Summary |
The unofficial account of Cook's first voyage. The variant with the Gomeldon addition (4 p.) which prints a letter from Sydney Parkinson written from Batavia to his cousin Jane Gomeldon, together with her letter in reply, and her poem addressed to him. The purpose of these pages appears to be to justify Stanfield Parkinson in his dispute with Joseph Banks "over the return of various shells and drawings which seem to have been promised by Sydney Parkinson to some friends and particularly to his cousin, Mrs Gomeldon" -- Hill |
