Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Quarto. Original blue cloth which has been rebacked retaining the original spine label. Slightly rubbed to the edges but tight and firm. Pp. (8) + xxxiii + (1) + 740. Includes 24 engraved plates as called for (including 3 hand-coloured), 6 maps, two of which are folding. Armorial bookplate of Hans Sloane Stanley to front pastedown. Hinges neatly repaired. Large folding map fold reinforced with tape to verso. Occasional foxing but pages and plates generally nice and clean. Whilst the expedition's ship, Victory had to be abandoned in 1832, and the party rescued in 1833, the most significant achievement was Captain James Clark Ross's discovery of the magnetic North Pole. This copy includes the signature of Captain James Clark Ross (on a sheet of writing paper) lightly tipped onto the front free endpaper at the top-edge only. It is dated 'Hull, 8th Sept (18)53.' His signature is exceptionally scarce in any form and he remains a highly important figure in the history of polar exploration. The Ross Ice Shelf in the Antarctic is named after him after he discovered it in 1841. Overall a very good copy. Scarce thus. Signed by Author(s).

Second Edition. (xxiii)68pp. Quarto. 28 x 22 cm. Nonpareil colored marble boards. Black leather spine and corners. Spine has six panels and five raised bands. Gilt lettering on spine. Bookplate on front pastedown paper. Frontispiece and title page are a bit foxed, otherwise the text is very clean. Slight old repaired tear on the frontispiece. Original frontispiece plate tissue. Thirty-one illustrations. Errata slip before the text. Slightly bumped corners and spine. In very good condition. Captain John Ross (1777-1856), who was a Royal Navy Officer, first wrote A Treatise On Navigation By Steam in 1828, a year before his second Arctic Expedition. He is the first naval officer to write about steam engines. This second edition was reprinted after the second Arctic expedition by a less known publisher and appears to be scarcer. Only two copies of this edition found on copac. In this work, Ross attempts to show the merits of the use of steam engines. Mid-nineteenth century inscription on title page. It would appear the motivation for reprinting the title could be the pamphlet war that Ross had with John Braithwaite regarding the boilers on the Victory. A nice copy of a very scarce Ross title.

Provenance: neat ownership inscription in ink of R.T. Creighton, dated April 1844 on title page. Also gift inscription from Lady Rivett-Carnac, 1st April 1844 (James Rivett-Carnac had distinguished career in the military, a Director/Chairman of the East India Company and Baronet in 1836. Elected Member of Parliament for Sandwich, and Governor of the Bombay Presidency in 1839). Most important association with Bert Plimer (1929-2009). Plimer (Franklin Search bookplate laid in & letters pencilled on the endpaper), born in North Berwick, Scotland. At sixteen he joined the British Army, moved to Ottawa in the 1950s, where as a photojournalist and freelance camera man and film maker, he founded Plimer Productions Limited. Bert's interest in the Arctic, particularly the NorthWest Passage began about 1975 & led to avid research, especially on the search for Franklin. Bert looked for the finest copy available & created the greatest collection of rare books on the subject. Captain John Ross (1777-1856), is the first naval officer to write about steam engines. His Treatise on Navigation, published the year before he sailed on his second voyage in search of the Northwest Passage, was much in advance of its time, and forerunner of many similar works.The natural conservatism of sailors, combined with the unreliability of early engines, had created a great prejudice against steam in the Royal Navy.In this work, Ross attempts to show the merits of the use of steam engines. Sir John Ross made two attempts between 1818 and 1833 to find the North West Passage and, like so many others, failed. He was knighted anyway. He also made one of the many attempts to find the missing Franklin expedition later. Like all early attempts to find Franklin, this was unsuccessful too. [N]o vessel, explained John Ross, a captain in the Royal Navy, can ever be constructed to sail in direct opposition to the wind. A steamer could run straight into any wind without drifting off course. Impelled by a source of energy utterly extraneous to local weather conditions, it went wherever its commander decreed. In this book, Ross suggested that stokers were so essential to the smooth running of the ship's engines he advocated that they should be: "Employed solely on their duties in the boiler room and are to be relieved every two hours and awarded a double quantity of beer or other beverage while so employed". Ross recommended stokers be regularly bred for their calling, arguing that it was a mistake to believe that ordinary seamen were able to tend the fire as well as a qualified stoker. Moreover, he argued that by keeping a better fire, a stoker would be able to apply a more steady heat on the boiler, which would result in considerable fuel savings. Ross was also influential in recommending the minimum levels of manning for steam vessels by stipulating that every steam-fitted ship would require one head-engineer, one assistant engineer, and one head foreman. With ships fitted with engines rated up to forty-horsepower, Ross calculated that three stokers would be sufficient, with an extra stoker added to the complement for every additional twenty-horsepower delivered. Scarce edition in commerce.
