1751SB-22550Göttingen, Vandenhoeck, 1751. 13 Bl., 467 S. Neuerer brauner Halblederband mit Lederecken und dreiseitigem Farbschnitt.. Mit 2 Kupfertafeln. Reisebeschreibung des Botanikers und Forschungsreisenden Johann Georg Gmelin (1709 - 1755) über seine Teilnahme an der "Großen Nordischen Expedition" bzw. "Zweiten Kamtschatkaexpedition" in den Jahren 1733 bis 1743. Ziel dieser unter der Leitung des Marineoffiziers Vitus Bering ("Kolumbus des Zaren", 1681 - 1741) unternommenen Expedition war vor allem die nähere Erkundung des bis dahin wenig erforschten Sibiriens und der nördlichen Küsten Rußland sowie der Seewege von Ostsibirien nach Nordamerika und Japan. Gmelin, der 1728 im Alter von erst 19 Jahren an der Universität Tübingen in den Fächern Medizin und Naturwissenschaften promoviert hatte, erlangte zur Fortsetzung seiner Studien ein Stipendium der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in St. Petersburg und 1731 eine Professur für Chemie und Naturgeschichte an der dortigen Universität. Ein Jahr darauf wurde er auf seine Bewerbung hin von Zarin Anna Iwanowna für die große Expedition ausgewählt. Die zehnjährige Reise bildete die Grundlage für Gmelins einschlägiges, in vier Bänden herausgegebenes Werk "Flora Sibirica sive Historia plantarum Sibiriae". Im hier vorliegenden Band 1 seines umfangreichen Berichtes beschreibt Gmelin den ersten Teil seiner Reise, die ihn über die Stationen Jaroslawl, Kasan, Tobolsk, Semipalatinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk (Öskemen), Tomsk, Jenisseisk und Irkutsk bis Jakutsk führen sollte, von 1733 bis zum Mai 1735.

1761E6754xxxiii270215148xix1 pages 14 of 18 engraved plates maps many folding and index. Quarto 10 1/4" x 8 1/4" in original leather binding. First edition.<br /><br />Richard Owen Cambridge was a British poet. He was educated at Eton and at St John's College Oxford. Leaving the university without taking a degree he took up residence at Lincolns Inn in 1737. Four years later he married and went to live at his country seat of Whitminster Gloucestershire. In 1751 he removed to Twickenham where he enjoyed the society of many notable persons. Horace Walpole in his letters makes many jesting allusions to Cambridge in the character of news-monger. His chief work is the <i>Scribleriad</i> 1751 a mock epic poem the hero of which is the Martinus Scriblerus of Alexander Pope John Arbuthnot and Jonathan Swift. The poem is preceded by a dissertation on the mock heroic in which he avows Cervantes as his master. The satire shows considerable learning and was eagerly read by literary people; but it never became popular and the allusions always obscure have little interest for the present-day reader. He made a valuable contribution to history in his <i>Account of the War in India on the Coast of Coromandel from the year 1750 to 1760</i> 1761. He had intended to write a history of the rise and progress of British power in India but this enterprise went no further than this one work as he found that Robert Orme who had promised him the use of his papers contemplated the execution of a similar plan. The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge includes several pieces never before published. It contains an <i>Account of his Life and Character</i>by his Son George Owen Cambridge 1803 the Scribleriad some narrative and satirical poems and about twenty papers originally published in Edward Moore's paper The <i>World</i>. His poems are included in Alexander Chalmers' English Poets 1816.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Previous owner's name in neatly written dated 1806 on front end paper with his book plate on front past down with his library stamp.

1854215028Japan. Circa1854. Black and white woodblock map with illustrations 32.2 x 41.5cm. Laid down on thick paper. Printed black border line at lower corner and occasionally in other areas along the border not printed otherwise good. This woodblock print map shows the defence layout around Tokyo Bay against the arrival of the American fleet. Names of lords who are responsible for defending particular areas are written with their rankings in terms of wealth sizes. In the centre the American ships are illustrated in detail. There are five sailing ships painted in red and three steam ships. These eight ships entered the bay on 6 February 1854. Thus this map most likely depicts the scene around that time. A caption on the left reads: 'The United States of America founded by Washington 77 years ago sent Matthew Perry with the President's letter in 1853; Perry revisited Edo in 1854.' . unknown

Sabin 36805 First French edition.<br /><br />Antonio de Ulloa 12 January 1716 – 3 July 1795 was a Spanish general explorer author astronomer colonial administrator and the first Spanish governor of Louisiana. He was born in Seville the son of an economist. Ulloa entered the navy in 1733. In 1735 he was appointed with fellow Spaniard Jorge Juan a member of the French Geodesic Mission a scientific expedition which the French Academy of Sciences was sending to Ecuador to measure a degree of meridian arc at the equator led by Pierre Bouguer. He remained there from 1736 to 1744 during which time the two Spaniards discovered the element platinum. In 1745 having finished their scientific labors Ulloa and Jorge Juan prepared to return to Spain agreeing to travel on different ships in order to minimize the danger of losing the important fruits of their labors. The ship upon which Ulloa was traveling was captured by the British and he was taken as a prisoner to England. In that country through his scientific attainments he gained the friendship of the men of science and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In a short time through the influence of the president of this society he was released and was able to return to Spain. He published an account of the people and the countries they have met 1748 which was translated into English as A Voyage to South America. He became prominent as a scientist and was appointed to serve on various important scientific commissions. He is to be credited with the establishment of the first museum of natural history the first metallurgical laboratory in Spain and the observatory of Cadiz. In 1758 he returned to South America as governor of Huancavelica in Peru and the general manager of the quicksilver mines there. He held this position until 1764. He arrived on 5 March 1766 in New Orleans to serve as the first Spanish governor of West Louisiana. The French colonists refused to recognize Spanish rule and de Ulloa was expelled from Louisiana by a Creole uprising during the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. For the remainder of his life he served as a naval officer. In 1779 he became lieutenant-general of the naval forces. As a result of his scientific work in Peru he published Madrid 1784 Relación histórica del viaje á la América Meridional which contains a full accurate and clear description of the greater part of South America geographically and of its inhabitants and natural history. In collaboration with the Jorge Juan mentioned above he also wrote Noticias secretas de América giving valuable information regarding the early religious orders in Spanish America.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Sever worming to spines exterior hinges cracked point chipped library stamps to title pages else a good copy of a scarce item.
