Cooke, Captain Edward (fl. circa 1700) A Voyage to the South Sea, and Round the World. London: Printed by H.M. for B. Lintot and R. Gosling in Fleet-Street, A. Bettesworth on London-Bridge, and W. Innys in St. Paul's Church-Yard, 1712. First edition, octavo, folding double-page world map by Senex, illustrated with nineteen engraved maps, plans, and plates (two are folding), bound in contemporary paneled calf, worn and rubbed, maps with some creasing, fraying, and edge chipping, some toning, 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 in. This "other" Captain Cooke piloted a ship with Captain Woodes Rogers, circumnavigating the globe on a buccaneering expedition. They landed on the California coast in 1709, and saw fit to pillage Spanish shipping routes down the west coast of South America. They also discovered castaway Alexander Selkirk on Juan Fernandez island: the real-life story that inspired Daniel Defoe to write Robinson Crusoe.
