John Rickman had a deep impact on psychoanalysis, combining a deep
knowledge thereof with an avid interest in social psychology, to
the benefit of both. He was a fresh thinker, always innovative,
with an extensive range of interests. This is an affectionate,
incisive, intelligent paean to one of the greats of psychoanalysis.
John Rickman, second lieutenant on one of the two ships commanded
by James Cook on his last expedition, wrote this journal during the
voyage. It was first published anonymously in 1781, because the
Admiralty embargoed all personal accounts until an official report
of the voyage was released. Rickman apparently wanted to anticipate
any attempt to blame him (a party under his command had killed a
Hawaiian chief) for precipitating Cook's death. This revised
edition, 'compared with, and corrected from, the voyage published
by authority' was published - again anonymously - in 1785. After an
editorial preface and an introductory account of earlier voyages to
the South Seas, the journal itself offers a detailed first-hand
narrative of the four-year voyage, including the deaths of Cook and
of Captain Clerke, who took over command of the expedition but died
of tuberculosis while searching for the western entrance to the
North-West Passage.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Rich in titles on
English life and social history, this collection spans the world as
it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles
include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of
nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world
that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American
Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side
of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various
