308 p. Light age stain. Deckle edges. 12mo. 210 mm. Original cloth spine over plain paper covered boards, worn. Original paper spine label. Loss at head of spine. Hardbound. Very Good. The Young Rifleman's Comrade may be a translation of the third volume of Maempel's 'Der junger Feldjager.' Edited by Goethe, an edition, says the translator, whose fame is even more extensively European than the adventures of the hero. The hero's adventures take him from Germany through France, Spain, Italy and England. The last part of the volume describes his shipwreck off the African coast near Mauritius, and his adventures before reaching safety. This English translation first appeared in London, 1826. It is attributed to John Kincaid (1787-1862). First American edition. SCARCE. S&S/AI 29614. PAIMP 23

With 2 etched plates the publisher's woodcut BM cypher monogram on the title page a woodcut tailpiece and 2 woodcut decorated initials. Second and rare edition of an account of two fatal voyages with two ships. The first voyage was made with the French East Indiaman Le Prince and was commanded by Captain Morin. On 19 February 1752 this ship left the port of Lorient sailing for Pondicherry. However initially the voyage went well on 26 April 1752 there was a fire in Le Prince. It spread fast and it also reached the gunpowder magazine. Therefore the ship exploded as the engraving shows and only 10 persons survived.The second account concerns the seizure of the Dutch ship Rustenwerk an East Indiaman of 650-ton. On 28 June 1752 this ship was taken by the pirate Frans Fransz after mooring of Ternate. He and his companions killed 12 people on board which is depicted in the engraving. The survivors of this violent seizure by Frans Fransz reached Batavia and they sailed to Holland. Although the VOC succeeded in retaking the ship Frans Fransz. Already escaped with the valuable cargo. A more historical addition to this report is the list it includes of 210 VOC ships lost in the period 1688-1752 through disasters mutiny and piracy. These two ships are cruel examples of how East Indiamen could be defeated by fate. After this first edition Mourik also published a second also undated edition with the same plates.

#[36142]'s Gravenhage Algemeene Landsdrukkerij 1882. Large 8vo. Original printed boards. With folding plate depicting the Adder and folding plate depicting the probable location of the wreck. II181 pp. The Adder was a Dutch ram monitor who sank on the North Sea off the coast of Scheveningen on Wednesday evening 5 July 1882. All 66 people on board were killed. The wreck was never recovered. There was a lot of criticism because it was delayed until Saturday before sending a ship to locate the Adder while the monitor was expected to be in Hellevoetsluis on Wednesday afternoon. This exceptionally slow course of action on the part of the Navy Department has been heavily criticized. A monitor was a relatively small warship which was neither fast nor strongly armored but carried disproportionately large guns. They were designed for shallow waters and served as coastal ships and used by some navies from the 1860s. - It is the largest peacetime loss of the Royal Netherlands Navy. Added 11 newspaper clippings from 1882-1883 on the shipwreck including 1 of the Bataviaasch Handelsblad. Cat. NHSM I p.483. hardcover
