Octavo 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" bound in full leather with five raised spine bands with red label to spine in gilt lettering with decorative blind-stamped ruled edges. Compiled from papers and other materials of the Right Honourable George Lord Anson and published under his direction by Richard Walter M.A. Chaplain of his Majesty's Ship the Centurion in that expedition. Hill I pp 317-138. Third edition.<br /><br />"This is the official account of Anson's voyage. England at war with Spain in 1739 equipped eight ships under the command of George Anson to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America for the purpose of cutting off Spanish supplies of wealth from the Pacific area. Lord Anson who was a friend and patron of Benjamin Robins after returning from the voyage around the world in the Centurion appears to have entrusted to Robins for revision the account of the voyage which had been compiled from the journals by his chaplain Richard Walter. It is probable that Robins revised and edited the work wrote an introduction and added dissertations." Hill. Perhaps the most popular account of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century. Anson's account of harrying the Spanish of South America and the taking of the Manilla galleon with treasure with a contemporary value of $800000 and his circumnavigation has long enjoyed a distinguished place as a masterpiece in descriptive travel.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some small closed tears at the edges of the maps. Rebound in tooled leather with raised bands. Over all a very good to fine copy. John and Paul Knapton hardcover books

1808E0058ix366 pages. Duodecimo 7 1/4" x 4 1/4" in the original leather binding with black label in gilt to spine. Howes:354 First printed in 1806 in London in three volumes. Second printing.<br /><br />Thomas Ashe 1770-1835 was born in Dublin Ireland and was a soldier and memoirist. Much of his life was checkered with intrigue and fraud. His Memoirs and Confessions 1815 is an autobiographical account of 'criminal and delinquent' escapades beginning with the seduction of a girl in France. In America he edited the National Intelligencer and was arrested when attempting to steal treasures from churches in Latin America. His Travels in America first appeared in 1806. The narrative chronicles Ashe's travels by flatboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in 1806 and is one of the first travelogues written by a foreigner to comment specifically on the American inhabitants of the region. A unrestrained hatred of Americans can be found throughout the work. While the account is interesting and highly readable it was to create quite a stir and added to the wave of anti-British sentiment that would ultimately lead to the War of 1812.
