Pub Note:
The North-American Pilot for Newfoundland, Labradore, the Gulf and River St. Laurence, published by Robert Sayer and John Bennett in London, 1775. Atlas comprised of nautical charts created from surveys by James Cook, Michael Lane, Joseph Gilbert, and other officers in the King's Service. Bound in marbled boards, somewhat abraded. With gilt spine title. Collation: [4] pages, XXII plates. Volume contains 28 charts on 22 plates, some double and other fold-out. Charts show cities, fortifications, topography, vegetation, bodies of water, drainage, bays, ports, anchorage, shoals, rocks, shipwrecks and depths, given in fathoms. Charts include descriptive notes. Copper-plate engravings. See our 14471.000 for the 1784 second edition of this work. "Extremely rare. Published in the year of Cook's return to England from his second voyage, this is the first issue of the complete edition of the survey of Newfoundland and Labrador, which he carried out in the 1760s. These incredibly detailed and accurate charts, along with his skills as a navigator, were largely responsible for Cook being given command of the Endeavour, which took him on his first circumnavigation. Samuel Holland, the first Surveyor General of British North America, [provides] insight into Cook's surveying work in North America: ... whenever I could get a moment of time from my duty, I was on board the Pembroke where the great cabin, dedicated to scientific purposes and mostly taken up with a drawing table, furnished no room for idlers. Under Capt. Simcoe's eye, Mr. Cook and myself compiled materials for a Chart of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence, which plan at his decease was dedicated to Sir Charles Saunders; with no other alterations than what Mr. Cook and I made coming up the River. Another chart of the River, including Chaleur and Gaspe Bays, mostly taken from plans in Admiral Durell's possession, was compiled and drawn ... and sent ... for immediate publication to Mr. Thos. Jeffrey, predecessor to Mr. Faden (Beaglehole, The life of Captain James Cook, p. 36). The leading cartographic engraver of his day, Jeffreys held the titles of "Geographer to the King" and "Engraver, Geographer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales". He went bankrupt in 1765, six years before his death, at which time Robert Sayer acquired a large part of his interests. In partnership with Bennett, he published much of Jeffreys' remaining work posthumously, including The North-American Pilot, first issued at the start of the American Revolutionary War." - Shapero Rare Books, London.
