WAGER; ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING NAVAL ACCOUNTS OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.<br> This narrative is the exciting mutineers' side of the story of the loss of the Wager to inhospitable climate on one of the world's most remote and dangerous coastlines beyond the Straits of Magellan. When Commodore Anson set out for the Pacific in 1740 to attack the Spanish ships on the Chilean coast he took eight ships with him. The Wager was effectively a transport ship carrying stores and a force of marines; as the squadron rounded Cape Horn in fearsome weather she was unable to keep up with the rest of them and with her gear wrecked by the storm was driven ashore on the Patagonian coast. This tale of mutiny hardship and tenacity that ensued was told by the survivors especially John Bulkeley leader of those who repudiated the captain's authority. Bulkeley the ship's carpenter and Cummins led their small group of survivors until their landing at Rio de Janeiro and finally England concluding a voyage that had lasted almost two years. Another narrative was published by John Byron then a midshipman who remained with Captain Cheap. Of Cheap's group only three members Cheap Byron and one other eventually reached home but by a different overland route.<br> This voyage was the basis for Patrick O'Brian's historical work 'The Unknown Shore' written before he embarked on the Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin novels. Printed for Jacob Robinson hardcover
Folio (237 x 380 mm). 164 pp. With an engraved plate; folding engraved map in lower cover pocket. Modern red quarter morocco, title gilt to spine. Marbled endpapers. The first substantial study and reproduction of Fra Mauro's famous mappa mundi, considered the supreme medieval map of the world and the "greatest memorial of medieval cartography" (Almagià). The most detailed representation of the world ever seen when it was produced around 1450, it remains one of the most important works in the history of cartography, marking the new embrace of scientific method which placed accuracy ahead of religious or traditional beliefs. Strikingly, it is oriented with south at the top, recalling the Arab tradition and more specifically al-Idrisi's famous 12th century world map, copies of which Fra Mauro may have known. Europe is shown at the bottom, with Arabia (not Jerusalem) at the centre and America as yet missing. Fra Mauro incorporated "the discoveries of Marco Polo and the Portuguese", also showing "many countries later known, which the learned monk doubtless shaped after ideas gathered from the oral narratives of occasional travellers" (Müller). He was able, by personal intercourse, to gather additional information from Nicolo de' Conti, who had returned from the east in 1440, and his work is also of special interest for showing that, at least forty years before the Portuguese reached India, Arab sailing directions covering the east coast of Africa, India, and the seas beyond to the vicinity of Sumatra, were available in western Europe. - Placido Zurla's handsome work, the earliest study of the map, was the first to include a reproduction of it in book form. Zurla (1769-1834) had unique insight into Mauro's monumental achievement, as he served as librarian to the same Camaldolese order as the geographer and so had access to the original map itself. - Occasional foxing, mainly confined to margins, a little stronger in the title-page. An untrimmed, wide-margined copy preserving the deckle edges; the folding map reproduction in loosely inserted in a custom-made lower cover pouch. Cicogna 3323. Cf. A. Müller, Venice.

4to. 2 parts in one volume. (32), 353 (but: 351) pp., final blank. (4), 292 (but: 296), (24) pp. With 2 woodcut title-vignettes as well as several woodcut headpieces, tailpieces, and initials. Contemporary blindstamped full calf with giltstamped spine and spine-title. All edges sprinkled red. First edition of this third French translation of the history of the West and East Indies by the Jesuit Maffei (1533-1603), professor of rhetoric in Genua, describing Portuguese conquests and the journeys of 16th-century Jesuits in the East Indies, Persia, Japan, China, Brazil, and other parts of America. Originally published in Latin in 1585 under the title "Historiarum Indicarum libri XVI", Maffei's account was here edited by the priest and historiographer Michel de Pure (1620-80). The extent and quality of his work surpass a 91-page translation by Edmond Auger published in 1571, as well as a 1604 translation by François Arnault de La Borie. Comprising 16 chapters, the de Pure translation is considered "a classic work on the subject [which] enjoyed great success when it appeared" (Borba de Moraes) and is particularly notable for its detailed account of Brazil as well as for its description of China and Japan, including a section on Japanese tea: "La boisson de ceux du Japon, est un suc tiré d'un herbe appelée chia, que l'on fait chauffer pour boire, & qui est extrêmement sain" (p. 230). - Lower board slightly rubbed. Interior occasionally browned and waterstained; marginal tear in p. 279 of part I, not touching text. In part I the pagination skips from 217 to 220; in part II from page 48 back to 45.

Publisher's original brown cloth, gold-blocked on front board and spine, marbled edges. First edition of a work on the Prussian expedition, also called the Eulenburg Expedition (1859-62), to the Far East. The expedition was commissioned by Emperor Wilhelm I and led by Friedrich Eulenburg, and aimed at establishing economic and diplomatic relations with Japan, China and Siam. "With the opening of the Far East to foreign trade, Prussia sought to claim a stake in the region..." (Howgego). In July 1860 a large party arrived in Ceylon, one of the members being the physician Gustav Adolf Spiess (1802-75). Spiess talks about his experiences and the events during his stay in Japan, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Siam, paying a lot of attention to the economic (dis)advantages of the different regions. They managed to ascertain several trade treaties, the one with China happened to be signed two days before the death of the emperor. Spiess gives an idea of the attitudes of the locals towards the Europeans and reversed, as he shows both. The text is illustrated with numerous wood engravings, showing views, costumes, ceremonies, etc. - Binding slightly worn and discoloured. Frontispiece detached from book block, some foxing throughout; a good copy. Cordier, Indosinica 989. Cordier, Japonica 558. Cordier, Sinica 2522. Howgego, 1850-1940, E19.
