PARKINSON, Sydney (1745-1771). A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty's ship, the Endeavour. London: for Stanfield Parkinson, 1773. First edition of Parkinson's journal which remains the finest personal account of Cook's first voyage, with valuable South-Sea vocabularies and the first published use of the word kangaroo (p.149). Parkinson embarked aboard HMS Endeavour as Sir Joseph Banks's botanical artist - Banks spoke highly of Parkinson's 'unbounded industry' - but died in January 1771 on the homeward leg. Upon the ship's return to England, a bitter dispute arose between Parkinson's brother Stanfield and Banks as to the ownership of Parkinson's personal papers and drawings. As a result the publication of this edition was halted by an injunction which prevented further copies from being sold until Hawkesworth's official account of the voyage had been published. This copy has an interesting provenance, being in Admiral Keppel's library. A sailor from the age of 10, Keppel served actively throughout the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), before being promoted to Vice-Admiral of the Blue in 1778, in which capacity he commanded the British fleet at the Battle of Ushant in that same year. ODNB describes him as an 'outstanding' naval officer, 'especially in combined operations'. Hill 1308; Beddie 712, Hocken, pp.12-13; Holmes 7; cf. Forbes I, 82. Quarto (305 x 249mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece, engraved map of the coast of New Zealand, and 26 further engraved plates, with two-page errata leaf (plates offset as usual, some sporadic spotting throughout). Contemporary calf (expertly rebacked to style, corners furbished). Provenance: Augustus, Viscount Keppel (1725-1786, naval officer and politician, Elden Hall armorial bookplate) – Royal Museum & Library, Salford Borough (blindstamps).

Parkinson - The Head of a Native of Tahiti, with the Face curiously tataow'd; and the wry Mouth, or manner of defying their Enemies, as practis'd by the People of that, & Neighbouring Islands. 7

This print depicts two women from the island of Otaheite tattooed and facing one another. This engraving is from Sydney Parkinson's A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas in His Majesty’s Ship the Endeavour. It was an important account of Cook's first voyage. The work was published in London for Stanfield Parkinson in 1773. Parkinson's drawings stand as one of the chief visual sources for the voyage: he produced a large number of magnificent botanical, natural history and ethnographical drawings of Tierra del Fuego, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. At the time, these drawings offered Europe its first view of life in the South Pacific. "Parkinson has engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to accompany him and Captain Cook in the Endeavour to the South Seas, as natural history draughtsman... After exploring Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, the expedition reached Batavia. On leaving for the Cape of Good Hope, Parkinson succumbed to fever and dysentery and was buried at sea. Banks spoke highly of his 'unbounded industry' in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he had anticipated. His observations, too, were valuable, and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in his journals are of great interest. Upon Banks' return to England, Stanfield Parkinson, Sydney's brother, claimed all the drawings made by his brother in his spare hours, as well as journals and collections, under a will made before Sydney Parkinson left England. Following the dispute, his writings were lent to Stanfield Parkinson, who transcribed them and prepared them for publication, but an injunction was obtained... to restrain him from publishing until after the appearance of ... Hawkesworths official account" (Hill).

SYDNEY PARKINSON (1745-1771) A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in His majesty's Ship, the Endeavour. London: for Stanfield Parkinson, 1773. Large 4° (327 x 266mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece, engraved map of the coast of New Zealand, and 26 further engraved plates, with two-page errata leaf. (Plates offset onto facing pages as usual, some sporadic, mainly light, spotting and browning to text and plates.) Later half morocco, spine lettered in gilt, red edges (extremities rubbed). Provenance: Melbourne bookseller's ticket to front pastedown. FIRST EDITION. A HANDSOME COPY WITH GENEROUS MARGINS. Parkinson embarked aboard HMS Endeavour as Sir Joseph Banks's botanical artist at a fee of 80 per annum, but died in January 1771 en route to the Cape of Good Hope on the homeward leg of this Cook's first voyage. Banks spoke highly of Parkinson's 'unbounded industry' and the young artist's journal remains the finest personal account of Cook's first voyage. As well as providing some valuable South-Sea vocabularies and the first published use of the word kangaroo (p.149), the journal gives a more intimate portrait of Cook's discoveries than Hawkesworth's official account. On HMS Endeavour's return a bitter dispute arose between Parkinson's brother Stanfield and Sir Joseph Banks as to the ownership of Parkinson's personal papers and drawings. As a result the publication of this edition, edited by Stanfield Parkinson, was halted by an injunction in the Court of Chancery which prevented further copies from being sold until the official account of the voyage edited by John Hawkesworth had been published. Banks also ensured that those of Parkinson's drawings which were used in the official account went unacknowledged.

COOK'S FIRST VOYAGE.

PARKINSON, SYDNEY. 1745-1771. A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in his Majesty's Ship, The Endeavour. London: printed for Stanfield Parkinson, sold by Messrs. Richardson & Urquhart [and others], 1773. Large 4to (335 x 265 mm). Edited by Stanfield Parkinson. xxiv, 212, [2] errata pp. Frontispiece portrait of Sydney Parkinson and 27 engraved plates (26 after drawings by the author). Period calf, rebacked, spine gilt. Occasional light offsetting of text onto the plates, binding with extremities rubbed, later endpapers. Provenance: W. Askew, Newcastle on Tyne (armorial bookplate). FINE LARGE-MARGINED COPY OF THE BEST PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF COOK'S FIRST VOYAGE OF 1768-1771. Parkinson was employed by Joseph Banks as the "botanical draughtsman," a position which he executed admirably. In addition he also executed a number of more general drawings: landscape, portraits, ethnographical studies and it is these which illustrate the present work. Sadly, Parkinson died on the homeward voyage, and the present work was edited and published by his elder bother, Stanfield. The genesis of this work was not easy: Stanfield had to battle against Banks, the Admiralty and Sir John Hawkesworth to get permission to publish the journal and Banks was reluctant to release any of Parkinson's drawings. In the preface Stanfield presents his version of events. As completed by his brother, Parkinson's journal gives a more lively and personable account of the newly discovered islands, people and languages than either Hawkesworth's account or Banks's own journal.

A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty's Ship, the Endeavour. London: for Stanfield Parkinson, 1773. xxiii, [1], 212, [2] pp. Engraved frontispiece and 27 full-page plates. 4to (335 x 260 mm). Modern full calf. Offset from some plates, several leaves and plates spotted, small stain to gutter margin at tail in final 2 signatures, otherwise excellent. First edition of the best personal account of Cook's first voyage. Sydney Parkinson was draughtsman to Joseph Banks on Cook's Endeavour voyage; he died in Batavia on the homeward journey. The present work, edited and published by Parkinson's brother, infringed on John Hawkesworth's rights regarding the official account of the voyage and Hawkesworth obtained an injunction in Chancery to stop it. Parkinson's account of the newly discovered peoples and lands is more intimate than those of either Hawkesworth or John Banks. Hill pp 223-4; Holmes 7; Sabin 58787.
