The Admiralty instructed Vancouver to publish a narrative of his voyage which he started to write in early 1796 in [[Petersham, London|Petersham]]. At the time of his death the manuscript covered the period up to mid-1795. The work, ''A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean, and Round the World'', was completed by his brother John and published in three volumes in the autumn of 1798.<ref>{{cite news|title=Review of new books|url=http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000545/17990901/014/0033|work=The Scots Magazine|date=1 September 1799|pages=33–38|via=[[British Newspaper Archive]]|url-access=subscription }}</ref> A second edition was published in 1801 in six volumes.<ref name="cooksociety"/><ref>{{cite news|title=Vancouver's voyage round the world|url=http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001475/18011107/010/0001|work=London Courier and Evening Gazette|date=7 November 1801|page=1|via=[[British Newspaper Archive]]|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
