Kippis, D.D., F.R.S. London: Bickers & Son 1889.)The latest and best life is by Walter Besant,* (* Captain Cook byWalter Besant: English Men of Action London, Macmillan & Co. 1890.)whose graceful pen has given us a fascinating, interesting, and, as faras is possible, complete picture of this great Englishman. Many detailsof Cook's private life are lost, but enough has been collected by Mr.Besant to place our hero vividly before us, and a perusal of his work isstrongly recommended.
