19051240Charleston: Plain Dealer Press 1905. About good. 851pp. Original printed wrapper string-tied. Spine perished wrappers heavily worn and chipped soiling. Contemporary ownership inscription on front flyleaf. Wear and soiling to text p.33 torn away but present p.35 torn. An early and apparently unrecorded regional cook book from a small town in central Illinois. This work was likely published as a charity effort by the ladies of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. In addition to the numerous recipes for soups meats desserts drinks sauces and cheeses the book is full of advertisements for local businesses in the area. Many of the recipes are attributed to individuals. We find no record of this work in OCLC or in the trade. A rare survival likely published in a small run for local distribution.

A handsome little cook book compiled by the PTA of the Oakton School in Evanston Illinois.

The introduction also notes that recipes "suited particularly for children" have been marked with a star. The book includes a wide variety of cakes pies and others desserts as well as meat dishes and luncheons. Something simply titled "Appetizer" calls for a spread of Rocquefort cheese on toast topped with chili sauce and bacon.

005786London etc.: Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. First edition. Hardcover. Paper pastedown on boards of medium strength card. Cloth spine. . Very Good. Scarce with no copies on OCLC First Search. N.d. circa 1910s. Reference to Queen Alexandra when she clearly was already a dowager queen and attire depicted consistent with the teens. Oblong 4to 24 by 33 cm. Unpaginated eighteen pages of narrative including insides of cover. Twelve of the pages are full color plates the remaining pages of the narrative are black white and red. Plus front and rear cover are in full color. The book tells not so much a story as much as the various events that might occur in the life of children from afffluent families residing in the idyllic countryside or by a immaculately groomed park -- goat-drawn cart rides playing with model ships flying a kite an afternoon tea etc. It is a world with nannies nurses pet dogs cats and gentle domestic farm animals. We believe that the book might have been issued while the First World War was underway for it offers up a reassuring escapism and there is one page entitled "The Tiny Army" showing little girls playing with a cavalry of toy wheeled stick horses but this is content that could plausibly have predated or followed the war as well. The illustrations have a winsome dream-like simplicity. One can see echoes of the Queen Anne style of book illustration epitomized by Walter Crane's output. Thus the appeal of the book would have been at least as strong for adults wistful for "a more innocent time". Condition: red cloth spine with rubbing and a few pinprick holes and closed tearing along the edge. Moderate amount of soiling to the boards. A faint inscription on the front cover. <br/><br/> Raphael Tuck & Sons, Ltd. hardcover books
1776WRCAM36096London: Printed for the Royal Society 1776. 444pp. Half title. Small quarto. 20th-century three- quarter calf and marbled boards gilt label. Leaf C4 signed C3 a cancel as usual. Occasional minor foxing ink stain on p.2. Very good bound with five other works by Pringle see below. One of the most significant of all the printed works relating to Cook's voyages and their importance. This is the extremely rare first appearance in print of Cook's epoch- making account of the successful measures taken against scurvy on his first two voyages. There were several later versions and translations but the original edition of this milestone publication has long been acknowledged as a major rarity. The paper on scurvy was read to the Royal Society by its president Sir John Pringle in the absence of Cook himself then just beginning his final voyage as the year's Copley medal award winner and immediately published in this form. Pringle's long presentation address quoting directly from Cook and other sources is followed by Cook's paper and an extract from a letter by Cook to Pringle written from Plymouth Sound in July 1776. The paper subsequently appeared in the official account of the second voyage and in the PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS of the Royal Society. In 1783 a series of six of Pringle's discourses at the annual presentations of the Copley medal was published in one volume. <br> <br> "In Pringle's discourse on preserving the health of mariners he includes the first printing of Captain Cook's important paper entitled: 'The Method taken for preserving the Health of the Crew of His Majesty's Ship the Resolution during her late Voyage round the World.' In this paper which Cook communicated to Pringle President of the Royal Society Cook describes the supplies carried on the voyage and his maintenance of the cleanliness of his ship and crew. It was included by Pringle in his discourse commemorating Cook's receipt of the Copley medal" - Norman sale. The winning of the battle against scurvy was one of the most important achievements in the general field of exploration. It made possible the major voyages that followed. As Robert Hughes so aptly put it in THE FATAL SHORE "malt juice and pickled cabbage put Europeans in Australia as microchip circuitry would put Americans on the moon." <br> <br> This copy is very appropriately accompanied by five other Royal Society discourses of the period. A DISCOURSE. is here bound chronologically with five other Pringle first editions: <br> <br> 1 A DISCOURSE ON THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF AIR. 1774. <br> <br> 2 A DISCOURSE ON THE TORPEDO. 1775. <br> <br> 3 A DISCOURSE ON THE ATTRACTION OF MOUNTAINS. 1775. <br> <br> 4 A DISCOURSE ON THE INVENTION AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE REFLECTING TELESCOPE. 1778. <br> <br> 5 A DISCOURSE ON THE THEORY OF GUNNERY. 1778. <br> <br> The Streeter-Norman copy of the DISCOURSE.FOR PRESERVING THE HEALTH OF MARINERS was also bound with these five additional works by Pringle.

