In the meantime , in 1773 , he published an account of the voyage as part of An Account of the Voyages undertaken by Byron , Wallis , Carteret and Cook , but that volume 's editor John Hawkesworth made changes to his account and so Carteret produced a version of his own ( which , however , only got published in 1965 , by the Hakluyt Society ) .
