Ricci, Matteo / Trigault, Nicolas.
De Christiana expeditione apud Sina suspecta ab Societate Jesu. Augsburg, Christoph Mang, 1615.
Small 4to. (14), 646 [but: 648], (10) pp. With engraved title page by Wolfgang Kilian and an engraved folding plan. 19th-century tanned half sheepskin, gold-tooled spine, marbled sides. First edition of "the most influential description of China to appear during the first half of the 17th century" (Hanotiau). Ricci (1552-1610), an Italian Jesuit missionary, arrived in China in 1582. Adopting Chinese dress and learning the language, he succeeded where other missionaries had failed. He served in Nanchang, Nanking, and received permission to establish a missionary post in Beijing in 1610. During these years, he kept a journal which presented the history of Jesuit mission in China from its beginning in 1582 to 1610, the year of his death. This manuscript was translated from the Italian into Latin by Ricci's successor Trigault (1577-1628), who tried to elicit support for the mission in China. Trigault, however, changed many passages of Ricci's journal and augmented it with information based on several Portuguese reports. "The resulting volume contains not only a history of the Jesuit mission but also includes a wealth of information about China in the chapters describing Chinese geography, people, laws, government, religion, learning, commerce and the like" (Hanotiau). - The title-page, engraved by Wolfgang Kilian, gives the title on a cloth hanging in a portico, flanked by the figures of St Francis Xavier and Matteo Ricci, and with a small map of China, Korea, Japan and Formosa, with the Great Wall depicted, at the foot. - With library and de-accession stamps. Engraved title-page trimmed down and mounted on browned leaf; some thumbing on the few first and last pages and some minor foxing thoughout, not affecting the text, otherwise in very good condition. The Perrette copy sold at Christie's New York in April 2016 commanded US$68,750 (lot 183). Cordier (Sinica) 809. De Backer/Sommervogel VIII, 239. Lust 836. Morrison II, 466. Streit V, 2094.

Dos à nerfs orné de 4 fleurons caissonnés. Pièce de titre et de tomaison en maroquin rouge. Triple filet d'encadrement sur les plats. Roulette sur les coupes. Coiffes de tête du tome I et IV en partie arrachées ; et des tomes V et VI élimées. Coiffes de queue des tomes I et IV élimées. Mors supérieur du tome I en partie fendu, du tome III en queue et du tome VI sur les trois derniers caissons en queue. Feuillets inversés in fine de la table du tome IV. Malgré tout, ensemble satisfaisant, de bon aspect général. L'auteur ne se contente pas de donner une relation de son voyage personnel en Italie, mais il tend à réaliser une description complète et la plus exacte possible de l'Italie contemporaine, afin que son ouvrage soit un guide moderne et utile, en comparaison aux multiples voyages en Italie qui on été écrits ; et L'abbé Richard s'est en effet beaucoup documenté pour réaliser cette étude aussi bien politique, économique que culturelle. On y trouve des éléments tout à fait nouveaux, en dehors de l'histoire de l'Italie et des descriptions classiques des monuments et oeuvres d'art, comme la qualité de l'air, l'alimentation, les routes, les imprimeries, les courtisanes, les collections... Deux volumes entiers sont consacrés à Rome. L'ouvrage procède par villes et régions géographiques. Des tables de matières permettent aisément de retrouver des éléments particuliers de l'oeuvre. Une somme, si l'on considère que chaque volume contient plus ou moins 400 pages. Le volume 3 contient une chronologie des écoles de peintures et des peintres en Italie.

THE ROSS SEA SHORE PARTY 1914-17
Scott Polar Research Institute Cambridge 1962. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Very Good Condition/Good. 1st Edition; Scott Polar Research Institute Special Publication Number 2. viii 44 pages frontispiece 1 plate 1 map in text. Original covers in unclipped dust jacket. Shelf wear covers slightly grubby contents clean. Extremely scarce especially in this condition. A reprint was issued by Erskine Press in 2003. In August 1914 Shackleton set sail for the South Pole on the Endurance. His Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was to attempt a trans-continental journey from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. Shackleton was doubtful if enough provisions could be carried by the trans- continental party for the complete journey so his plan called for a second ship to land a team in McMurdo Sound whose task it would be to lay food depots every 60 miles as far south as the Beardmore Glacier. This party on board the Aurora sailed late in the same year. In January 1915 they landed at McMurdo. However after a fearful storm their ship was ripped from its moorings and along with it went most of their supplies. Refusing to give up the men scavenged enough from an earlier expedition and set out to do their work. They trekked across some 2000 miles always convinced that when they completed their task Shackleton would have sufficient supplies for the latter part of his journey. Three men died along the way. It is one of the really notable polar journeys; ten men marooned with none of their own fuel clothes or stores yet by improvisation managing to stock depots for a party that would never arrive. R.W. Richards a young Australian physicist set down his personal story for the Scott Polar Research Institute. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Richards, T. Addison.
AMERICAN SCENERY, Illustrated.
310 p. + 32 Plates: steel-engraved frontispiece, title-page, and 30 steel-engraved plates. Plates considerably foxed. Elaborate publisher's red morocco leather gift binding, tooled in blind; With a diamond shaped inset blue leather title piece, elaborately tooled and lettered in gold gilt. Binding worn at the extremities, but still attractive. Inked manuscript ownership of: Mrs. Laura W. Fells, Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA. April 21, 1859. This work was also published under the title, 'The Romance of American Landscape.' Sabin 70958; Wright, II, 2030. "During the first half of the nineteenth century artists fanned out across the northeastern United States to find aesthetic inspiration in nature (and historic architecture). Thomas Addison Richards (1820-1900) was one of the few who traveled extensively in the South. Through his paintings, illustrated magazine articles, and guidebooks, Richards introduced the natural beauty and distinct characteristics of this region to a national audience. Born in London, his family immigrated to America in 1831, moving first to Hudson, New York, and then to Charleston, South Carolina. Around 1837 they settled in the small town of Penfield, Georgia, the original site of Mercer University, where Richards's father, a Baptist minister, served as a charter trustee. In 1838 the young Richards left for Augusta, where for the next two years he offered lessons in painting and drawing and contributed travelogues about his rambles around Georgia to the Augusta Mirror, a local literary magazine. In 1841, sketchbook in hand, he left Augusta to travel around the South in search of picturesque scenes. In 1844 he settled permanently in New York City, where he gave art lessons from his studio and began taking classes at the National Academy of Design. He subsequently became a full academician and served as the institution's corresponding secretary from 1852 to 1892. Many of the paintings he regularly contributed to academy exhibitions were romantic landscapes of the South. Throughout the 1850s Richards penned numerous articles and books. He supplied illustrated articles based on his travels around the Northeast to Graham's Magazine (Philadelphia) and the Knickerbocker (New York). For the weekly Southern Literary Gazette, published by his brother out of Athens, Georgia, and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (New York), he submitted essays on his travels through the South. Richards enlivened his travelogues with personal anecdotes, legendary stories, tips on lodging, and engravings after his on-site drawings. In1854 a series of engravings after Richards's southern sketches appeared in Romance of American Landscape / American Scenery. In 1857 Richards married Mary E. Anthony, an author of children's stories. Thereafter, Richards concentrated on teaching and painting.
