London: Richard Bentley, 1849. Two volumes. Original publisher's dark blue cloth, decorated in blind, spines lettered in gilt, printed endleaves (BAL's A). 15mm. snag at crown of first spine toward lower joint, with some surface loss, foretips a bit bruised, old faded ink signature in top margin of each title, some occasional mild smudging and a few old spots to first title, otherwise a very good set. The rare first issue of the first edition, being one of 335 sets in the primary binding of Bentley's first printing of 750 copies. The remaining sets of sheets were bound up two volumes in one with cancel title leaves for each volume, with a new date, when Bentley remaindered this title in 1853, along with WHITE-JACKET and THE WHALE, due to continuing poor sales. This London edition preceded the New York edition by over a month, and like all of Melville's multi- volume London publications, is very scarce, particularly when in original cloth. The half- title is present in the second volume, but the first was published without a half-title. BAL 13659. SADLEIR EXCURSIONS, p.226.

We have 134 copies available starting at $1.70.

Description:
1822 Famous 2ed David Porter Journal USS Essex Battle of Valparaiso War of 1812

David Porter was an early American naval captain who served on the USS Constitution and the USS Essex. While aboard the Essex, Porter faced significant hardships, including the Battle of Valparaiso where the ship was ultimately disabled. Porter kept a journal of his time aboard the Essex, a journal that was quickly published after capture of the Essex.
According to Hill, the second of Porter's 'Journal' is the "best edition" and is more complete even than the first. In fact, this edition contains the first instance of the details of Porter's loss of the USS Essex in 1814. This edition also includes an expanded preface as well as folding maps and notes and illustrations on the Galapagos Islands.
