SIR JOSEPH BARKS. 
Indeed the friendship of Cook and Banks never died out. 
Banks, in 1780,* drew up the statement on which the Lords Com- 
missioners of the Admiralty apphed to the King in Council for a pension 
for Cook’s wife and children. A paper is in Sir Joseph Banks’ autograph, 
dated Thursday, 28th July, 1785, 1 page folio. 
Jlemorandum for the division of the profits arising from the sale of the publication 
of Captain Cook’s late Voyage, agreed in the presence of Lord Sandwich, Lord 
Howe, Sir Joseph Banks, anti Mr. Stephens, &c. : — 
One and a half to Captain Cook’s family, with the interest thereof to Mrs. Cook 
for life, &c. 
One-fourth to the executors of Captain King, to be paid to his heirs. 
One-eighth to the legal representatives of Captain Clerke. 
One-eighth to ilr. Bligh. &c. 
Banks was consulted in regard to the publication of the results of 
both the second and third voyages of Cook. For example, as regards 
the third voyage, the name Isle of Desolation was changed into Ker- 
guelen Island at a meeting held at Banks’ house while the journal of 
that voyage was being prepared for pubhcation.
