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>.

Hill In 1699.<br /><br />First published in 1694 which contained only two maps The book is important because it contains one of the earliest English accounts of Abel Janszoon Tasman's famous voyage of 1642 from Batavia during which he discovered Tasmania and New Zealand and visited Tonga and Fiji Hill 1475.<br /><br />Rear Admiral Sir John Narborough RN was an English naval commander of the 17th century who served with distinction during the Anglo-Dutch Wars and against the Barbary Coast pirates. He was descended from an old Norfolk family. He received his commission in 1664 and in 1666 was promoted lieutenant for gallantry in the action with the Dutch fleet off the Downs in June of that year. After the peace he was chosen to conduct a voyage of exploration in the South Seas. He set sail from Deptford on November 26 1669 and entered the Straits of Magellan in October of the following year. In 1670 he visited Port Desire in Argentina and claimed the territory for the Kingdom of Great Britain but returned home in June 1671 without accomplishing his original purpose. A narrative of the expedition was published at London in 1694 under the title <i>An Account of several late Voyages and Discoveries to the South and North</i>. During the Third Anglo-Dutch War Narborough was second captain of the Lord High Admiral's ship the Prince and conducted himself with such conspicuous valor at the battle of Solebay Southwold Bay in May 1672 that he won special approbation and shortly afterwards was made rear-admiral and knighted. In 1675 he was sent to suppress the Tripoline piracies and by the bold expedient of dispatching gun-boats into the harbor of Tripoli at midnight and burning the ships he induced the them to agree to a treaty. Shortly after his return he undertook a similar expedition against the Algerians. In 1680 he was appointed commissioner of the Navy an office he held till his death. He was buried at Knowlton church Kent where a monument has been erected to his memory. The island of Fernadina the youngest and westernmost island of the Galapagos Archipelago was originally named 'Narborough Island' in his honor by the 17th century buccaneer William Ambrosia Cowley.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Marginal foxing soiling and damp staining through out paper fault across second C2 affecting one letter some rubbing hinges and corners else a better than good copy.
