‎London: Printed for D. Midwinter and A. Ward. 1732. 2214197-40016 of 24pp. plus seven plates including frontispiece. Lacks the final four leaves of the index. 12mo. Contemporary calf rebacked with original backstrip laid down. Light shelf wear corners worn. Contemporary bookplate and presentation inscriptions see below. One plate torn lacking the lower left quarter of the sheet repaired with blank paper. One page with early manuscript marginalia. Scattered light foxing. About very good. A remarkable association copy connecting two significant members of the Revolutionary generation who were also united by family intermarriage and whose friendship was riven by their divergent loyalties during the American Revolution. This copy bears the bookplate of Francis Hopkinson 1737-91 signer of the Declaration of Independence author and poet composer judge and Pennsylvania government official. The ANB calls him "arguably the most versatile American of the revolutionary generation." This book was given to Hopkinson by the noted minister Jacob Duché who would shortly thereafter marry Hopkinson's sister and who famously broke with the cause of liberty during the Revolution. <br> <br> A front fly leaf bears the presentation inscription "The Present of Mr. Jacob Duché Junr. to Francis Hopkinson December 1757." The same hand has signed the titlepage with the names of Jacob Duché and Francis Hopkinson and the date 1757. On that page Duché's name has been crossed out indicating that the inscriptions are likely in the hand of Duché and that he crossed out his own name on the titlepage when he gave the book to Francis Hopkinson. Jacob Duché and Francis Hopkinson had a long and complicated friendship dating back at least to their college days at the College of Philadelphia later the University of Pennsylvania. In 1760 three years after giving him this book Duché married Hopkinson's sister Elizabeth. Francis Hopkinson was a prolific author and musician and published forty poems before the Revolution. A copy of HUDIBRAS Samuel Butler's famous satirical poem on English politics would have been a welcome and influential gift. "During the Revolution Hopkinson wrote a number of ballads and essays poking fun at the British cause and the Loyalists. 'The Birds the Beasts and the Bat' written in Hudibrastic verse served to ridicule those persons who tried to take both sides during the Revolution" - ANB. <br> <br> It is impossible not to believe that one of those targets of Hopkinson's ridicule was the gifter of the present edition of HUDIBRAS his brother-in-law Jacob Duché. Duché 1738- 98 born into a wealthy Philadelphia family was only twenty-two years old when he married Elizabeth Hopkinson. He would go on to become a prominent minister and religious leader in Philadelphia noted for his well- written sermons and essays. In 1774 he was asked to serve as the chaplain to the Continental Congress and he therefore gained political prominence as well displaying an apparent zeal for liberty. Duché resigned his official position with the Congress in October 1776 having concluded that the Declaration of Independence - signed just three months earlier by his friend and brother-in-law - would not serve as a tool for reconciliation with England. When the British captured Philadelphia Duché was imprisoned by General Howe and came to a permanent change of heart regarding the revolutionary cause. In 1777 he wrote a rash letter to George Washington urging that Washington undo the Declaration of Independence and negotiate a peace. The publication of the letter destroyed Duché's career and "those whose hearts had thrilled to Duché's eloquence now cursed him as a traitor and even Hopkinson wrote him a burning letter of protest" DAB. Duché and his family soon exiled themselves to London. The conclusion of the Revolutionary War did not provide Duché with an opportunity to return to the United States - anti-Loyalist sentiments were still too raw. It was not until 1792 having by then taken up the tenets of Swedenborgianism that Duché and his family finally returned to Philadelphia where he lived the rest of his life. <br> <br> Francis Hopkinson's bookplate was engraved by the noted artist and engraver Henry Dawkins one of the early engravers in the colonies. Dawkins was born in England but came to New York City in 1754. He found work engraving bookplates maps and music in New York and then in Philadelphia before returning again to New York in 1774. He was arrested there in 1776 and charged with counterfeiting paper money apparently not for the first time for which he was jailed. Later that year he petitioned the New York Provincial Congress for release but the record of Dawkins's life ends there and we do not know what became of him. <br> <br> This is a later edition of Samuel Butler's famous epic poem first published in three parts in London beginning in 1663. An edition containing all three parts together was first published in 1684. This edition contains seven engravings by William Hogarth. In the present edition parts two and three have separate titlepages and that of part three bears the imprint "printed for B. Motte. The text is continuous despite the pagination. <br> <br> A remarkable volume - a gift of youthful friendship inspirational to a signer of the Declaration of Independence whose long and close friendship with his brother-in-law would become a casualty of conflicting loyalties during the American Revolution.

