Modern half brown calf over marbled boards gilt-stamped spine titles. Fine. FIRST OCTAVO EDITION of Cook's third voyage to discover a northwest passage linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Abridged and so without all the technical nautical details found in the earlier quarto edition but often preferred by readers because "the work reads more like an adventure" Hill. On board were a number of significant crew members: William Bligh James Burney James Colnett George Vancouver and John Webber as artist to the expedition. The voyage took in Kerguelen Island Tasmania New Zealand and the Cook Tonga and Society Islands sailed north and discovered Christmas Island and the Hawaiian Islands which Cook named the Sandwich Islands. "Cook charted the American west coast from Northern California through the Bering Strait as far north as latitude 70 degrees 44' before he was stopped by pack ice. He returned to Hawaii for the winter and was killed in an unhappy skirmish with the natives over a boat. Charles Clerke took command and after he died six months later the ships returned to England under John Gore. Despite contemporary English hostilities with the United States and France the scientific nature of this expedition caused the various governments to exempt these vessels from capture. This voyage resulted in what Cook judged his most valuable discovery - the Hawaiian Islands" Hill. Beddie 1545; Hill 362; Mitchell "Cook" 1545; Sabin 16251.

Cook 1869-1964 was born to Seth and Hannah Cook Quakers who lived near Mt. Holly in Warren County. While working as a secretary she enrolled in an evening medical school and graduated after four years. She eventually saved enough money to study one year at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at the University of Illinois. She graduated in 1908 and in the fall she returned to Waynesville Ohio and opened her office located in the Waynesville National Bank building on the northwest corner of Main and North streets. She practiced medicine in Waynesville for more than 52 years. In 1958 at the age of 88 Cook ranked as one of the oldest women practitioners in the United States. Cook was instrumental in the founding of the public library in Waynesville. In early 1917 she gathered together interested citizens and established a library association. The state granted a charter on Ohio May 1 1917. In 1924 the Library Association Board assumed the responsibilities of a school district public library.

H428Kiel Bey dem Herausgeber 1783. Kl.-8vo. S. 188-194 mit 1 Tafel: "Ein Zweig des Brodfruchtbaums mit Fr¸chten". Ausgebunden als Broschur mit einfacher R¸ckenheftung in einem neuen Fl¸gelband mit Deckelschild ein gutes Exemplar. Sehr seltene Publikation im gleichen Jahr 1784 wie Forsters Buch ¸ber den Brotbaum. Der Verfasser erw‰hnt alle Nachrichten ¸ber den Brotfruchtbaum wie jene von Forster aber auch jene von Cook und Forster. Sehr bemerkenswert ist die Mitteilung ¸ber den Engl‰nder Ellis der bereits 1775 den Brotfruchtbaum f¸r Westindien empfiehlt. "Der Engl‰nder Ellis empfahl in einer besondern Beschreibung London 1775 die auch ins Franzˆsische ¸bersetzt ward Description du Mangostan & de Fruit ‡ pain &c. 8∞ Rouen 1779 den Mangostan und den Brodbaum f¸r die Kolonien von Westindien und die holl‰ndische Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Harlem sezte auf die Einf¸hrung des letzten einen Preis hier Querverweis auf Gartenkalender 1782 S. 248. Ellis zeigte zugleich wie die Fortbringung dieses so sehr n¸tzlichen Baums geschehen kˆnne und zeichnete zu diesem Gebrauch drey Kasten vor. Seine Anweisung ist f¸r Reisende die in die Inseln des Brodbaums kommen ¸beraus wichtig". "Der ber¸hmte Lord Anson fand den Brodfruchtbaum auf der reitzenden Insel Tinian. W‰hrend seines Aufenthalts in diesem paradiese aflen die Schiffsleute best‰ndig diese Frucht und in der Zeit ward kein anderes Brod ausgetheilt. Er nannte sie daher Brodfrucht Bread-Fruit ein Name den sie auch im Franzˆsischen erhalten fruit ‡ pain Astrocarpus Forst. Characteres gen. plant. Die Indianer nennen sie Rima. Die Fruacht w‰chst nach Ansons Beschreibung auf einem etwas hohen Baum der sivh gegen die Spitze in grofle und weit ausgebreitete Aeste zertheilt. Die Bl‰tter des Baums haben eine besondere dunkelgr¸ne Farbe; sie sind um den Rand eingekerbt und insgemein einen Fufl bis achtzehn Zoll lang. Die Frucht w‰chst ohne Unterschied auf allen Theilen der Aeste; sie ist der Gestalt nach eher l‰nglich als vollkommen rund und mit einer rauhen Rinde umgeben. "Der Brodfruchtbaum erz‰hlt H. Prof. Forster in seiner Reise um die Welt kommt beynahe ohne alle H¸lfe fort. Zwey oder drey B‰ume die fast so lange tragen als der lebt der sie gepflanzt hat geben ihm drey Viertheile des Jahres seinen Unterhalt. Was er nicht frisch verzehren kann wird als ein gesundes Nahrungsmittel f¸r die ¸brigen Monate aufbewahrt. Die ganze Kunst einen Brodfruchtbaum aufzuziehen besteht darinn dafl man einen gesunden Zweig abschneidet und in die Erde steckt."

