After this experience, Cook preferred to write his own report. Johann Reinhold Forster, on the other hand, believed he would be allowed to write the official report and reap the expected financial rewards from it. Both Cook and Forster had kept journals for this purpose and reworked them in the winter of 1775/76. In April 1776, Sandwich brokered a compromise that both sides agreed to: Cook should write the first volume, concentrating on the nautical observations, and the elder Forster was to write the second volume concerning the discoveries made in natural history and ethnology. Costs and profits were to be shared equally, but the Admiralty was to pay for the engravings. However, when Forster had completed a sample chapter, Sandwich was dissatisfied with the writing style and asked Daines Barrington to revise it. Reinhold Forster was furious about this interference with his writing, and refused to submit his drafts for correction. He offered to sell his manuscripts to the Admiralty for £200, which Cook and Barrington supported, but Sandwich refused. In June 1776, it was decided that Cook would publish his report alone, giving Cook the full financial benefit of the publication. Reinhold Forster's agreements with Sandwich made it impossible for him to publish a separate narrative. Georg Forster was not bound by his father's agreements with the Admiralty, and began to write "A Voyage Round the World" in July 1776. His father's journals were the main source for the work. The facts about what they saw and did are typically taken from these journals but recast into Georg's own style, with different ordering of the details and additional connecting material. Some parts were also based on segments of Cook's journals that Forster's father had had access to or on Georg's own notes and recollections, including his own memorandum "Observationes historiam naturalem spectantes quas in navigationes ad terras australes institutere coepit G. F .", which contains botanical and biological observations up to 1 January 1773. Unlike the systematic approach of Johann Reinhold Forster's later book "Observations Made during a Voyage round the World" (1778), "A Voyage Round the World" is a chronology of the voyage, but written as entertaining literature instead of a dry collection of facts, including the use of quotations from classical literature to frame the narrative. Among the first books using such scientific-literary techniques, it is regarded as a seminal book in the history of travel writing and has been described as "unambiguously the finest of the Cook voyage narratives".
