Good with overall toning. 8vo x 2 1 - 252 pp. There are some additional autograph navigational notes on the rear endpaper along with a signature of A T Quijano. Baron Melvill was an officer in the Dutch Royal Navy. The book offered here is based on his experience and research. The research was enhanced by efforts of the Dutch Governor-General of the Indies van der Capellen who in 1821 established a commission in Batavia to collect sailing instructions and reports for the Indies. The combined resources resulted in the book offered here. It is supplemented by the work of Lt. H D Smits Hydrographer at Batavia who covered the islands east of Java. Smits' work was first published in Batavia in 1848 in both Dutch and English and preceded by a rare illustrated pamphlet on the Banka and Gaspar straits printed at Singapore in 1847. Smits " . availed himself of every source of information within his reach; and his descriptions of that chain of islands however brief his directions for the channels between them and his judicious hints about the monsoons and currents cannot fail of being highly useful when crossing that imperfectly explored region."

ref. 26003London : The Orient Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. 13 Fenchurch Avenue E.C. 1880. Folio 420 x 265 mm bifolium 3 pp folding to 265 x 105 mm with printed title to outer side; original share application form still loosely enclosed; outer side a little dusty but a near fine example. 'The Orient Steam Navigation Company was established in 1878 and jointly managed by the London shipowning firms of Anderson Anderson and Company and F. Green and Company until 1919 when the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company acquired a controlling interest in its shareholding capital; at approximately the same time the dual management of the undertaking by the Anderson and Green companies came to an end and the two businesses were merged into a private limited company formed for the purpose Anderson Green and Company Limited. The Orient company was a small enterprise operating a handful of very large ships in virtually one trade the mail and passenger service to Australia and New Zealand. In due course it provided a co-ordinated service in this region with ships of the P&O fleet; in later years similarly in collaboration with P&O a passenger service between North American ports and Australia and New Zealand was instituted and in attempts to promote passenger traffic in the Pacific a series of voyages between North America the Far East and Australia were inaugurated. The company's ships were also extensively employed in ocean cruising.' Royal Museums Greenwich Internal references date this very early Company prospectus to 1880. Trove locates no copies. unknown
