1808ref. E0058ix366 pages. Small octavo 7 1/4" x 4 1/4" in the original leather binding with black label in gilt to spine. Howes:354 First printed in 1806 in London in three volumes. Second printing. Thomas Ashe 1770-1835 was born in Dublin Ireland and was a soldier and memoirist. Much of his life was checkered with intrigue and fraud. His Memoirs and Confessions 1815 is an autobiographical account of 'criminal and delinquent' escapades beginning with the seduction of a girl in France. In America he edited the National Intelligencer and was arrested when attempting to steal treasures from churches in Latin America. His Travels in America first appeared in 1806. The narrative chronicles Ashe's travels by flatboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in 1806 and is one of the first travelogues written by a foreigner to comment specifically on the American inhabitants of the region. A unrestrained hatred of Americans can be found throughout the work. While the account is interesting and highly readable it was to create quite a stir and added to the wave of anti-British sentiment that would ultimately lead to the War of 1812.

1982ref. 28467London:: Hakluyt Society 1982. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine set in Very Good plus dust jackets with gentle wear to the extremities. This four-volume set presents the previously unpublished journal of the principal naturalist on Cook's second voyage. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster J. R. Forster - principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage - was nevertheless recognised by many contemporaries as one of the ‘universal geniuses’ of the late 18th century. His journal of the voyage offers many new insights expressed at times in quite unrestrained language into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on the second and the most scientific and the most epic of Cook's voyages. However the circumstances of Forster's career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas. Consequently important works such as this journal which would have established him as the leading comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific have thus far remained obscure and seldom-used manuscripts.
