DAVID SAMWELL

A Narrative of the Death of Captain Cook. London: G.G.J and J. Robinson 1786

[4], 34p. Bound with JAMES COOK. A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean. London: 1784. Volume III.

First Edition of Samwell’s very rare pamphlet focuses on Cook's death at Kealakekua and on the subject of venereal disease. Having joined Cook's third voyage as first mate on the Resolution, Samwell succeeded John Law as surgeon of the Discovery, and it was in this capacity that he became an eye-witness to Cook's catastrophic murder.

Holmes describes it as 'the fullest, most detailed and most objective 'account of Cook's death’, while Hill considers that 'this exceedingly rare work may perhaps be considered the highlight of a Cook collection'. Hill p. 265; Holmes 61.
