 Cook (James)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In marked contrast to Commodore John Byron and Captain Samuel Wallis, the aristocratic leaders of England's earlier voyages of Pacific exploration, Cook sprang from the lower ranks of society, was haphazardly educated and had not even spent his whole career in the Royal Navy: His training had been in the merchant marine.
For Captain Cook returning from his second voyage, and reading what he was supposed to have written, was shocked and outraged, and would have none of it.
Captain Cook writes modestly, but we now realize that a plain, sailor-like style is admirably suited to a narrative of endurance and achievement; while in descriptive passages, such as that of the great ice barrier, its very simplicity lends a vivid charm.
