Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued! Notes & Condition: Solely addressing the clamour surrounding Captain Cook's ship 'Resolution' as she was fitted for the South Seas voyage, this account features previously undisclosed and unpublished text from a passionate extempore letter written by Joseph Banks to the Earl of Sandwich May 30th 1772. Banks protests the design of the ship and urges the provision of a larger vessel. Followed by more diplomatic comments of the Navy Board, drawing from the Royal archives of the Windsor Castle, this brief report enlightens the scope of bitter feuding and controversies surrounding the voyage, potential shortcomings with the ship itself, and personal mandates which could have forever altered Captain Cook's paramount voyage. Excerpts from the text: [Joseph Banks]: "...I must be allowed to say that the ship will thus be if not absolutely incapable at least exceedingly unfit for the intended Voyage... the Shop where we are all to work if not sufficiently large will deprive the workmen of a possibility following their respective employments and prevent me from reaping the Fruit earned by voluntarily exposing myself to danger and incurring a material Expence." [The Navy Board]: "...Mr. Banks seems throughout to consider the Ships as fitted out wholly for his use; the whole undertaking to depend on him and his people..." End Excerpts. 8vo. 6 pages. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, very good and original condition.

Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Fascinating notes of an expedition formed to explore rumours regarding valuable mineral deposits said to be present around the vast and unexplored headwaters of the Fly and Sepik rivers in New Guinea. Organized on behalf of British and American mining interests, the party set off in two planes, piloted by Stuart Campbel of the Royal Australian Air Force and K. Garden. A compelling narrative leads the reader through hazardous terrain: the Mittages mountains and the valley of the Om; the Behrmann hills and Hindenburg range; the May and Screw rivers and introduces them to the Kiarikim, the Telifomin, the Fekelmin and the Atbalmin. Interesting descriptions of tribal customs, cannibalism, dress, social mechanisms, weaponry and diet. Further features a secion dedicated to the work of earlier explores such as Sir William Macgregor and D'Albertis.
1864WRCAM47423London 1864. 162pp. Folio. String-tied as issued. A bit tanned some small chips at the edges. Very good. The Thomas W. Streeter copy with his pencil notes on the titlepage. This House of Commons working paper is a continuation of their return dated July 10 1863 on the subject of constructing a telegraph line to British Columbia and the Pacific. The Hudson's Bay Company unsurprisingly was intimately involved in the machinations for the building of the line. They had made an agreement with the Canadian government to build the telegraph line from the Red River to the Pacific themselves but when they failed to do so a group of English bankers proposed to step in and do the job. The papers included herein provide much information on the qualities of the land between Lake Superior and British Columbia and the need for swift communication throughout and across the vast region. Also included is a memorial from the people of the Red River Settlement discussing their urgent need for the telegraph. <br> <br> The Streeter copy sold to Nebenzahl for $30 in 1969 and was still in his stock when the Reese Company bought the last of it in 2013; here it is.
