hardback with dustjacket. limited, numbered edition. The 1848-1856 Great Survey of New Zealand, carried out initially by Captain John Stokes in HMS Acheron between 1848-51 and completed by Commander Byron Drury in HMS Pandora between 1851-56, yielded "one of the most magnificent of the many productions of the English Navy". An opinion first expressed in 1864 and just as valid today. Equally, in their time, the two surveys played a significant role in the successful settlement of Europeans in New Zealand and its subsequent economic development. Though the story of the initial phase of that monumental undertaking was told twenty-nine years ago, the full story of its completion by Drury remained unrecorded. To rectify this oversight, the author of The Riddle of the Kaipara, Wing of the Manukau, and The Unknown Kaipara, spent four years researching and writing his latest book: The Pandora survey. This long overdue book not only provides a comprehensive history of the Pandora Survey, together with details of its findings along the coastline between New Plymouth to Doubtless Bay; Mercury Bay to Cape Kidnappers; and parts of the Hauraki Gulf and Marlborough Sounds; it also explores the origins of the Great Survey and looks into selected aspects of the Acheron Survey. #60 of an edition of 500 copies, signed by the author. Light foxing to page edges, endpapers, nick to paper on upper edge of front board.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Irish Edition. First Irish edition, following the London edition released the same year (Pine-Coffin 784.5). Rebound in quarter linen with new end sheets, modern owner bookplate on front endpaper, faintly foxed throughout. 1789 Hard Cover. vii, [1], 592 pp. 8vo. An 18th century travelogue based on the author's Grand Tour, which was originally published in two volumes in London in 1789. Piozzi was born Hester Lynch Salusbury and previously married to brewer Henry Thrale. She was a member of one of the wealthiest Welsh families of the time, though poor investments led to her father's bankruptcy, which compelled her to marry Thrale. Through the use of his fortune, she became a prominent patron of the arts, and known for her diaries and letters, which would later become an important scholarly source for those studying Samuel Johnson (she met Johnson after becoming a member of London society, the two traveled together, and Johnson wrote her two pieces of verse). She also published a volume about Johnson entitled Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson in 1786.

Prima edizione
Leather-bound. Condizione: Very Good. First Dublin Edition. Octavo, 5 x 8.1 in., pp. vi + 592. Contemporary full calf with title on red panel and gilt double-bars to spine. Rubbing to extremities. 2 1/12 inch cut in leather to lower right corner. Leather has lifted off front board leaving a wrinkle in lower right quadrant. Leather chipped at top right corner; corners are peeping. Scuffing to rear board; chips to top and lower edges of rear board. Hinges repaired; crack in spine repaired, but visible. Interior unmarked and in very good condition. Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi (née Salusbury; 27 January 1741 or 16 January 1740 - 2 May 1821), a Welsh-born diarist, author and patron of the arts, is an important source on Samuel Johnson and 18th-century English life. She belonged to the prominent Salusbury family, Anglo-Welsh landowners, and married first a wealthy brewer, Henry Thrale, then a music teacher, Gabriel Mario Piozzi. Her Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson (1786) and her diary Thraliana, published posthumously in 1942, are the main works for which she is remembered. She also wrote a popular history book and a dictionary. She has been seen as a protofeminist. --- ".The only daughter of an impoverished Welsh family, she received an excellent education "although Education was a Word then unknown, as applied to Females" (Thraliana). At the age of sixteen she could read and write fluently in French, Italian and Spanish, and began studying Hebrew at the age of seventy, clearly portraying her strong, life-long interest in different cultures and languages."

Prima edizione
First Dublin Edition. Octavo, contemporary marbled boards, rebacked, with calf, old contrasting leather title label lettered in gilt on spine. Pp. [i]-[v], vi-viii, [ix], x-xii, xv-xvi, xiii-xiv, [1], 2- 527, [528-532: blanks]. Mispaginated (leaf xiii-xiv bound in after xv-xvi), but complete with half-title. marbled boards quite heavily rubbed, worn at corners some internal stains, a good to very good copy. Quite pleasing, actually. First Irish edition, published in the same year as the London edition. THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF COOK. The first edition of this highly influential first English biography of Cook by the Anglican clergyman Kippis, one of the leading biographers of his day. In addition to describing the three great voyages in depth, Kippis also deals with Cook's earlier experiences, including his duties aboard the Mercury during the siege of Quebec, and his Newfoundland and Labrador surveys. Most of Samwell's narrative of Cook's death is included as well. While Kippis did not appear to be entirely insensitive to the long-term effects of European contact with Pacific peoples, he championed Cook's humanitarian, cultural and intellectual mission in the circumnavigation of the globe. In a study of European exploration of the Pacific, Lynne Withey concluded that this volume by Kippis became a prominent justification for the involvement of Europeans in the Pacific islands for years after Cook's death (Withey 406-407). The second appendix includes "The Moral, an Ode," by the British poet, novelist, and religious dissenter Helen Maria Williams, an old family friend of Kippis.
