- Captain Cook's journals were prepared from the original manuscripts by J.C. Beaglehole for the Hakluyt Society and were published by them in four volumes in 1955-67. The current selection was published by Penguin Classics as The journals of Captain Cook in 1999 and reprinted as The Journals, with a new further readings in 2003. This edition follows the 2003 edition with minor emendations and some stylistic modernisation."--Title page verso (volume one)
