Forster, John Reinhold (1729-1798)
The Resolution Journal of Johann Reinhold Forster 1772-1775
4 Volumes: xvii182 pages with frontispiece 5 plates some folding and 1 folding map: viii183-370 pages with 8 plates and 5 maps; vii371-553 pages with 9 plates and 5 maps; vii555-831 pages with 9 plates 6 maps appendixes and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Second Series volumes 152-155 and 139. First edition. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the literary and scientific achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster the author of this journal J R Forster Principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage was nevertheless recognized by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late eighteenth century. Despite Forster's diverse prodigious and sometimes brilliant output the constant circumstances of his career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas with the result that those many longer more epoch-making and polished works which would have established him as the leading pioneering comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific and a most competent student in those disciplines of Africa North America and Europe especially Russia have remained only as obscure and seldom-used manuscripts. After Forster's death in 1798 his books and manuscripts - 'there has never been . a private library in Germany to compare with it.' wrote the royal Librarian in Berlin - were sold to the royal Library of the King of Prussia later the Prussian State Library. Among the numerous Forster 'treasurers' deposited in Berlin as his six volume journal in the Resolution. As the journal o a highly literate landsman-at-sea it offers many new typically unrestrained insights into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on this the most scientific and epic of Cook's three voyages. It is also the fundament upon which George Forster wrote his classic travelogue A Voyage round the World 1777 that humane influence - in many translations - upon science and belles-lettres. It is too the key to the science and anthropology of this voyage the central document to understanding the naturalists' day-to-day work and finds. Set alongside the journals of Cook and his other principals - which it often surpasses intellectually and empirically - anthropologists ethnolinguists geographers geologists botanists zoologists especially ornithologists and medical and literary historians as well as students of James Cook and the eighteenth century mind will find much new observation and theory. For the two Forsters fashioned forces to influence Alexander von Humboldt and foretell Charles Darwin. Condition: Jackets with light edge wear spine ends rubbed else very good to fine in like jacket.

Being on general Rochambeau's staff for the duration of the war Chastellux acted as the principal liaison officer between the French commander in chief and George Washington. However the Chevalier de Chastellux was also widely recognized at the time of his campaigns in America as a highly talented man of letters and a member of the French Academy. After arriving in America in July 1780 Chastellux participated to the American Revolutionary War as Major General in the French expeditionary force led by general Rochambeau. During the following year he was third in command of the French forces engaged at the decisive Siege of Yorktown in 1781 where the British were ultimately defeated. Major General de Chastellux was fluent in English and with his strong ideological support of the American cause he served the alliance well. During the latter part of the campaign he was the principal liaison officer between George Washington and French general Rochambeau. Thereafter Chastellux remained a personal friend of George Washington for life. Furthermore the College of William and Mary and the University of Pennsylvania also awarded Chastellux with honorary degrees. After his return to France Chastellux also remained in contact with Thomas Jefferson now the American representative in Paris whom he had previously visited on his Virginia estate at Monticello.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Title page clipped at top corner first fold out map repaired map edges repaired hinges repaired previous owner's names on front paste downs and content pages else a good set.</p> Printed for Messrs.

Franklin, John, Captain RN, FRS (and Commander of the Expedition) R N F R S
Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea in the Years 1819 20 21 and 22
Vol. I has a large partial coloured map as frontis and Vol. II has 3 large folding maps in the rear The record of Franklin's first Arctic expedition fraught with hardship and tragedy constitutes one of the classics in the annals of travel literature. In all the party travelled 5500 miles overland and with the aid of canoes exploring the territory from York Factory to the mouth of the Coppermine River on Coronation Gulf east along the Arctic coast as far as Point Turnagain and back across the Barren Lands. Provisions were poor and scant and on the return journey many crew members died of cold and starvation; the young naval artist Robert Hood was murdered and another executed for the crime. The work also includes accounts by Richardson and Back of the last leg of the desperate journey across the Barren Lands. This edition omits the appendix on the natural history of the region and scientific observations on the aurora borealis and the magnetic needle. Arctic Bib. 5195. Sabin 25625. TPL 1249.

