1850réf. 4999EUROPEAN TRAVEL GUIDE FOR YOUNG READERS 12mo 240 pp with engraved title page frontispiece and 7 further acqua-forte engraved plates. Bound in original publisher's printed brown wrappers minor damage to spine clean and fresh and excellent and very genuine copy. With stamps likely a bookseller's to head of cover and title page "Rodi-Ferrario". Very good. Very rare first and only edition of this travel guide to Europe written as the title suggests for young readers in a pocket 12mo format. The guide moves from tours of Italy and Switzerland all the way to Poland Lithuania and Turkey as well as Great Britain providing 8 engraved plates of national costumes along the way. The charming illustrations depict: a young woman of 'Batz' Bath; a woman of Civita-Vechia Romagna; a citizen of Seville; a young woman of Gaeta Two Sicilies; a boatman from Le Havre a woman of Oberhash Switzerland; the Vizier of Constantinople; and finally a female Athenian. The commentary passes from the historical to contemporary details of travel between major destinations and occasional remarks of art-historical interest. Florence is noted to contain in the same breath the sepulcres of Galileo Aretino Machiavelli and Alfieri the latter having been sculpted by Canova p 72. England Scotland and Ireland are noted very much in passing: although the empire stretches 'to the Ganges' the islands themselves are accorded little interest. The guide does mention "the reknown of the univeristy of Oxford the most learned in England" with no mention however of its more easterly counterpart. Unrecorded in OCLC no U.S. copy traced.

Original publisher's blind-stamped green cloth lettered in gilt to spine. Lightly rubbed marked spine sunned. Internally clean and crisp. 'Let us all pray for New Zealand that it may please Almighty God to avert the evils of a civil war from this newly-acquired and interesting colony'. The sole edition of an authoritative work of ecclesiastical geography that provides a detailed account of the rise and progress of Protestant missions throughout the world. The anonymous compiler provides detailed information on the political and colonial history of the regions in which missionaries laboured as well as valuable accounts of the 'superstitions' of the natives including instances of human sacrifice the 'prevalence of Paganism and Mahommetanism' cannibalism and the practice of 'Devil-Worship'. The majority of the text is devoted to the missions of Africa and India though extensive chapters relate Christian efforts in inter alia the West Indies Australasia and North America. In regards to West Indies the author provides notices on the origin of the Slave Trade its abolition and the death of the 'ever-to-be revered Mr. Wilberforce'. The chapter concerning North America is predominantly dedicated to Canada in particular the operations of the Hudson's Bay Fur Companies and the 'Native Indians of these Territories favourable to British trade'. The chapter concerning Australasia is divided between New Holland and New Zealand and notably include remarks in character and appearance of the Aborigines and 'the most warlike savages in the world' the New Zealanders respectively. The section on New Zealand strikingly concludes with a brief account of the eruption of conflicts between British and native forces that would prove to be the initial sorties of the bloody and protracted New Zealand Wars. .

1810réf. 10330Toto Tokyo: Suharaya Bunka 7 1810. First edition. 18x12cm 84 leaves plus printed pastedowns. 27 leaves include woodcut illustrations. Original Japanese stitched wrappers with printed paper title label recently resewn. Worming with several leaves properly repaired with tissue lining inside the folded leaves and a couple of less skillful marginal repairs; loss limited to a few characters here and there. A remarkable book apparently the first Japanese work devoted specifically to detailed practical advice for travelers. Roan offers 61 pieces of hard-earned advice on travel including what to wear and carry health and medicines how to behave on the road and what to do when arriving at an inn first find the toilet and check all the exits. There are warnings against cheap booze and inn prostitutes explanations on how to break in straw sandals and treat blisters and advice on finding one's way if bewitched by foxes or badgers. The clue for avoiding seasickness is simple: don't get on a boat unless there is no other choice. Japan had plenty of guidebooks before this but nothing quite like Roan's practical handbook for the traveler himself a type of book with few parallels anywhere until later in the nineteenth century.
