About The Author : Charles Masson (1800–1853) was the pseudonym of James Lewis, a British East India Company soldier and reporter, independent explorer and pioneering archaeologist and numismatist. He was the first European to discover the ruins of Harappa near Sahiwal in Punjab, now in Pakistan. He found the ancient city of Alexandria in the Caucasus (modern Begram) dating to Alexander the Great. He unlocked the now-extinct language known as Kharoshthi. At the time of the 1838 First Anglo-Afghan War, Masson had spent more time in Afghanistan then any other British subject. He was a minority voice critical of the invasion and accurately predicted it would be a disaster for the Empire. The first book-length biography was published in 2021, Alexandria: The Quest for the Lost City, by Edmund Richardson. In 1827, while stationed at Agra, he and a colleague deserted and traveled through parts of the Punjab that were under British control at that time. At Ahmadpur, they were rescued by Josiah Harlan and commissioned as mounted orderlies in his expedition to overthrow the regime in Kabul, Afghanistan. Not long afterward, near Dera Ghazi Khan, he deserted Harlan The Title 'Narrative of various journeys in Balochistan, Afghanistan, and the Panjab: Including a residence in those countries from 1826 to 1838 written/authored/edited by Charles Masson', published in the year 2022.

Charles Wilkes
NARRATIVE OF THE UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION. Volume I Only
Wiley and Putman issue 1845. Cloth. Very Good. Wiley and Putman issue; Printed by C. Sherman Philadelphia U.S.A. From the plates of the 1st issue. Rosove 353.B4. Quarto 4to 11" tall Vol I lx 434pp 26pp publishers' advertisements 8 engravings including frontipiece 15 vignettes & 68 woodcuts in text 1 double-page copper engraved map. Dark brown cloth decorated in blind with gilt titling on spine and gilt eagle on front cover. Jan09. The Wilkes expedition was the first United States scientific expedition by sea working mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Wilkes sailed along the Antarctic continent and throughout the islands of the South Pacific visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1840 and explored the Northwest Coast of America in 1841. The expedition was made up of a number of notable American scientists and their botanical natural history and geological findings are included. Charles Wilkes 1798-1877 "entered the United States Navy as a midshipman in 1818 and became a lieutenant in 1826. In 1830 he was placed in charge of the division of instruments and charts and in 1838 was appointed to command an exploring and surveying expedition in the Southern Seas authorized by Congress in 1836. The expedition including naturalists botanists a mineralogist taxidermists a philologist among others was carried by the sloops-of-war 'Vincennes' and 'Peacock' the brig 'Porpoise' the storeship 'Relief' and two tenders. Leaving Hampton Roads on the 18th of August 1838 it stopped at Madeira and Rio de Janeiro; visited Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru the Paumotu group of the Low Archipelago the Samoan islands and New South Wales; from Sydney sailed into the Antarctic Ocean in December 1839 and reported the discovery of an Antarctic continent west of the Balleny islands; visited the Fiji and the Hawaiian islands in 1840 explored the west coast of the United States including the Columbia river San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento river in 1841 and returned by way of the Philippine islands the Sulu archipelago Borneo Singapore Polynesia and the Cape of Good Hope reaching New York on the 10th of June 1842. He was court-martialed on his return and acquitted on all charges except that of illegally punishing men in his squadron. For a short time he was attached to the Coast Survey but from 1844 to 1861 he was chiefly engaged in preparing the report of the expedition Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition. Wilkes's Narrative "would also have an impact on some of America's most important and influential writers. James Fenimore Cooper an old family friend of the Wilkes's would integrate information from the Narrative into at least two of his sea novels. Herman Melville would purchase his own copy of Wilkes's book and scholars have found traces of the U.S. Exploring Expedition throughout his masterpiece Moby-Dick. Melville appears to have been most taken with the book's illustrations. For example his description of Ishmael's Polynesian companion Queequeg has been attributed to an engraving of a tattooed Maori chief in Volume 2. In an age before the widespread use of photography the pages of the Narrative provided a visual link with the exotic world of the South Pacific as well as Antarctica and the Pacific Northwest that no other American book could match" Nathaniel Philbrick "The Scientific Legacy of the U.S. Exploring Expedition" part of The United States Exploring Exhibition 1830-1842 an online exhibition by Smithsonian Institution Libraries Washington D.C.: 2004.

SYNOPSIS: Holland - a land full of surprises strange traditions free-spirited people and a rich history. Charlotte Dematons known for her well-loved picture book The Yellow Balloon grew up in France but moved to the Netherlands to study art as so many have before her. With the eye of an outsider but a warm heart for the country that became her new home Charlotte Dematons paints with a keen eye for the detail for everything that makes The Netherlands so Dutch. It's easy to see how New York was first New Amsterdam when delving into modern-day Holland. The idiosyncrasies that make Holland so unique are revealed: from pensionada in unisex rain jackets on their bikes to a grandmother with her walker skating on the ice between the scenes of Avercamp Bruegel and Bosch and of course the multicultural Dutch society revealed and celebrated with wit and warmth. 1000 Things About Holland explains all the details of every amazing picture making this book both an I Spy book and an armchair travel guide for anyone already fond of this small country of tulips windmills and so much more.
