1963réf. BOOKS000690xxxv464 pages 12 plates including frontispiece 5 maps one of which folds out appendixes bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 6" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria embossed on front cover with cover edges blind stamped in original jacket. Edited by E G R Taylor. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society second series volume 121. First edition. William Bourne of Gravesend by trade a gunner was a successful writer of a new type of textbook. Neither a scholar not of gentle birth both of which were regarded as the prerequisites of authorship in the sixteenth century when scientific books were expected to appear only in universities and to be read only by those fluent in Latin Bourne nevertheless produced a whole series of technical manuals written in English for the artisans and craftsmen of his own class. A Regiment for the Sea which forms the core of the volume is perhaps the earliest technical manual written by an Englishman. It is not simply his rules for navigation for Bourne wrote much as he spoke so that out of this instruction book for sailors a clear picture of the man himself emerges: serious reliable patriotic and with this inborn impulse to pass on his knowledge to others. The first edition of 1574 is printed here in full with the additional material which was added to the 1580 edition. Taylor has also included two Almanackes. She has written an introductory section to each text and in her General Introduction she fills in the details of Bourne's life and discusses his various writings.

Edited by John Bockstoce. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society second series volume 169 and 170. First edition. In 1845 Sir John Franklin's expedition left England search for a northwest passage and vanished into the Arctic forever. three years later HMS Plover's was the first departure in twenty one expeditions searching for Franklin. Although most of the analyses of the Franklin search have focused on the large expeditions in the eastern Arctic the smaller western expeditions also produced significant geographical and ethnographic information. The Plover's voyage of 1848 to 1854 was the first constant presence of Europeans in the western Arctic and Rochfort Maguire's journal is the earliest account of a sustained foreign association with the Eskimos of northern Alaska. Maguire's journal is far more than an important historical document; it is a fascinating account of Europeans and Eskimos learning to cope with one another. Maguire's narrative is introduced by a detailed discussion of the history strategy and logistics of the Franklin Search in the western Arctic. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.
