1774 Pacific Ocean Voyages 1 ed AUSTRALIA Tahiti New Zealand Hawkesworth MAPS John Hawkesworth was an important English book editor, most known for his commission to edit Captain James Cook’s ‘ Voyages’ . First published in 1773, Hawkesworth edition of ‘ Account of the Voyages’ included the stories of various important excursions of John Byron, Captain Wallis, Carteret, and of course James Cook.

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
