18010065London, T. Gillet, 1801. Second edition. In English. Octavo, 215 x 136 mm, 328 pp., bound in half-calf buckram with red-ochre corners and colored boards, author's name and title in gilt with tailpiece motifs. Header edges. Folding map of the Rio de la Plata. Stamp of the library of the "Sociedade Brasileira de Cultura Inglesa" with book number and the mention "1959" in blue ballpoint pen on the back of the first page of the preface. Preface, table of contents, numerous illustrations throughout the book, and an index of subscribers. The binding is in excellent condition, the slightly yellowish-gray paper is intact and entirely legible. This book recounts the ill-fated second voyage of the Duff, a missionary ship en route to the South Sea Islands in 1798. It was only the second attempt at a missionary voyage to the Pacific. A year earlier, the Duff had successfully undertaken its first voyage, settling members of the London Missionary Society and their families on the islands of Tahiti, Tonga, and the Marquesas. However, this second attempt ended in disastrous failure. Captured first by a French privateer who mistook the Duff for a ship carrying Governor King to Australia, and then again by a Portuguese fleet, the group was forced to return to Lisbon, and William Gregory returned to England in 1800. William Gregory describes the details of his treatment in captivity, life in Spanish America (Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay), as well as indigenous life in the "enemy port" of Montevideo and the surrounding rich estuary of the Rio de la Plata, its "products, inhabitants, clothing, customs, commerce [and] religion." *************************************** Londres, T. Gillet, 1801. Seconde édition. En anglais. In-8 de 215 x 136 mm, 328 pp., relié demi-veau en percaline à coins ocre-rouge avec plats colorés, nom d'auteur et titre en doré avec motifs de type cul-de-lampe. Tranchefile. Carte dépliante du Rio de la Plata. Tampon de la bibliothèque de la "Sociedade Brasileira de Cultura Inglesa" avec numéro de livre et mention "1959" au stylo bille bleu en revers de la première page de la préface. Préface, table des matières, nombreuses illustrations tout au long du livre et index des souscripteurs. La reliure est en excellent état, le papier un peu jaune-gris intègre et entièrement lisible. Ce livre raconte le deuxième voyage malheureux du Duff, navire missionnaire en route vers les îles des mers du Sud en 1798. Ce n'était que la deuxième tentative de voyage missionnaire dans le Pacifique. Un an plus tôt, le Duff avait entrepris avec succès son premier voyage et abouti sur l'installation des membres de la London Missionary Society et de leurs familles sur les îles de Tahiti, de Tonga et les Marquises. En revanche, cette seconde tentative se soldera par un échec désastreux. Capturé d'abord par un corsaire français qui prit le Duff pour un navire emmenant le gouverneur King en Australie, puis une seconde fois par une flotte portugaise, le groupe fut contraint de retourner à Lisbonne et William Gregory regagnera l'Angleterre en 1800. William Gregory décrit les détails de son traitement en captivité, la vie en Amérique espagnole (Uruguay, Argentine, Paraguay) ainsi que la vie indigène dans le « port ennemi » de Montevideo et le riche estuaire environnant du Rio de la Plata, ses « produits, habitants, vêtements, coutumes, commerce [et] religion ».