‎Leiden: Nicolaus a Geelkercken 1619. 1751pp. lacking blank leaf P4 which divides the two narratives but was mistakenly included as pp.119-120 in the continuous pagination; including large engraved vignette on title with twenty-five engraved plates five folding double-page and two large folding maps. Oblong quarto. Contemporary Dutch vellum. Old stains and soiling to boards manuscript "33" in ink on spine edges rubbed boards slightly bowed. Modern bookplate on front pastedown. Minor toning and foxing tiny reinforcement at mounting stub on verso of each large folding map some offsetting. Overall very good. In a blue cloth box gilt leather label. Scarce first Latin edition of one of the bestsellers of illustrated 17th-century travel literature which reports Le Maire's critical DISCOVERY OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO an alternate route to the Pacific and also recounts the Pacific pillaging of the veteran East Indies sailor-turned-pirate Joris van Spilbergen. In addition the work includes valuable early information on ports along the Pacific coast of the Americas and is also of interest for the 17th-century Dutch presence in Brazil. Rich in ethnographic detail the numerous illustrations in the SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. include images of oversized penguins llamas and an Andean condor with a nine-foot wing span. Naval battles beleaguered Spanish settlements and newly discovered islands are also depicted in detail making this a valuable compendium of adventure on the high seas during the Age of Discovery. <br> <br> In 1614 the VOC commissioned Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas with nearly 700 men. Despite the ostensible commercial nature of his expedition Spilbergen's six vessels were heavily armed anticipating encounters with silver-laden Spanish vessels. Spilbergen spent two years calling at various Spanish and Portuguese ports along both coasts of South America failing to capture any great amounts of silver or silk from Manila but burning several settlements and emerging triumphant from a naval skirmish just south of Lima. <br> <br> By contrast Le Maire's less mercenary expedition resulted in important discoveries; his exploration of Tierra del Fuego and the Tuamotou Archipelago called into doubt the existence of a massive southern continent providing a catalyst for Tasman's discovery of New Zealand and Australia. The two expeditions crossed paths in the Dutch East Indies in 1616. <br> <br> Spilbergen's fleet of six ships was fitted out and armed to combat the Spanish colonies attacking Spanish settlements and shipping along their route. They sailed to Brazil then through the Straits of Magellan and north along the coast of America as far as California. After sailing east to the Philippines they went on to Batavia in search of a Spanish fleet reportedly planning to attack Dutch settlements in the Moluccas but they never found a fleet. On his arrival at Batavia Spilbergen encountered Le Maire and Schouten whose voyage for the newly-formed Compagnie Australe had embarked in 1615 a year after Spilbergen's. Le Maire and Schouten traveled via the newly-discovered Le Maire Strait but on their arrival at Batavia they were arrested for breaching the monopoly granted to the Dutch East India Company of the Strait of Magellan. Spilbergen took Le Maire Schouten and their crews on board and escorted them back to the Netherlands virtually as prisoners. Le Maire grew ill and died en route. <br> <br> This work is remarkable as an early document on Dutch navigation to the Brazilian coasts. Its great value lies in Spilbergen's detailed account of their stay in the Ilha Grande from October 1614 to January 1615 and in São Vicente in 1615. Plate 2 depicting the disordered landing of Dutch vessels in São Vicente clearly documents the way of life of the indigenous peoples under Portuguese occupancy. Colonial religious structures appear alongside typical Native American hammocks and traditional Brazilian costumes and methods of animal husbandry are evident. This illustration with its explanatory text is particularly important as 17th-century ethnographic documents about the future São Paulo are very rare. <br> <br> One of the large folding maps remains important for illustrating Le Maire and Schouten's route across the Pacific. Other maps show the Straits of Magellan and Manila the Moluccas and various ports on the Pacific coast of America. <br> <br> The SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. was originally published in Dutch the same year as this Latin edition with identical plates. Translations in other languages followed rapidly: German in 1620 Frankfurt and French in 1621 Amsterdam.

