‎MALASPINA EXPEDITION‎

‎Numero LXXV. Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits du Vendredi 18 September 1789 . Extrait d'une lettre de Madrid du 1 Septembre .‎

‎Leiden: Etienne Luzac 1789. Small 4to. 8 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. Woodcut arms of the Netherlands at the head of the first sheet. 4pp. With a 4pp. "Supplement aux Nouvelles Extraordinaires de Divers Endroits du Numero LXXV" inserted. Together 8pp. Unbound.<br/> <br/>Extremely rare broadsheet containing news of the Malaspina expedition: among the earliest printed records of Spain's greatest scientific voyage to the Pacific Ocean California and the Northwest Coast of America in the 18th century.<br/> <br/>The extract under the above heading continues: ". Les Corvettes de la Marine Royage la Découverte & l'Entreprenante commandées par Don Alexandre Malespina Capitaine de Frégate ont mìs à la voile de Cadix le 30 Juillet dernier. L'Expédition dont elles son chargées ayant pour objet les progrès des Sciences & de la Géographie elles ont été munies de tout ce qui est nécessaire pour faire un voyage autour du Monde; & outre des Oficiers d'une habilité reconnuë elles ont à bord des Astronomes des Naturalistes des Botanistes des Peintres de Perspective & de Botanique pourvus d'une Collection ample & précieuse d'Instruments de Mathématiques de Physique & Astronomie." Other news in the broadsheet concerns revolutionary events in France including a lengthy speech from Necker given at the National Assembly as well as news from Russia Stockholm the Hague and elsewhere. In 1789 Malaspina and Bustamente drew up plans for this scientific circumnavigation which was to rival Captain Cook the purposes being to chart the most remote regions of America and to observe the political state of America relative to Spain. Alexander Dalrymple assisted them with scientific instruments a brilliant team of scientists was assembled and ships specially constructed. Surveys were made of the east and west coasts of South America they fixed the exact position of Cape Horn correcting Cook's reading. On receipt of orders to investigate the apocryphal Strait of Anian they sailed for Alaska and entered Yakutat Bay at the supposed latitude of the strait where the Malaspina Glacier flows into the sea and followed the coast to Prince William Sound and Nootka. Malaspina surveyed the coast south to California at Monterey Bay and crossed the Pacific in 1791. Two of his officers and Jose de Espinosa y Tello returned north in search of a North-West Passage and published the charts and account of this secondary voyage in 1802. In the Philippines New Zealand and New South Wales Malaspina continued charting before making an easterly passage around the Horn for Spain. "In spite of having commanded Spain's greatest scientific voyage of exploration to the South Seas in the eighteenth century Malaspina is virtually unknown. He had enemies in the Spanish court who suppressed his reports which were not printed until.1885. Some scholars consider the exploits of his five-year voyage as great as those of La Pérouse or of Captain Cook" Hill. Eighteenth century material concerning the voyage is of the utmost rarity.<br/> <br/>Howgego M26; Cf. Hill 1068. Etienne Luzac unknown books‎

A la suite du discours prononcé le 27 février 1823, les ultras demandèrent son exclusion, malinteprétant un passage où ils virent une justification de la déchéance de Louis XVI : en dépit de ses protestations, le malheureux député fut expulsé de la séance. Bravant sa déchéance, il revint le lendemain et prononça alors sa fameuse réplique: "M le Président, j'ai annoncé hier que je ne céderais qu'à la violence, aujourd'hui je viens tenir ma parole". Il fallut faire appel à la gendarmerie pour l'expulser de force, et Manuel fut ovationné par la foule en sortant de l'Assemblée.

Quarto 11½ x 8 ¾" bound in the original blind stamped cloth. Volume 1 rebacked with the original cloth spine laid down. Hill 1332; Sabin 30968 Stabbed signature of the author included. First edition of the House Issue.<br /><br />Detailed and profusely illustrated account of Perry's expedition to open Japan to the West; Upon his return to the U.S. his chief duty for the following year was to compile his reports of the expedition aided by Francis Hawks. The first volume has the account of the voyage and lithographs of the travel; the second volume has the natural history reports by D.S. Green and others and includes hand-colored plates of Japanese fishes and shells. In addition to the artist W. Heine from whose drawings a great number of the lithographs were made the daguerreotypist E. Brown Jr. went on the expedition taking what were undoubtedly the earliest photographic images of Japan many of them reproduced lithographically in this work. This copy with the nude bathing plate which was not included on the list of plates and not issued in all copies. <br /><br />In advance of his voyage to the Far East Commodore Perry read widely amongst available books about Tokugawa Japan. His research even included consultation with the increasingly well-known Japanologist Philipp Franz von Siebold who had lived on the Dutch island of Dejima for eight years before retiring to Leiden in the Netherlands. In 1852 Perry embarked from Norfolk Virginia for Japan in command of a squadron in search of a Japanese trade treaty. Aboard a black-hulled steam frigate he ported Mississippi Plymouth Saratoga and Susquehanna at Uraga Harbor near Edo modern Tokyo on July 8 1853. His actions at this crucial juncture were informed by a careful study of Japan's previous contacts with Western ships and what could be known about the Japanese hierarchical culture. He was met by representatives of the Tokugawa Shogunate who told him to proceed to Nagasaki where there was limited trade with the Netherlands and which was the only Japanese port open to foreigners at that time. Perry refused to leave and demanded permission to present a letter from President Millard Fillmore threatening force if he was denied. Perry ordered his ships to attack several buildings around the harbor to demonstrate US naval power. The Commodore was fully prepared for more hostilities if his negotiations with the Japanese failed and threatened to use unrestrained fire if the Japanese refused to negotiate. He sent two white flags to them telling them to hoist the flags when they wished a bombardment from his fleet to cease and to surrender. Perry's ships were equipped with new Paixhans shell guns capable of wreaking great destruction with every shell. The Japanese military forces could not resist Perry's modern weaponry; the term "Black Ships" in Japan would later come to symbolize a threat imposed by Western technology. Perry returned in February 1854 with twice as many ships finding that the delegates had prepared a treaty embodying virtually all the demands in Fillmore's letter. Perry signed the Convention of Kanagawa on March 31 1854 and departed mistakenly believing the agreement had been made with imperial representatives. The agreement was made with the Shogun the de facto ruler of Japan. On his way to Japan Perry anchored off Keelung in Formosa modern day Taiwan for ten days. Perry and crew members landed on Formosa and investigated the potential of mining the coal deposits in that area. He emphasized in his reports that Formosa provided a convenient mid-way trade location. Formosa was also very defensible. It could serve as a base for exploration as Cuba had done for the Spanish in the Americas. Occupying Formosa could help the US to counter European monopolization of the major trade routes. President Franklin Pierce declined the suggestion remarking such a remote possession would be an unnecessary drain of resources and that he would be unlikely to receive the consent of Congress. When Perry returned to the United States in 1855 Congress voted to grant him a reward of $20000 in appreciation of his work in Japan. Perry used part of this money to prepare and publish a report on the expedition in three volumes titled Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan. He was also advanced to the grade of rear-admiral on the retired list when his health began to fail as a reward for his services in the Far East.<br /><br /><strong>Condition: </strong>Wear and fading to cloth large map repair at with archival tape several others with stub tears and splitting to folds; light foxing spine ends rubbed with a few with chips corners bumped and rubbed through.
