Condizione: Fine. Second Edition. xxix,(7)191;223,(1) pp. Octavo (200 X 125 mm) Bound in 20th century half blue morocco and blue cloth. Spine ruled in 6 compartments. Gilt title. Blue cloth endpapers to match. Bookplate on front pastedown and rear of endpaper. Folding map used as a frontispiece. Two other folding maps. 19 engraved plates including 7 folding. A few of the plates have old minor repairs on the fold lines. Generally a clean attractive copy in a modern binding. A very interesting copy of this title with a great early provenance. The first bookplate is for the collection of Bassett Jones. The bookplate is based on an illustration out of one of William Edward Parry's books. It shows the Hecla and the Griper locked in the ice. Jones was a very early polar collector and his collection was the bases of an exhibit at the Grolier Club in 1932. His collection was sold to Columbia University in 1944. Over years I have seen maybe 5 volumes with the bookplate in them. It would seem either Jones disposed of a few items over the years or perhaps the university had duplicated. This copy has an interesting letter laid in loosely. The letter gives the book to Jones's friend Dr. Charles Conydon as he had upgraded to a first edition from the second edition. This was done in 1937. Jones also say he was the person that had it rebound! The second bookplate is from noted English polar book collector Richard Campbell.…

Extracts taken from Tasman's own journal describe this expedition.The remaining journey's are narrated in first person from unidentified journals, with the introduction remarking on 'the advantages of keeping judicious journals in voyages and itineraries' due to the 'improvement of Geography, Hydrography, Astronomy, Natural and Moral History', which these accounts can afford later readers.With nineteen beautifully illustrated plates, four of which are folding.

The preferred extended second edition of a work that presents one of the earliest English accounts of Abel Tasman's 1642 voyage to Tonga and Fiji. Tasman was also the first European to reach Tasmania and New Zealand. In addition there is a detailed description of Narbrough's passage in the Batchelour through the Straits of Magellan into the South Pacific and on to Chile. He successfully proved that trade with South America could be profitable without Spanish oversight, which influenced Britain's foreign policy for the next half century. This edition is more desirable with the additional chart of the western and southern oceans, not present in the first edition, and added text relating to whaling off Greenland. Second edition; 8vo (20 x 12.5 cm); 3 folding engraved maps, 19 engraved plates, of which 7 folding, some unobtrusive marginal staining, discreet contemporary annotations to margins, lower left corner of title with small tear but not text lost; contemporary panelled sprinkled calf, professionally rebacked to style with endpapers renewed, all edges speckled red, a little wear, a very good copy; [2], xvi, xxi-xxix, [7], 191, [1], 223, [1] pp. Hill, 1476; Howgego I, N3; Sabin 72186.…

First edition. Title-page in black & red. 2 engraved folding maps, folding table, 19 engraved plates (7 folding). 8vo. Contemporary panelled calf, rebacked with red morocco label to spine. Housed in a quarter morocco slipcase and chemise, gilt. xxix, [7], 196, 207, [1]pp. London, Sam Smith & Benj. Watford Printers to the Royal Society, Edited by Sir Tancred Robinson, and dedicated to Samuel Pepys, this compilation of four voyages is known chiefly for its inclusion of John Narborough's account of his voyage through the Straits of Magellan into the Pacific. Robinson's introduction seeks to place his volume in the context of the likes of Hakluyt and Ramusio and includes a brief history of previous explorers such as Magellan, Drake, Quiros, Schouten, Hawkins, Barentz, Sharp et al.   Hill states that this work is of "particular interest because of its description of Narborough's passage in the Batchelour through the Straits of Magellen and into the South Pacific to Chile, which was much read by later navigators. Narbrough sailed in 1669 with a commission to explore the west coast of the Americas and to look for the western opening of the North-west passage. He also tried to trade in Chile but failed in this endeavour and turned back at Valdivia. His charts of the Strait of Magellan were superior to older ones." Narborough's account is 129pp.   The work is of added interest as it includes one of the earliest accounts in English of Abel Tasman's 1642 voyage upon which he discovered both Tasmania and New Zealand. He also made stops at Tonga and Fiji.   There are two further accounts. The first is a search for the north-east passage by John Wood, who sought a passage to Asia in 1676. He sailed on the Speedwell and was accompanied by William Flawes on the Properous. Their passage was prevented by pack ice at 75'59N. They reached the west coast of Nova Zembla where the Speedwell was wrecked. The crew survived the nine-day wait for the Prosperous and were rescued and returned to England. The second is a lengthy account of the voyage by Frederick Martens to Spitzbergen and Greenland undertaken in 1671.   Alden & Landis 694/155; Hill, 1475; Howgego I, N3, W54; Sabin, 72185; Wing N-154. …
