[COOK: FIRST VOYAGE] SANDWICH, John Montagu, fourth Earl
Autograph letter signed from the Earl of Sandwich to "Dr Hawkesworth at Mrs Banwells Great Ormond Street
London 1771. Quarto autograph manuscript in ink; single page on a bifolium with address panel; on paper watermarked "LVG" <p><p>Amusing original letter from Sandwich to John Hawkesworth ghostwriter of the official account of Cook's first voyage. Sandwich writes: "That I may be certain whether you are alive or dead I shall be obliged to you if you will either come yourself or send your ghost to dine with me tomorrow. I am most sincerely yours Sandwich." This witty communication dates from the period when Hawkesworth was preparing the Cook account during Sandwich's third term as First Lord of Admiralty 1771-82; of course it was during this appointment that James Cook discovered Hawaii on his third voyage and named them the Sandwich Islands in his honour. The letter probably dates from late 1771 while Hawkesworth was at work on the journal. He died in November 1773 not long after the book's publication. </p> <p>Hawkesworth was introduced to Sandwich by Charles Burney in September 1771 when "the First Lord was casting around for someone to 'write the voyage' - that is to take Cook's journal and put it into a form suitable for the reading of the polite world; and not only Cook's journal but those of the three other circumnavigators Byron Wallis and Carteret. Cook and Banks we remember were patriotically anxious that this should be done as soon as possible and it was all the more important to get something authentic on the market. Burney recommended his friend Dr John Hawkesworth who had time and could do with the money." Beaglehole. </p> <p>Fanny Burney recorded in her diary for 15 September 1771 that "My father has had a happy opportunity of extremely obliging Dr. Hawkesworth. During his stay in Norfolk he waited upon Lord Orford who had always been particularly friendly to him. He there among others met with Lord Sandwich. His Lordship was speaking of the late voyage round the world and mentioned his having the papers of it in his possession; for he is First Lord of the Admiralty; and said that they were not arranged but mere rough draughts and said that he should be much obliged to any one who could recommend a proper person to write the Voyage. My father directly named Dr. Hawkesworth and his Lordship did him the honour to accept his recommendation. I cannot but be amazed that a man of Lord Sandwich's power &ca. should be so in ignorance of men of learning and merit as to apply to an almost stranger.".</p> <p>The money was decent: Hawkesworth earned a substantial £6000 from the publishers Strahan and Cadell and completed the first two volumes in just four months. A landmark publication this would help to cement Cook's reputation in the eyes of the public serving Sandwich's official purpose.</p> </p> . unknown

[COOK: FIRST VOYAGE] [MAGRA, James]
Supplément au Voyage de M. de Bougainville; ou Journal d'un Voyage autour du Monde Fait par MM. Banks & Solander Anglois en 1768 1769 1770 1771
Paris: Saillant & Nyon 1772. Very slight rubbing to joints but a fine tall copy with good margin. Octavo blind-stamped ex-libris to half title; contemporary French marbled calf flat spine gilt in compartments red morocco label. <p><p>A fine copy of the first French account of Cook's Endeavour voyage and the first French book on the east coast of Australia. Fréville translates the text now considered to be by Magra which - published in English in 1771 - was the unauthorised and earliest account of the progress of the Endeavour voyage. This is one of two probably simultaneous issues this one having the "Supplément" title-page; in this form the publishers intended the book to complement the octavo edition of Bougainville's voyage. The work also includes some material that did not appear in the original London edition including a 'Lettre de M. de Commerson' the famed naturalist from Bougainville's circumnavigation who remained behind at Mauritius to continue his research. </p> <p>The second supplement is equally important: the 'Lettre de M. le B. de G.' is a learned treatise on the possibility of a northwest passage written at Königsberg modern Kaliningrad and quoting from experts on the region such as Gmelin Muller and Engel. Although the identity of this scholar remains hazy it is surprising that such an interesting - and relatively early - report on the northwest passage has been largely ignored. Continuing the parade of famous explorers included in this short work the Commerson letter is said to have been conveyed to France by none other than Kerguelen promoter of the "Terre Australe".</p> <p>Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue further notes that a letter from Sir Joseph Banks to the Académie des Sciences is also quoted in the introduction said to have first been published in the Journal des Savans. Despite his best efforts to distance himself from Magra's work including having the false dedication in the London edition removed it appears that his unwilling association with the work continued on the continent. Indeed one of the attractive aspects of this copy is not only the fine contemporary French binding but the spine label which reads 'Voyage de Solander': it was not unusual for Banks to be given top-billing in the excitement of the return of the Endeavour but there cannot be too many examples that plump for Solander.</p> </p> .

