Six volumes duodecimo with six engraved plates one in each volume original blue printed wrappers preserved a charming set in period Spanish quarter calf gilt. <p><p>Very uncommon first Spanish edition of Cook's first voyage published in 1832 as part of a series described as the 'New Library of Modern Voyages useful and interesting for Spanish youth.' The work has a charming series of six plates which include a scene in Tahiti featuring the Chief Mourner and two New Zealand scenes a warrior in profile the war canoe and conclude with a dramatic scene on board the Endeavour.

Each volume would subsequently be priced 8 reales per volume.</p> <p>The translator Alvarado y de la Pena based his work on the French edition of Cook's first voyage.

1672ICFELAQ59QY4Holland 1672. Later blue/grey paper wrappers. 4to. With 2 thin rules on the title-page. Set in roman types with incidental italic. First and only edition of a 1672 political pamphlet in the form of a spin-off from Henry Neville's very popular 1668 story of a voyage to the imaginary utopian/dystopian Isle of Pines. The present story is written as a conversation between three militia men on watch discussing the turbulent politics of 1672. One tells of his fictitious voyage and several years residence on a fictitious utopian island called Mallanbruino in the South Pacific. He says it is one degree south of the Isle of Pines. On Mallanbruino the industrious people were oppressed by an emperor but rose up and defeated him with help from a prince who also replaced the evil regents. They note the remarkable similarities to events in the Dutch Republic. The island then set up a new and fairer democratic representative political system bringing peace and happiness to the island. The three men conclude that the Dutch Republic should introduce such a system.Some spots and a small restoration to the extremities of the title-page otherwise in good condition. A fascinating but little-known pamphlet building political propaganda around a story related to the popular imaginary voyage to the Isle of Pines.l Knuttel 10600; M.
