An Introduction to the BIBLIOGRAPHY of CAPTAIN JAMES COOK, R.N., BY Maurice Hommes, C.B. Demy 8vo., cl., 59 pages 10s 6d “The book begins with a short chronological list of events from Cook’s birth in 1728 to his death in 1779. Then follow brief biographical notes on some of the more notable members of his ships’ companies. This seems to me an admirable feature . . . next follow full collations and descriptions of twenty- one books of primary importance, which, with a list of the principal relevant papers in the Transactions of the Royal Society, form the first section of the bibliography. The second and third sections contain shorter descriptions of seventy-eight other books, ranging in date from 1767 to the present time. To anyone interested in the life and work of James Cook, Mr. Holmes’s book should be of great assistance.” —IoLo WILLIAMS in the London Mercury of May, 1936.
