(RUSSIA - EXPLORATION IN CHINA AND ALASKA). COXE, WILLIAM
ACCOUNT OF THE RUSSIAN DISCOVERIES BETWEEN ASIA AND AMERICA TO WHICH ARE ADDED THE CONQUEST OF SIBERIA AND THE HISTORY OF THE TRANSACTIONS AND COMMERCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA
London: Cadell and Davies 1803. ONE OF 60 LARGE PAPER COPIES of the "considerably enlarged" Fourth Edition ours a variant retaining the date of 1803 on the title-page rather than 1804. 330 x 252 mm. 13 x 9 7/8". xviii 4 xix 1 380 pp. Two leaves usually bound at the end and containing the "List of Principle Books Referred to in this Work" and "Works by the same Author" bound between pp. xvii and xix here. <br/> VERY FINE CONTEMPORARY SPRINKLED CALF raised bands flanked by plain and decorative gilt rules and chain roll spine panels with star centerpiece red morocco label marbled endpapers. With six engravings: five maps two folding and one view. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Marcus Gage; title page with ink inscription at head: "M. Gage's Book got from Mr. Asperne London April 15th 1805." Lada-Mocarski 29 note; Howes C-834; Sabin 17309; Streeter VI 3501; Cordier Bibliotheca Sinica pp. 2447-48. ◆Small chip to tail of spine corners a bit rubbed flyleaves somewhat foxed the usual minor foxing to plates and a bit of offsetting to adjacent pages otherwise A VERY FINE COPY OF AN ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE EDITION clean and fresh internally with vast margins and the binding firm lustrous and with only very minor wear to the joints.<br/> <br/> This is an extremely well-preserved copy in an elegant contemporary binding of the most sought-after edition of a key source on Russian exploration and that country's efforts to expand trade with China and Alaska. Eminent historian William Coxe 1747-1828 studied the voyages and exploration by Bering and others to the regions of Kamchatka the Aleutian Islands and Siberia to prepare this overview of the geography and cultures of the lands between Russia and North America and to analyze the economic potential of trade--particularly in furs--with the region. According to Sabin "Mr. Coxe's book contains many curious and important facts with respect to the various attempts of the Russians to open a communication to the New World." The 1780 first edition of this work covered Russian voyages of discovery between 1740 and 1769; the 1787 third edition added a supplement comparing these explorations to those of Captains Cook and Clerke. Our much-expanded fourth edition gives in the words of the Preface "a complete series of voyages from 1711 to 1792 comprising all that is known on the subject." Some of this supplementary information was gleaned from earlier accounts by German historians G. F. Muller and P. S. Pallas and some from Coxe's own travels in Russia. According to Lada-Mocarski Coxe "also succeeded in securing additional material: for instance the narrative and maps of Krenitzin and Levashev's 'secret' expedition the first official Russian government expedition since Bering's 2nd expedition of 1741. He was able to secure this particular information not widely known at the time even in Russia from Dr. Wm. Robertson who in turn obtained it through his friend Dr. Rogerson first physician to the Empress Catherine II. . . . In view of the above additions one should consider the fourth edition of 1803 as the most desirable." He concludes: "Coxe's work particularly the fourth edition is a result of contemporary and authoritative sources translated into English not to be overlooked by scholars and collectors alike." There are also distinct aesthetic advantages to the present Large Paper version over the octavo printing. Not only is the type beautifully re-set and laid out as well as surrounded by vast margins but as Streeter notes there are two charts here that are not included in the octavo issue of 1803. The original owner of this volume Marcus Gage is known to have assembled a substantial library of beautifully cared-for books on travel and discovery see for example "Exploration & Discovery 1576-1939 Books from the Library of Franklin Brooke-Hitching" passim. Gage notes that he got the book from "Mr. Asperne"—no doubt the London publisher and bookseller James Asperne 1757-1820. ABPC and RBH find just four other Large Paper copies at auction in the past 45 years two of which had condition issues. One could wait a considerable time to find a copy as attractive and desirable as the present one. Cadell and Davies unknown

[China]. [Travel]. Goodnow, Minnie
Typed Letter Signed Written to Missionary Friends Reporting on Travels in China Including Visits to Hospitals
Peiping China: June 4 1936. About very good. 2pp. Folio. Old fold lines minor wear a few contemporary annotations. Letter written by a nurse visiting China relating her itinerary in China which includes numerous trips to local hospitals and leper colonies. Minnie Goodnow was a registered nurse who served in France during the Great War. After her return to the U.S. she was a nursing administrator in several hospitals before embarking on this journey. She writes: "I am having a trip that is no less than wonderful. I had three objectives in mind for it -- to see the world or some bits of it; to see hospitals and learn something of what was being done in nursing education in several lands; and to see something of missions at first hand. I'm doing all three of them -- superficially but with great profit to myself. . I went up to Chiengmai with some of the mission people staid with Dr. and Mrs. Cort saw the wonderful leper colony and had a marvellous time. Here in China I have had a steady diet of missions and hospitals and done sight-seeing too." She goes on to relate her itinerary which includes trips to Shanghai Nanking Hankow and Changsha as well as a stay at a Buddhist monastery -- "Can you fancy the thrill I got from spending the night on top of a sacred mountain in a Buddhist monastery in the heart of China!"<br /> <br /> She continues: "Miss Stephenson went with me to two 'country' hospitals -- to complete -- or add to -- my education! They were those at Siaokan and Tiean and were most interesting. I also saw the old-fashioned leper asylum at Tiean which is on the way to becoming new-fashioned. Then I came here to Peiping where I have been for nearly four weeks. I am giving a short course in History of Nursing and doing sight-seeing also meeting people." She tells her reader that after China she plans to travel on to Indian with a similar mission. An interesting look into the culture of American travel and mission work in China in the 1930s.
