Large folding map with outline colour in rear pocket one full page colour map five full page colour plates 78 plates with black and white or monotone photographic images many with five images to a page attractively arranged images captioned in Japanese 15pp 78 plates all edges gilt. Endpapers browned some very occasional light spotting silk covered boards worn with a little loss to silk at corners and head and tail of spine. 25.6 x 33.8 cm. The tradition of the annual training cruise for newly graduated Japanese naval officers started in 1903. The Anglo-Japanese Alliance which was signed only the year before the tradition of these cruises began made Japan a strong naval ally of Britain. The alliance with Britain meant these ships were warmly and enthusiastically welcomed in their British Empire ports of call. This photographic album one in the series issued to commemorate these annual voyages commemorates the cruise which took place between November 1925 and April 1926. The Washington Naval Treaty signed in 1922 restricted the naval power of major powers including Japan which may be why instead of two or three ships a single warship the Iwate completed this cruise. <br> <br>Following the short cruise to visit Japanese cities and China and Korea which each training voyage did the Iwate set off on the larger part of the cruise in November 1925. Leaving Japan the Iwate first sailed to Shanghai and then to Hong Kong Manila and Singapore. In Singapore pictures show the crew visiting the city including the botanical gardens. A beautiful full-page colour plate of Singapore in rain is featured. Leaving Singapore the cruise continued onto Batavia before reaching Fremantle just as the new year began. While in Australia the crew visited Perth Adelaide Melbourne Hobart and Sydney. <br> <br>In each port the crew took part in excursions visiting botanical gardens zoos and beaches. They also held open days on board where local dignitaries and the public were invited to enjoy Japanese hospitality on the Iwate. From Sydney the ship sailed to New Zealand and stopped at Wellington and Auckland. They had a special excursion to Rotorua by train. Then the ship sailed to Fiji Chuuk and Saipan before returning to Yokosuka Japan in April 1926. Images in this commemorative album show the Commandant and his officers with local dignitaries and mixing with the locals at the ports they visited <br> <br>This fascinating record offers an extensive and detailed photographic record of all the ports that were visited during the tour. The captions are in Japanese. The album also contains photographs of the crew as well as details of their lives on board. . 練習艦磐手. [Renshūkan Iwate]. hardcover

Suede torn with minor loss at head of spine and upper corner lower hinge opening at lower edge. A particularly good copy in a superior binding suggesting it was issued to a high ranking officer on the occasion of this special Royal cruise. 22 x 30cm. This photographic album was issued to commemorate the Japanese Naval Training Squadron's tour which took place in 1934 and 1935. Two war ships the Yagumo and the Asama cruised around Japan before departing for Korea and China. There they visited Incheon Dalian Qingdao and Shanghai before returning to Japan. They also visited Hsin-King Shinkyo the newly established capital of Manchukuo to met the Manchukuo Emperor where a panorama photograph of the whole group of officers was taken. The ships then set off on their main cruise to Australia and New Zealand visiting Taiwan Hong Kong Manila Bangkok Singapore and Jakarta enroute to Fremantle. A colourful art illustration of a Malay house is a memento of their visit to the area. Hong Kong and Singapore sections have a whole page panorama photograph of the harbour each and two additional pages of photographs of the city. The crew visited a British naval ship in Hong Kong. In Singapore they enjoyed cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city where peoples from different racial backgrounds live together. <br> <br>During their tour of Australia the ships visited Adelaide Melbourne and Sydney and made a courtesy call to Canberra. Their cruise then continued to New Zealand after visiting Wellington and Auckland the ships continued to Fiji and Apia Western Samoa before reaching Honolulu. Finally they headed westward to the Marshal Islands Chuk Saipan and the Bonin Islands before returning to Yokosuka Japan. <br> <br>Australian ports of call were Fremantle Perth Adelaide Melbourne and Sydney where the crew participated in local activities and also held open ship exhibitions where the crew demonstrated Sumo wrestling and Kendo to the local public. In Sydney the ships participated in the silver jubilee celebration of King George V with a light display. A magnificent large panorama of Circular Quay and the newly opened Harbour Bridge through to a view across to the Eastern suburbs is fascinating. The region of Circular Quay is particularly striking for its emptiness! There are many other pages showing photographs of their visit to Sydney and the Blue Mountains. The Commandant with the royal Princes also made a courtesy visit to Canberra and a page of photographs marks this occasion. <br> <br>In New Zealand the Yagumo and the Asama visited Wellington and Auckland. Here the crew had an excursion to Rotorua. The cruise continued on to Hawaii where the Princes were welcomed enthusiastically by the Japanese migrants. On the return trip to Japan the ships called into Micronesia including Chuuk and Saipan. <br> <br>This cruise was of particular importance as three members of the Japanese Royal Family were among the crew. Prince Asa'akira of the Kuninomiya Household was in charge of the artillery on the Yagumo and two young Princes were among the newly graduated naval officers. Their presence probably explains why this album is more substantial than others previously issued - with more panoramic views and photographic illustrations; detailed captions are included on the tissue guards. Also the crew had access to royal members and other dignitaries during the cruise. <br> <br>This interesting album offers an extensive and detailed photographic record of all the places visited during the tour. Some pages are delicately illustrated with local motifs in monochrome. The album also includes photographs of the crew detailing names and positions as well as including information about lives on board. Photographs of local receptions and dignitaries at each port visited are featured. All indications are that the ships were warmly welcomed by the host countries and cities as well as the local Japanese residents. This edition was not circulated widely and is bound with suede leather cover special finish from other copies. It was probably offered to somebody important a memento of the Japanese Naval Training's Squadron's tour with three royal household members. . 昭和九・十年度練習艦隊司令部. [Shōwa K hardcover

