‎ London, Printed for Captain WIlson and sold by G. Nicol, third edition, 1789, in-4°, frontispiece portrait + xxvii pp + 378 pages + 15 engraved plates including the folding engraved view of the Pelew Islands and a folding engraved map (complete). Bound in 20th-century full mottled calf, raised gilt spine with red leatehr title label, edges painted yellow, fine gilt fillet on both covers, marbled endpapers, in paper slipcase. Exceptionally fine binding, perfectly preserved. In August 1783 the Antelope, commanded by Wilson, ran aground near one of the Pelew Islands and was wrecked. These hitherto unexplored islands were investigated by Wilson and his crew. The islanders treated them well and by means of a vessel built from the wreck, they left the island for Macao. The publication met with a great success so that this third edition appeared already one year after the first edition.‎
