[[File:An Account of the Voyages.jpg|thumb|upright|''An Account of the Voyages'' first page, 1773]]
'''''An Account of the Voyages Undertaken by the Order of his Present Majesty for Making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere, and successively performed by Commodore Byron, Captain Wallis, Captain Carteret, and Captain Cook, in the Dolphin, the Swallow, and the Endeavour: drawn up from the journals which were kept by the several commanders, and from the papers of Joseph Banks, Esq.''''' is a 1773 book by [[John Hawkesworth (book editor)|John Hawkesworth]] about several Royal Navy voyages to the Pacific: the 1764–1766 and 1766–1768 voyages of {{HMS|Dolphin|1751|6}} under [[John Byron]] and [[Samuel Wallis]], the voyage of {{HMS|Swallow|1745|6}} under [[Philip Carteret]] (1766–1769), as well as the 1768–1771 [[first voyage of James Cook]] on {{HMS|Endeavour}}. Hawkesworth received an advance of £6,000 for editing the three volumes.

== Background ==
[[File:Captain Wallis, on his arrival at O'Taheite, in conversation with Oberea the Queen.jpg|thumb|''Captain Wallis, on his arrival at O'Taheite, in conversation with Oberea the Queen'', engraving by [[John Hall (artist)|John Hall]] depicting the 1767 encounter of [[Samuel Wallis]] and Queen [[Purea]]]]
In the middle of the 18th century, the knowledge of the Pacific by Europeans was still very limited, with the positions of many islands unknown and only some of the coasts of larger landmasses charted.{{sfn|Williams|2020|p=1083}} After the end of the [[Seven Years' War]], the British Admiralty under [[John Perceval, 2nd Earl of Egmont]] started to send expeditions to make discoveries in the South Seas, hoping to expand British overseas power and to add new possessions.{{sfn|Edwards|2004|p=80}} The first of these voyages was [[John Byron]]'s 1764–1766 circumnavigation on {{HMS|Dolphin|1751|6}}, which made few important discoveries.{{sfn|Williams|2020|p=1083}} It was followed in 1766 by the voyages of [[Samuel Wallis]] on the ''Dolphin'' and [[Philip Carteret]] on {{HMS|Swallow|1745|6}}, who were supposed to search the South Pacific for a [[Terra Australis|southern continent]].{{sfn|Williams|2020|p=1083}} The ships were separated; Wallis became the first European to reach [[Tahiti]] in 1767 and returned to Britain in May 1768, while Carteret discovered several islands including [[Pitcairn]] and returned to Britain in March 1769.{{sfn|Edwards|2004|p=81}} 

With the dual aims of observing the [[1769 transit of Venus observed from Tahiti|1769 transit of Venus]] from Tahiti and searching for a southern continent, the [[first voyage of James Cook]] set out in August 1768.{{sfn|Edwards|2004|p=81}} On board was also the botanist [[Joseph Banks]] with an entourage including naturalist [[Daniel Solander]] and the artists [[Alexander Buchan (artist)|Alexander Buchan]] and [[Sydney Parkinson]].{{sfn|Beaglehole|1962|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea01Bank-t1-front-d13.html#n57 24]}} After sailing to Tahiti and observing the transit of Venus, Cook circumnavigated New Zealand and surveyed its coast, explored the east coast of Australia and passed through [[Torres Strait]] between Australia and New Guinea.{{sfn|Williams|2020|p=1085}} On the return journey, the ship was repaired at [[Jakarta|Batavia]] (now Jakarta), and several crew members including Parkinson died from [[dysentery]].{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|pp=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d16.html#n297 264–265]}} The ship returned to Britain in July 1771.{{sfn|Edwards|2004|p=83}}

[[Image:JohnHawkesworth.png|thumb|right|upright=0.7|John Hawkesworth]]
[[John Hawkesworth (book editor)|John Hawkesworth]] was a writer who contributed to ''[[The Gentleman's Magazine]]'' from 1741 to 1773, worked on ''[[The Adventurer (newspaper)|The Adventurer]]'' together with [[Samuel Johnson]] and edited [[Jonathan Swift]]'s complete works. He was awarded a [[LL. D.]] degree by the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]] in 1756.{{sfn|Abbott|1970|p=34}} In 1771, the Admiralty was looking for an editor for the journals of the recent circumnavigations, and the journal of [[Frances Burney]] recounts that her father [[Charles Burney]] recommended Hawkesworth to [[John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich]], the [[First Lord of the Admiralty]].{{sfn|Beaglehole|1968|p=ccxliii}} The actor [[David Garrick]] also supported the choice of Hawkesworth, possibly as a second opinion.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|p=164}}

== Writing and publication ==
{{Solander, Banks, Cook, Hawkesworth and Earl Sandwich by John Hamilton Mortimer|align=right}}
Hawkesworth had access to about 57 journals and logs of the voyages, but probably used only a few of them.{{sfn|Pearson|1972|p=46}} Sandwich also helped him access the journal of Joseph Banks,{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d17.html#n323 290]}} and Hawkesworth was pleased to be able to use the writings of an educated gentleman in addition to Cook's journal, which contained more nautical details.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1968|pp=ccxlvii–ccxlviii}}

