JOURNAL of one of the crew of H.M.S. Resolution, and afterwards (see f. 153b) of H.M.S. Discovery, on the third and last voyage of Captain James Cook; 1776-1780. A note on f. 1 describes the writer as "George Gilbert, 1st Lieut. . . . on board the Discovery" and states that he "was made Captain after Cook was killed . . and died of smallpox on his return to England, aged 27." This however is evidently based on misconception. The name Gilbert does not occur among the officers of either ship, and a log in the Public Record Office, no. 4559/213-215, bears the name of G. Gilbert, A.B. For a list of logs and journals of this voyage, see Add. MS. 38091, f. 40. This journal adds little to the other accounts printed and MS. Prefixed are a few biographical notes on the Gilbert family and a type-written letter (f. ii) from C. Humphrey Gilbert to Alban Doran; 28 Jan. 1907. Paper; ff. iv + 165. Small quarto. Presented by Alban Doran, Esq.