1794307851London: William Faden 1794. unbound. Map. Engraving with modern hand coloring. Image measures 15 1/2" x 26 1/2"<br/> <br/> This important and scarce 1794 map of the North Pacific covers the northwest coast of America including Alaska east as far as the Hudson Bay and the northeast coast of Asia including Kamchatka. The map is from the second edition of the official account of Captain James Cook's Third Voyage in the HMS Revolution between 1778 and 1779. The route of his journey is depicted in detail with depth soundings noted along the route. Several Capes islands and bays are labeled. This map is among the first to accurately map the coastlines of the region.<br> <br> It was during this voyage that Cook encountered an 'impenetrable wall of ice' in the Arctic as he searched for the Northwest Passage thus putting to rest the hopes for the discovery of an Arctic Northwest Passage. Map was engraved by T. Harmer for the official account of Cook's voyages. The map is in excellent condition. Minor creasing near original centerfold. Sea of the West is creatively inserted in the lower right border and noted over time. Indigenous tribes are noted in North America.<br> <BR> Captain Cook 1728 -1779 was among the most famous and important explorer navigator cartographer and captain of his time whose scientific and geographical knowledge influenced his successors well into the 20th century. He started sailing as a teenager and went on to join the Royal Navy in 1755. In 1766 he was commissioned to explore the Pacific and went on the sail thousands of miles across largely uncharted regions of the world. These three historic voyages led him to some of the first sightings of Antarctica his discovery of many Polynesian islands including the Hawaiian Islands first European contact with east Australia the circumnavigation of New Zealand and the first correct mapping of the Pacific Northwest. William Faden 1750-1836 was an 18th century English cartographer engraver mapseller and publisher as well as 'Geographer to His Majesty & to his H.R.H. the Prince of Wales George III & George IV. This is a beautiful example of their work.<br/> <br/> William Faden unknown

Six volumes duodecimo with six engraved plates one in each volume original blue printed wrappers preserved a charming set in period Spanish quarter calf gilt. <p><p>Very uncommon first Spanish edition of Cook's first voyage published in 1832 as part of a series described as the 'New Library of Modern Voyages useful and interesting for Spanish youth.' The work has a charming series of six plates which include a scene in Tahiti featuring the Chief Mourner and two New Zealand scenes a warrior in profile the war canoe and conclude with a dramatic scene on board the Endeavour.

