First Swedish translation of the official account of Cook's second voyage and Georg Forster's unofficial Voyage round the World.""Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by the foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations of the nineteenth century"" (Printing and the Mind of Man p.135). ""The success of Cook's first voyage led the Admiralty to send him on a second expedition, described in the present work, which was to circumnavigate the globe as far south as possible in search of any southern continents. The men of this expedition became the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. Further visits were made to New Zealand, and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island, the Marquesas, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Niue, the Tonga Islands, the New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, […] Cook discovered and charted South Georgia, after which he called at Cape Town, St. Helena and Ascension, and the Azores. This voyage produced a vast amount of information concerning the Pacific peoples and islands, proved the value of the chronometer as an aid to finding longitude, and improved techniques for preventing scurvy"" (Hill p.123)

Edition originale de la traduction française du deuxième voyage du capitaine James Cook dont la mission était de découvrir le continent austral, alors parfois nommé Terra australis. L'expédition, embarquée à bord de l'Adventure et la Résolution, quitta l'Angleterre en juillet 1772, atteignit et franchit pour la première fois de l'Histoire le cercle polaire antarctique le 17 janvier 1773, gagna la Nouvelle-Zélande en cours d'année, puis visita différentes îles de l'Océanie, en particulier Tahiti, la Nouvelle-Calédonie, l'archipel des îles Tonga et les Nouvelles-Hébrides (le Vanuatu actuel). Elle ramènera notamment avec elle le jeune Tahitien Omaï, premier Océanien à visiter Londres. Un important vocabulaire de la langue des îles de la Société occupe les pages 259-302 du tome IV. Le tome V renferme les observations faites sur la géographie, l'histoire naturelle et la philosophie morale par le naturaliste Johann Reinhold Forster durant le voyage. Sans l'atlas de cartes et planches.