Hawkesworth was allowed to make his own publishing contract, and received the sum of £6,000 ({{inflation|UK|6000|1771|fmt=eq|r=-4|cursign=£}}) from [[William Strahan (publisher)|William Strahan]] for editing the three volumes of the ''Account'',{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d17.html#n323 290]}} in "one of the most lucrative literary contracts of the eighteenth century."{{sfn|Wallis|1978|p=165}} The success made Hawkesworth overly confident, and he boldly declared "I would do my best to make it another Anson's Voyage",{{sfn|Wallis|1965|p=465}}{{sfn|D'Arblay|1832|p=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_NKdBAAAAcAAJ/page/n287 269]}} referring to the account of [[George Anson's voyage around the world]].{{sfn|Williams|2001|p=[https://archive.org/details/prizeofalloceans0000will_o5i8/page/236 237]}} 
After compiling his draft, Hawkesworth submitted it to Lord Sandwich, and it was read by other Navy personnel, who made some suggestions for correction; however, these were not incorporated. Nevertheless, the book stated that the commanders as well as Banks and Solander had read the manuscript.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|pp=168–170}} As Cook was due to depart on his [[Second voyage of James Cook|second voyage]] in 1772, the two volumes regarding Cook's ''Endeavour'' journey were prepared first.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|pp=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d17.html#n323 290–291]}}

Hawkesworth obtained a legal injunction against the competing publication of Parkinson's posthumous ''[[A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas|Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas]]'', so it was delayed until after the ''Account'' appeared on 10 June 1773.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d23.html#n502 459]}}

== Content ==
[[File:A view in the island of Ulietea with a double canoe and a boathouse, engraved by E. Rooker, after drawings by Sydney Parkinson, c. 1773.jpg|thumb|A view in the island of Ulietea with a double canoe and a boathouse, engraved by [[Edward Rooker]], after drawings by [[Sydney Parkinson]], c. 1773]]
The first volume is split into three parts, each concerned with one circumnavigation. It starts with [[John Byron]]'s account of the 1764–1766 voyage of {{HMS|Dolphin|1751|6}}. This is followed by [[Samuel Wallis]]' journal of the 1766–1768 voyage of the same ship that included the first European encounter with [[Tahiti]]. The volume ends with [[Philip Carteret]]'s 1766–1769 circumnavigation on {{HMS|Swallow|1745|6}}, where some islands including [[Pitcairn Island]] were found.

The second and third volume concern the [[first voyage of James Cook]], with a large amount of content on Tahiti, where {{HMS|Endeavour}} spent a considerable amount of time to observe the transit of Venus. This is followed by the description of the navigation near New Zealand and the east coast of Australia.

== Illustrations ==
During Wallis' ''Dolphin'' expedition, there were no dedicated artists on board. To illustrate the first encounter with the people of Tahiti, the anonymous artist of the illustration ''Captain Wallis, on his arrival at O'Taheite, in conversation with Oberea the Queen'' fell back on interpreting Hawkesworth's text and on using oriental imagery from other places. They may have been inspired by engravings in [[François Valentijn]]'s 1724–1726 {{lang|nl|Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën}} (Old and New East India).{{sfn|Smith|1992|pp=[https://archive.org/details/imaginingpacific0000smit/page/173/mode/1up 173–174]}} 
[[File:A View of the Indians of Tierra del Fuego in their hut.jpg|thumb|right|''A View of the Indians of Tierra del Fuego in their hut'', engraving by [[Francesco Bartolozzi]] after a drawing by [[Giovanni Battista Cipriani]]]]
For the ''Endeavour'' voyage with James Cook, Joseph Banks brought a party of eight people,{{sfn|Beaglehole|1962|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea01Bank-t1-front-d13.html#n57 24]}} that included the two artists [[Sydney Parkinson]] for botanical drawings and [[Alexander Buchan (artist)|Alexander Buchan]] as landscape and figure artist.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1962|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea01Bank-t1-front-d13.html#n61 28]}} Work by both artists was later engraved for publication in the ''Account'', but with some changes. Buchan's sketches were made to conform with Hawkesworth's interpretations. [[Giovanni Battista Cipriani]] added additional figures to Buchan's ''Inhabitants of the island of Tierra del Fuego, in their hut'' before the images were engraved by [[Francesco Bartolozzi]].{{sfn|Smith|1985|p=[https://archive.org/details/europeanvisionso0000smit_h7x1/page/40 40]}}
[[File:A View of Matavia Bay in Otaheite ... from One Tree Hill.jpg|thumb|''A View of Matavia Bay in Otaheite ... from One Tree Hill'', engraving after [[John James Barralet]] based on a drawing by [[Sydney Parkinson]]. [[Point Venus]] can be seen across [[Matavai Bay]], where {{HMS|Endeavour}} lies anchored.]]
Some of the engravings in the ''Account'' were based on Parkinson's drawings, but this was not acknowledged;{{sfn|Joppien|Smith|1985|p=28}} Joseph Banks himself had written to Hawkesworth advising against it.{{sfn|Joppien|Smith|1985|p=54}} Some alterations were made; for example, Parkinson's original of ''Tree on One Tree Hill'' contains a seated figure of a person drawing as well as two Europeans; in the drawing by [[John James Barralet]] that was engraved for the ''Account'', the seated figure has been erased and the Europeans have been replaced by Tahitians. It is possible that the seated figure depicts Parkinson himself and that he was removed at Banks' request.{{sfn|Joppien|Smith|1985|pp=26–28,100–101}}

