WELD, Isaac (1774-1856)
Travels through the States of North America and in the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada During the Years 1795 1796 and 1797
London: Printed for John Stockdale 1799. Quarto. 10 7/16 x 8 1/8 inches. xxiv 464 pp. 11 engraved plates including the frontispiece 2 plans and 3 maps one of which is hand colored in outline. Complete with the rare erratum slip mounted at the foot of the plate list. Contemporary full calf. Spine gilt with black morocco lettering piece. Neat repairs to joints<br/> <br/> First edition of the travel narrative that influenced a generation of British emigrants to the Canadian provinces.<br/> <br/> Isaac Weld traveled through North America in the late 18th century and recorded his adventures in this wry series of letters. He arrived in America in 1795 at the age of 19 accompanied by a servant and traveled the continent on horseback on foot and by canoe. His distaste for American frontiersmen and the coarseness of manners in the United States would prove typical of English travelers for decades to come. Between July and November 1796 he travelled from Lake Champlain to Montréal and Québec returning through Montréal and continuing his journey to Kingston Newark Niagara-on-the-Lake Malden Amherstburg Detroit and Fort Erie. He declared the scenery from the Upper Town of Québec to surpass 'all that I have hitherto seen in America or indeed in any other part of the globe' and felt that travelling conditions between Québec and Montréal were the best in North America. Based on these observations he concluded that 'a man of moderate property could provide for his family with much more ease in Canada than in the United States' because of the abundance of affordable land. Like many other British travellers then and later Weld felt most at home in the Canadian provinces. Weld's narrative was reprinted more than that of any other European traveler to North America in the later 18th-century. The engraved plates are after sketches by the author. 'A New Map of Upper & Lower Canada' dated 1798 extends from James's Bay to the north Lake Winnipeg to the west and New Brunswick to the east with the territory of the United States below the Candian border left undefined by blank space.<br/> <br/> Cox 176; Stanton and Tremaine 708; Lowndes 2868; Gagnon I: 3701; Lande 890; JCB II: 4062; Clark II: 132; Rich 1799; Allibone 2636; Sabin 102541; ESTC T110539; Howes W-235; Story p. 103; Vlach 754; Winsor V p.284 & VIII 174 191.

Isaac Weld 1774-1856 conducted a survey of the United States from 1795 to 1797 covering the Eastern Seaboard and parts of the American frontier including Virginia Pennsylvania New York and the Carolinas. Weld traveled by horseback boat and on foot observing the social political and economic conditions of the newly formed nation. In "Travels" he commented on the vast natural beauty of the American landscape the state of infrastructure and the way of life of settlers and Native American tribes he encountered. Weld was critical of the rough manners and egalitarianism he witnessed contrasting it with European refinement yet he admired the industrious spirit of Americans. His narrative of the nascent United States helped to shape European opinions of the new nation during the Revolutionary period. John Stockdale unknown

WELD, Isaac, junior
Travels through the States of North America
London: John Stockdale 1799. An enthusiastic admirer of the beauties of nature First edition with the index incorrectly identifying the fourth plate. This work handsomely illustrated from the author's sketches "was regarded as the great authority of the period on American subjects. There can be no question that the colonization of Canada was mainly promoted and influenced by this book" Bibliotheca Americana. Isaac Weld 1774-1856 left Dublin for Philadelphia in 1795 and "accompanied by a faithful servant sometimes on horseback sometimes on foot or in a canoe he made his way often under the guidance of Native Americans through the vast forests and along the great rivers. He narrowly escaped shipwreck on Lake Erie and experienced all the adventure incident to passing through an unsettled country while in the towns he mixed in the best society and had the privilege of meeting George Washington" ODNB. Aside from the attractive folding map the work includes plans of Washington DC and Quebec; maps of Canada and the Niagara Falls; three views of the Falls; and an illustration of an "American stage waggon" leaving a staging post. The work proved popular going through four editions by 1807 and being translated into French German and Dutch. The plate showing the Hudson River is labelled as "View of the Patowmac River from Mount Vernon". The index of the second edition is corrected. Quarto 270 x 207 mm pp. xxiv 464 8. Engraved frontispiece and 14 plates views and plates one folding map hand-coloured in outline; 8 pp. publisher's advertisements at end. Contemporary speckled calf smooth spine with gilt bands red morocco spine label covers ruled in blind.

On another he moved west to York and Lancaster the northern neck of Virginia and Williamsburg and Norfolk apparently going as far south as the Dismal Swamp. At Williamsburg he noted that the captial was crumbling to pieces that William and Mary was a grammar school rather that a college that the church was out of repair and that the hospital for the insane was not well regulated. On his return he journeyed to Richmond and west to the mountains and as was usual with travelers he described Rock Bridge. After coming back to Philadelphia he went to Canada. His departure for home took place at New York."--Clark II 132. HOWES W-235. Sabin 102541. Haynes 20950. unknown

Weld, Isaac
Travels Through the States of North America and the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada During the Years 1795 1796 and 1797
<p>2 vols. 8vo modern half morocco & marbled boards spine ruled in gilt raised bands morocco lettering pieces new endpapers. Illustrated with 16 folding views plans and maps; xix 1 427; viii 376 pp. Minor aging and some darkening to a few pages and some foxing to one plate. Near fine condition. Weld an Irishman came to America in 1795 when he was nineteen. This work narrates his travels through the former colonies along the eastern seaboard and the Canadian provinces. Very popular at the time it was published Weld comments on the population and social habits and customs of the people he saw. According to Howes Weld seemed to prefer Canada to the States. Compared to the similar works of this period Weld seems to be fairly objective on most things. However whether or not his observation that Americans lose their teeth prematurely is accurate would be hard to substantiate. Contains several interesting views of Niagara Falls Mt. Vernon Bethlehem PA and a large map of the northern portion of the United States with inset of the southern States.</p> John Stockdale hardcover

Weld, Jr, Isaac
Travels through the States of North America and the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada during the Years 1795 1796 AND 1797
London: John Stockdale 1800. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. Vol I: xx 427; II: viii 376 pp. fold plates map. Third edition. In early 20th century cloth; lacking the advertisements called for by Howes; all plates are present. Bindings are a little worn at the spine ends with some fraying to head of the spine of Volume I otherwise only light edgewear; endpaper split at the hinges but have been discreetly and neat reglued and are strong; early pencil markings—mostly small hands with pointing fingers in the margins; list of places with pencil check marks probably more recent; light and foxing throughout but more so around the folding plates and maps even here it is not very distracting. This is a fairly nice copy in 20th century binding of a very good early travel narrative. <br /> <br /> Originally issued by Stockdale in 1799 this is an early edition of a frequently reprinted travel narrative this edition with striking views of Niagra Falls Hudson River Natural Bridge in Virginia and more. Clark writes "It is obvious from this volume that he was a loyal Englishman with enough aristocratic prejudice not to understand the American frontiersmen. His attitude is indicated by his closing remarks that he left the United States 'without a sigh and without entertaining the slightest wish to revisit ti.' In the cities he mixed with the best society and met the important leaders of the country including Washington and Jefferson. Of them he was less critical" Clark Old South II 132.
