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Cook's ship 'Resolution' as she was fitted for the South Seas voyage, this account features previously undisclosed and unpublished text from a passionate extempore letter written by Joseph Banks to the Earl of Sandwich May 30th 1772.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.

Nel saggio l'autore prende in esame il futuro commerciale dell'Europa e, nello specifico, dell'Italia, sottolineando la necessita' di incrementare i rapporti con l'Oriente soprattutto grazie al taglio dell'Istmo di Suez che consente di riprendere la via per l'Oriente, interrottasi con l'apertura della rotta atlantica. In appendice alcune riflessioni sulla Valle del Po, importante snodo commerciale italo-europeo, e zona ricca di risorse economiche.
- EDIZIONE ORIGINALE, COLORITURA COEVA -Decorativa mappa tratta dal "Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni", edito a Roma dal 1792 fino al 1801, opera che la Calcografia Camerale commissionò al Cassini al fine di sostituire l’ormai obsoleto "Mercurio Geografico".Giovanni Maria Cassini, Chierico Regolare Somasco fu geografo e cartografo, ma anche intagliatore di architetture e prospettive - uno dei migliori discepoli di Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Cassini fu uno degli ultimi sferografi italiani del Settecento ed i suoi globi ebbero una notevole diffusione, come pure questo "Nuovo Atlante Geografico".Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, leggere bruniture, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione.L'Atlante del Cassini fu ristampato dalla Calcografia Camerale nel primo quarto del XIX secolo, prima del 1839. Solo gli esemplari di prima edizione come questo sono stampati su carta vergata coeva e sono colorati a mano in epoca. Le tirature del XIX secolo sono già su carta meccanica, priva di vergelle, e generalmente in bianco e nero. FIRST EDITION, CONTEMPORARY OUTLINE COLOUR -The Italian painter and engraver, Giovanni Maria Cassini, produced this decorative map of Tahiti and Moorea, with the Marquesas shown in an inset. The map is filled with native names for regions on the island, with information taken from Captain Cook's explorations of the islands. A peaceful landscape scene with natives lounging on the shore accents the cartouche. Published in: Nuovo atlante geografico universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni. Roma, Calcografia camerale, 1792-1801.Cassini was geographer and cartographer but he was also good at engraving architectural items and perspectives – he was one of the best disciples Giovanni Battista Piranesi had. Moreover, Cassini was one of the last artists to engrave spheres in the XVIII century and his globes were quite famous and widespread, and realized the most important Italian Atlas of the XVIII century; his maps always bear a cartouche, extremely rich in colours and details. Copperplate with fine original hand colour, some foxing, otherwise in very good condition.
- EDIZIONE ORIGINALE, COLORITURA COEVA -Decorativa mappa dell'arcipelago Tonga tratta dal "Nuovo Atlante Geografico Universale delineato sulle ultime osservazioni", edito a Roma dal 1792 fino al 1801, opera che la Calcografia Camerale commissionò al Cassini al fine di sostituire l’ormai obsoleto "Mercurio Geografico".I primi ad approdare alle isole Tonga furono J. Lemaire e W. C. Schouten, ai quali questo gruppo di isole non si presentò ospitale, per il carattere degli abitanti (1616). Migliore accoglienza incontrarono nel 1643 Abel Tasman, che toccò il solo gruppo meridionale, e Samuel Wallis nel 1767. Il Cook, che vi approdò nel 1773, vi si trovò tanto bene, che le chiamò "Le isole degli Amici" (Friendly Islands); quando vi tornò nel 1777 vi indugiò quasi due mesi, mantenendo sempre ottimi rapporti con quegli abitanti. Le isole settentrionali furono scoperte nel 1781 dallo spagnolo F. A. Mourelle.Giovanni Maria Cassini, Chierico Regolare Somasco fu geografo e cartografo, ma anche intagliatore di architetture e prospettive - uno dei migliori discepoli di Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Cassini fu uno degli ultimi sferografi italiani del Settecento ed i suoi globi ebbero una notevole diffusione, come pure questo "Nuovo Atlante Geografico".Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, leggere bruniture, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. FIRST EDITION, CONTEMPORARY OUTLINE COLOUR -The Italian painter and engraver, Giovanni Maria Cassini, produced this attractive map of the Tonga Islands, with Cook's tracks decoratively traced between them.

Già scoperte nel 1607 da P. Fernandes Queirós, furono riscoperte da S. Wallis nel 1767 e chiamate Isole della Società da J. Cook nel 1769, in onore della Royal Society.L'Isola di Natale deve il suo nome al capitano inglese William Mynors, che avvistò l'isola nel Natale del 1643 a bordo della nave Royal Mary.Giovanni Maria Cassini, Chierico Regolare Somasco fu geografo e cartografo, ma anche intagliatore di architetture e prospettive - uno dei migliori discepoli di Giovanni Battista Piranesi - Cassini fu uno degli ultimi sferografi italiani del Settecento ed i suoi globi ebbero una notevole diffusione, come pure questo "Nuovo Atlante Geografico".Incisione in rame, coloritura coeva dei contorni, leggere bruniture, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. FIRST EDITION, CONTEMPORARY OUTLINE COLOUR -The Italian painter and engraver, Giovanni Maria Cassini, produced this attractive map of the Tonga Islands and Christmas Island.The Society Islands are a group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean and part of French Polynesia. It includes Bora Bora, Tahiti, Moorea, Taha'a and Huahine. The archipelago is suspected to have been named by Captain James Cook supposedly in honour of the Royal Society, the sponsor of the first British scientific survey of the islands; however, Cook himself stated in his journal that he called the islands Society "as they lay contiguous to one another."Christmas Island was first discovered on in 1615 by Captain John Milward of the East India Company ship, and it was named Christmas Island on 25 December 1643.Cassini was geographer and cartographer but he was also good at engraving architectural items and perspectives – he was one of the best disciples Giovanni Battista Piranesi had.