== Reception ==
The first edition of the ''Account'' sold quickly, and a second edition came out in August of 1773.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d23.html#n502 459]}} Further editions followed, including an American edition in 1773 and French and German translations in 1774.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|p=165}} The book was generally very popular with the public. For example, it was the most borrowed book in the Bristol library between 1773 and 1784.{{sfn|Leask|2002|p=12}}

However, the book was immediately criticised quite vehemently,{{sfn|Binney|2016|p=530}} and the amount of abuse heaped on Hawkesworth was considered to have contributed to his death in November 1773.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|p=165}} Critics came from different directions; apart from criticism from seamen and the commanders whose journals had been used, flaws were found with Hawkesworth's morals, theology, geography, and with the excessive payment he had received.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|pp=165–167}} There was outrage about the descriptions of Tahitian sexuality that Hawkesworth did not censor.{{sfn|Abbott|1982|pp=167–171}} Writing about the ''Endeavour''{{'s}} shipwreck at [[Endeavour Reef]], Hawkesworth had not accepted [[Divine providence|Providence]], or divine intervention, as means by which Cook and his crew had escaped disaster.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1968|p=ccl}} His [[deism]]-influenced views were unorthodox and offended religious sensibilities.{{sfn|Abbott|1982|pp=164–165}} The geographer [[Alexander Dalrymple]], a strong believer in theory of a southern continent, published a pamphlet attacking Hawkesworth and Cook, in which he complained about differences between the narrative and the charts and defended his belief in {{lang|la|Terra australis}}.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1968|pp=ccli–cclii}}{{sfn|Abbott|1982|pp=157–158}}

[[James Cook]] first read Hawkesworth's ''Account'' at the [[Cape of Good Hope]] in 1775, on the return leg of his [[second voyage of James Cook|second voyage]], and was shocked to read Banks's words appearing as his as well as the statement that he had read and approved the manuscript.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d22.html#n481 439]}} When they stopped at [[St Helena]], wheelbarrows were conspicuously placed around Cook's lodgings.{{sfn|Beaglehole|1974|p=[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bea04Cook-t1-body-d22.html#n483 440]}} [[Georg Forster]], who accompanied Cook, wrote about the scene in his book ''[[A Voyage Round the World]]'': "Dr. Hawkesworth's account of captain Cook's first voyage round the world, in the Endeavour, had reached this island some time before; it had been eagerly perused, and several articles, relative to this settlement, were now taken notice of with great good humour and pleasant raillery. The total want of wheelbarrows, and the ill-treatment of the slaves, which are spoken of in that account, were reckoned particularly injurious, and captain Cook was called upon to defend himself. Mrs. Skottowe, the sprightliest lady on the island, displayed to advantage her witty and satirical talents, from which there was no other escape left, than to lay the blame on the absent philosophers whose papers had been consulted."{{sfn|Forster|1777|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=BVdeAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA560 560]}}

In 2004, the literary scholar [[Philip Edwards (academic)|Philip Edwards]], described the ''Account'' as a "laundering of the actual record of the remorseless advance into the Pacific" and criticised the way that different witnesses of the event were merged into a single voice, losing their individuality.{{sfn|Edwards|2004|pp=91–92}}

== Legacy ==
For more than a century, Hawkesworth's ''Account'' was the most authoritative source for the voyages it covered.{{sfn|Wallis|1978|p=163}} For Wallis's journey, an additional text appeared in 1948, the journal of the ''Dolphin''{{'}}s master, George Robertson.{{sfn|Carrington|1948}} Cook's journals were published in their original text in an edition by [[William Wharton (Royal Navy officer)|William Wharton]] in 1893;{{sfn|Ritchie|1978|p=94}} the next authoritative publication was [[John Beaglehole]]'s 1955 edition of Cook's journals,{{sfn|Wallis|1978|pp=163–164}} where Beaglehole himself stated "for a hundred and twenty years, so far as the first voyage was concerned, Hawkesworth was Cook."{{sfn|Beaglehole|1968|p=ccliii}}

Another lasting legacy of Hawkesworth's ''Account'' was that his merging of the commanders into a single first-person narrator created the heroic British explorer as a literary character that would stay popular for more than 200 years.{{sfn|Pearson|1972|p=253}}{{sfn|Spate|1988|p=19}}