Madrid: Imprenta de Don Tomás Jordan 1832. Six volumes duodecimo with six engraved plates one in each volume original blue printed wrappers preserved a charming set in period Spanish quarter calf gilt. <p><p>Very uncommon first Spanish edition of Cook's first voyage published in 1832 as part of a series described as the 'New Library of Modern Voyages useful and interesting for Spanish youth.' The work has a charming series of six plates which include a scene in Tahiti featuring the Chief Mourner and two New Zealand scenes a warrior in profile the war canoe and conclude with a dramatic scene on board the Endeavour. The presence of the original printed wrappers bound-in is of more than passing interest as the back wrappers give an interesting overview of how the set was marketed being sold for 6 reales per volume as they were issued whether in Madrid or in the provinces and stressing the value of the work for the instruction of youth. Each volume would subsequently be priced 8 reales per volume.</p> <p>The translator Alvarado y de la Pena based his work on the French edition of Cook's first voyage. He also prepared at least one other work of Australian interest an edition of George Barrington published in Madrid circa 1815. Beddie listed copies in the Mitchell and National Libraries.</p> </p> .

[COOK: FIRST VOYAGE] PARKINSON, Sydney
Voyage autour du monde sur le vaisseau de Sa Majeste Britannique l'Endeavour. avec les planches de l'auteur.
Paris: De l'Imprimerie de Guillaume 1797. A few leaves a little foxed; a very good copy. Two volumes octavo six folding engraved plates after Parkinson a handsome set in contemporary French mottled calf flat spines gilt double red and tan morocco labels. <p><p>First French edition first issue: the artist's account of Cook's first voyage and the discovery of eastern Australia. Translated by C. Henri from the 1784 English edition it also contains material from later voyagers updating the account including the experiences of the Forsters on the second voyage. This is the octavo issue noted by Kroepelien as preceding the otherwise identical quarto of the same year.</p> <p>Parkinson had been employed in 1767 by Sir Joseph Banks who thought so highly of his work that he arranged for the young man to join him on Cook's first voyage. When the expedition's draughtsman Alexander Buchan died at Tahiti Parkinson was called on to take over all of the topographical work completing some 1300 sketches quite apart from compiling vocabularies in Tahiti and New Holland. At the end of the voyage en route from Batavia to the Cape of Good Hope he died of a fever and after the return of the Endeavour ownership of his manuscripts and drawings was disputed: Banks considered that they were his while Parkinson's brother Stanfield claimed them under the provisions of his brother's will. When Hawkesworth learned of the impending English publication of this work he got an injunction to delay its appearance until some time after his official account and despite having used Parkinson's work extensively retaliated by deliberately omitting Parkinson's name from the narrative: even the botanical illustrations in the official account have no credit to the artist.</p> <p>Some of the bibliographical history of this work is quite complex. An extended note by Rolf du Rietz in the Kroepelien catalogue explains that this octavo issue although textually identical to a quarto issue published the same year by the same publisher is actually the genuine first issue du Rietz demonstrates from an error in the signatures that the quarto was re-imposed. Du Rietz knew the octavo only from the copy in the University of Oslo although no complete census of the two issues has been attempted. A note in O'Reilly-Reitman suggests - as if we needed more complexity - that the number of plates is uncertain as they examined copies with any number between five and eight; nonetheless six plates is the standard collation.</p> </p> .

