     summary: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Captain Cook has passed away, and the generation of men, with those whom he benefited and those who slew him, has gone to its account, but the coral islands remain as they were of old, resplendent with the beautiful works of God, though not, _as of old_, marred so terribly by the diabolical devices of man. So careful and correct was he in all that he did, that men in power and in high places began to take special notice of him; and, finally, when, in the year 1767, an expedition of importance was about to be sent to the southern seas for scientific purposes, Cook was chosen to command it.

       words: 10711

     summary: The author is confident, that if Captain King could have foreseen, that any wrong opinion respecting Captain Cook, would have been the consequence of omitting some circumstances relative to his death; the goodnatured motive that induced him to be silent, would not have stood a moment in competition with the superior call of justice to the memory of his friend. It was an object they never neglected, even at the greatest hazard, to carry off their slain; a custom, probably, owing to the barbarity with which they treat the dead body of an enemy, and the trophies they make of his bones.[8] Some Particulars Concerning the Life and Character of Captain Cook Captain Cook was born at Marton, in Cleaveland, in the county of York, a small village, distant five miles south-east from Stockton.

       title: Narrative of the Voyages Round the World, Performed by Captain James Cook With an Account of His Life During the Previous and Intervening Periods
        date: None
       words: 160172
      flesch: 60
     summary: A Narrative of the Life and Actions of Captain Cook must principally consist of the voyages and discoveries he made, and the difficulties and dangers to which he was exposed. Of the two extremes, the last seems to be that which should most be avoided; for, unless what Captain Cook performed, and what he encountered, be related somewhat at large, his Life and Actions would be imperfectly represented to the world.
