COOK'S VOYAGES.
An interesting addition to the manuscript department of the British museum is-the volume of memoirs written by John Elliott, of Ellictt llouso. This has been presented by Mrs. Ashmore. Elliott served as a midshipman in the Resolution during Cook's voyage of 1772-75, and the memoir supplements his log of the voyage, which is in the Public Record Office- Much of it is amusing for its personal detail. Thus there is an account of Sir Joseph Banks, withdrawing from the vessel, together with thei painter. Zoffany. and swearing and stamping on the quay.