[COOK: SECOND VOYAGE] SPARRMAN, Anders
Voyage au Cap de Bonne-Espérance et Autour du Monde avec le Capitaine Cook et principalement dans le pays des Hottentots et des Caffres.
Paris: chez Buisson 1787. Good copy. Two volumes quarto with a folding map and 16 engraved plates some folding; original mottled calf binding. <p><p>Cook's second voyage and travels in South Africa by the famous Swedish naturalist. This is the first edition in French the most profusely illustrated of the early editions of the book. This is an example of the quarto version an octavo version appeared simultaneously. Sparrman professor of zoology at Uppsala University was in South Africa when Cook's second voyage called there in 1772; Forster engaged him to accompany the expedition as assistant naturalist. Though much of his book is a narrative of travels in Africa with emphasis on its flora and fauna and a remarkable series of plates on termites and their habitations he includes an interesting account of his voyage with Cook in the first volume - as Hocken notes "Hairbreadth escape from collision of the two ships not mentioned elsewhere. Shocking details as to the food on board. Described the plants which Georg Forster drew. Both interesting and amusing.".</p> <p>Sparrman published an expanded Swedish version of his account of the voyage in 1802 with a second volume in 1818 but this account in its various versions was the only eighteenth-century text by this member of the second voyage.</p> </p> . chez Buisson unknown

