Description
1788 1 st ed ARCTIC Voyages Johann Forster History of James Cook ATLAS Maps 2v Johann Reinhold Forster was an 18 th -century Scottish naturalist who played an important role on James Cook’s famous second Pacific voyage. Cook’s second voyage was set to circumnavigate the world by means of going as far south as possible. This voyage, which is significantly less reported on than his third and final voyage, took Forster and crew to locations such as Easter Island, Tahiti, and the Arctic Circle. Perhaps the most important discovery from this voyage was proving that no continent existed between New Zealand and South America – a common theory amongst centuries of European navigators and historians. Forster’s ‘History of Discoveries Made in the North’ is one of the best accounts of voyages in the Arctic regions. He not only discusses his own experiences but covers expeditions made by Portuguese, English, French, and even Russian voyages into the Northwest Passage. He covers notable explorers such as Cabot, Verazzano, Hudson, Cartier, and of course, James Cook. This 1788 first edition includes 3 impressive folding maps!

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
