1781168512London: Printed by G. Bigg for C. Nourse; Maidstone: Printed for the Author by J. Blake; and sold by T. Payne and Son London 1781. Two "outstanding" works in the 18th-century demographic controversy First editions of the authors's probing analyses of the national population in the late 18th century "the two most outstanding replies" Glass p. 12 to Dr Richard Price's Essay on the Population of England and Wales 1780 which contended that the population of England and Wales had steadily declined over the previous centuries. In contrast the works of William Wales 1734-1798 and John Howlett 1731-1804 challenge Price's methodology data and biases to argue that the population had in fact doubled since 1688. Howlett's work in particular challenges the wider biases that Price demonstrated in his discussions of the socio-cultural aspects of populations. William Wales is perhaps most notable as the mathematician and astronomer on Cook's second voyage: in 1781 he was serving as master of the Royal Mathematical School at Christ's Hospital. The Examination was the first publication by John Howlett who primarily worked as a minister in Essex. Two works bound in a single vol. octavo 211 x 128 mm. Tables in the text of both vols. Contemporary half calf rebacked with the original spine laid down smooth spine with six compartments ruled and with floral ornaments in gilt original red morocco labels to second and third marbled paper sides edges sprinkled red.

178828294London: C. Buckton and sold by P. Elmsly 1788. ARGUABLY ONE OF THE RAREST PUBLICATIONS ON COOK’S FIRST VOYAGE. This example appears to be an unrecorded early issue as pages 93 & 96 are printed back-to-back and pages 94 & 95 are omitted. It is sold with a corrected issue of the complete text 1788 with pages 94 & 95 printed. <br /> <br /> This is the first scientific publication relating to Captain Cook’s first voyage on HMS Endeavour 1768-1771 to the Pacific. Officially it was to observe the transit of Venus in the South Pacific but secretly it was to search for the mythical Southern Continent. In the process Cook became the first European to set foot on New Zealand and the east coast of New Holland or Australia. Of all the works associated with the First Voyage this is one of the rarest. Only two examples of this work are recorded at auction on Rare Book Hub since 1985. It was not in the Parks collection arguably one of the finest in living memory on the works of Cook. It was also not in the libraries of Davidson or Parson’s. It includes two large charts representing the east coast of Australia and New Zealand much improved from those published in John Hawkesworth’s official account of the first voyage.<br /> <br /> William Wales bap.1734-96 was an English mathematician and astronomer. In 1768 the Royal Society sent him to Hudson Bay to observe a transit of Venus in June 1769. His observation were the first scientific measurements to be made in Canada and were taken at the Prince of Wales Fort. Whilst there he computed a series of tables for calculating longitude using chronometers. In 1772 he was appointed to the second voyage 1772-75 of Captain James Cook. He replaced his brother-in-law the astronomer Charles Green 1735-71 who had died on the return leg of the first voyage. His meticulous attention to detail is noted in his frustration ‘I begin to despair …of doing any thing to the Purpose here and yet I am such a slave to it that I have scarce time to eat’. Suarez noted that in Malekula he took 32 sets of observations and at Tanna 45! He was able to correct the longitude of the South Island of New Zealand placing it 40 minutes further west an error at Cook Strait of about 34 miles. Cook himself wrote in his journal that ‘Mr Wales whose abilities is equal to his assiduity lost no one observation that could possibly be obtained’ ODNB.<br /> <br /> This resulted in the more often found ‘The Original Astronomical Observations’ 1777 publishing the findings. Of that book Davidson wrote in 1970 that it was ‘as important as it is rare … I have not noted a copy for sale in recent years and should a copy become available it would certainly arouse great competition between collectors …’. He then became responsible for publishing the same from the results of Cook’s first voyage based on the observations of Cook Clerke and Green. Wales would become Master of Mathematics at Christ’s Hospital in 1775 and served on the Board of Longitude until his death in 1798.<br /> <br /> This example appears to be an unrecorded early issue as pages 94-95 are omitted 93 and 96 are printed back-to-back. The signature of this leaf is Bb and there is no Bb2. The next leaf paginated 97 bears the signature Cc as expected. The title page of the second copy is identical to the first as are all the other text pages with some slight variation in the darkness of the impression. In the second copy Bb is complete with the pages numbered 93-96 and CC begins on page 97. Pages 94 to 95 are continuations of the discussions about longitude begun on page 93. At this point Captain Cook's log was near the entrance of the harbour of Rio Janiero sic. The entire work is a detailed analysis of what the longitudinal readings are and should be referencing Capt. Cook's and Mr. Green's observations. <br /> <br /> The two charts are engraved by James Basire 1730-1802 who was the son of Isaac Basire 1704-68 also an engraver. He was clearly regarded in some standing as he was named engraver to the Society of Antiquaries in 1759 and to the Royal Society in 1770. That of the east coast of New Holland extends from Point Hicks in the south to the tip of Cape York with accompanying track of the ‘Endeavour’. The book records the observation not only of Cook but his predecessors in the Pacific; John Byron on the Dolphin 1764-66 Samuel Wallis on the Dolphin 1766-68 and Philip Carteret on the Swallow 1766-69. The final third of the book is on ‘Deductions from the Observations’. An extremely rare work of great significance.

98574London printed for J. Nourse opposite Catherine-Street Strand 1778. . First edition. 8vo 22 x 14 cm ii 110 pp. expert marginal restoration to last six leaves affecting 4 words on last page now in ink facsimile a couple on the penultimate and page numbering to the others old staining to title and first leaf of text well bound in modern half-calf gilt red morocco label a well margined copy untrimmed on the fore-edge and other than the defects mentioned a good clean example. <br /> One of the rarest items concerning the Second Voyage. 'Wales who was the astronomer in the Resolution challenges the accuracy of a number of the statements in George Forster's account of Cook's Second Voyage and speaks in very disparaging terms of the elder Forster' Holmes. The errors in the work were apparently only very minor but there was considerable ill feeling directed towards the Forsters by some members of the expedition. It may be said that those who were inclined to support Lord Sandwich's shabby treatment of the elder and younger Forster were prominent among those only too ready to accuse the German scientists of all kinds of misdeeds. <br /><br />On page 48 the words 'and his son' have been inked out as in all known copies.<br /> Beddie 1292; Hocken 19; Holmes 30; Sabin 101031; not in Hill.