Partly uncut untrimmed. With a few contemporary corrections in the text in ink like in other copies. Some stains on the cover. Inside clean. Overall in fine condition. First edition. Sewn binding. Protected with blank paper wrappers. 6 52 2 p. <p>A scarce and interesting source of the French efforts to colonize Guiana in the late 18th century. <p><br /> By the Treaty of Paris in 1763 France lost almost all her possessions in the Americas thus the relevance of her remaining islands on the Antilles and the territories in the Guianas dramatically increased. The first ill-fated attempt to colonize Guiana with some 12000 men in 1763 failed with a loss of about ten thousand settlers killed by tropical diseases and hostile natives. The second endeavor in 1776 was much more successful. Under the administration of Pierre-Victor Malouet and with the assistance of the Swiss engineer Jean Samuel Guisan — and the heavy use of slave work — France established flourishing agriculture in the colony. This period ended very soon in the early 1790s when French Guiana was partly turned into a penal colony for political prisoners of the Revolution. <p><br /> The present 1788 pamphlet describes the ill-fated first and the more successful second wave of colonization and designs an administrative plan based on slave work for the future success of the colony. Many chapters deal with the slaves and their work and the author states that the “government should pay for about 3000 African slaves to be introduced annually to populate Guyane until they are numerous enough to reproduce themselves.†p. 15 <p><br /> The essay was published anonymously but the author’s name and title were added in ink by a contemporary hand to the title page of the copy held at the British Library however for the most part it remained indecipherable to us: Par M. B… Contrôleur de la marine …. <p><br /> Extremely scarce we could trace copies in institutional holdings only in France BnF Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève and the UK BL.<br /> Sabin 29193; Hogg 1113 The African Slave Trade and Its Suppression: A Classified and Annotated Bibliography of Books Pamphlets and Periodical; Conlon 88:1966 Le siècle des lumière.

Decorated title in green-blue & black w/ illustrated border 9 colour-tinted photo plates with text illustrations diagrams yacht plans decorative compass head-piece borders. Italianate patterned blue softcovers embossed silver blocked lettering slight shelfwear very slight rubbing still VG bright copy. First edition of this very scarce Herreshoff Yacht sales catalogue issued by the Company after the win by “Mike†Vanderbilt’s 1884-1970 yacht Enterprise which shut down Lipton’s last America’s Cup hopes in 1930. This catalogue features a partial list of Herreshoff clients which reads as a who’s who of the yachting World at the opening of the Great Depression and the high point for the famed boatbuilding company. The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company began operation in 1878 after John Brown Herreshoff -- a blind boatbuilder since 1863 and his younger brother Nathanael Greene Herreshoff formed an amazingly successful partnership. They created a flourishing business of producing luxury steamboats for the wealthy steamships for the U.S. Navy and outstanding racing and cruising vessels. The company was amazingly successful until the 1920s largely relying on word-of-mouth and the invaluable prestige of several successful America’s Cup winners. In 1924 the business was sold to Haffenreffer whose family owned the Narragansett Brewing Company. This beautifully illustrated and appointed catalogue includes many photos of the America’s Cup yacht winners along with a number of different size sailing yachts and motor ships including the cruisers Vara and Ara.

Written on the eve of the Mexican War April 24 1846 to February 2 1848. Content summarized:<br /> <br /> Thomas Roney Midshipman writes a lengthy letter to his brother about his situation in Pensacola and requests his brother's help with family debts. He writes:“There is very little news from Mexico the latest is that Mr. Slidell has been informed that the government could not receive a Minister from the United States but that there were ready to receive a Commissioner for the settlement of the Texas question. We had consequently demanded his passports and is expected here very shortly in the Ship Manzo. The Mexicans have been making every preparation for a war…were preparing to place Santa Anna at the head of the government again….†Roney had been transferred from the U.S. Brig Bainbridge back to the Raritan. He was relieved as “master†and appointed "midshipman". Roney has no problem with this because the Raritan is more comfortable. Roney recently returned from Rio de Janerio and had to take large advance to pay off debts. The only regret of his demotion to midshipman is that he can’t send money home to Mother any more hopes brothers can make it up. He complains of the cost of his “mess bill†and outfitting upon leaving the coast of Brazil. He writes "Any place is better than the coast of Brazil unknown
