Ferguson 329; Sabin 104.633 First edition first printing.<br /><br />Captain James Wilson 1760–1814 brought the first British missionaries to Tahiti on ship Duff in 1797. Wilson was a deeply religious man. The missionaries he brought were from the London Missionary Society. There were thirty men six women and three children. Wilson on the Duff also explored and visited many islands in the Pacific some of which had never had any recorded visit by a European. Among these the most important are Mangareva in the Gambier Islands and Pukarua in the Tuamotus. Duff Paid a visit as a missionary ship to Tahiti during 1796 as a result Missionary Society has first been established in Tahiti. Three years after the establishment the directors of the Society appointed a committee to consider a suitable memorial for presentation to Wilson for his services in helping to establish the first mission in the South Seas.<br /><br />Wilson fought with the British army during the American War of independence and then served nine years with the East India company. While in India he was captured by Hyder Ali and after a daring bid for escape was imprisoned in the black hole of Seringapatam. After his release he continued service as a captain and despite illness and further dangerous missions accumulated sufficientr esources to retire. throughout it all Wilson remained fast in his irreligious opinions. While living in England with his niece however he was converted to an evangelical faith. he felt called to volunteer for missionary service after reading the Evangelical Magazine. Haweis did not know Wilson before receiving a letter volunteering his services in the Pacific. his skills and newfound devotion seemed perfectly suited to the situation and Haweis saw him as "God's man." the Duff arrived at Tahiti on march 5 1797. the settlement at Tahiti of twenty of the missionaries five of them with wives and two children gives further examples of the role of the missionary captain. A pattern of intercourse had already been established by other voyagers according to which the captain of a vessel would take the leading role in meetings. It is therefore not surprising that the focus of the chapter describing the arrival is on meetings between significant island figures and Captain Wilson. For example Manemane a "high priest" Frommo'orea sought Wilson as a tayo or friend not Jefferson the president of the missionaries.<br /><br />The official account of the first mission appeared in 1799 under the lengthy title A missionary voyage to the southern Pacific Ocean performed in the years 1796 1797 1798 in the ship Duff commanded by Captain James Wilson compiled from thejournals of the officers and the missionaries; and illustrated with maps charts and views drawn by Mr William Wilson.it was placed firmly within the tradition of the voyages ofdiscovery by an introduction compiledby samuel Greatheed that described previous european contacts with the islands and anappendix "including details never before published of the natural and civil state of otaheite." the main narrative was taken from Wilson's journal with additions from his son and a journal kept by the missionaries during the period when the Duff was away from Tahiti at Tonga. Wilson dominated the events recorded in the narrative.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some offset toning from maps occasional foxing water mark to upper margin on some leaves two leaves miss-bound at back re-backed with contemporary blind stamped calf boards.

1970BOOKS000180<p>2 Volumes: xxxii368 pages with frontispiece five folding maps and ten plates; ix369-640 pages with frontispiece two folding maps six plates bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series volumes 138 and 139. First edition.<br /><br />By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarch of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities. This internal disunity made the Georgians easy victims of the power politics of the neighboring Ottoman and Safavid empires and by the end of the century the southward drive of the Russians intensified the struggle for military and diplomatic control over the whole of the Caucasian isthmus. As a result of this struggle seventeen embassies were exchanged between the Russian tsars and the Georgian kins ruling in Kakheti during the years 1564-1605. W E D Allen and Anthony Mango who undertook the translation have selected the documents relating to the embassies of 1589-90 and 1604-5. Although the writers seem to be frequently pre-occupied with questions of protocol their observations give a clear picture both of current Russian administrative and diplomatic practice and of the life and customs of the people of the Caucasus and Georgia. The texts are further enlivened by dramas such as the murder of the Kakhian King Alexander II and the secret negotiations for the marriages of the son and daughter of the Tsar Boris Godunov. The documents are of considerable geographical interest as they provide the earliest extant accounts of the crossing of the main chain of the Caucasus from north to south. Allen provides both a detailed background introduction and full commentary and notes on the texts. The second volume also contains some valuable genealogical tables which clarify the complicated relationships between the Caucasian royal and princely families and their connection with the Russian Ottoman and Persian ruling houses.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Some light rubbing to spine ends else better than very good copies in liker jackets.</p> Hakluyt Society hardcover

