more accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. The valuable introduction and annotations draw on the wide range of anthropological and ethnohistorical scholarship published since the 1960s and contextualize the book in relation to both the cultures of Oceania documented by the Forsters and the history of European voyaging in the Pacific. Appendixes include a translation of the introduction to the German edition and the polemical pamphlets by George Forster and the ship's astronomer William Wales, in which some of the book's more controversial claims were debated. A Voyage Round the World brings the disciplines of history and anthropology to bear on Cook's voyages in an illuminating and readable fashion. This edition will help complete the corpus of basic documents on Cook's voyages--a crucial resource for researchers in cultural, Pacific, and maritime history; archaeologists, anthropologists, and art historians; and most recently for scholars engaged in revisionist interpretations of eighteenth-century exploration and colonization.
