Description (CMS Description)
See David Mckitterick, 1995, The Making of the Wren Library: Trinity College, Cambridge, 1995 p. 105. The copy of the Green manuscript, which McKitterick notes is derived from a larger one reatained by the Admiralty or Sandwich himself, is from Trinity College MS Add.a.106, ff. 108r- 109v.
Mackitterick also notes an early exhibition label attributing a gift of a quiver and arrows to Cook himself survives as MS 0.11a.4 (8), but this is not included in the copies above.

[NB location of these copies not checked- may be stored in the box file 'Cook Collecton' stored in the Bevan workroom]