‎THREE SIGNIFICANT DUTCH VOYAGES TO THE FAR EAST IN EARLY FRENCH TRANSLATIONS BOUND TOGETHER AS ISSUED‎

‎Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1610. Three volumes bound in one. Described in greater detail below. Folio. Contemporary vellum over boards rebacked with original spine preserved. Bookplate on front pastedown. Light soiling and repairs to titlepages; minor soiling otherwise. Very good. Three highly important Dutch voyages all in their second French editions and bound together as issued in 1610. These three voyages represent the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. The foundational accounts in the present volume originally issued together by Amsterdam printer Cornille Nicolas include: <br> <br> 1 Lodewijcksz Willem: PREMIER LIVRE DE L'HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION AUX INDES ORIENTALES PAR LES HOLLANDOIS. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. 53 leaves. Titlepage with engraved map forty-five in-text engravings including three maps seventeen in-text woodcut illustrations and one plate on separate leaf following printed text. Moderate soiling on titlepage slight edge wear to first few leaves. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1598. Lodewijcksz gives an account of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies under Cornelis Houtman from 1595 to 1597. The information collected by Houtman on the spice trade convinced the Dutch they could compete with Portugal's monopoly in the East Indies and his narrative served to initiate the explosion of Dutch trading at the turn of the century. <br> <br> "Like the English Houtman's men suffered so severely from scurvy that they had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope and at Antongil Bay in Madagascar to recuperate. But they then sailed straight across the Indian Ocean to the Straits of Sunda and dropped anchor at Bantam in Java without the loss of a ship. At this port the center of the Javanese pepper trade a long time was spent. Both natives and Portuguese showed considerable hostility and Houtman and some of his men were imprisoned. However the Dutch succeeded in making a commercial treaty and departed with a good cargo. They proceeded eastward to Bali and then returned along the south coast of Java thereby acquiring a more correct impression of the width of the island than had prevailed and laid the ghost of Java's being the northern part of the Southern Continent.the Dutch skipper had enough to show for his venture to inspire the merchants of Amsterdam with a determination to exploit the trade" - Penrose. <br> <br> 2 Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van: LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 224 leaves. Titlepages with engraved illustrations twenty-two in-text engravings including one map two in-text woodcuts. Leaves D2 and D3 lacking provided in facsimile. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay includes word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité. 3 Noort Olivier van: DESCRIPTION DU PENIBLE VOYAGE FAIT ENTOUR DE L'UNIVERS OV GLOBE TERRESTRE.

Twenty-five in-text engravings including three maps. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French printing of 1602. Van Noort a former innkeeper in Rotterdam sponsored by a group of Dutch merchants accomplished the fourth circumnavigation of the globe after Magellan Drake and Cavendish. He was the first Dutch explorer to do so making the trip from 1598 to 1601. The voyage was particularly arduous. Half the crew mutinied his ships were constantly harassed and most of those that didn't mutiny perished from disease. He returned to Holland "with only one battered ship and eight crew left although some accounts suggest that forty-five crew survived. His voyage contributed little to the geographical knowledge of the time but had some effect in opening the way to the establishment of the Dutch in the East Indies.Van Noort's achievement however captured the imagination of his countrymen and the published accounts sold well the first appearing only eighteen days after his return. A more complete edition appeared later that year followed by two amended editions in 1602" Howgego. <br> <br> Three of the most important pioneering French voyages to the Far East bound together as issued.

‎OBSERVATIONS ON A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS LITERARY MORAL AND RELIGIOUS; IN A SERIES OF ORIGINAL LETTERS WRITTEN BY TAMOC CASPIPINA A GENTLEMAN OF FOREIGN EXTRACTION.‎

‎Philadelphia: Printed by John Dunlap 1774. x2411pp. 12mo. Modern three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Minor foxing and toning. Very good. The "gentleman of foreign extraction" was actually Jacob Duche a notorious Philadelphia Loyalist distinguished for having been appointed Chaplain of the Continental Congress and then turning the tables on his fellow revolutionaries by predicting their defeat and urging the recall of the Declaration of Independence. He was cursed as a traitor and took refuge in England in 1777. The letters contained herein relate mostly to describing prominent Philadelphia residents and institutions. The author gives an account of the Quakers and writes favorably of Philadelphia and of America in general. His ingenious pseudonym "Tamoc Caspipina" is an acronym derived from his position of "The Assistant Minister of Christ's Church and St. Peter's in Philadelphia in North America."

