in
England, the weather was
so
bad that we had no
opportunity
of making any
observation
of the variation.
N.B. The ill sailing of the Swallow prevented
me from getting a sufficient
number
of soundings to make a separate Table.
CHAPTER IV.
AN ACCOUNT OF A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD, IN THE YEARS 1768, 1769, 1770, AND 1771, BY LIEUTENANT JAMES COOK, COMMANDER OF HIS MAJESTY’S BARK THE ENDEAVOUR.
[In addition to Cook’s papers, Dr Hawkesworth had the use of a journal kept by Sir Joseph Banks, in drawing up the account of this voyage; a favour which he has not neglected to specify in his introduction. That introduction, however, and several references to plates, with some other matters deemed of little or no import, or elsewhere given, are now omitted.]