The son of the naturalist John Bartram. As a boy he accompanied his father on many of his travels to the Catskill Mountains the New Jersey Pine Barrens New England and Florida. In 1773 he embarked upon a four-year journey through eight southern colonies. Bartram made many drawings and took notes on the native flora and fauna and the native American Indians. In 1774 he explored the St. Johns River where he had memorable encounters with aggressive alligators and also visited a principal Seminole village at Cuscowilla where his arrival was celebrated with a great feast. He met Ahaya the Cowkeeper chief of the Alachua band of the Seminole tribe. When Bartram explained to the Cowkeeper that he was interested in studying the local plants and animals the chief was amused and began calling him Puc Puggy the flower hunter. Bartram continued his explorations of the Alachua Savannah or what is today Paynes Prairie. William Bartram wrote of his experiences exploring the Southeast in his book Travels through North & South Carolina East & West Florida the Cherokee Country the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulges or Creek Confederacy and the Country of the Chactaws Containing an Account of the Soil and Natural Productions of Those Regions Together with Observations on the Manners of the Indians published in 1791 and which is today simply known as Bartram's Travels. It was considered at the time one of the foremost books on American natural history. Many of Bartram's accounts of historical sites were the earliest records including the Georgia mound site of Ocmulgee. In addition to its contributions to scientific knowledge Travels is noted for its original descriptions of the American countryside. Bartram's writing influenced many of the Romantic writers of the day. William Wordsworth Samuel Taylor Coleridge and François René de Chateaubriand are known to have read the book and its influence can be seen in many of their works. Ephraim George Squier and Edwin Hamilton Davis in their book <em>Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley</em> name Bartram as "the first naturalist who penetrated the dense tropical forests of Florida."<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Some rubbing to original boards page 143 of volume one has small burn mark affecting text half title bound upside down in back old water stain to plate of volume two.

Autograph journal kept by the German naturalist Rudolf v. Willemoes-Suhm during his 3-year journey with the Challenger. Suhm was mainly concerned with Crustaceans and several new species were named by him. His journal covers the entire voyage until his tragic death from erysipelas on 13th September1875 while the ship was at Tahiti in the Pacific. His travel report remains unpublished and is a leading yet apparently untapped source on the history of the Challenger Expedition as well as research and discovery of the sea. Suhm born on 11. September 1847 in Glu®ckstadt on the Elbe River studied in Bonn Munich and Go®ttingen already at the age of 24 years he was a Professor of Zoology at the University of Munich. in 1872 he was appointed by Sir Charles Wyville Thomson the Scientific Director of the Challenger Expedition as the only German on the staff of the research carried out on behalf of the Royal Society. The posthumous journal covers the entire period from Suhms trip to a few days before his death in which his illness forced him to stop writing. It contains a wealth of information particularly the geographical and zoological research of the "Challenger". Suhm illustrated his records with small designs including many maps and some small Zoological representations. Die britische Challenger-Expedition 1872-1876 war die erste rein wissenschaftliche Forschungsreise. Das Expeditionsschiff HMS Challenger legte bei Ihrer Reise ca. 130.000 km zur¸ck und durchzog damit beinahe das gesamte Weltmeer. Mit dieser Expedition wurde der Grundstein f¸r die Ozeanographie gelegt. Wichtige Forschungsstationen waren die Bahamas die Marion-Inseln im s¸dlichen Eismeer Neuseeland die Auckland-Inseln und Neu-Guinea. Die Ergebnisse wurden in 50 B‰nden verˆffentlicht. unknown

1838WRCAM55549New York: H.R. Robinson 1838. Lithograph 12 1/2 x 20 inches. Light foxing and soiling. Two short closed tears in the right edge and left edge of the sheet. Very good. A very rare print satirizing the recently undertaken United States Exploring Expedition commanded by Charles Wilkes. The Expedition departed in August 1838 and Robinson's eagerness to satirize it and the politicians who supported it is ample evidence that the endeavor was not universally popular. The print is made up of three humorous vignettes. "The upper left is Charles Wilkes in a rowboat with an oarsman and two members of the scientific corps who make observations with a transit or telescope and draw fauna. The upper right image depicts a group of sailors and Charles Wilkes huddled together on the snow surrounded by a ring of polar bears and an upturned rowboat foxes penguins and a campfire. They are flying an inverted U.S. flag to signal distress. At the bottom between the two titles is an inset of the three Navy Commissioners Isaac Chaucey Charles Morris and Alexander S. Wadsworth at sea in a bowl. They are framed by a shield surmounted by a jester and flanked on the left by a man in naval uniform James Kirke Paulding Secretary of the Navy and a sailor with a sad expression on the right" - Harry T. Peters Collection at the Smithsonian Institution online catalogue. The print is "Respectfully inscribed to the Secretaries of the Navy and Army and the Board of Navy Commissioners by their humble servant Robinson Crusoe." <br> <br> Not in Reilly's catalogue of American political prints in the Library of Congress though OCLC does locate a copy at the Library of Congress. That is one of two copies listed on OCLC the other copy is at the American Antiquarian Society.
