Controversy as to authorship has not been decided, but it has been alternately attributed to Sir Joseph Banks, Dr. Solander (both having written to the publishers denying any knowledge of the “‘ Journal’ or its Author), and to Richard Orton, and William Perry (Petty officers) ; also more recently attributed to T. Becket, one of the publishers. Of the few copies which have occurred for sale, we cannot trace another in a contem- porary binding with this series of plates. 894 : THREE VOYAGES round the WorLD, Best OctTavo EDITION, portrait, folding map and 24 plates, 7 vols, 8vo., contemp. calf, neatly rebacked, 1821 ($37.80) £9/9/- 896 WALLER (EDMOND) POEMs, &c., written upon Several Occasions, and to several Per- sons, FIFTH EDITION, with several additions never before printed, portrait by P.