19180002202JOBSTOWN NEW JERSEY TO THE FRONT IN FRANCE. Good. 1918. "Ernest Cook is my name/America is my nation/Jobstown NJ is dwelling place/And God is my Salvation/When I am dead and in my grave/And all my bones have rotten/This little book will tell my name/When I am long forgotten." So begins the diary on offer; a fascinating manuscript diary handwritten by a sensitive young soldier named Ernest Cook March 3 1895 - March 1972 who bravely fought on the front lines for America near the end of World War I. This 5 year diary a Christmas gift from his lady friend Alice D. Shinn as per inscription Makes for an interesting comparison between his life in each year - a life that changes dramatically with the conclusion of the War I. Beginning January 1918 we learn that Ernest is a 22-year-old member of 303rd Field Signal Battalion Company B in the US Army. Not yet on active duty they are stationed near Cook's home in New Jersey and his writings reflect monotonous days of inspections drills evenings at the YMCA with friends and visits with family. Cook is often sent to work with the horses in the stables and is no stranger to hard labor yet he is a sensitive young man as indicated by multiple entries indicating his insecurity about how friends and superiors feel about him. On January 9 1918 he writes: "Inspection Room orderly worked hard. I got very discouraged. My only comfort at home was thinking I had a few friends". Again on Valentine's Day 1919 his sensitivity and youth shine through: "Valentines from home and Violet and May. Fatigue duty very muddy. Physical exercises. Disappointed to the core. Snyder disliked me on a pass. Had a date with Alice". While he struggles to succeed at work he maintains a healthy interest in the opposite sex evidenced by his description of watching "fellows loveing couple of girls in barracks next door" and his tales of juggling multiple women such as the day he received a 'funny little letter from Ms. Kirby Riverside date with Alice and Hilda'. Things change for Ernest's Company in late February 1918 with the draft of many new men. On February 23 he describes 150 newly drafted men coming in and observes some of these new rookies as they struggle to fit in. On March 3 1918 Ernest has his 23rd birthday and just a week later he writes that there have been "rumours of moving". These rumours do not materialize until late May 1918 when Ernest's company moves to Europe. On May 26 1918 Ernest's company is called to ship out and they are on deck in "our battleship" by the afternoon of May 27. Their journey to England is treacherous. Cook describes intense sea sickness and his ship narrowly avoiding a torpedo strike. He finally arrives in England on June 8 after "sailing the Irish Sea" and here begins the most fascinating part of this diary - not just Cook's riveting tales of war but also the contrast of Ernest Cook soldier and Ernest Cook 23-year-old young man. His entries swing dramatically from militaristic on June 21st: "Took office over from the British. Had many an argument with the Townies and don't like them" to youthful on June 25th when he went "To visit a French Madammoisella". Cook's summer of 1918 is a melting pot of air raids and parties. Fighting and fun. As summer winds down Cook experiences his first major loss with the death of company member Leland S. Clancy on August 19 1918. He writes "lost L. Clancy by drowning. Very sad". He doesn't have very much time to process this loss as his company is moved out of England to France at the end of August. His company slowly makes its way to the front lines. On September 13 the horror of war creeps into his entry: "Thousands of prisoners coming in. We hike all night to try and keep up to Infantry. Heavy firing. First real sight of death of war dead men and horses". Between September 19-October 2 1918 he is on the front lines of the war and does not write anything. We find out later that is company loses many men and he is given increasing responsibility. Finally on October 3rd they are moved out of the line of fire and his writing resumes. His entry on October 3rd is simple: "Back to company moved out of the lines. Hiked all night and Hopkins lost my pack. The horse died on the road". In early November there are a pair of entries that exemplify the spirit of Ernest Cook: Nov 3 "Austrians lay down their guns" Nov 4 "Howie tied my pajamas all up in knots". Cook is in Blois France when the war ends. On November 11 1918 he writes with enthusiasm that "the Armistice signed. Howie Mac and I out in big parade everybody going wild .walked until I couldn't stand". The enthusiasm is short-lived as Cook and his company are stuck in France cold in the barracks until January 14th when they are finally given a ship to return home. Once again Cook writes about debilitating sea sickness. Finally on January 22 1919 Cook "Saw the lights of dear old N.Y. about 6pm and oh boy the cheers. I clinked to a life where I could see the dear old country and not be bothered". Then the next day: "Mayor out to meet us. Pulled in docks at 12 noon unloaded 2pm. All organizations welcomed us with eats such was great. Teleg. Mother. Up on ferry then a train to Merritt". The rest of the diary which Cook maintains until April 15 1919 details a post-war life of job offers work in Lewiston and lots and lots of new women to date! While Cook ends his diary in the spring of 1919 there is I entry he has dated 1920 that gives us the sense that he is happy in his new post-war life. This diary is a tribute to the boys and men who fought in World War I for America. It is an in-depth look at the life of a soldier both on the battlefield and off. Historians and researchers of World War I personal accounts will delight in Ernest's frank practical account of experiencing the atrocities of war and the sharing of emotional expressions on how he is affected as he comes of age.

This edition was preceded by an 1845 edition done in Mexico by Cumplido with a slight title variation. This is considered the true first edition. Rare cornerstone work.</p><p><strong><u>Bibliographical "mystery"</u></strong><u>:</u> Both Palau 196443 and OCLC describe this work with a different title "<em>Nuevo Cocinero Mexicano</em>" but with the same publisher pagination and illustrations as ours. As later editions changed the title to "<em>Nuevo Cocinero Americano</em>" this might be a unique copy or a proof title page of the first edition with the "new" title that the publisher planned to use in later editions.</p><p>As Dan Strehl says in the introduction to Encarnación's Kitchen: "<em>In Mexico the printing of cookbooks began in the 1830s with large comprehensive books authored mostly by men. By that time Mexico possessed a highly evolved cuisine combining distinctive Spanish Indian and French influences. This is documented in the first cookbook printed in Mexico in 1831 El cocinero mexicano. El Cocinero mexicano has had a remarkably long and important life in Mexican culinary literature. In 1845 the 1834 edition was rearranged in alphabetical order by Mariano Galván Rivera and published throughout the nineteenth century with reprints through the twentieth century</em>"</p><p>The editor of this edition reviews the history of this cookbook and others and explains the rationale for the present edition. He states that over 3000 copies of his own cookbook have been sold since it first appeared in 1831 in addition to the many others both produced domestically and imported from abroad. He further remarks that he has thoroughly edited the text removing some unpopular recipes and adding others especially in light of the fact that "<em>la cocina francesa ha invadido nuestros comedores</em>" thereby making Mexican cooking more cosmopolitan. In recipe revisions or new introductions however the recipes have been suited to Mexican tastes and ingredients.</p><p>The publisher also remarks specifically on the lithographs which he remarks have been included to clarify points and demonstrate how things are actually done. Finally he observes that he has kept the price low so that the book is "<em>al alcance aun de las personas de poca fortuna</em>." In keeping with the national character of the text under the article "Bien-me-sabe" he notes: "<em>Con este nombre podia disignarse todas las confectiones y condimentos de que se trata en este Diccionario…."</em></p><p>In an interesting typographical nod to the contents most of the type on the title page is set in the shape of a glass.</p><p># WorldCat U.S.Libraries: Berkeley San Diego BPL San Antonio with a slight different title page see above.</p> LibreriÌa de Rosa y Bouret
