Abstract
James Cook's voyage in Endeavour was the first great exploratory expedition having scientific discovery—observation of the transit of Venus, study of the plant and animal life of Oceania, and cartographic survey of the Pacific—as a major objective. During most of the three-year voyage all aboard were totally isolated from the outside world and thus greatly dependent on such reference books as they brought with them. Since this journal was first published in 1942 we have taken particular interest in Cook and his voyages. We are glad to continue this tradition with the publication of this authoritative scholarly review of the books available on Endeavour to Cook and his scientific colleagues.
