Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. The First Published Account of Cook's First Voyage to the Pacific, complete with Dedication Leaf. A cornerstone of any Cook collection. Two works in one, bound in modern, to style, half calf over marbled boards, some blind edge tooling, spine with raised bands, gilt tooling, gilt ti…tles to red calf labels. Internally, Journal of a Voyage, 1771, First Edition, First Issue with the Dedication and printers instructions, plus the two 'Otahitee Vocabulary' leaves bound in at end. BOUND AFTER: Description of East-Florida, 1769, Third Edition much enlarged (2 parts in one), 3 folding engraved maps, title with small library ink-stamp & repair to fore margin, small ink correction to C3v, professional repairs to maps, some loss to the first, occasional small stain, some soiling and light browning, scattered spotting. (281*214 mm). Folding map frontis, [2] title & dedication, [1], (ii-viii); Stork - Description of East Florida, [1], 2-40, 1 folding map; Bartrams Journal, [1], (xii), 35 pp, [1] errata & binders list,1 folding map; Magra's Voyage, [1] title, [2] dedication, [1], 2-130 pp, [3] Vocabulary of the Language of the Otahitee. The 3 folding maps, engraved by T. Jefferys, are: 1.East Florida. 2.St. Augustine the Capital of East Florida. 3.The Bay of Espiritu Santo, in East Florida. (Signatures: East-Florida - 2ff, b-b4, B-G1. *G-*G2, 2ff, H-M4. Voyage round the World - 2ff, B-S1, 2ff Vocab). Public appetite for a detailed narrative encouraged a publishing race, of which this work, published less than three months after the expedition's return to England and almost two years prior to Hawkesworth's authorised version, was the winner. This first issue containing the dedication leaf was swiftly withdrawn following the publicly advertised consternation of the dedicatees, the Admiralty, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander. Published anonymously, the work is generally attributed to James Magra, an American mid-shipman aboard. (Hill II:1066(without dedication leaf); Hocken p9; Holmes 3; O'Rielly-Reitman 362; Sabin 4246 & 16242; DuRietz-catalogue of the Kroepelien Collection p215; Frost Life of James Mario Matra: Voyager with Cook 1995; Beddie 693/4; STC T29207). The work is a short, but interesting narrative of Cook's first voyage, which relates his visits to Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia, New Guinea, Batavia, and Rio de Janeiro. The author is noteworthy because he is one of the few to criticize Cook in any meaningful way. Despite problems with the accuracy of the text, this work will always hold the place of being the first account of that voyage and the first account in print of the Australian coast. (in translation, it also gave the French their first account of that voyage). JEFFERYS Thomas (illustratore).

Modern green morocco backed green cloth. "among the most important…sources for the history of East Florida" (Streeter). Third edition of Stork's account, second edition of celebrated botanist John Bartram's "Journal.": "Bartram's scientific and commercial endeavors flourished in the 1750s and 1760s, his botanical supply business providing the income and incentive to enable him to travel ever wider in search of new specimens. In 1765, the aging Bartram set sail from Philadelphia to join his son, William, in Charleston to begin a botanical and scientific survey of the South. From Charleston, they traveled overland to Saint Augustine and Fort Picolata on the Saint John's River, and from there, by canoe and foot throughout the extensive drainage basin. Like many natural histories, Stork's tract is part promotional, part natural historical. A knowledge of flora and fauna was essential for successful -- and profitable -- settlement, and writers and land owners stood to profit personally from an increase in interest. Adding to a promising description of Saint Augustine, and chapters on the climate, soil, and animal and plant life, Stork included bullish tracts on the potential in Florida for the cultivation of rice, cotton, silk, sugar, indigo, and other profitable crops. On the same latitude as the productive English colonies in Bengal and China, the warm climate of Florida made silk culture particularly likely, whereas in "Carolina and Georgia the worms are often injured by accidental frosts" (American Philosophical Library online).

Aggiungi al carrello[STORK, William] and BARTRAM, John. Account of East-Florida, with A Journal Kept by John Bartram of Philadelphia, Botanist to His Majesty for the Floridas; upon A Journey from St. Augustine up the River St. John's. London: W. Nicoll and G. Woodfall, [1766]. [6],xxii,23-90;viii,70pp. Antique-style gilt-ruled full calf, giltruled…raised spine bands, red and black morocco spine labels. A fine copy. Howes S-1042, "b." Streeter Sale 1183. Reese, The Struggle for North America 78 (ref.). This is a re-issue of the first edition sheets of Stork, with a new title page and with Bartram's account printed for the first time. William Stork, a member of the Royal Society and a German botanist, wrote his account as an early promotion of Florida real estate describing its attractions for settlers in its climate, flora and fauna, and rich soil. He emphasized the potential for growing rice, sugar, cotton and other cash crops. This edition is noteworthy for the addition of John Bartram's botanical account. Though Bartram (1699-1777) had little formal education, Linnaeus called him "the greatest natural botanist in the world." His botanical gardens, where he cultivated seeds from all over the world, still stand in Philadelphia. When, late in life, he was appointed the Botanist Royal for North America by King George III, the 50 pounds annual stipend allowed him to make expeditions like this one to Florida, which he made accompanied by his son, William. They traveled from St. Augustine to Picolate on the St. John's, noting the climate, soil, trees such as the royal palm, locations for possible fortifications, animals, etc. The Streeter catalogue says of this volume "both are among the most important sources for the history of East Florida.".
