BEVAN, Theodore F.
Discovery of Two New Rivers in British New Guinea.
13 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 8.5 x 9.5 inches (22 x 24cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Bevan describes several expeditions that he led along the south coast of Papua from 1884-1887. Bevan explored the coastline of British New Guinea and the descriptive map depicts his most amazing routes and discoveries. This is a fascinating account which relates in detail the authors experiences... "The Victory left Thursday Island, Torres Straits, and entered the Aird river at Cape Blackwood. At Attack Point a hostile body of sixty nude Papuans contested our entrance to the great river. These savages, after some hesitation, bore down upon us, alternately splashing the water into the air and beating time with their paddles against the sides of their canoes, also shooting volleys of arrows at us both before and after coming within range. This attack was decided in our favour, without any bloodshed, by a judicious use of the steam-whistle and a few shots fired high and wide. These harmless measures caused the natives to take as one man to the water, prior to re-embarking and paddling off crestfallen home. They were painted, decorated with feather head-dresses in addition to other ornaments, and wore white groin shells to partly conceal their nudity. They were above the middle height, of great muscular development, and of a dark bronze colour..." A Most Illuminating Account on an Extraordinary Journey into Barbarous New Guinea, Accompanied by a Spectacular Colour Map of Jubille and Philip Rivers and their Tributaries, Showing the Discoveries Made by the "Victory" Expedition under the Command of Mr. Theodore Bevan, with an Inset Showing New Guinea.

The second half of the book describes his stay on several Pacific islands including Tonga, Haapai, Fiji, etc and is remarkable for its explicit illustrations of cannibals, including one entitled 'Cannibals dragging prisoners to the ovens', two others showing cannibals slaughtering their victims. The author didn't seem too concerned about becoming a victim. There have been only two copies at auction in the last 25 years, the last at Sotheby's in 1997 selling at US$782, although it wasn't in as good a condition as this copy.

Bonham's Magazine - Sam Willis
Sir Francis Drake - Sailor of the Century
72 pages containing a 5 page article on Sir Francis Drake. Merchant, pirate and hero of the Armada, Sir Francis Drake was no mere man of his time. As Sam Willis argues, Drake defined the era It is one of the great storeys of British history and, sadly, one that sensible historians routinely disparage: that, as his nation faced existential peril at the hands of its mortal enemy, Sir Francis Drake (c.1540-1596) chose first to finish the game he was playing. The tale is well known, but bears retelling.
