‎MACGILLIVRAY, W.‎

‎The Life, Travels and Researches of Baron Humboldt; with a Narrative of Humboldt's most Recent Researches including his Celebrated Journey to the Ural Mountains, and the Caspian Sea, etc.‎

‎12mo [18 x 12 cm]; 418 pages, engraved plates including frontis and views which are new to this edition, where the illustrations list reflects the earlier edition. original blind-stamped blue cloth, gilt spine title lettering and vignette, lightly rubbed, small erasure on endpaper, clean with the original tissue guards for the plates, very good copy. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. "Scientist, explorer and diplomat, Humboldt was the last truly Universal Man. He left his name on the maps of five continents, over a thousand places in the world are named after him and even a crater on the moon bears his name." (Douglas Botting). Humboldt explored little known South America, climbing Chimborazo, the highest known mountain, which made him world famous. He collected a mass of data, which laid the foundation of modern physical geography and established the concept of plant geography. On his return he visited the United States where he became friend and advisor to President Jefferson. Later in his life, in his sixties, he traveled to Siberia, the Ural mountains, Caspian Sea, etc. Macgillivray's book was first published in 1832 but this edition was brought up-to-date with Humboldt's later explorations to the period of his death, and extra material added.‎

‎Madox Richard 1546 1583; edited by Elizabeth Story Donno‎

‎An Elizabethan in 1582: The Diary of Richard Madox Fellow of All Souls‎

‎xvi365 pages with frontispiece five maps one folding plates appendixes and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship <i>Victoria</i> to front cover in original jacket. Second series volume 147. First edition.<br /><br />Chronicling in the main the initial albeit abortive attempt to establish a spice trade in the Moluccas the Diary of Richard Modox Fellow of All Souls covers a single calendar year. Since five months of that year were to pass before the flotilla of four ships rounded the Lizard the Diary also records its author's winding up of his affairs at Oxford his stay in London following upon the problems and false starts incident to departure and the slow passage from Blackwall to Southampton aboard the <i>Edward Bonaventure</i> with the many visits to and from persons interested in the enterprise. The last seven months record the tensions and rivalries that developed in the command the long sojourn at Sierra Leon and an account of the subsequent passage to Sao Vincent Brazil where they were to encounter three Spanish ships and in the words of Madox's fellow chaplain have "one verye hott breakfaste fyghting." As a circumstantial document the Diary provides diverse information ranging from details of the Oxford and London scenes and the organizational aspects of the trading venture to the customs of the natives of Sierra Leon including the earliest record of an African Language together with drawings of the flora and fauna. As a personal document it includes mordant comments on many individuals particularly those participants in the venture who wish to turn to piracy. From mid-September on when Richard Madox became <i>personal non grata</i> to his "captaine-General" they are concealed by cipher and pseudonyms but they are made intelligible through the clues he supplies - marginalia cross-referencing and an index to incriminating passages. Inhibited from keeping the official record of the voyage as members of the Privy Council had appointed him to do Madox seems to have used this portion of his Diary as a substitute for it. Appendices include both his official record though it is extant only up until 21 July and the complementary diary of his fellow chaplain John Walker. Taken in conjunction with materials already printed these several texts complete the documenting of the first attempt on the part of the English to establish a spice trade an attempt that antedated the chartering of the East Indian Company by nearly twenty years.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Jacket spine ends rubbed and lightly chipped some rubbing to extremities else a very good copy in like jacket.

‎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
