Anson George 1697 1762
A Voyage round the World in the Years MCXL I II III IV
24548 pages with three folding engraved maps present southern part of South America; part of the Pacific Ocean and the track of the Centurion round the world. Octavo 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" bound in full leather with five raised spine bands with red label to spine in gilt lettering with decorative blind-stamped ruled edges. Compiled from papers and other materials of the Right Honourable George Lord Anson and published under his direction by Richard Walter M.A. Chaplain of his Majesty's Ship the Centurion in that expedition. Hill I pp 317-138. Third edition.<br /><br />"This is the official account of Anson's voyage. England at war with Spain in 1739 equipped eight ships under the command of George Anson to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America for the purpose of cutting off Spanish supplies of wealth from the Pacific area. Lord Anson who was a friend and patron of Benjamin Robins after returning from the voyage around the world in the Centurion appears to have entrusted to Robins for revision the account of the voyage which had been compiled from the journals by his chaplain Richard Walter. It is probable that Robins revised and edited the work wrote an introduction and added dissertations." Hill. Perhaps the most popular account of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century. Anson's account of harrying the Spanish of South America and the taking of the Manilla galleon with treasure with a contemporary value of $800000 and his circumnavigation has long enjoyed a distinguished place as a masterpiece in descriptive travel.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some small closed tears at the edges of the maps. Rebound in tooled leather with raised bands. Over all a very good to fine copy. John and Paul Knapton hardcover books

Apsley Members of the Terra Nova Expedition, Scott, RF., Cherry-Garrard, Apsley (Editor) Wilson, E (illustrator) R. F.
SOUTH POLAR TIMES VOLUME III. Terra Nova Expedition
Smith Elder London 1914. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. 1st Edition; This copy is 243 of a limited edition of 350. Volume 1 & 2 were Scott's 1st "Discovery Expedition" whilst this Volume 3 is from his 2nd "Terra Nova" Expedition. Although often sold as a set Volume 3 is a complete book in its' own right. The original broadsheets were produced at Cape Evans to amuse the men on the 'Terra Nova' Expedition. It was designed to be published separately from Volume 1 & 2. Cherry-Garrard was the Editor and typist and Wilson the main illustrator. The 1st issue was presented on Midwinter's Day 1911 the 2nd on 8th September and the 3rd on 15th October. Content included poetry humorous articles illustrations of sledging flags and caricatures. Includes Wilson's moving poem 'The Barrier Silence' and Ponting's hilarious tongue twister 'The Sleeping Bag'. Original covers all page edges gilt. Copiously illustrated drawings in the text and full-page plates from sketches and paintings by E. Wilson H. Ponting and others. Ex Library with stamps on some pages Croydon Library. Spine shaken gutta-percha binding delicate some pages loose as is usual with the 1st Edition. This copy is still bright and handleable with care. The weight of the text blocks which would tax even traditionally bound volumes has proved too much for the gutta percha which is now mostly perished. The South Polar Times was a magazine written and printed by the members of Antarctic Expeditions during the various voyages they undertook. In 1907 the batches were printed and issued in some 250 copies. The South Polar Times form what is perhaps the most personal of the printed documents to have come out of that most remarkable of periods of Antarctic adventures revealing so many often contradictory aspects of these men's various personalities. It contains a diary of the events of each month a record of the proceedings of the local Debating Society a monthly acrostic humorous notes besides articles of a more solid nature as well as stories sketches of various kinds and poems. One of the corner stones of an Antarctic collection. PLEASE NOTE: This book will incur extra postage and insurance charges. Please contact us for a quote. Limited Edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 5 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Antarctic; 1900-1920; Exploration. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 40. .

Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and decorative gilt pictorial of the ship <i>Victoria</i> to front cover in original jacket. Annotated by Richard Pankhurst. Second series volume 174. First edition.<br /><br />Remedius Prutky Franciscan missionary was in 1751 appointed vice-prefect of a mission sent to Ethiopia in response to an invitation by the then emperor Iyasu II; with two colleagues he left Cairo in August and reached Massawa in November. After some delay he was summoned to Gondar which he reached in March and largely by his expertise in medicine began to make friends among the court and the clergy. But the Coptic archbishop at Gondar soon prevailed upon the weak Emperor to expel the missionaries who thus spent only nine months in Gondar and seventeen months in the country altogether. From Masawa the missionaries went to Mocha and thence by courtesy of a French ship to Pondicherry where Dupleix the governor sent them in October 1752 to L'Orient in France. From there they returned to Rome by way of the Canal du Midi and Marseilles. From Rome Prutky recounts his journey to his home in Bohemia his interview with Maria Theresa and her consort and his journey back to Egypt via Leghorn. He then tells of his voyage back to Rome from Alexandria through the Archipelago. The Ethiopian adventure forms the bulk of the whole and in view of the scarcity of information about that country is the underlying reason for the translation of the book. But Prutky's account of Mocha and the European trading factories there as well as his description of India and Ceylon as seen during six weeks in Pondicherry is of no small interest as is his account of Dupleix's recently completed palace destoryed in 1761. Both his voyage from Mocha to Pondicherry and his much longer voyage from Pondicherry to France are given added interest by the inclusion of the daily ship's log. The ends with a sad account not written by Prutky of his final task as Prefect of the mission in St Petersburg from 1766 to 1769 ending with his expulsion from Russia by Catherine the Great and his death in Florence immediately afterwards.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some light rubbing to jacket extremities else a better than very good copy in like jacket.
