About This Item
Dublin 1775: James Williams, 1775. Livre. Bon. Cuir. In-8. [suite du titre :] "the Endeavour : drawn up from the Journals which were kept by the several Commanders, and from the Papers of Joseph Banks, Esq. To which is added a Voyage to the North Pole, by Commodore Philips. In two volumes. Illustrated with Charts and elegant copper-plates." Dublin, James Williams, 1775. 2 volumes 20 x 13 cm (R), in-8°, 5 ff. + XXVIII pp. + 489 pp., 5 ff. + 529 pp. + 49 pp., avec, hors texte, deux grandes cartes dépliantes (cartes itinéraires) et 6 gravures sur cuivre dont 3 dépliantes, reliure de l'époque en plein veau, dos à 5 nerfs, orné de filets et fleurons dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin ornées. Edition pirate irlandaise de ce livre renfermant la narration du premier voyage de Cook, parue deux ans après l'originale. Une première édition dublinoise, plus économique encore, avait paru sans planche. Notre exemplaire est complet de toutes les cartes et gravures, bien sûr moins nombreuses que dans les luxueuses éditions de Londres de 1773. Ex-libris manuscrit ancien au titre (John Gones ?). Exemplaire plus que convenable, avec coiffes de tête élimées, mors très lég. fendillés, quelques traces blanches dans les mors et la dorure du tome 2, coins un peu émoussés, papier lég. bruni avec quelques rares piqûres éparses, quelques ombres, une déchirure sans manque de 8 cm environ dans la marge intérieure de la première carte, qui comporte par ailleurs un petit faux pli. // With two large folding maps showing the itinerary of the various navigators, and six engraved copper plates (3 folding), contemporary binding, full calf, spine withe 5 raised bands, fleurons and filets, morocoo orned labels. Pirat Irish edition of this narrative of the first travel of James Cook, published two years after the first edition. A previous Dublin edition, even cheaper, was published without any plate at all. Our copy has the maps and engravings it should, but there are of course much less engravings than in the two first London editions of 1773. Old inscription on title (John Gones ?). A more than acceptable copy, with small damages to upper headcaps, minor cracks to joints, some white stains to gilt and joints, corners slighlty blunt, paper slightly darkened, some occasional and rare dark foxing, a 8 cm tear without loss to the inner margin of the first map, which also has a minor wrong crease..