Complete with frontispiece and 27 engraved plates including 1 map. xxiv 22 212 2 pp. Imperial 4to. Contemporary tree calf finely rebacked with gilt spine to period style. Fine. First edition with the very rare "Explanatory Remarks" by Fothergill and postscript. Complete with frontispiece and 27 engraved plates including 1 map. xxiv 22 212 2 pp. Imperial 4to. With The Rare Explanatory Remarks by Fothergill. First edition of this important account of Cook's first voyage based on the journal of Parkinson who had been engaged by Sir Joseph Banks to serve as natural history draughtsman aboard the Endeavour. Parkinson died of dysentery on the homeward voyage and his account was transcribed and published by his brother Stanfield Parkinson who was forced by injunction to delay publication until Hawkesworth's official account appeared. "Parkinson made numerous drawings of botanical and other subjects including landscapes and portraits of native chiefs . Banks spoke highly of his 'unbounded industry' in making for him a much larger collection of drawings than he anticipated. His observations too were valuable and the vocabularies of South Sea languages given in his journal are of great interest" Hill. <br/>This copy includes the rare "Explanatory Remarks" by John Fothergill a Parkinson family friend who mediated an agreement between Stanfield Parkinson and Banks both of whom laid claim to the journal which would allow for the publication of the book. When Stanfield Parkinson included a scurrilous preface attacking Banks and misrepresenting his actions an offended Fothergill purchased the remaining copies inserting into them these 22 pages of remarks which sought to set the record straight. In 1784 he brought out a new edition of Parkinson's account which included the remarks but copies of the first edition which include them are scarce on the market.

First edition lacking the map as in almost all copies. 208 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Rare. "This is not only the first American book on the Northwest Coast but also the first American book on Hawaii" Streeter. <br/><br/>Ledyard is distinguished in many respects he was the only American to sail on Cook's third voyage which explored Alaska and discovered Hawaii. He was also in the boat that carried Cook ashore on the morning of his death. Indeed this work contains a detailed account of Cook's death "distinguished by its evident authority" Hill.<br/>The purpose of Cook's third voyage was twofold. Ostensibly it was to return Omai to his homeland in French Polynesia but the main purpose was to search for the Northwest Passage. The Resolution and Discovery departed Plymouth in 1776 and made their way via the Cape to New Zealand and Tahiti. It was from there that Cook discovered Hawaii which he regarded as his greatest achievement. The boats then proceeded to the Pacific Northwest and commenced their search for a route to the Atlantic. They returned to Hawaii for the winter of 1778-9. Their initial warm welcome soon wore off and tensions between the Hawaiians and the British resulted in Cook being killed on the shore of Kealakekua Bay on February 14 1779. Charles Clerke assumed command of the expedition and proceeded north once again to pursue the voyage's objective. The two ships returned to England in 1780.<br/>A Connecticut native after the voyage Ledyard remained in England until 1782 when he was posted to the North American station - the Revolutionary War was ongoing. He promptly deserted and returned to Hartford where this account was published. This work preceded Rickman's by a matter of months though in fact Ledyard made "liberal use of the first English edition of Rickman's account in his own narrative" Hill. This is not to deride Ledyard unnecessarily; in addition to his account of Cook's death his keen observations on the fur trade in the Pacific northwest are of great value.<br/><br/>Ledyard's account is one of the rarest works on Cook's third's voyage and Hill confirms that "only a few copies still have the map." It was wanting in both the Streeter and Brooke-Hitching copies.

M K Beddie: 39 First edition of the bound edition.<br /><br />Captain James Cook RN was a British explorer navigator and cartographer ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society. This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career and in the direction of British overseas exploration and led to his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages. Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements can be attributed to a combination of seamanship superior surveying and cartographic skills courage in exploring dangerous locations to confirm the facts for example dipping into the Antarctic Circle repeatedly and exploring around the Great Barrier Reef an ability to lead men in adverse conditions and boldness both with regard to the extent of his explorations and his willingness to exceed the instructions given to him by the Admiralty. Cook was killed in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Lacks volume II and VI.
