Old folds minor chipping to edges minor tears not affecting text else very good. 1 p. on "Gd Hotel De La Mule Noire" letterhead. 8-1/4 x 11 inches. An anecdotal letter from one of the foremost travel writers of the first half of the 20th century.Reading in part: "I have had so many exciting experiences that I really cannot think of one I should put ahead of the others. Perhaps escaping from bandits in China would be or almost drowning in a river in the Andes in South America . Personally I have found it better to do as well as I can everything that came to hand and then let circumstances show the way to go. For instance I learned several foreign languages in college without knowing until much later that they would be indispensable to the career I finally chose - or which chose me." American Harry A Franck 1881-1962 chronicled his adventurous and often dangerous treks around the world. As a high school student Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 wrote letters to many notables of the day inquiring about their ideas to the keys to success in life. He would later go on to serve as Republican from New York to the 86th 87th 88th 89th 90th 91st and 92nd United States Congresses holding office from January 3 1959 to January 3 1973.

A RELATION OF SOME YEARES TRAVAILE BEGUNNE ANNO 1626 INTO AFRIQUE AND THE GREATER ASIA ESPECIALLY THE TERRITORIES OF THE PERSIAN MONARCHIE

1634ST20186London: printed by William Stansby and Jacob Bloome 1634. FIRST EDITION. 290 x 195 mm. 11 1/2 x 7 3/4". 6 p.l. 225 15 pp. Contemporary sprinkled calf raised bands traces of old paper label to spine pastedowns lifted to reveal leather bands and manuscript document fragments used as sewing guards all edges sprinkled red expert repair to rear joint. With additional engraved title page featuring two figures of Persian dignitaries and three small travel vignettes signed at foot by William Marshall and 36 engravings in the text the majority vignettes but one full-page and nine more than half a page tall. Front endpaper with ink armorial stamp of Sir Walter John Trevelyan 8th Baronet of Nettlecombe and High Sheriff of Cornwall. Price inked in a contemporary hand to the front endpaper. Sabin 31471; STC 13190.3; ESTC S92948. Front board a bit splayed covers with three old dampstains and a few scars and tiny wormholes but a very pleasing original binding with almost no wear to the joints. A very few marginal smudges made during printing other quite trivial imperfections but AN ESPECIALLY FRESH BRIGHT AND CLEAN COPY INTERNALLY with rich impressions of the engravings. This is a contemporary copy in remarkably fresh internal condition of an important and entertaining account of the travels of a 17th century Englishman in exotic Asian and African territories particularly Persia. It is significant both for the ways it is accurate and for the ways it is fictitious. Sir Thomas Herbert 1606-82 left for Persia on a diplomatic mission to Shah Abbas in 1626 as part of the entourage of Sir Dodmore Cotton. The mission was not successful: Cotton and the mission's other leader Sir Robert Shirley both died in 1628 leaving their retinue at loose ends with the increasingly unimpressed Shah. Herbert made a slow return to England traveling through a large portion of Asia and Africa and even sailing up the coast of North America. He finally returned to England in 1630; four years later he published this account of his adventures. The text describes meetings with people of many cultures as well as encounters with exotic animals including the dodo flamingoes and flying fish. Herbert's accounts are of great importance for their details of early Asian travel by Westerners. At the same time the author was unable to resist the urge to embellish a good story and according to DNB gave implicitly first-person accounts of places he had not in fact visited. One such detour into the fanciful comes in the chapter involving the author's apparent visit to America. In it Herbert discusses the belief that the mythical Welsh king Madoc ap Owen-Gwyned had settled in North America in the 9th century for which he provides linguistic evidence that Sabin calls "entirely fanciful." DNB tells us that "this segment was apparently included to please the earl of Pembroke's own Welsh nationalist fancies. It also continued to help fuel various theories about Madoc's colonies and Welsh Indians in North America until the early years of the nineteenth century." Herbert's tale is profusely illustrated by William Marshall fl. 1617-49 with engravings that are sometimes more imaginative than accurate see for example the depiction of the shark on page 6 or the penguin on page 13. Despite these rather amusing inaccuracies the illustrations are lively and detailed providing a sense of the awe the early readers must have felt when imagining foreign places. Our copy in a period binding with part of a manuscript ledger used in the binding process visible is from the library of Walter John 1866-1933 8th baronet Trevelyan who as his inkstamp suggests served as High Sheriff of Cornwall from 1906-07. printed by William Stansby, and Jacob Bloome unknown

In 1849 he went to live at Nice where he died. Many of his compositions were sacred music much of which was very popular. His great contribution however together with Christian Ignatius Latrobe lay in the introduction to England of unknown compositions by the great masters such as the Masses of Haydn and Mozart the works of Palestrina the treasures of the Fitzwilliam Museum and innumerable now well known great compositions." wikipedia Much on travel to the Northwest and polar regions natural history the Linnean system and other subjects including a report on Mozart a "very remarkable young musician."

All too often however transport policies are implemented at great expense without due regard to the behaviour and consequent needs of transport users. Behavioural Research for Transport Policy will improve the lines of communication between behavioural researchers and policy makers. The papers presented at the 1985 International Conference on Travel Behaviour cover the wide range of factors which need to be taken into account when gauging the effect behaviour has on transport requirements and usage. Contributions discuss the variety and usefulness of different survey frameworks; the lifestyle factors affecting transport use and the problems of cost effectiveness in both survey techniques and the implementation of transport policy.
