1840AQ24366London: s.n. 1840. 6pp. Docket title to verso of final leaf. A trifle creased some very short tears to margins. A rare survival ordered to be printed by the House of Commons of copies of correspondence concerning the setting up of a British expedition to Niger to attempt to repress the foreign slave trade. The expedition organised by the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade and for the Civilization of Africa was ultimately mounted in 1841 using three British iron steam vessels to travel to Lokoja at the confluence of the Niger River and Benue River where treaties against the slave trade where achieved - despite significant casualties from illness amongst members of the expedition - with the cities of Aboh and Idah. OCLC records copies at four locations Florida Harvard NYPL and Oxford; COPAC adds no further. . First edition. Folio. [s.n.] unknown

Folio woodcut printer's device to title and verso of final leaf woodcut historiated initials; original white pigskin binding over wooden boards blind-tooled to a panelled design roll-tooled borders including one with images of the psalmist and evangelists another with humanist medallion portraits including those of Erasmus Luther and Melanchthon spine with four raised bands later paper label at head giving title in places. <p><p>First edition: a handsome copy in contemporary monastic pigskin binding of this mid-sixteenth century compendium of geographical knowledge by the Venetian writer Dominicus Marius Niger edited by Wolfgang Wissenburg. In the tradition of the great classical geographer Strabo Niger provides a description of the principal regions of the earth together with accounts of the habits customs and laws of its various peoples. The first eleven chapters describe the geography of Europe; four chapters deal with Africa and are followed by eleven concerning Asia. This edition also contains the Geographia of Laurentius Corvinus and an epitome of Strabo by Hieronymus Gemuseus first published in 1539. Hakluyt would later produce ten arguments to prove that the Northwest Passage had been successfully sailed: the first century BC writer Cornelius Nepos can't have been wrong he says " And for the better proof that the same authority of Cornelius Nepos is not by me wrested to prove my opinion of the North-West Passage you shall find the same affirmed more plainly in that behalf by the excellent geographer Dominicus Marius Niger who showeth how many ways the Indian sea stretcheth itself making in that place recital of certain Indians that were likewise driven through the north seas from India upon the coasts of Germany by great tempest as they were sailing in trade of merchandise".</p> <p>Adams records only two copies at Cambridge CUL and John's while OCLC identifies about 15 library copies but this is a rare work on the market with no copy appearing at auction in the last fifty years. No copy is held in an Australian library.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Ralegh's interest in Niger's work is noted by Nicholas Popper Walter Ralegh's History of the World and the Historical Culture of the Late Renaissance 2014 who references ". the notes Ralegh took while reading the work of Marius Niger. Very little is known about Niger beyond the fact that he also edited a 1518 edition of Ovid's Amores but after the Petri printing house's 1557 edition of his Geographiae he enjoyed a wide readership in Elizabethan England. Wolfgang Wissenburg the editor of this edition explained in his preface that the manuscript version of the work was "tarnished both by neglect and by worms but it also had been polluted and depraved by a certain corruptor into whose hands it unfortunately had come." Correcting the manuscript had taken significant labor as Wissenburg explained: "if not for repeated intense reading of the ancients I would not have been able to understand the genuine sense and mind of the author and restore his places and meanings. Correcting Niger's commentaries against ancient texts might have been a suspect method for a travel narrative but it ably reconstructed his method of compilation. Niger had constructed the text by synthesizing ancient geographical and historical works into an experiential narrative and his information on Bactria and Sogdiana was cribbed almost entirely from Ptolemy's material with periodic additions from Plutarch Quintus Curtius and others. Thus Wissenburg's technique of correction imitated Niger's method of composition. Ralegh often cited Niger regarding the geography of Asia both in the notebook and in the History and he relied heavily on Niger for Bactria and Sogdiana. Niger's descriptions of these areas appeared both in Ralegh's notes and on the maps themselves.".</p> </p> .
