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. 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
Best.-Nr. 25992'St. Petersburgh 26th. Jany. 1802.'. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. For the context see Irina and Dmitri Gouzevitch ‘Travelling interchanges between the Russian Empire and Western Europe / The Travels of Engineers during the First Half of the Nineteenth Century’ in Simões Carneiro and Diogo eds ‘Travels of Learning / A Geography of Science in Europe’ Boston 2003. 1p 8vo. Nineteen lines of closely-written text. On aged and worn paper. The item has been torn away from a mount resulting in damage to the two outer corners with the area immediately to the right of the signature ‘St Helens’ lacking. The name of the recipient ‘Genl. Bentham Esqr &c &c &c’ has the word ‘Genl.’ heavily worn. Folded into a packet. Begins: ‘Give me leave my Dear Sir to introduce and recommend to you the Bearer of this Letter Mr. Vaxel a young Russian Literati who is going to England by order and I believe at the Expence of this Government in order to study Hydraulics. As he has been particularly recommended to me by the Vice-Chancellor and some other persons in high Office I could not avoid giving you this trouble being persuaded that nobody is more capable than yourself of pointing out to him the best method of presenting his studies to advantage’. In the rest of the letter he states that Vaxel is ‘a nephew of your late valuable Friend Coll. Itamalnoff’ with ‘Admiral Medvinoff’ as his ‘chief Patron’. He also gives Vaxel's titles. Note: "Mount St. Helens takes its English name from that of the British diplomat Alleyne Fitzherbert 1st Baron St Helens a friend of explorer George Vancouver who surveyed the area in the late 18th century".
