Octavo 8" x 5" bound three quarter leather with raised spine bands and gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Edited by Sir Tancred Robinson. Second edition preferred over the first edition "because it has the chart of the western and southern oceans." Hill In 1699.<br /><br />First published in 1694 which contained only two maps The book is important because it contains one of the earliest English accounts of Abel Janszoon Tasman's famous voyage of 1642 from Batavia during which he discovered Tasmania and New Zealand and visited Tonga and Fiji Hill 1475.<br /><br />Rear Admiral Sir John Narborough RN was an English naval commander of the 17th century who served with distinction during the Anglo-Dutch Wars and against the Barbary Coast pirates. He was descended from an old Norfolk family. He received his commission in 1664 and in 1666 was promoted lieutenant for gallantry in the action with the Dutch fleet off the Downs in June of that year. After the peace he was chosen to conduct a voyage of exploration in the South Seas. He set sail from Deptford on November 26 1669 and entered the Straits of Magellan in October of the following year. In 1670 he visited Port Desire in Argentina and claimed the territory for the Kingdom of Great Britain but returned home in June 1671 without accomplishing his original purpose. A narrative of the expedition was published at London in 1694 under the title <i>An Account of several late Voyages and Discoveries to the South and North</i>. During the Third Anglo-Dutch War Narborough was second captain of the Lord High Admiral's ship the Prince and conducted himself with such conspicuous valor at the battle of Solebay Southwold Bay in May 1672 that he won special approbation and shortly afterwards was made rear-admiral and knighted. In 1675 he was sent to suppress the Tripoline piracies and by the bold expedient of dispatching gun-boats into the harbor of Tripoli at midnight and burning the ships he induced the them to agree to a treaty. Shortly after his return he undertook a similar expedition against the Algerians. In 1680 he was appointed commissioner of the Navy an office he held till his death. He was buried at Knowlton church Kent where a monument has been erected to his memory. The island of Fernadina the youngest and westernmost island of the Galapagos Archipelago was originally named 'Narborough Island' in his honor by the 17th century buccaneer William Ambrosia Cowley.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Marginal foxing soiling and damp staining through out paper fault across second C2 affecting one letter some rubbing hinges and corners else a better than good copy.

1789BOOKS006432xxx408 pages with frontispiece one additional plate and vocabulary of the Pelew language. Octavo 8 1/4" x 5 1/4" Original 3/4 leather with marbled boards and gilt lettering and red label to spine. Hill 907 & 816 Fourth edition.<br /><br />In 1783 the East India Company packet the Antelope out of Macao was shipwrecked on the Pelew islands now Pelau or Belau in the western Carolines in Micronesia. All the crew were saved and were the first Europeans to make contact with these islanders. They were lucky in that there was a Malay there shipwrecked the year before who was able to act as interpreter. Captain Henry Wilson and his crew developed unusually amicable relations with the Palauan inhabitants and participated in expeditions against their enemies. They were able to recover a great deal from the wreck and to build a new vessel with which they sailed to Macau after a stay of just over three months. They took with them Lee Boo who became a figure of fashionable interest in London. Using extensive interviews with Captain Wilson and other participants including Lee Boo George Keate wrote "An Account of the Pelew Islands". This work is distinctive in its account of the encounter between two cultures for its anthropologically-minded account of Palauan culture and society and as one of the fullest 18th-century accounts of a Pacific society. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Large folding map in need of repair but complete.

185421005Hartford: E.T. Pease & Co 1854. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. Pamphlet 51 pp sewn binding original printed wrappers. Some paper loss to spine and at corners binding tight text clean. On March 2 1854 a recently installed 50-horsepower steam boiler exploded at the railroad-car factory Fales & Gray Car Works in Hartford Connecticut. The explosion killed 16 men wounded many more destroyed the blacksmith shop and engine room and badly damaged the main building. Workmen were buried in the rubble when the roof and walls caved in and many were severely burned. An investigation commenced the following day and a jury heard six days of testimony from workers managers and the boiler manufacturer before concluding that the carelessness and inexperience of the boiler operator who was killed in the blast were to blame for the disaster. The jury recommended that City Council of Hartford pass legislation to regulate the placement and operation of boilers so that workers would be better protected. It was ten years before that occurred but a more immediate consequence was the establishment of the city's first hospital -- the need for which was made evident by the lack of facilities to treat all the blast victims. This pamphlet sold to raise money for the victims and their families includes a list of all men killed or wounded schematics of the boiler and plant layout transcripts of eyewitness testimony given before the Coroner's Jury and the Jury's recommendation for better training and workplace safety.

