Beebe became world famous for his record breaking descent into the depths of the sea in the bathysphere in the 1930's. He was an accomplished naturalist but was also an ornithologist, entomologist, ichthyologist, ecologist and taxonomist as this volume clearly illustrates. There is also a chapter on Indian Charms by James Rodway. Included wtih this book is Beebe's article, 'The High World of the Rain Forest; In the Trinidad Jungle, Naturalist and Artist Work Together to Portray a Teeming Animal Kingdom Men Seldom See'. in the National Geographic magazine, June 1958, an 18 page article with two photos of Beebe and many full-page paintings by Guy Neale of butterflies and other insects, and the author's 12 rules for observing wild birds and animals in the forest (very good condition).

Second edition published after quarto edition of the same year.<br /><br />Frederick William Beechey 17 February 1796 – 29 November 1856 was an English naval officer and geographer. He was the son of Sir William Beechey RA and was born in London. 1806 he entered the Royal Navy and saw active service during the wars with France and America. In 1818 he served under Lieutenant afterwards Sir John Franklin in David Buchan's Arctic expedition of which at a later period he published a narrative. In the following year he accompanied Lieutenant W. E. Parry in HMS Hecla. In 1821 he took part in the survey of the Mediterranean coast of Africa under the direction of Captain afterwards Admiral William Henry Smyth. He and his brother Henry William Beechey made an overland survey of this coast and published a full account of their work in 1828 under the title of Proceedings of the Expedition to Explore the Northern Coast of Africa from Tripoly Eastward in 1821-1822. In 1825 Beechey was appointed to command the HMS Blossom. His task was to explore the Bering Strait in concert with Franklin and Parry operating from the east. In the summer of 1826 he passed the strait and a barge from his ship reached 71°23'31" N. and 156°21'30" W. near Point Barrow which he named a point only 146 miles west of that reached by Franklin's expedition from the Mackenzie river. The whole voyage lasted more than three years and in the course of it Beechey discovered several islands in the Pacific and an excellent harbor near Cape Prince of Wales. In July 1826 he named the three islands in the Bering Strait. Two were the Diomede Islands that Vitus Bering had named in 1728: "Ratmanoff Island" Big Diomede and "Krusenstern Island" Little Diomede. Beechey called the uninhabited third islet "Fairway Rock" which is still its contemporary name. One of his crew Petty Officer John Bechervaise gave a detailed account of the voyage in his Thirty Six Years if a Seafaring Life by an Old Quartermaster published privately in 1839. In 1831 there appeared his Narrative of a Voyage to the Pacific and Beering's Strait to Co-operate with the Polar Expeditions 1825-1828. In 1835 and the following year Captain Beechey was employed on the coast survey of South America and from 1837 to 1847 carried on the same work along the Irish coasts. He was appointed in 1850 to preside over the Marine Department of the Board of Trade. In 1854 he was made rear-admiral and in the following year was elected president of the Royal Geographical Society. Beechey Island where Sir John Franklin wintered is named after him.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Name neatly excised from head corner of titles small inconspicuous stamp to last pages.

Reliure de l’époque en plein veau marbré, dos à 5 nerfs orné caissons et fleurons dorés, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, tranches rouges. 4ff, 471pp. Exemplaire complet de son frontispice, 36 vignettes et de ses 5 cartes. Jacques Nicolas Bellin entra au Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine peu après la création de celui-ci, en 1721, et y passa toute sa vie. Nommé ingénieur hydrographe en août 1741, il incarne le type même du géographe en chambre car il ne voyagea jamais lui-même et se borna à travailler sur les documents qui lui étaient fournis par les navigateurs. Il a compilé en cinquante ans d’activité une masse énorme de connaissances géographiques de son temps en plagiant bien souvent les travaux des marins comme d’Après Mannevillette qui déposa à ce propos une plainte à l’Académie des Sciences. Il a publié 59 cartes de toutes les régions du monde, réunies en volumes sous le titre d’ « Hydrographie française » (1753) puis en 1764 le « Petit Atlas Maritime » en 5 volumes qui fut pendant plusieurs décennies le bréviaire des navigateurs. Auteur d’une « Nouvelle méthode pour apprendre la géographie » (1769), il fut membre de l’Académie de Marine et de la Société royale de Londres. (Taillemite)

Royal octavo 9¼x5½" in publisher's original green cloth spine lettered in gilt covers decorative blind stamped. First Edition.<br /><br />In 1825 Edward Belcher accompanied Frederick William Beechey's expedition to the Pacific and Bering Strait as a surveyor. In 1836. he commanded a surveying ship on the north and west coasts of Africa and in the British seas. Belcher took up the work which Beechey had left unfinished on the Pacific coast of South America. He was on board the bomb vessel HMS Sulphur which was ordered to return to England in 1839 by the Trans-Pacific route. Belcher made various observations at a number of islands which he visited having been delayed by being dispatched to take part in the war in China in 1840. On 26 January 1841 the then Commander Belcher landed on Possession Point at the north shore Hong Kong Island and made the first British survey of Hong Kong harbor. After the war's end in 1842 he reached home and for his services was made a Knight Bachelor in the following year. He was then engaged in HMS Samarang in surveying work in the East Indies the Philippines Geomun-do Port Hamilton and other places until 1847. In 1852 Belcher led the last and largest Admiralty expedition to rescue Sir John Franklin. He was also to look for his former surveying officer in Hong Kong Richard Collinson and Robert McClure whose ships had not been seen after entering the Bering Strait. He did a great deal of sledge exploration rescued McClure and abandoned four of his five ships in the ice. He had five ships: Assistance Belcher Resolute Henry Kellett second mate George Nares the steam tenders PioneerSherard Osborn and Intrepid Leopold McClintock and the depot ship North Star William Pullen. Belcher and one tender were to enter Wellington Channel where Franklin was thought to be while Kellett was to go west to Melville Island and look for Collinson and McClure. North Star was to stay at Beechey Island as a supply base. He left the Nore in April 1850. By early winter Assistanceand Pioneer were frozen in at Northumberland Sound to the north of Wellington Channel while Resolute and Intrepid were frozen in off Melville Island Arctic—the first ships this far west since William Edward Parry in 1819. A great deal of exploration was done by man-hauled sledges. In April 1853 Leopold McClintock and others left the Resolute on sledges and returned 105 days later having covered 1400 miles and discovered Prince Patrick Island. Another party went west and discovered Robert McClure whose ship was frozen in at Mercy Bay. Belcher went north by sledge and found a channel at the northern tip of Devon Island hinting that Franklin might have used it to escape to Baffin Bay. When the ice broke up that summer he pushed his ships up Wellington Channel and became trapped again. By February 1854 Belcher was becoming increasingly worried about the safety of his ships and men. In April he ordered Kellett to abandon his ships and return by sledge to North Star. Belcher abandoned his two ships in late July. Aided by two ships that showed up at Beechey Island Phoenix and Breadalbane the whole party returned to England. Belcher went through a court martial which was automatic for any captain who had lost a ship. He was exonerated but his sword was returned to him 'without observation'. He never again received an active command. Curiously Resolute broke free of the ice and drifted all the way to Davis Strait where it was picked up by an American whaler.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some staining and wear to covers spines a bit faded ends chipped and worn rear joint of Vol. I with chipping and loss; hinges repaired at endpapers some light foxing and occasional mostly marginal damp staining within the three folding maps which should be loose in a pocket not present; overall good uncommon in the original cloth.
