1795M541Amsterdam 1795. Very Good; upper left margin extended. Notes: A chart of New South Wales or the East coast of New Holland. Discovered and explored by Lieutenant James Cook commander of his Majesty's Bark Endeavour in the year 1771. After a slow and hazardous passage through the Reef the Endeavour arrived at 'York Cape' which Cook named after the recently dead Duke of York. On Possession Island just off the tip of the Cape he took possession of the east coast of Australia from Cape York to latitude 38 degree south in the name of George III. Confident that this land 'was never seen or visited by any European before us' he hoisted the English colours and named it New South Wales.This was in August 1770; sailing on through the Torres Strait he arrived home in1771. For the British people. Cook's voyages had staked a claim to a new continent. His prestige as a discoverer was much higher as it had been given before his death. Important world maps for many years paid tribute to Cook by showing the tracks of his ships. Perhaps the greatest admiration for Cook's exploits was aroused in France.The story of his first voyage along with his chart of New South Wales was published in 1773 and translated immediately into French under the auspices of the geographer Gilles Robert de Vaugondy.

PROVENANCE: With the period engraved armorial bookplate of Joannes Cook MD featuring the motto 'Suum cuique'. 'John Cook 1704-1777 was born in Leigh the son of John Cook senior and Elizabeth Tomson. When he was eight years old he was sent to Latin School in Bathgate Lothian Scotland and later to Edinburgh. He returned to Leigh in 1721 and worked as an apothecary in his father's shop before moving to London in 1724 and entering St Thomas' Hospital in 1725. Upon completion of his medical training he gained a position in Burnham. Cook returned to Leigh in 1726 and married Susannah Heber a year later. A daughter Susannah was born in 1729 but both wife and daughter died later in 1729. At Leigh he worked as both a medical practitioner and a coal merchant. In 1730 his book An Anatomical and Mechanical Essay On The Whole Animal Oeconomy was published in two volumes and copies were presented to the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh and the Royal Society London. Cook also published a number of articles in various magazines and journals including 85 in the London Magazine. In 1732 he was awarded the degree of MD at St Andrew's University. Cook later married Elizabeth Bradley and had approximately 15 children'. Essex Records Office. W. Meadows unknown

1748355490723990London 1748. Hard Cover. London: Printed for the Author at Mrs Wharton's Toy-Shop nd 1748. The scarce third edition of this important and immensely popular cookery book by Hannah Glasse dated from 1748 as per ESTC. 330 pages. All publication information was taken from ESTC Reference T163724. First published in 1747. This cookbook was extremely popular upon publication and ran through at least forty editions some unauthorised. Written in plain and simple language for servants to understand and follow instructions easily it contains various useful hints for the kitchen with numerous recipes and techniques such as roasting boiling simple dishes for dinner dressing soups side dishes puddings sausages and more.Including directions for the sick and on distilling as well as such recipes to keep bugs away. Oberlé notes that the author "Severely condemns the extravagance of French cooking" although some French recipes are included in this book. Including an extensive list of subscribers at the front of the book. This copy has benefitted from a recent sympathetic and sumptuous re-bind in half brown morocco with title in gold to red label on panel 2. Foxing to the page block edges which has crept into the text block in places particularly to the early/late pages of the book. The title page - usually found missing - is present. Neat name in ink to the title page. The Art of Cookery is noteworthy for its emphasis on precision of cooking times and directions and clarity and simplicity of language. It went on to become the most successful and influential cookery book of the later half of the Eighteenth Century. NB: Glasse's authorship revealed in the fourth edition was disputed until 1937. Photographs/scans available upon request. hardcover
1785267711785. Very Good. Engraving of A View of Karakakooa in Owyhee. Remargined paper size 15 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches 38.5 x 27.3 cm. Professionally remargined and laid down on tissue by Green Dragon bindery. We think the first edition of this engraving was created by John Webber engraved by W. Byrne and published in the atlas plate 68 to accompany "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean London: W. and A. Strahan for G. Nicol 1784."<br/><br/>This example is smaller lightly tinted and rather than being engraved by Byrne is marked "Taylor sculp" lower right. In pencil it is marked on rear "opposite p. 577 Cooks' Voyages 1785 edition". We have been unable to trace to our satisfaction exactly where this engraving was published. It is nonetheless a famous scene and desirable to those who collect voyages Hawaii and the location where Captain Cook eventually died. unknown books

18004585<p>Single broadsheet 60 x 44.5 cm folded. A very good copy.<br /></p><p>A rare survival of such an ephemeral piece unrecorded on ICCU: a large broadside issued during the nine-month occupation of Rome following the fall of the Roman Republic and proclaiming a complete revision of the running of the city's public market to prevent "hoarders and scalpers" from inflating food prices beyond the means of the "most sensitive" members of the populace during this tumultuous period.</p><p>The edict instructs for example all retailers of vegetables and fruits to arrange contracts exclusively during daylight hours and only under their official banners; any retailers found bringing or intending to bring wholesalers into the marketplace will be considered in contravention of the law. Retailers are also prohibited from forming collective buying groups which lead to 'infamous monopolies'. Further regulations touch on sellers of poultry interactions between retailers and wholesalers and the physical locations of permitted activities. The trades in domestic pigeons and wild game however are exempted from these stringent regulations.<br /><br />The broadsheet also gives details of the enforcement of the new rules. Anyone not complying with the regulations after three days of their posting will suffer the consequences and trials of the accused will take place between 22 and 24 hours and for 1 hour the following morning in the market square itself. The penalties are stiff: for the first offence 25 scudi; for the second 50 scudi and a public beating; while the third warrants a 100 scudi fine and 5 years of public labor. Fines will also be imposed for passing false currency. The edict ends with a stern public hygiene order reminding all retailers of the prohibition of fish-selling in the marketplace. The public is also ordered to make use of the fountains in a civilised manner and not to throw rubbish into the fountain or onto the streets.</p><p>The Piazza Navona became the official market square of Rome in the 15th century and remained so until the 1860s when the site was transferred to the Campo de' Fiori. Produced during a period of tremendous political upheavel the present document provides us with a surprisingly intimate insight into the problems of running such an enormous concern. As the broadside notes the Papal Government had formerly been responsible for the orderly running of the marketplace but in 1798 the short-lived Roman Republic based upon the principles of the French Revolution had seized power and exiled the Pope. According to the document many "abuses" were committed during the "so-called" Republican tenure and indeed the "greed and malice of those who have been able to evade the rules" has led to the need for tighter regulation. Today it complains many dealers hoard more than they sell rendering public markets 'inutili' and driving food prices far higher than they should be in turn affecting the "most sensitive" segment of the population. The present edict was issued under the authority of His Excellency Diego Naselli a Neapolitan commander whose troops had invaded the Republic in September 1799. However by July 3rd seven months after the edict's publication the city was returned to the authority of the Pope.</p><p> Unrecorded in ICCU or OCLC.</p> Lazzarini

The men on this expedition were the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. Further visits were made to New Zealand and on two great sweeps Cook made an astonishing series of discoveries and rediscoveries including Easter Island The Marquesas Tahiti and the Society Islands Niue the Tonga Islands the New Hebrides New Caledonia Norfolk Island and a number of smaller islands.
