1793000559Dublin: Printed for Messrs. R. Cross P. Wogan L. White P. Byrne A. Grueber J. Moore J. Jones W. Jones W. MKenzie and J. Rice. 1793. Hardcover. See Description. 8vo. 2 vols. Vol. I. pp. Vol. II. pp. With 3 maps one of which is colored. First printed in 1792. According to Cox this Dublin 1793 printing was probably a pirate edition. The official second edition appeared a year later. Re-bound in modern half calf with gilt spine labels and marbled boards. An ink shelf number is handwritten on the verso of both titles with miniscule bleed through on the title of volume II. A shelf number is also written on the bottom margin of p. 101 in both volumes and on the final blanks in volume II. The map in volume II is re-hinged and contains a tear professionally sealed along the inner margin and crossing one printed corner tip. The interior shows some marginal foxing mild staining and age-toning. Pages 431-432 folio 3I4 in volume II contain a manufacturing tear through a large part of the leaf. The tear is carefully sealed; however due to paper slippage during printing some words of text near the tear are skewed out of place. Arthur Young 1741-1820 was one of the foremost British agriculturalists in his day. According to Edward Coxs bibliography Young " is unexcelled in relating personal adventures in observations of the agricultural situation and in descriptions of the many friends he met. He was near enough to the outbreak of the French Revolution to perceive that something unusual was astir and even experienced some personal contacts with the disordered state of affairs." See Cox Ref. Guide to the Lit. of Travel I p. 161. De Tocqueville said that Youngs book "is one of the most instructive works which exist on the former state of society in France See De Tocqueville "On the state and society in France " London 1888. p. 84.

179398215Paris Chez Maradan 1793 2 vol. relié 2 vol. in-8, basane tabac racinée, dos lisses avec pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge et de filets, fleurons et dentelle dorés (mors supérieur fendillé sinon élégante reliure d'époque un peu usée), 280 et 272 pp. Seconde édition de la traduction française établie par le comte de Mirabeau. Notre exemplaire comporte 16 planches (sur les 17 annoncées) : un portrait-frontispice du navigateur Wilson (gravé par Mme Massard), les portraits d'Abba Thullé, roi de Koror, de l'une de ses épouses et du prince Lee Boo, la grande carte dépliante des îles Pelew et 11 planches dépliantes (dont 6 représentant des objets ethnographiques). Découvert par les Espagnols dès 1543, l'archipel Palaos (en Micronésie) a été décrit pour la première fois sous le nom d'Iles Pelew par le capitaine britannique Henry Wilson, qui fit naufrage en 1783 sur l'îlot d'Ulong entre Koror et Peleliu, et y séjourna le temps de réparer son navire avec l'aide du grand chef de Koror, Ibedul. Wilson put regagner Macao après un séjour de trois mois, accompagné de Lee Boo, le second fils du roi qui est de fait l'un des premiers océaniens à visiter l'Angleterre (cf. son beau portrait en habits européens). Hélas, Lee Boo mourut de la petite vérole cinq mois après son arrivée... Ce récit a largement contribué à conforter les mythes du bon sauvage et des îles paradisiaques. Un précieux lexique de vocabulaire de la langue Pelew occupe les pages 251 à 267. Il manque à notre exemplaire la planche-objet n° 1 (qui est souvent retranchée). On joint un tome I seul de la même édition auquel manquent la carte et deux planches mais dont on a très soigneusement aquarellé les portraits du capitaine Wilson, du roi de Thullé et un paysage. Bonne réunion en dépit des manques.

In 1849 he went to live at Nice where he died. Many of his compositions were sacred music much of which was very popular.
