Embossed stamp of the Earls of Macclesfield in upper extended margins of titlepage leaf and following two leaves of text. The first English edition of Van Neck's account of his 1598 voyage to the East Indies translated from the 1601 Amsterdam edition of the author's HET TWEEDE BOECKE. The Dutch navigator who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes that the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. <br> <br> Van Neck's account was popular throughout the first half of the 17th century and was reprinted and translated into German and French as well as English. It also appeared in collections of voyages such as those by De Bry Hulsius and Colijn. This extra- illustrated copy includes nineteen engraved plates from the Amsterdam 1619 edition of Van Neck's HISTORIALE BESCHRIJVINGHE published by Michiel Colijn. The images are mounted on separate sheets and bound in the book at the appropriate portion of the text. The engravings are annotated in ink indicating the appropriate page i.e. recto or verso of a specific leaf related to the image. <br> <br> A rare book on the market. Prior to this copy from the Macclesfield sale in March 2007 the last copy previously available was sold at the Boise Penrose sale in 1971.

18235325London: Printed for Thomas Kelly 17 Paternoster-Row 1823. Octavo 21.5 x 14 cm. 464 pages. Index. Lacking the frontispiece portrait of Schnebbelie. Engraved title featuring a cornucopic table. Illustrated with eleven plates mostly carving instructions and menus. Stated seventeenth edition. While Andre Simon claimed this was "probably the most popular cookery book in England during the last decade of the eighteenth century" BG page 81 Maclean pushes back on this concept ". this is a bold assertion and the present compiler has no evidence to justify it." Maclean page 69. Jacob Schnebbelie first revised and expanded The Houekeeper's Instructor in 1804. A number of institutions date this printing as 1923 and we've found no supporting evidence of this nor reason to think this dating is far off the mark. The estimate of the date was not shared by experienced culinary bookseller Marian L. Gore whose bookseller ticket and pricing code are present in this volume along with a copy of her invoice for this and other works to cookery collector Walter Fillin. Her description estimates 1811. Some light soiling throughout; but generally clean and sound. Original tree calf-covered boards with corners bumped suffing and abrasions rebacked with modern calf spine with gilt-titled black spine label. Lacking frontispiece portrait as noted above; bookseller ticket of Gore to preliminary blank; bookplate of collectors Walter & Lucille Fillin; invoice of sale ladi-in. Good or better.

"George Jacob Holyoake was mainly self-educated and a vigorous campaigner for secularism and freethought during the 19th century. He wrote 160 books and pamphlets and edited several magazines including The Movement and The Reasoner. Holyoake was the last person in England to be imprisoned on a charge of atheism for saying at a public lecture in Cheltenham in 1842 at a time of economic hardship: "If I could have my way I would place the deity on half pay as the Government of this country did its subaltern officers" Humanists UK.

And his stirring critique of the blasphemy laws did much to undermine their validity in the popular mind. unknown books
