On 36 leaves (each ca. 20.5 x 14.5 cm, total ca. 134 x 82.5 cm), mounted on cloth and folded. Interesting and beautifully lithographed map of previously almost entirely uncharted parts of America still inhabited by the Utah, Sioux and Pawnee Indians, considered one of the most important maps of the western United States issued in the first half of the 19th century. Wheat noted that "John Fremont's map of 1845 represented as important a step forward from the earlier western maps of the period as did those of Pike, Long, and Lewis and Clark in their day". - At the top is an inset of a "Profile of the route from the Mouth of the Kansas to the Pacific by Capt. J. C. Fremont in 1843" (horizontal scale: 1:3,000,000). - The map includes parts of the States of Oregon and California in the West, via parts of Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado, to parts of Nebraska and Kansas in the East; from the west coast the mouth of the Columbia River, Fort Vancouver (Portland) in the Northwest, via San Francisco to St. Barbara, Ventura and the outskirts of today's Los Angeles in the Southwest, through the Rocky Mountains, the areas of the Utah, Sioux and Pawnee Indians, in a kind of triangle to the Missouri River and Fort Leaverwood near today's Kansas city and Westpoint in the East (an area of approximately 1,300 x 2,600 km). - The map is from Fremont's "Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains", which includes the first accurate depiction of the Great Salt Lake. "Though the Oregon Trail and the Spanish Trail had been regularly used for a few years there were no dependable maps. For other parts of Fremont's route, much of the recording of his map was new, including the whole extent of the Sierra Nevada Range, the California rivers from the American River south, and the three Colorado rivers" (Streeter). It is therefore hard to overestimate the influence of this map, which left only minor areas unmapped or unexplored with the exception of the Great Basin. Wheat states that it "radically and permanently altered western cartography". - John Charles Fremont (1813-90) was a young and ambitious lieutenant in the Corps of Topographical Engineers. Together with the Frenchman Joseph N. Nicollet he completed the first truly scientific survey of the interior during 1838-39. He was the son-in-law of the powerful Senator Thomas Hart Benson from Missouri and under his influence he undertook three further expeditions to the west. Arriving in the United States in 1834, Fremont hired Charles Preuss as a cartographer and draughtsman. Preuss would go on to draw both of Fremont's other highly important maps of the west. - Some soiling and spotting, otherwise in good condition. Howes F370. Philips, List, p. 642.

2 vols. 8vo. LIV [of LVI, lacking half-title], 444 pp. (2), 344, (148) pp. With engr. frontispiece portrait of Mariner by Bragg after Mouchet, and a folding engraved map of the Tonga Islands. 19th century half calf. Second enlarged edition. The young William Mariner sailed in the privateer Porte au Prince to the New World with the objective of attacking Spanish ships and searching for whales. The crew seized several Spanish vessels and picked up a number of Hawaiian crew in 1806. A visit to the Tonga Islands proved fatal: almost the entire the crew was massacred by the natives. The author, however, survived and lived in the 'Friendly Islands' from circa 1806 until 1810, observing and recording the Tonga culture with a keen eye for detail. His account contains an elaborate dictionary and grammar of the Tonga language as well as several songs. Volume two, moreover, includes some interesting notes on James Cook, who had named the Tonga Islands the Friendly Islands in remembrance of the friendly reception accorded to him and his crew. Mariner states that the Tonga chiefs had in fact planned to kill Cook, but due to a disagreement on "the exact mode and time of making the assault" (p. 60) this plan was never executed. "Mariner's meticulous observations on Tonga make this a key historical text on the history and culture of this island group" (Forbes). - With inscription on endpapers and title pages; vol. 1 lacking half-title; spines chafed. Very good set with the armorial bookplate of the Tennant family on front pastedown. Forbes 487. Hill 1076. Kroepelien 819. Cf. Howgego, 1800-1850, M14.

