Perry Matthew Calbraith 1794 1858
Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan Performed in the Years 1852 1853 and 1854 under the Command of Commodore M.C. Perry United States Navy by Order of the Government of the United States
3 volumes: xvii1537 pages with 90 lithographs plates including the usual expunged bathing plate many in color including 3 "facsimiles" of Japanese woodblock prints 2 folding; 6 maps and charts 2 folding; 79 woodcuts in the text; 2414414-1xi pages with 4 color lithographs of Chinese scenes; 2 uncolored natural history engraved plates; 6 hand-colored lithographs of birds; 10 hand-colored steel-engravings of fish; 5 lithographs of shells 2 hand-colored; 16 diagram plates of winds and currents; 14-page facsimile of Japanese language version of the U.S.-Japan treaty; 17 folding charts on 16 sheets; numerous woodcuts in the text; xliii17051 pages woodcut star charts throughout. Volume III titled "United States Japan Expedition. Observations on the zodiacal light from April 2 1853 to April 22 1855 . by Rev. George Jones A.M. chaplain United States Navy". Quarto 11½ x8 ¾" bound in the original blind stamped cloth. Volume 1 rebacked with the original cloth spine laid down. Hill 1332; Sabin 30968 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 />Condition:<br /><br />Wear and fading to cloth first volume rebacked; large map detached several others with stub tears and splitting to folds; light foxing else good to very good.

Tokyo 1855. 24 1/2 x 16 inches. Matted. Old fold lines some minor wear and soiling. Near fine. Large wood block print comprised of two sheets showing the disposition of the Japanese soldiers and ships in preparation for the arrival of Commodore Perry's American fleet seen sailing into Tokyo harbor at the right side of the image. The top third of the print is comprised of text in Japanese characters. Three large American ships dominate the right side of the print while several smaller boats dot the rest of the harbor. The whole is dotted with Japanese characters denoting various people and places around the harbor. Perry first arrived in Japan on July 8 1853 with a fleet of four ships flying his pennant on the steam frigate Susquehanna. This first visit lasted ten days and culminated on July 14 with Perry's presentation of a letter from the President of the United States to the Japanese commissioners. Perry then absented himself for seven months returning on February 11 1854 for a stay of over four months. He negotiated a treaty opening Japan to trade with the western world providing for a U.S. consul in Japan and protecting visiting ships and crews. Perry's visit to Japan remains one of the most important events in the diplomatic history between western and eastern nations. A handsome print showing the Japanese side of this important historic event. unknown

THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE SACRAMENTS; AND OTHER RITES AND CEREMONIES OF THE CHURCH ACCORDING TO THE USE OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
New York: New York Bible and Common Prayer Book Society 1848. xx5801092pp. Contemporary black morocco gilt rebacked to style. Corners lightly worn. Contemporary ownership inscription on front fly leaf. Internally clean. Very good. Self-styled "Standard Edition." This copy of the BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER is notable for its provenance. The inscription on the front fly leaf reads: "Edmund C. Bittinger U.S. Steamship Susquehanna June 7th 1851. On Commodore Perry's Expedition to Japan." Edmund C. Bittinger 1819-89 was a U.S. Naval Chaplain commissioned in 1850. The U.S.S. Susquehanna also commissioned in 1850 was Perry's flagship for the expedition that opened Japan to the West. In 1852 Perry was appointed head of a naval expedition charged with inducing the Japanese government to establish diplomatic relations with the United States. In 1853 the Japanese were finally forced to accept a treaty demanding better treatment of shipwrecked seamen and which allowed American ships to dock at two Japanese ports to purchase fuel and supplies. The most important result of the voyage however was that Japan was opened to the West for the first time in history and ushered in to the modern era. This prayer book made the journey from the U.S. to the unknown East with that historic expedition. A wonderful association. New York Bible and Common Prayer Book Society unknown

Mawson and the Ice Men of the Heroic Age: Scott Shackleton and Amundsen
Heinemann Australia 2012. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Good. 737 pages. Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine has minimal reading creases. Pages are reasonably tanned. The story of Australia's most famous polar explorer and the giants from the heroic age of polar exploration- Scott Amundsen and Shackleton. Sir Douglas Mawson born in 1882 and knighted in 1914 remains Australia's greatest Antarctic explorer. On 2 December 1911 his Australasian Antarctic Expedition left Hobart to explore the virgin frozen coastline below Australia 2000 miles of which had never felt the tread of a human foot. He was on his way to fulfil a national dream he had first conceived three years earlier while on his first trip to the frozen continent on the Nimrod expedition under the leadership of the charismatic Anglo-Irishman Sir Ernest Shackleton. Even as Mawson and his men were approaching Antarctica two other famous Antarctic explorers were already engaged in nothing less than a race to become the first men to reach the South Pole. While Roald Amundsen of Norway with his small team was racing with dogs along one route England's legendary Scott of the Antarctic with his far larger team was relying primarily on ponies and man-hauling' to get there along another. As Mawson and his men make their home on the windiest place on earth and prepare for their own record-breaking treks with devastating drama to be their constant companion. the stories of Amundsen and Scott similarly play out.