1761E6754xxxiii270215148xix1 pages 14 of 18 engraved plates maps many folding and index. Quarto 10 1/4" x 8 1/4" in original leather binding. First edition.<br /><br />Richard Owen Cambridge was a British poet. He was educated at Eton and at St John's College Oxford. Leaving the university without taking a degree he took up residence at Lincolns Inn in 1737. Four years later he married and went to live at his country seat of Whitminster Gloucestershire. In 1751 he removed to Twickenham where he enjoyed the society of many notable persons. Horace Walpole in his letters makes many jesting allusions to Cambridge in the character of news-monger. His chief work is the <i>Scribleriad</i> 1751 a mock epic poem the hero of which is the Martinus Scriblerus of Alexander Pope John Arbuthnot and Jonathan Swift. The poem is preceded by a dissertation on the mock heroic in which he avows Cervantes as his master. The satire shows considerable learning and was eagerly read by literary people; but it never became popular and the allusions always obscure have little interest for the present-day reader. He made a valuable contribution to history in his <i>Account of the War in India on the Coast of Coromandel from the year 1750 to 1760</i> 1761. He had intended to write a history of the rise and progress of British power in India but this enterprise went no further than this one work as he found that Robert Orme who had promised him the use of his papers contemplated the execution of a similar plan. The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge includes several pieces never before published. It contains an <i>Account of his Life and Character</i>by his Son George Owen Cambridge 1803 the Scribleriad some narrative and satirical poems and about twenty papers originally published in Edward Moore's paper The <i>World</i>. His poems are included in Alexander Chalmers' English Poets 1816.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Previous owner's name in neatly written dated 1806 on front end paper with his book plate on front past down with his library stamp.

182816639New York: Daniel Fanshaw 1828. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 8vo 10 pp disbound. Light foxing all else very good. Foundational document of the General Union which according to one modern scholar "marked a new departure in the annals of American reform. Like the American Temperance Society upon which it was closely modeled the General Union was intended to unite like-minded individuals from throughout the United States in a single cause. According to Massachusetts reformer William Lloyd Garrison this egalitarian approach to reform was destined to make the General Union 'the most efficient instrument in the cause of religion and public morality ever put into practice in any age and country.The linchpin of the General Union strategy was the Sabbatarian Pledge.Just as the American Temperance Society promoted complete abstinence from the evils of drink so the General Union would promote complete abstinence from the evils of Sabbath-breaking. By taking the Sabbatarian pledge General Union members bound themselves not only to abstain from all work travel and recreation on the Sabbath but also to boycott all transportation companies that operated on this day" John Spreading the News pp. 180-81. This pamphlet includes the General Union's Constitution minutes of its first convention held May 6. 1828 and a list of all delegates and officers as well as an address to the people of the United States on the importance of Sabbath observance in the maintenance of civil liberty.

182520637Boston: True and Greene 1825. First Edition. 22 pp complete with original wrappers but with the stitching perished so gatherings are loose. Pink staining to front wrapper edgewear otherwise very good. Scarce pamphlet criticizing monopolies in general and more specifically the factions who opposed a new toll-free bridge in Boston because it would be detrimental to the interests of those holding a charter and collecting tolls for the existing Charles River bridge. Moser's Daniel Webster bibliography attributes this eloquently written pamphlet to Massachusetts State Senator David Henshaw 1791-1852. We have not been able to confirm this but it seems reasonable given that he was one of the leaders of the Democratic Party in Boston belonged to a group of real estate investors who would benefit from population growth spurred by the proposed new bridge and "represented the growing group of Bostonians who were shut out from the traditionally privileged class" Haines and Sherwood Supreme Court in American Government and Politics p. 32. Daniel Webster was one of the attorney representing the interests of the Charles River Bridge Company which was incorporated in 1785. Ultimately in a landmark decision in favor of free enterprise Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge 1837 the Unites States Supreme Court ruled that the charter of the Charles River Bridge Company did not exclude the state of Massachusetts from chartering another bridge nearby.
