Geographers of the
seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries recognized two great divisions of their
discipline. These were ‘General’ or
‘Universal’ geography, which dealt with
‘the whole Earth in general, and explain[ed] its properties
without regard to particular countries’
Thomas
Bankes,
Edward Warren Blake, and Alexander Cook's A New Royal Authentic and
Complete System of Universal Geography (hereafter Thomas Bankes's). A
massive folio volume of 990 double-columned pages, this was a popular
work, running to six editions in the years from 1775 to 1797
Thomas
Bankes: 18th century collector of
maps and engravings
and
vicar of Dixton, Monmouthshire, whose New and Authentic System of
Universal Geography (London, C. Cooke, ca. 1788-90) compiled views
from various countries, including some detailing the voyages of
Captain James Cook.

The
third voyage of Captain James Cook
(1728-1779) was organized to discover the Northwest Passage and
explored the waters of the Pacific Ocean north of the Equator. The
official artist of Cook's Third Voyage was John Webber (1752-1793)
who diligently recorded the sights of the journey as they were
experienced. Original engravings done after Webber's drawings and
paintings document the people and places of the Pacific voyage.
These engravings were published in 1784-85 in the large four volume
atlas Voyage to the Pacific Ocean...for Making Discoveries in the
Northern Hemisphere...to Determine the Position and Extent of the
West Side of North America.... The atlas was published by G. Nichol
and Thomas Cadell in London.. £20

The
third voyage of Captain James Cook
(1728-1779) was organized to discover the Northwest Passage and
explored the waters of the Pacific Ocean north of the Equator. The
official artist of Cook's Third Voyage was John Webber (1752-1793)
who diligently recorded the sights of the journey as they were
experienced. Original engravings done after Webber's drawings and
paintings document the people and places of the Pacific voyage.
These engravings were published in 1784-85 in the large four volume
atlas Voyage to the Pacific Ocean...for Making Discoveries in the
Northern Hemisphere...to Determine the Position and Extent of the
West Side of North America.... The atlas was published by G. Nichol
and Thomas Cadell in London.. £25 larger plate copy
