- Chez F. Buisson, A Paris 1800, In-8 (13x20,5cm), (4) viij, 390pp. et (4) 364pp., 2 volumes reliés. - Edition originale française traduite par J. Castera, sans l'atlas qu'on se procurait à part, car plus onéreux, et qui constitue un volume in-4. Reliure en pleine basane blonde racinée d'époque. Dos lisse de losanges dans des caissons ornés. Pièces de titre et de tomaison de veau rouge. Un manque en tête du tome I. Epidermure aux coins bas sur les plats. Accroc sur les caissons en queue. Exemplaire bien frais, exempt de rousseurs. Rare voyage de découvertes sur le Thibet et le Bhoutan dont la différenciation ne date que de 1774 et du premier voyage vers ces contrées par Bogle, missionné par Warren Hastings, président du fort William et Gouverneur du Bengale. Samuel Turner fut missionné à son tour par Hastings, au début de l'année 1783, en compagnie d'un ingénieur et dessinateur et d'un médecin. De Calculta, les voyageurs passèrent au Bouhtan et furent reçu par le Rajah de la contrée. Le second volume consigne le voyage au Thibet. Excellent conteur, Samuel Turner décrit les moeurs et coutumes, la flore et la faune, visite les monastères et consigne tout élément qui lui paraît digne d'intérêt, de la hiérarchie religieuse du Thibet et du Grand Lama jusqu'à l'abondance des Ananas dans la région indienne proche du Bouhtan. Comparaison du commerce entre le Bouhtan et le Thibet, l'Inde et le Bhoutan, le Thibet et l'Inde, la Chine, etc. Plusieurs pièces achèvent le livre après la narration de Samuel turner : diverses lettres, notamment au gouverneur du Bengale, une notice historique sur le Thibet de 1783 à 1793, un essai sur les végétaux et les minéraux du Bouhtan et du Thibet. Lexique utile avec des termes thibétains et bouhtanais. [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]

TURNER, Captain Samuel
An Account of an Embassy to the Court of the Teshoo Lama in Tibet; Containing a Narrative of a Journey Through Bootan and Part of Tibet
4to [30 x 24 cm]; xxviii, 473 pp, 13 fine engraved plates including double-page, plus folding engraved map by J. Walker dated Feb 12th, 1800 (short tear in margin), other illus. later calf-backed binding, gilt rules & devises, gilt title lettering on leather spine label, expert repair to verso title & folding plate, a few small light stains in margins, small signature on title, else a clean near fine copy with nice wide margins. Cordier 2909. Yakushi T140. Cox I, 346: "This is without comparison the most valuable work that has yet appeared on Thibet." 'Sprightly narrative' (MacGregor in Tibet, who devotes a full chapter on Turner and reproduces many of the plates). The author, who was an officer in the East India service, provides an early travel account in Tibet, which both before and after strictly limited foreigners from entering. He travelled in 1783-85 from Bhutan to Gyantse and Shigatse, Chumbe Valley, Tang La, etc. Robert Saunders provided the botanical, mineralogical and medical observations and Samuel Davis provided the fine plates, mostly of scenery, an early plate of the Yak, buildings, palaces, dwellings, a double-page plate of Tibetan writing, etc. The views were drawn on the spot by Lieutenant Samuel Davis and with botanical, mineralogical and medical observations by Robert Saunders. This is regarded as the earliest and best description of Tibet of the period.

Twain. Mark. [PSUED Samuel Langhorne Clemens] 1835-1910
Roughing It. By Mark Twain - First American Edition, first issue
1872 1872. Fully Illustrated by Eminent Artists. (Issued by Subscription Only...) Hartford, Conn.: American Publishing Company [etc.], 1872. 1 page undated ads. Original black cloth decorated in gilt. First American Edition, first issue, of this very early Twain title -- his fourth major book. In July 1861, as the Civil War was getting underway, Twain headed out west as private secretary to his brother Orion, who had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory; Twain's "account of the continental crossing with Orion is a full-throated celebration of a golden era, of travel, youth, adventure, and America's last frontier" [Kaplan]..~The first issue is identifiable by the proper printing of lines 20-21 on p. 242.; also this copy does have ads on p. [592], which may be a further first-issue point. This is a near-fine copy (only a trace of wear at some edges, slight cracking of the front endpaper); as usual the binding's "gilt" (if actual gilt it is) has oxidized to a copper color. Blanck 3337 (indicating that the British editions may have been issued a few days earlier); McBride p. 18.~In our experience, it is quite difficult to find in decent shape copies of the first three of Twain's books that were issued in this hefty, oversized format (THE INNOCENTS ABROAD in 1869, this title in 1872, and THE GILDED AGE in 1873); it is not that hard to find the fourth and last (A TRAMP ABROAD in 1879).
