‎Wilkes Expedition: Spofford AR. A. R.‎

‎AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED BY A.R. SPOFFORD AS LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS DETAILING THE EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WILKES NARRATIVE AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE SETS‎

‎N.p. likely Washington D.C. 1864. 2pp. on plain paper 8 x 5 inches. Minor toning. Very good. An important letter for book historians those interested in the early history of the Library of Congress and particularly those enamored of the Wilkes Expedition. Here A.R. Spofford legendary Librarian of Congress from 1864 to 1897 who transformed the library from a quiet reference outlet into a national institution that served the American public details the specifics regarding the printing of the Wilkes expedition narrative by the United States government. Spofford begins by referring to the Wilkes narrative as "By far the most costly and expensive publication ever undertaken by the Government." He continues: "This vast undertaking though strictly limited to an edition of 100 copies & never completed cost the Government from first to last $242460.55. This enormous sum was of course exclusive of any expenses of the Expedition itself & covered 1st The labor of many scientific experts in various fields - 2d The finest engravings which the art of the day could supply - 3d The choicest paper of heavy satin finish - 4th The handpress work of the best printers - 5th Binding in the heaviest & most durable of turkey morocco full gilt." Spofford then proceeds to detail how many volumes were printed how many atlases up to 1861 and then breaks down the distribution of the completed sets including the knowledge that thirty-four sets went to foreign governments. A fascinating source of information on the original printing and distribution of an important American expedition. unknown‎

‎Wilkes Expedition: Robinson HR. publisher H. R.‎

‎AN EXPLORING EXPEDITION ON THE CANAL STREET PLAN. THE EXPLORING EXPEDITION AT THE SOUTH POLE WAITING FOR STORES‎

‎New York: H.R. Robinson 1838. Lithograph 12 1/2 x 20 inches. Light foxing and soiling. Two short closed tears in the right edge and left edge of the sheet. Very good. A very rare print satirizing the recently undertaken United States Exploring Expedition commanded by Charles Wilkes. The Expedition departed in August 1838 and Robinson's eagerness to satirize it and the politicians who supported it is ample evidence that the endeavor was not universally popular. The print is made up of three humorous vignettes. "The upper left is Charles Wilkes in a rowboat with an oarsman and two members of the scientific corps who make observations with a transit or telescope and draw fauna. The upper right image depicts a group of sailors and Charles Wilkes huddled together on the snow surrounded by a ring of polar bears and an upturned rowboat foxes penguins and a campfire. They are flying an inverted U.S. flag to signal distress. At the bottom between the two titles is an inset of the three Navy Commissioners Isaac Chaucey Charles Morris and Alexander S. Wadsworth at sea in a bowl. They are framed by a shield surmounted by a jester and flanked on the left by a man in naval uniform James Kirke Paulding Secretary of the Navy and a sailor with a sad expression on the right" - Harry T. Peters Collection at the Smithsonian Institution online catalogue. The print is "Respectfully inscribed to the Secretaries of the Navy and Army and the Board of Navy Commissioners by their humble servant Robinson Crusoe." <br> <br> Not in Reilly's catalogue of American political prints in the Library of Congress though OCLC does locate a copy at the Library of Congress. That is one of two copies listed on OCLC the other copy is at the American Antiquarian Society. There are also copies in the Peters collection at the Smithsonian and at the Australian National Maritime Museum. OCLC 299947747 752795742. Herman J. Viola ed.

Quarto 11 3/4" x 9 1/2" with new spine in six compartment with red label in gilt over original decorative blind stamped calf boards. Ferguson 329; Sabin 104.633 First edition first printing.<br /><br />Captain James Wilson 1760–1814 brought the first British missionaries to Tahiti on ship Duff in 1797. Wilson was a deeply religious man. The missionaries he brought were from the London Missionary Society. There were thirty men six women and three children. Wilson on the Duff also explored and visited many islands in the Pacific some of which had never had any recorded visit by a European. Among these the most important are Mangareva in the Gambier Islands and Pukarua in the Tuamotus. Duff Paid a visit as a missionary ship to Tahiti during 1796 as a result Missionary Society has first been established in Tahiti. Three years after the establishment the directors of the Society appointed a committee to consider a suitable memorial for presentation to Wilson for his services in helping to establish the first mission in the South Seas.<br /><br />Wilson fought with the British army during the American War of independence and then served nine years with the East India company. While in India he was captured by Hyder Ali and after a daring bid for escape was imprisoned in the black hole of Seringapatam. After his release he continued service as a captain and despite illness and further dangerous missions accumulated sufficientr esources to retire. throughout it all Wilson remained fast in his irreligious opinions. While living in England with his niece however he was converted to an evangelical faith. he felt called to volunteer for missionary service after reading the Evangelical Magazine. Haweis did not know Wilson before receiving a letter volunteering his services in the Pacific. his skills and newfound devotion seemed perfectly suited to the situation and Haweis saw him as "God's man." the Duff arrived at Tahiti on march 5 1797. the settlement at Tahiti of twenty of the missionaries five of them with wives and two children gives further examples of the role of the missionary captain. A pattern of intercourse had already been established by other voyagers according to which the captain of a vessel would take the leading role in meetings. It is therefore not surprising that the focus of the chapter describing the arrival is on meetings between significant island figures and Captain Wilson. For example Manemane a "high priest" Frommo'orea sought Wilson as a tayo or friend not Jefferson the president of the missionaries.<br /><br />The official account of the first mission appeared in 1799 under the lengthy title A missionary voyage to the southern Pacific Ocean performed in the years 1796 1797 1798 in the ship Duff commanded by Captain James Wilson compiled from thejournals of the officers and the missionaries; and illustrated with maps charts and views drawn by Mr William Wilson.it was placed firmly within the tradition of the voyages ofdiscovery by an introduction compiledby samuel Greatheed that described previous european contacts with the islands and anappendix "including details never before published of the natural and civil state of otaheite." the main narrative was taken from Wilson's journal with additions from his son and a journal kept by the missionaries during the period when the Duff was away from Tahiti at Tonga. Wilson dominated the events recorded in the narrative.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some offset toning from maps occasional foxing water mark to upper margin on some leaves two leaves miss-bound at back re-backed with contemporary blind stamped calf boards.
