M K Beddie: 39 First edition of the bound edition. Captain James Cook RN was a British explorer navigator and cartographer ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society. This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career and in the direction of British overseas exploration and led to his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages. Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements can be attributed to a combination of seamanship superior surveying and cartographic skills courage in exploring dangerous locations to confirm the facts for example dipping into the Antarctic Circle repeatedly and exploring around the Great Barrier Reef an ability to lead men in adverse conditions and boldness both with regard to the extent of his explorations and his willingness to exceed the instructions given to him by the Admiralty. Cook was killed in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779. Condition: Lacks volume II and VI.

Richard Owen Cambridge was a British poet. He was educated at Eton and at St John's College Oxford. Leaving the university without taking a degree he took up residence at Lincolns Inn in 1737. Four years later he married and went to live at his country seat of Whitminster Gloucestershire. In 1751 he removed to Twickenham where he enjoyed the society of many notable persons. Horace Walpole in his letters makes many jesting allusions to Cambridge in the character of news-monger. His chief work is the Scribleriad 1751 a mock epic poem the hero of which is the Martinus Scriblerus of Alexander Pope John Arbuthnot and Jonathan Swift. The poem is preceded by a dissertation on the mock heroic in which he avows Cervantes as his master. The satire shows considerable learning and was eagerly read by literary people; but it never became popular and the allusions always obscure have little interest for the present-day reader. He made a valuable contribution to history in his Account of the War in India on the Coast of Coromandel from the year 1750 to 1760 1761. He had intended to write a history of the rise and progress of British power in India but this enterprise went no further than this one work as he found that Robert Orme who had promised him the use of his papers contemplated the execution of a similar plan. The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge includes several pieces never before published. It contains an Account of his Life and Characterby his Son George Owen Cambridge 1803 the Scribleriad some narrative and satirical poems and about twenty papers originally published in Edward Moore's paper The World.

Publications de la Societe d'Etudes pour la colonisation de la Guyane francaise Number 4. The bibliographical catalogue occupies pages 579-616 and contains descriptions of 240 works on Guiana. Sabin 56097. First edition. French Guiana French: Guyane française officially Guyane is an overseas department French: département d'outre-mer or DOM of France located on the northern coast of South America. It has borders with two nations Brazil and Suriname. Like the other DOMs French Guiana is also an overseas region of France one of the 26 regions of France. Its currency is the euro. The prefecture is Cayenne. The addition of the adjective "French" comes from colonial times when three such colonies existed: British Guiana now Guyana Dutch Guiana now Suriname and French Guiana. The three are still often collectively referred to as the Guianas. French Guiana was originally inhabited by a number of indigenous American people. It was settled by the French during the 17th century. After the Treaty of Paris in 1763 Louis XV sent 12000 settlers to French Guiana to colonise the region. One and a half years later only a few hundred survived.2 Its infamous Île du Diable Devil's Island was the site of penal settlements from 1852 until 1951. More than 70000 French convicts were deported to French Guiana between 1852 and 1939.3 In 1809 a Portuguese-British naval squadron took French Guiana for the Portuguese Empire. With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1814 the region was handed back to the French though a Portuguese presence remained until 1817. A border dispute with Brazil arose in the late nineteenth century over a vast area of jungle leading to the short-lived pro-French independent state of Counani in the disputed territory and some fighting between settlers before the dispute was resolved largely in favor of Brazil by the arbitration of the Swiss government.
