Paris: Chez M. Gobert, 1618.. [13],232pp. plus four folding maps and four folding plates. Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on backstrip. "E" signature supplied from another copy. Quite clean and neat internally. A lovely, near fine copy. In a half morocco and cloth box. Famed philosopher John Locke's copy, with his ink ownership inscription on the front pastedown. In front of his signature Locke has made the notation "b" which, according to THE LIBRARY OF JOHN LOCKE by Harrison and Laslett, was an inventory mark put into books in or about 1697 and not to be found in any books acquired after that date. Locke has noted at the foot of the titlepage that this is a duplicate copy. ^The rare first Paris edition. Undertaken in 1615 and lasting until 1617, this important expedition was the third complete circumnavigation, after Magellan in 1519 and Drake in 1577. The expedition was the first to round Cape Horn from the east, naming the Cape after the Dutch town of Hoorn, whose aggressive traders sponsored the voyage. In addition, the expedition explored the Pacific coast of South America, pursued the search for Terra Australis, and proved that Tierra del Fuego was not an island. Principle among the merchant benefactors of Hoorn was Isaac Le Maire, whose son, Jacob Le Maire, was charged as the director of the enterprise, and for whom the Le Maire strait is named. "Partly inspired by Quiros and motivated by Dutch trading zeal, this [voyage] was the essential precursor to Tasman's voyage; indeed Tasman made great use of Le Maire's mapping of the ocean. The Le Maire voyage, the last of the seventeenth century expeditions to search for the unknown continent from the east, was responsible for extensive discoveries in the Pacific..." - Hordern House. ^This edition contains four maps and four plates. They are: a map of the world in two hemispheres with surrounding portraits; a map of Tierra del Fuego; a map of the South Sea; a plate of a Polynesian sailing a canoe; a plate bearing the inscription, "Isle de Cocos"; a plate bearing the inscription, "Isle de Hoorn"; a plate of the "Indian kings" and their village; and a map of Nova Guinea. This copy has the pagination errors on pages 56, 215, and 179, not found in all copies. ^Schouten's work was originally published in Amsterdam in 1618 by Willem Jansz Blaeu. Though printed in his name, Schouten was most likely not the author of the present work, and it was probably compiled for him by Blaeu from the ships' logs. The work proved exceedingly popular, "no fewer than thirty- eight editions of the work were printed in Holland alone between the year 1618 and 1766" (Church). This is the first Paris edition. A fundamental voyage in worldwide navigation. SABIN 77952. EUROPEAN AMERICANA 618/119. PALAU 305104 (Paris 1619 ed) TIELE-MULLER 42n.

Description:
Frankfurt: Blaeu, 1619. Scarce copper engraved map of the northwest coastline of New Guinea and Moluccas, showing the track of the Dutch explorers Le Maire and Schouten in 1616, in the ships Eendracht and Hoorn. The two explorers made the third complete circumnavigation and were the first to round Cape Horn from the east, a more efficient way to get to the East Indies and thus a significant threat to the monopoly held by the Dutch East India Company. The expedition was headed for Batavia, which it reached in October of 1616. The Dutch governor there obliged them by confiscating their cargo and sending them back to Holland, but Schouten published his journals and now the word on the Drake Passage was out. With title cartouche in Dutch, Latin and French. With two compass rose and sailing ship. From Schouten's account of his and Le Maire's first rounding of Cape Horn. Slightly toned, otherwise very good condition.

Description:
Without titlepage (that has a portrait of the author on the back side), but the colophon states: Amsterdam, Ian Iacobsz Bouman, 1651, 8vo., half parchment and marbled paper binding, 56 pp., illustrated with 4 small woodcuts in the text and 6 double paged illustrations outside the collation. These illustrations are pasted in and all but one are woodcuts. The one between page 38 and 39 doensn't seem to belong in this book. It is an etching instead of a woodcut and small tears are diguised with snippets of another print (not the print that should be there). This edition of 1651 is not mentioned in STCN or WorldCat, but was found in the collection of the Maritiem Museum. The print that is missing in our copy is discussed on maritiemdigitaal.nl (Hoornse Eylandt). The book has some smudged pages with greyish stains, but the woodcuts are beautiful and the bookblock solid without any torn pages. Very rare edition of the marvellous journey by Schouten.

Description:
London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1823. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: [viii]ix-xii [1]2-544. FIRST EDITION. Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book. William Wilson (1772-1849) inherited a substantial sum from an uncle, and decided to indulge his passion for travel. He travelled throughout Europe and The Middle East and wrote a series of books. This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.

2 Volumes: xxxii+368 pages with frontispiece, five folding maps and ten plates; ix+[369]-640 pages with frontispiece, two folding maps, six plates, bibliography and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series, volumes 138 and 139. First edition.By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarch of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities.

As a result of this struggle seventeen embassies were exchanged between the Russian tsars and the Georgian kins ruling in Kakheti during the years 1564-1605. W E D Allen and Anthony… Read More