[COOK: THIRD VOYAGE] SHAW, Alexander
A Catalogue of the Different Specimens of Cloth collected in the three voyages of Captain Cook to the Southern Hemisphere; with a Particular Account of the Manner of the Manufacturing the same in the various Islands of the South Seas; partly extracted from Mr. Anderson and Reinhold Forster's Observations and the verbal Account of some of the most knowing of the Navigators: with some anecdotes that happened to them among the natives
London: Alexander Shaw 1787. Quarto eight pages printed text followed by original blank leaves separating the 36 actual cloth specimens several full page as well as many smaller; original calf binding neatly lettered and decorated spine. <p><p>This rare and exotic publication of original Pacific artefacts is the most remarkable of the whole Cook canon: with a brief but significant letterpress introduction it mainly consists of actual specimens of eighteenth-century tapa cloth collected in the Pacific islands particularly Hawaii Tahiti and Tonga. </p> <p>In modern times the publication has become one of the great rarities of eighteenth-century Pacific exploration. This is an example of the first issue of the book with the strictly contemporary bookplate of Sir Corbet D'Avenant 1752-1823 Baronet of Stoke and Adderley. Donald Kerrr speculates in his census that D'Avenant was likely an original subscriber on first publication. </p> <p>Published only a few years after the return of the ships from Cook's third voyage it is not recorded how many of the cloth-books were prepared and up until the recent detective work of Erica Ryan at the NLA very little was known about the publisher Alexander Shaw either. However the limited supplies of the actual cloth must have dictated a very small edition - the most recent census of known copies by Donald Kerr stood at the tiny figure of 66 recently revised by us to 68 of which 57 were held by international libraries. This count of course includes the later issues of the book which continued to be sold often with dramatically varying contents as late as 1806. </p> <p>There has in effect never been a standard collation of the book - the fascinating dedication addressed to an unnamed "Sir" is genuinely vague on numbers - not least because it is obvious that Shaw was simultaneously selling individual samples and "fine specimens of the tree with the bark" at his shop in the Strand. </p> <p>Indeed as Forbes shows in some detail in the Hawaiian National Biography and others including Ian Morrison Maryanne Larkin Erica Ryan and Donald Kerr have all confirmed in more detail no two copies of the work are identical meaning that a precise collation is needed every time. Thus while 39 different samples are listed in Shaw's introductory list and "40" are mentioned at another point in the dedication many copies have quite different collations not least because the Jamaican sample perhaps the most surprising addition was apparently dropped in the course of publication. </p> <p>In short the present example has a total of 36 separate samples including particularly fine full-page examples of many of the more famous sheets. Almost none of the sheets have been particularly affected by the late-Georgian and Victorian practice of clipping: it is well-known that many collectors constructed what have become known as 'snippet books' of the Cook tapa cloths by cutting pieces from copies of Shaw's volume and pasting them into separate books or albums. </p> <p>As a result of this clipping habit copies of the original Shaw book survive in various states of completeness sometimes with only very small fragments of the once full-page specimens remaining. In this copy with its original blank leaves in place it is quite clear that the specimens have essentially retained their original shape with only four or perhaps five showing evidence of very minor clipping as can be shown from the ancient offsetting onto the adjoining blanks. </p> <p>The production of this book reflects the genuine curiosity aroused by tapa a fascination that drove competition between collectors of 'artificial curiosities' and generated an active market for the sheets brought home by Cook's men. The preface of the book contains descriptions of bark cloth manufacture by Cook Anderson Forster and an anonymous officer titled 'one of the navigators' and is followed by the list of the specimens compiled by Shaw. The list is indeed rich in fascinating details; for example we learn that the various uses of the tapa: 'wore sic by the people in the rainy season' or 'used at the human sacrifice'. Some of the notes in the list are longer and doubtless arise from tales told by the mariners who collected the tapa in the first place as boasted on the title page. </p> <p>Each island group used designs unique to its culture and the interest of Europeans in this material equalled the passion aroused by the extraordinary wood-carvings and exotic shells brought back by Cook. </p> <p>The Shaw Catalogue is of great significance as a repository of unique original tapa but it also speaks of the time when Cook's sailors were spreading their stories of the alluring South Seas while drawing-room chatter throughout the land luxuriated in descriptions of the new exotic. The publication forms a tangible link between these narratives the indigenous cultures of the South Pacific and Hawaiian islands the myriad personal and trading relationships that developed between the islanders and mariners and the genteel world of gentleman collectors and their cabinets of curiosities.</p> </p> . Provenance: Norton J. Whitmont collection; Kelton Foundation Los Angeles; original owner Sir Corbet D'Avenant 1752-1823 Baronet of Stoke and Adderley with armorial bookplate. Corbet d'Avenant was the son of Anne Corbet daughter of Sir Robert Corbet c.1670-1740 4th Bt of Stoke upon Tern. Upon the death of Anne's brother rector of Adderley from 1735 Sir Henry Corbet the seventh baronet on 7 May 1750 the baronetcy became extinct and the family estates passed to his nephew Corbet D'Avenant who assumed the name of Corbet and was created a baronet on 27 June 1786. Upon his death on 31 March 1823 the second baronetcy also became extinct. Alexander Shaw unknown

[COOK: THIRD VOYAGE] LEDYARD, John
A Journal of Captain Cook's Last Voyage to the Pacific Ocean and in quest of a North-West Passage between Asia and America; performed in the years 1776 1777 1778 and 1779. Faithfully narrated from the original Ms. of Mr. John Ledyard
Hartford Connecticut: Nathaniel Patten 1783. Small octavo lacking the map as do virtually all known copies top four lines of title-page in well prepared facsimile; as always a little browned throughout but generally in rather better condition than most copies; in the original dark calf binding. <p><p>Highly important personal account of Cook's third voyage: the first American account of Cook's third voyage and thus the very earliest American account of the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands later to become the fiftieth state of America. This rare and significant book is notoriously hard to find in good shape. </p> <p>Ledyard one of several Americans on the voyage and the only one to publish an account of the expedition sailed as a corporal of marines. It is now generally acknowledged that he got hold of a copy of Rickman's narrative which he used to help him compile this account after his return to America. He himself describes the sealing of all diaries drawings memorandums and charts of all officers and crew aboard ship at Canton. However the narrative contains considerable information not available elsewhere including the first published description of the Russian presence on Unalaska the first permanent Russian settlement in northwest America only Ledyard Samwell and Edgar visited the settlement. The chart supposed to have been issued with the book which seems to have been an almost direct copy of the Rickman map is missing in almost every copy known and in view of the erratic nature of American eighteenth-century publishing it is nowadays accepted that it was not generally issued.</p> <p>Ledyard's description of his stay at Hawaii his expedition inland and the death of Cook occupies sixty-four pages of the text. The account of New Zealand and Australia is short but includes his observation that 'the island of New-Holland for its boundaries are now ascertained is by much the largest known and most eligably sic situated on the map of nature. even the Empress of Russia might be gratified with such a portion'.</p> </p> .