<p>2 volumes. xxi472 pages with three maps two folding and one double page figures and 13 plates; iv452 pages with 10 plates some folding tables and appendices. Octavo 9 1/2" x 5 1/2" Bound in contemporary half leather with marbled boards and gilt lettering to spine. Ferguson 1418; Hill I p. 19; Howes B309; Lada-Mocarski 95; Sabin 4347. Second edition published after quarto edition of the same year.<br /><br />Frederick William Beechey 17 February 1796 – 29 November 1856 was an English naval officer and geographer. He was the son of Sir William Beechey RA and was born in London. 1806 he entered the Royal Navy and saw active service during the wars with France and America. In 1818 he served under Lieutenant afterwards Sir John Franklin in David Buchan's Arctic expedition of which at a later period he published a narrative. In the following year he accompanied Lieutenant W. E. Parry in HMS Hecla. In 1821 he took part in the survey of the Mediterranean coast of Africa under the direction of Captain afterwards Admiral William Henry Smyth. He and his brother Henry William Beechey made an overland survey of this coast and published a full account of their work in 1828 under the title of Proceedings of the Expedition to Explore the Northern Coast of Africa from Tripoly Eastward in 1821-1822. In 1825 Beechey was appointed to command the HMS Blossom. His task was to explore the Bering Strait in concert with Franklin and Parry operating from the east. In the summer of 1826 he passed the strait and a barge from his ship reached 71°23'31" N. and 156°21'30" W. near Point Barrow which he named a point only 146 miles west of that reached by Franklin's expedition from the Mackenzie river. The whole voyage lasted more than three years and in the course of it Beechey discovered several islands in the Pacific and an excellent harbor near Cape Prince of Wales. In July 1826 he named the three islands in the Bering Strait. Two were the Diomede Islands that Vitus Bering had named in 1728: "Ratmanoff Island" Big Diomede and "Krusenstern Island" Little Diomede. Beechey called the uninhabited third islet "Fairway Rock" which is still its contemporary name. One of his crew Petty Officer John Bechervaise gave a detailed account of the voyage in his Thirty Six Years if a Seafaring Life by an Old Quartermaster published privately in 1839. In 1831 there appeared his Narrative of a Voyage to the Pacific and Beering's Strait to Co-operate with the Polar Expeditions 1825-1828. In 1835 and the following year Captain Beechey was employed on the coast survey of South America and from 1837 to 1847 carried on the same work along the Irish coasts. He was appointed in 1850 to preside over the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. In 1854 he was made rear-admiral and in the following year was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society. Beechey Island where Sir John Franklin wintered is named after him.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Name neatly excised from head corner of titles small inconspicuous stamp to last pages.

FREZIER, Amedee Francois (1682-1773)
Relation du voyage de la mer du Sud aux côtes du Chily et du Perou fait pendant les années 1712 1713 & 1714 : dediée à S.A.R. Monseigneur le Duc D'Orleans Regent du Royaume / par M. Frézier ingenieur ordinaire du roy ; ouvrage enrichi de quantité de planches en taille-douce
Paris: chez Jean-Geoffroy Nyon quay de Conti au coin de la rue Guenegaud au Nom de Jesus Etienne Ganeau rue Saint Jacques aux Armes de Dombes vis-à-vis la Fontaine de S. Severin Jacque Quillau imprimeur-juré-libraire rue Galande aux Armes de l'Université 1716. First Edition. A defective first edition missing one map and one plate of this classic in the literature of Pacific voyages of exploration. 4to: xiv2982pp with 35 of 37 maps plans and plates 18 of which are folding; ornamental engraved vignettes and woodcut musical notation in the text never bound in were the map of Détroit de le Maire no. v and the plate of Indiens en habits simples no. ix; plate xvi was bound in twice. Contemporary calf spine richly gilt in six compartments brown leather lettering piece gilt "Caissotti" in gilt script on upper board all edges stained red marbled end papers red silk page marker. An exceptional wide-margined copy text maps and plates fresh and clean marred only by a stain in the gutter of first three leaves. Provenance: copper-engraved bookplate "Il Cittadino / Carlo Giac. Caissotti." Sabin 25924. Borba de Moraes 328. Hill p. 115. Leclerc 1736. Palau 94964. Gibson's Library p. 128. Item #BB0841. Frézier set sail in 1712 with a French commission to assess the strength of Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast and to revise existing charts. According to Hill he "brought back information of considerable geographical and scientific value" to later navigators and his account is today appreciated for its keen observations of the customs commerce and natural history—including the cotton and strawberry plants—of Chile Peru and Tierra del Fuego. It's interesting to note that Frezier's surname was itself derived from fraise the French for strawberry. The chapters on Indian and Creole life include descriptions of costume and architecture as well as musical instruments. The folding plans of cities visited are often enhanced by panoramic views as in the case of Callao Concepción Valparaíso La Serena Salvador de Bahía and Angra Azores. Amongst the most important plates are the general map of the expedition the Strait of Lemaire Valdivia Bahía de an Vicente Santiago de Chile Lima and Bahía de Todos los Santos. An immediate success the work was soon translated into English and German and republished several times in the eighteenth century. N. B.