8vo [21.5 x 14 cm]; includes 9 original papers by Spruce, folding partly colored map, plate of Utricularia Peltata, Spruce, from Linn. Society Journal Botany Vol. IV, 1845. contemporary half calf, with gilt title lettering 'Opuscula; R. S.' on leather spine label, marbled boards rubbed, contents of papers listed hand-written on endpaper, initials RS in ink on margin of first paper, marginal notes & corrections, very good. A The papers by Richard Spruce included here are: The Musci and Hepaticae of Teesdale, Trans. Bot. Society of Edinburgh, 1844 (pp 65-89); On Several Mosses new to the British Flora, London Journal of Botany, 1845 (pp1-27); On Five New Plants from Eastern Peru, Linnaean Society, 1859 (pp191-204); On the Mode of Branching of Some Amazon Trees, Linn. Soc., 1861, (pp 3-51); Notes of a Visit to the Cinchona Forests on the Western slope of the Quiteian Andes, Linn Journal, 1859, (176-192); On the Mountains of Llanganati in the Eastern Cordillera of the Quitonian Andes, offprint (?, or possibly earlier printing, has a few hand corrections) from Royal Geographical Society of London, 1861 (1-21, with folding engraved map, partly colored showing his routes); On the River Purus, a Tributary of the Amazon, no publisher stated, June 13, 1864 (1-13); Notes on the Valleys of Piura and Chira in Northern Peru and on the Cultivation of Cotton Therein, London, Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1864 (pp 1-81). In addition there is only part of his paper, Report on the Expedition to Procure Seeds and Plants of the Cinchona Succirubra, or Red Bark Tree, London 1861, pages 85-112 only, the rest being removed but pages 104-111 being a note by Spruce on Cinchona Succirubra, Pavon and allied species, dated 1861 and pages 111-112 being a note by Clements R. Markham , respected author who wrote two books on obtaining Cinchona seeds and plants for planting in India to develop a cure for malaria. There is also a paper by Daniel Oliver, 'Descriptions of New Species of Utricularia from South America, 1859 (pp 169-176). Mark Honigsbaum in his book Valverde's Gold, 2004, on the exploration in eastern Ecuador for Incan gold, refers extensively to Spruce's work, especially that on Llanganati Mountains and he reproduced Spruce's map described above in his book but in much reduced size. The manuscript notes in parts of this work may be in Spruce's hand but this is not verified. Spruce was one of the great plant hunters of the Amazon region, collecting over seven thousand botanical specimens, many of which were previously unknown. Spruce was in the Amazon region at the same time as Bates and Wallace, and all three lived on the earnings from specimens sent back to England. In 1860, Spruce collected some 600 cinchona plants and thousands of seeds in Ecuador for raising in India for the production of quinine as a cure for malaria. The Royal Geographical Society elected him an honorary fellow in 1866 for his fine work. The Linnaean Society also made him an associate. Spruce was a great influence on the work of Darwin, Wallace, Richard Schultes and others. The author's 'Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon & Andes; being records of travel on the Amazon and its Tributaries, the Trombeta, Rio Negro, Uapes, etc. . to the Orinoco, the eastern side of the Andes of Peru and Ecuador and the shores of the Pacific during 1849-1864' was published in 1908 after his death, by Alfred Russell Wallace, and remains a classic work of travels in South America and especially Amazonia.

Edition originale de cet ouvrage longtemps attribué à Diderot dans la deuxième moitié du XVIIIe siècle, jusqu'à être intégré aux éditions de ses oeuvres complètes. "Un des livres les plus importants du XVIIIe siècle. Reconnu comme tel par les historiens des doctrines politiques (...), il a été proclamé par le marquis d'Argenson comme "le livre des livres", Babeuf s'en réclama au cours de son procès, Fourier s'en inspira de façon évidente, Tocqueville, dans 'l'Ancien Régime', y retrouva 'plusieurs des théories politiques qui ont le plus effrayé la France…'" (Chinard, 'Code de la Nature', p. 7). "'Le code de la nature' est aussi le premier programme socialiste de l'histoire de France: l'ouvrage se termine sur un plan de législation idéale destiné à assurer le bonheur du genre humain, sur la base de l'abolition de la propriété privée et de l'avènement d'une société fraternelle" (Stéphanie Roza, 2011).