[COOK: THIRD VOYAGE] WEBBER, John, after, engraved by BT POUNCY B T
A View of the Town and Harbour of St Peter and St Paul in Kamtschatka
London 1784. Engraving 253 x 533 mm. to plate mark paper size 290 x 540 mm.; a little light old creasing at right side; in fine condition. <p><p>Rare proof impression of one of the most atmospheric views made by Webber to illustrate Cook's third voyage: the St Peter and Paul ostrog as seen during the expedition's first visit to Avacha Bay.</p> <p>This wonderful panorama of St Peter and St Paul with Cook's ships at anchor in the bay would later appear as plate 74 in the atlas to the official account of the third voyage. Webber's image depicts the small Kamchatkan settlement with its inhabitants fishing in front of their distinctive dwellings all in an untouched landscape with wooded coastline and distant snow-covered mountains. It offers an arcadian vision of the place wildly at variance with what it would become: modern Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky now a major commercial port and the home of Russia's nuclear submarine fleet. It was at St Peter and St Paul that the battered vessels called in late April 1779 and here that Major Behm agreed to take the news of Cook's death overland to St. Petersburg.</p> <p>This is an early state of the print before letters. The temporary credits here scratched into the plate are differently worded to the final version that would appear in the publication: here there is no caption identifying the view and the image is identified as "Drawn from Nature by J. Webber" and "Engraved by B.T. Pouncy". In the finished version these would be differently expressed as "J. Webber del." and "B.T. Pouncy sc.". The proof engraving is printed on a noticeably different paper and its inking is distinctly finer than the examples of the finished version with which we have compared it. The result is a greater tonal quality.</p> <p>Joppien and Smith discuss the Kamchatkan visit at some length in both text and catalogue volumes of their study of the art of Cook's third voyage. In their description of the related watercolour view now in the Dixson Library in Sydney they note that the original version has probably been lost and that the Dixson watercolour is probably related to the engraving process. </p> <p>This is a desirable and rare version of one of Webber's most successful images from Cook's third voyage. `</p> </p> . unknown

[COOK: THIRD VOYAGE] COOK, James and James KING
A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean; Undertaken by Command of His Majesty for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere.
London: Stockdale Scatcherd and Whitaker Fielding & Hardy 1784. A few spots and stains but a good set. Four volumes octavo with two folding maps and 49 plates in a smart modern binding of polished half calf with gilt labels edges rough-trimmed only with the often discarded half-titles present. <p><p>First octavo edition of the third voyage account with a large chart of the world as discovered by Captain Cook and a finely engraved folding map of the Hawaiian Islands. Intense public interest in the fabulous discoveries of the third voyage and widespread consternation over the death of England's beloved mariner resulted in copies of the quarto edition selling out quickly. The demand prompted two London octavo editions of 1784-1785 including this set printed for John Stockdale and a group of entrepreneurial publishers. The text was abridged omitting some technical and navigation details and as a result reads more like an adventure than the official quarto edition. The list of subscribers is considerable indicating the fervent public interest and a modest price considerably reduced from that of the expensive quarto edition.</p> <p>In addition to the two impressive maps the plates have been re-engraved for the smaller format. Aside from the large chart accompanying the first volume showing the progress of the expedition the two folding plates are noteworthy. The first depicts the death of Cook and was engraved after the original by Dodd. It ignominiously depicts the last moments of the great navigator here shown lying face down and clutching the shore whilst dragged by the calves by a Hawaiian warrior in a tapa cape. The second folding plate is a map of the Hawaiian Islands with a separate chart of Karakakooa Bay marked with soundings details of native villages and areas under cultivation - and the location 'Here Capt. Cook was killed' duly noted.</p> <p>This edition was originally issued in weekly parts with printed wrappers; half-titles for this edition seem to be usually absent though this set includes those for volumes 2 to 4 none is called for in volume 1. The title pages are dated 1784 although the span of publication passed into the following year.</p> </p> . Stockdale, Scatcherd and Whitaker, Fielding, & Hardy unknown

