Images are appropriately tagged; sources are reliable.

Suggest linking "southern continent" to Terra Australis.
Done.
"Mediated by Sandwich, he also was given access to": suggest "Sandwich gave him access to".
Did a slightly different copyedit.
"flaws were found with Hawkesworth's morals, theology, geography, and with the excessive payment he had received": can we expand on these criticisms?  The article is quite short, and the criticism sounds like a significant part of the response to it, but we get almost no details.
Yes, there could be more details. I have a few sources that go more in depth, but it could be a few days until I can do this justice.
You say it remained an authoritative source on the voyages for over a century.  Do modern sources that refer to it have anything interesting to say about its representations and accuracies or inaccuracies, or its biases, or anything of that sort?
As I understand it, people interested in the voyages nowadays use the various editions of the original journals instead. But you are right that I should include something about the more recent reception of Hawkesworth.

@Mike Christie:, thank you for the review! I will try to address your excellent points as soon as I can, but it could be a week. —Kusma (talk) 10:39, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
No problems with a delay; I'll check back in a week or so. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 11:34, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
@Mike Christie, I've added some more details and (I hope) answered some of your questions. I hope this is closer to "broad coverage" now, even though it certainly isn't near the FA standard of "comprehensive". —Kusma (talk) 23:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Looks good -- before I pass it, looks like there's a template error at the end of the very last sentence? Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 01:05, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Oops, fixed. —Kusma (talk) 05:58, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
