1844817D10London: William Pickering 1844. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 9" by 5.5". None. A scarce leather-bound copy of Charles Richardson's 'New Dictionary of the English Language' bound in a half-calf binding on marbled boards. Scarce Second Edition. Two volumes in one bound in a later half-calf binding with marbled boards. This is a nicely bound copy of Charles Richardson's 'New Dictionary of the English Language' first published from 1836 to 1837. This reference work was the first general dictionary which offered readers a 'full conspectus' of historical evidence paving the way for the popular Oxford English Dictionary. Interestingly Richardson believed in etymological meaning but with little or no historical basis. He would use many quotations in place of definitions and nodded to different aspects of English cultures and traditions. Contents of this work include the prefaces to Parts I and II supplementary notes as well as an errata page and 'additions and corrections' to the rear of text.Charles Richardson 1775-1865 was an English teacher lexicographer and linguist. Undated due to lack of title page dated using an identical copy with the same pagination from the Hathi Digital Trust Library. This particular edition's text is also displayed in double columns unlike the triple columns of the earlier editions. Collated bound without a title page. Bound in a later half-morocco binding with marbled boards. Externally excellent with fading to spine and minimal wear to head and tail of spine. Internally firmly bound. Pages are very clean with age-toning to pages and the odd spot and handling mark. Prior owner's pencil inscription to top of preface page. Very Good Indeed William Pickering hardcover

He traveled with John Franklin in search of the Northwest Passage on the Coppermine Expedition of 1819 1822. Richardson wrote the sections on geology botany and ichthyology for the official account of the expedition.</p><p>Franklin and Richardson returned to Canada in 1825 and went overland by fur trade routes to the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Franklin was to go as far west as possible and Richardson was to go east to the mouth of the Coppermine River. These were the only known points on the central coast and had been reached in 1793 and 1771 respectively. He had with him two specially-built boats which were more ocean-worthy than the voyageur canoes used by Franklin on his previous expedition. They gave their names to the Dolphin and Union Strait near the end of his route.</p><p>Richardson's journey was successful and he reached his furthest east the same day that Franklin reached his furthest west 16 August 1826. He abandoned his boats at Bloody Falls and trekked overland to Fort Franklin which he reached three weeks before Franklin. Together they had surveyed 1878 mi 3022 km of previously unmapped coast. The natural history discoveries of this expedition were so great that they had to be recorded in two separate works the <em>Flora Boreali-Americana</em> 1833-40 written by William Jackson Hooker and the <em>Fauna Boreali-Americana</em> 1829-37 written by Richardson William Swainson John Edward Gray and William Kirby.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Bindings heavily worn at spines and extremities some color restoration to boards board edges worn fps. with bookplate removal residue endleaves offset text and plates a bit toned folding map toned repaired and backed with paper else good.</p> Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans hardcover

1848168912London: Richard Bentley 1848. Richardson's explorations in the nineteenth century have been most unjustifiably neglected First edition of this detailed travelogue by an English explorer and abolitionist. Richardson 1806-1851 joined a Sahara-bound expedition leaving Tripoli in 1845 hoping to "gather information on the legitimate and slave trades in the interior and in the unfulfilled expectation that he would be made vice-consul at Ghadames a strategically important market town. From Ghadames he travelled to Ghat a very important slave market but there was forced by ill health and lack of equipment to turn back travelling via Fezzan and reaching England in 1846" ODNB. His account includes descriptions of the major cities in the Fezzan region trade routes and oases as well as the culture religion and traditions of the Tuaregs. Richardson also frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities. The Royal Geographical Society reviewed Richardson's Travels favourably upon publication: "These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors" p. lix. 2 vols octavo 215 x 130 mm.

184891137London: Richard Bentley 1848. First edition of this account of James Richardson's 1806-1851 first expedition to Africa. Richardson was an English explorer and ardent anti-slavery campaigner; he considered the slave trade to be "the most gigantic system of wickedness that world has ever seen" Wright Libya Chad and the Central Sahara p. 68. In 1845 Richardson joined a Sahara-bound expedition leaving Tripoli. With it he travelled to "Ghadames became the first European to visit Ghat and after a nine-month long and arduous journey through Fezzan arrived safely back in Tripoli" Embacher cataloguer's translation. His account includes descriptions of the major cities in the Fezzan region trade routes and oases as well as the culture religion and traditions of the Tuaregs. Richardson also frequently refers to the trans-Saharan slave trade and the position of slaves in local Tuareg communities a subject he had already discussed in his "Report on the Slave-Trade of the Great Desert" written for the Anti-Slavery Reporter and Aborigines' Friend upon his return to London in 1846. Upon publication the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society wrote of Richardson's Travels: "These volumes are useful contributions to our knowledge of the interior of the imperfectly known regions of Northern Africa; and they describe some hundreds of miles of desert routes over which no Europeans had previously passed as well as several of the cities of the Desert of which we had not before received accounts from European visitors" JRGS vol. 18 p. lix. 2 vols octavo 221 x 137 mm.