18540078London, Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1854. First edition. Octavo, 228 x 150 mm, (vi) 384 pp. Publisher's binding, work on the covers, flat spine, author's name and title printed in slightly faded gilt. Portrait of Dom Pedro II as frontispiece. Illustrated by Sir W. Gore Ouseley, KCB, and Sir Charles Hotham, KCB, for Paraguay. Contents, Explanatory Preface, Introduction, 15 chapters plus an additional chapter on the Falkland Islands, two fold-out maps (one of the Falkland Islands and one of colored South America) at the end of the book. "The author wishes here to present an overview of the position and condition of Brazil in general, to accustom those who follow him in these pages to recognize the points he will expound as a result of his experience, particularly concerning the machinery of commercial matters in Brazil... Men competent to speak of Brazil have either assumed that the public knew almost as much as they did, and neglected very interesting subjects, thinking they meant little, and talking too much about the trivialities of their personal journey, or, on the contrary, have applied an exhaustive process to discuss history and topography in an almost intolerable level of detail. The author of these lines... has endeavored to navigate between these two extremes as much as he could." (Chapter V, translated) A lavishly illustrated, almost complete work (descriptions generally indicate three fold-out maps; this one includes two), which allows us to follow the evolution of imperial Brazil after works such as those of Henry Koster or Saint-Hilaire. ****** Londres, Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1854. Édition originale. In-8, 228 x 150 mm, (vi) 384 pp. Reliure éditeur, travail sur les plats, dos lisse, nom d'auteur et titre imprimés en doré quelque peu effacé. Portrait de Dom Pedro II en frontispice. Illustré par Sir W. Gore Ouseley, KCB, et Sir Charles Hotham, KCB, pour le Paraguay. Sommaire, Préface explicative, Introduction, XV chapitres plus un chapitre supplémentaire sur les îles Falkland, deux cartes dépliantes (une des Falkland et une de l'Amérique du Sud colorée) en fin d'ouvrage. "L'auteur souhaite ici présenter un aperçu de la position et de la condition du Brésil en général, pour habituer ceux qui le suivront dans ces pages à reconnaître les points qu'il va exposer à la suite de son expérience, en particulier concernant la machinerie des sujets commerciaux au Brésil... les hommes compétents pour parler du Brésil ont soit présumé que le public en savait presque autant qu'eux, et négligé des sujets très intéressants, en pensant qu'ils ne signifiaient pas grand-chose, et en parlant trop des trivialités de leur voyage personnel, ou au contraire ont appliqué un processus exhaustif pour parler de l'histoire et de la topographie avec un niveau de détail presque intolérable. L'auteur de ces lignes... s'est efforcé de naviguer entre ces deux extrêmes autant qu'il l'a pu." (chap. V, traduit) Ouvrage abondamment illustré, quasi complet (les descriptions indiquent généralement 3 cartes dépliantes, celui-ci en comprend 2), qui permet de suivre l'évolution du Brésil impérial après des œuvres comme celle d'Henry Koster ou de Saint-Hilaire.
185017142<p>Philadelphia: Fisher and Brother n.d. ca. 1850 Later edition. First published by Truman Smith and Co. in 1834. Later editions of the present work are often misdated as 1834 because of the copyright date on the verso of the title- page but Ruth E. Adomeit gives a date range of 1850 to 1875 for these later editions Three Centuries of Thumb Bibles A80. The physical properties of this particular copy indicate that it was published the earlier end of the range around 1850. . Publisher's purple cloth with gilt-titled spine and design of a child's head blindstamped on lower board. . Miniature book 17/8" x 21/8". . With a woodcut frontispiece title-page vignette and twenty-seven full-page illustrations all printed in black. Engravings by Alexander Anderson 1775 – 1870. Binding slightly loose. Some light foxing.

188528792Oxford: Printed at the Private Press of H. Daniel 1885 1885. First Daniel Press edition number 45 of 150 numbered copies. NCBEL I 1699. Vellum and boards somewhat rubbed and soiled; text fine though some signatures are lightly printed. 4to original quarter vellum blue paper boards untrimmed. An interesting later edition of a play originally entitled A Cure for the Cuckhold: A Pleasant Comedy published by bookseller Francis Kirkman in 1661 and perhaps speciously attributed to John Webster and William Rowley. Later critics Edmund Gosse among them thought that Rowley's contribution was crude he was "a rough playwright of the Jacobean age" and that Webster's part of the play stood alone as a "charming domestic drama of English country life." Gosse with the help of S. Spring-Rice and the printer Henry Daniel sought to correct that and they published this edition under the new title Love's Graduate: A Comedy which omitted the contributions attributed to Rowley. In the Prefatory Essay Gosse explains his editorial decisions and the play's history. He does not question the attribution though ESTC notes that it is doubtful. Bookplate of the Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type Founders Company on the front paste-down. Oxford: Printed at the Private Press of H. Daniel, 1885 unknown