Paris: Hôtel de Thou 1785. Fine. Five quarto volumes including the final atlas volume containing a total of 88 engraved maps and plates; uniform full calf armorial bindings of the period. <p><p>A superb set of the desirable first French edition of the official account of Cook's third voyage in outstanding contemporary French bindings bearing the arms of the Ruolz Montchal family and the motto "Toujours pret". A smaller edition in octavo was published at the same time but this larger and handsome version is or course greatly preferred. It is illustrated in the manner of the English publication and has a version of the famous "Death of Cook" plate based on the original drawing by John Webber not all copies of the French quarto edition include this plate. Furthermore the fourth and final volume of the text is complete with all seven appendices including the folding vocabulary table.</p> <p>The full story of Cook's great third voyage and his eventual murder while revisiting the Hawaiian Islands that he had discovered earlier during the voyage was almost as eagerly awaited by the European as by the English public: the approximately forty ediitns that appeared befpre 1800 included vesion sin Fench Dutch Geman ruswsian Swedish and Italiqan. This French version is th emost handsome of all the 4editiins ager the English official account.</p> <p>Bligh Burney Colnett Vancouver and Riou - all later to command important voyages of their own - were all members of the expedition which set out to return Omai to Tahiti and to search for a northwest passage.

Marbled brown calf with double borders of six different rolls (gilt-stamped tendrils, blossoms, and fleurs-de-lis) and double fillets, gilt-stamped label to richly gilt spine, leading edges and inner dentelle gilt, marbled endpapers and matching fore-edge marbling. First edition of this splendid collection of Swedish views. In a master binding by the Swedish bookbinder Gustaf Hedberg (1859-1920). - The first copies of this work, printed at the cost of the Swedish king, were given away by the royal family; it was not for sale until 1772. The present copy is one of the few ones with the plates bound flat in oblong folio (instead of folded in large oblong 4to), for which the plates frequently had to be mounted within paper borders or remargined to ensure a uniform large oblong folio format. - Hinges imperceptibly restored. Interior slightly fingerstained and with professionally restored tears; altogether a well-preserved copy of the rare plano edition; plates in early, bold impressions. Brunet V, 578. Graesse Vi, 519.

[Drop-title:] Capt. Taylor's remarks, in ship Ceres. [London, George Bigg, 1787].
Small folio (31.5 x 24.5 cm). 12 pp. Contemporary, vellum-backed, stiff marbled wrappers. Rare second edition, second state, of a journal of a voyage from Sumatra to Bengal, kept by Captain Robert Taylor on the ship Ceres, followed by additional comments from "a manuscript, which may be depended upon". Locations sighted include: Hog Island, the Cocos islands, Aceh, the Straits of Malacca, Barren Island and the Andaman Islands. - The journal was published by the eccentric Scottish geographer Alexander Dalrymple (1737-1808), Captain Cook's leading rival. As hydrographer for the East India Company, Dalrymple would publish an annual series of memoirs and detailed ships' logs that he obtained in that function. He would compare historical sources gathered from extensive archival research with newly obtained data straight from the ships and his own careful observations. With these publications Dalrymple became the originator of official British hydrography and as such they give a unique impression of the (development of the) scientific background that laid behind the trade of the British Empire in the East. - The journal was first published in 1782 together with A brief statement of the prevailing winds from monsieur Après De Mannevillette. - A very good copy.

