| xi, 356 pp. 6 engraved plates. 6x4, later half calf and marbled boards, black leather spine label, all edges gilt. First Edition. |

Barrow gives a most interesting account of the later fortunes of the mutineers; also an account of the voyage and wreck of the Pandora, bringing back the mutineers from Tahiti: the trial of the mutineers; letters written by Captain Peter Heywood to his sister; and the discovery of John Adams and the Bounty descendants on Pitcairn island." Hill, 69. |