‎NACHRICHTEN VON DER AMERIKANISCHEN HALBINSEL CALIFORNIEN: MIT EINEM ZWEYFACHEN ANHANG FALSCHER NACHRICHTEN.‎

‎Mannheim: Churfurstl. Hof-und Academie-Buchdruckerey 1773. 16358pp. plus two engraved plates and folding map. Contemporary patterned paper boards expertly rebacked and recornered to style preserving original leather label. Internally clean. Very good plus. Second issue with some corrections after the first printing of the previous year of this rare account of Lower California by the German Jesuit Jacob Baegert. Baegert lived in Baja California from 1751 to 1768 and spent most of his time at the Mission of San Luis Gonzaga leaving after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. He provides some important details on the culture of the Indians of Baja California including the Pericues Guiacuras and Cochiemes. Wagner states that the German Jesuits were especially dissatisfied toward the end of the Jesuit regime in California and Baegert's bitterness is evident in his book: ".it was a land full of ferocious beasts and even more ferocious Indians the soil was poor the water undrinkable and there was no fuel to be had." The fine and important map was made by the fellow Jesuit Ferdinand Consak and is described by Streeter as "most helpful in giving the location of the many Jesuit missions in Lower California. It also shows the route along the west coast of Mexico followed by Baegert in going to California in 1751 and his route out in 1768 after the expulsion of the Jesuits." The top right corner of the territory present-day Arizona is labeled rather ominously "Los Apaches Barbari." The excellent plates which were apparently not issued with all copies depict male and female California Indians. The NUC locates only three copies of this second issue. <br> <br> A prime early account of Baja California with an important map and plates of the region. <br> <br> The Streeter copy sold to Dawson's Book Shop of Los Angeles for $150 in 1968.

‎Lodewijcksz Willem: Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van‎

‎TWO SIGNIFICANT DUTCH VOYAGES TO THE FAR EAST IN EARLY FRENCH TRANSLATIONS BOUND TOGETHER AS ISSUED‎

‎Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two volumes bound in one. Described in greater detail below. Folio. Contemporary boards rebacked in calf spine gilt leather label. Very good. From the Library of the Earls of Macclesfield with engraved 1860 bookplate on front pastedown and blind pressure stamp on first two printed leaves of first title. Two highly important Dutch voyages both in their second French editions and bound together as issued in 1609. These two voyages represent the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. The two foundation accounts in the present volume originally issued together by Amsterdam printer Cornille Nicolas include: <br> <br> 1 Lodewijcksz Willem: PREMIER LIVRE DE L'HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION AUX INDES ORIENTALES PAR LES HOLLANDOIS. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. 53 leaves. Titlepage with engraved map forty-five in-text engravings including three maps seventeen in-text woodcut illustrations and one plate on separate leaf following printed text. Moderate soiling on titlepage slight edge wear to first few leaves. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1598. Lodewijcksz gives an account of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies under Cornelis Houtman from 1595 to 1597. The information collected by Houtman on the spice trade convinced the Dutch they could compete with Portugal's monopoly in the East Indies and his narrative served to initiate the explosion of Dutch trading at the turn of the century. <br> <br> "Like the English Houtman's men suffered so severely from scurvy that they had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope and at Antongil Bay in Madagascar to recuperate. But they then sailed straight across the Indian Ocean to the Straits of Sunda and dropped anchor at Bantam in Java without the loss of a ship. At this port the center of the Javanese pepper trade a long time was spent. Both natives and Portuguese showed considerable hostility and Houtman and some of his men were imprisoned. However the Dutch succeeded in making a commercial treaty and departed with a good cargo. They proceeded eastward to Bali and then returned along the south coast of Java thereby acquiring a more correct impression of the width of the island than had prevailed and laid the ghost of Java's being the northern part of the Southern Continent.the Dutch skipper had enough to show for his venture to inspire the merchants of Amsterdam with a determination to exploit the trade" - Penrose. <br> <br> 2 Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van: LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves. Titlepages with engraved illustrations twenty-two in-text engravings including one map two in-text woodcuts. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay includes word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité. <br> <br> Two of the most important of the pioneering French voyages to the Far East bound together as probably issued in this edition.