First edition an exceptionally rare collection of Dutch Voyages to the East Indies here housed in its contemporary binding and with the complete complement of engraved views and maps. These early voyages of discovery and expeditions in the late 16th and early 17th centuries laid the foundation for the Dutch expansion and successful trading activities in the Far East and the establishing of the Dutch seaborne empire. This collection of voyages brought together by the Amsterdam publisher Joost Hartgers in 1648 ranks among the best albeit not the earliest collections printed in the first half of the 17th century. This collection contains amongst many important travels the journals of Bontekoe & Raven and Pelsaert ads 10 and 11 on Australia.All parts have separate title pages and individual pagination and could be sold separately which is why it is extraordinary to find them together. Copies complete with the preliminaries frontispiece general title introduction and index are very rare. A proposed second part remained unpublished.The binding is slightly soiled some manuscript inscriptions on the front pastedown and recto of the first flyleaf occasional marginal manuscript annotations. The typographical general title page has been restored along the fore-edge slightly affecting the woodcut illustration very slightly browned throughout occasionally slightly foxed occasional marginal water stains. Otherwise in very good condition.l Cox I p. 30; Landwehr VOC 251; STCN 089914589 6 copies incl. 2 incomplete; Tiele 1179; Tiele Mem. pp. 7-8; cf.

[East India Company].
Three Letters Addressed to a Friend in India, by a Proprietor. Principally on the Subject of Importing Bengal Sugars into England. London, J. Debrett, 1793.
8vo. 88 pp. With a folding table "Profit and loss on sugars imported from Begal" after p. 10. Disbound with remains of a calf spine. First edition. - "It is contended, in these letters, that the India company are already in possession of exclusive privileges which many deem injurious to the public, and that it would be gross impolicy to invest them with the power of converting the sugar trade into a monopoly. An equalization of duties is deemed both unnecessary and impolitic; unneccessary, because the East India company can bring sugars to market with a profit subject to the present high duties, as long as it can be for the general interest of the nation, that they should so do; and impolitic, because the East India company would totally ruin the West India islands if they can import sugars to any extet for which a demand can be found" (The Analytical Review 15 [1793], p. 523). - Title a little spotty; slight dampstain in the upper margin. "No. 4" handwritten in old ink to upper right corner of title page. Goldsmiths 15622. Ames Library pamphlet collection 91:5. ESTC T2945 (7 copies). OCLC 503866141.

[ENGLISH COUNTY MAPS]
English County Maps in the Collection of the Royal Geographical Society. Reproductions of Early Engraved Maps II.
London.: Royal Geographical Society. 1932. Twenty one loose maps with tissue guards printed on sheets 49.5 x 63.5 cm in the original folio title-wrappers the maps with some edge wear and toning but on the whole in very good condition the wrappers browned and stained torn with minor loss at the foot of the title wrapper small closed edge tears now re-enforced with archival material and sound. Lacking the introductory notes by Edward Heawood. The complete suite of maps: an impressive production. The first map is a general map of England and Ireland by an unknown author 1594; nineteen county maps; and a final sheet of miniature county maps printed as a deck of playing-cards. The county maps proper vary in date from Saxton's “Southamtonia” of 1575 to John Speed's version of Norden's map of Sussex dated 1610. A contemporary reviewer dubbed it " a rich cartographical feast" allowing easy access to rare and valuable maps and comparison of maps by different cartographers for the same county. <br>The county maps reproduced include five by Christopher Saxton three by John Norden Philip Symonson's map of Eastern Kent published in 1596 a series of seven maps dating from the early years of the seventeenth century two maps prepared for Camden and two published by John Speed. .
