It was subsequently republished separately, and is here taken from the edition of 1907. Burney concentrates on the activities of the buccaneers on the Pacific c…

With Captain James Cook in the Antarctic and Pacific. The Private Journal of James Burney, Second Lieutenant of the Adventure on Cook's Second Voyage 1772-1773
BEVERLEY HOOPER makes no excessive claims for the contents of this admirably edited and beautifully produced book. If anything, she underestimates the value of the informal account which James Burney kept during his first Pacific voyage, apparently for the benefit of his family. True, the so-called private journal (the original is untitled) cannot compare in scope or authori ty with Cook ' s official record. Nor, as the editor remarks, is it as l…
