British Empire in America Containing the History of the Discovery Settlement Progress and Present State of All the British Colonies On the Continent and Islands of America . . . With Curious Maps of the Several Places Done from the Newest Surveys. By Herman Moll Geographer 2 Volumes Complete

17088917London: John Nicholson 1708. Full Leather. Very Good binding. Octavo. xxxviii 2 412; 2 382 2 ads 32 index pp. maps. First edition. Contemporary paneled-calf boards with modern reback. Title page to Volume 1 and four of the eight maps are lacking but are supplied in tasteful facsimile. The maps in facsimile are the North America New England Virginia and Maryland and Carolina. Bindings are solid and presently nicely; contents are clean and bright; but for the maps and title page this is an exceptional set. Of this work William Reese writes: "This basic 18th-century reference work on British America . . . offers an excellent comprehensive survey of Great Britain's American colonies at the point when those on the mainland of North America had grown past their initial phase and were expanding rapidly in population and productivity. . . . This important contemporary work would probably have been the first point of reference for any Englishman at the time" Reese Struggle for North America 1. Usually attributed to Oldmixon who penned the dedication but occasionally gets attributed to Moll according to Sabin. A significant work by the British historian.

TAYLOR AND SKINNER'S MAPS OF THE ROADS OF IRELAND: SURVEYED IN 1777 AND CORRECTED DOWN TO 1783

1783ST19355London: Engraved by G. Terry and Sold by T. Longman London and W. Wilson Dublin 1783. Second Corrected Edition. 260 x 155 mm. 10 1/4 x 6". XXVII 289 pp. 4 leaves index. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards flat spine divided into panels by gilt rules red morocco label very neat repair to head of front joint and top of spine. Engraved title page with vignette and dedication leaf large folding map of Ireland and 289 engraved maps. Title page with early ink signature of Jos. Sabine. Moreland & Bannister p. 190; Tooley "Maps and Mapmakers" p. 94. Small signs of age and wear to the binding including slight crackling and nicks to the spine folding map with faint dampstain to tail margin two negligible ink spots to blank area on the map of the Irish Sea but A VERY APPEALING COPY quite clean and remarkably fresh internally and in an entirely solid period binding. This is the second corrected edition of the first comprehensive road atlas of Ireland offered here in especially attractive condition. In response to increasing demand for accurate maps of the country's road system the Irish House of Commons commissioned George Taylor and Andrew Skinner who together had previously produced the first road atlas of Scotland among other works to undertake a survey of the land. Taylor and Skinner completed their work in 1777 and published the first edition of their findings in 1778. This second edition includes updates to the year 1783 as well as an additional map no. 289. Renowned for their precision and detail Taylor and Skinner's maps clearly show roads crossroads and bridges as well as topographical features such as hills lakes and rivers including the direction of the water flow; landmarks such as castles churches and ruins; and the names of local landlords and their homes. The maps appear either as half-page strips or in full-page and the distances are given in both Irish and English miles 11 Irish miles being equal to 14 British miles. The robust list of subscribers which includes a number of earls viscounts lords bishops and British and Irish army men demonstrates the great need for and widespread success of this important work. Our former owner may well be the famed and controversial naturalist Joseph Sabine 1770-1837 who often signed his name as "Jos. Sabine" as seen here. He certainly had good reason to own maps of Ireland. He was from an Anglo-Irish family himself and was Honorary Secretary of the Horticultural Society a position which at the time carried great clout in the botanical community and one that presupposed knowledge of geography across the realm. DNB tells us that "Sabine played a leading part in the establishment of the society's garden first at Hammersmith and afterwards at Chiswick; in sending out David Douglas and others as collectors; in starting local societies in connection with the Horticultural Society; and in growing and distributing new and improved varieties of flowers fruits and vegetables throughout the country." While not a rare book this is the kind of volume that would have normally encountered frequent and inevitably damaging use so to find a copy as well preserved as this one is a lucky occurrence.

Suitte du journal depuis le départ de Manille NIII 1755.

1755ABC_474521755. Manuscript of 24 pages 6 printed maps on cardboard. This wonderful logbook details the journey of a French captain from Manila to the Maluku Islands in todays Indonesia. The journey took place during the months of March to May of 1755. The captain of the ship recounted with great detail the events of every day of the journey with detailed daily accounts of the weather winds manoeuvres of the ship its departures anchorages and precise coordinates at every point of the journey. The captain furthermore had a keen eye for the geographical and nautical details along the journey. He recounted the exact locations of for example sandbanks and bays where ships and their crews can take provisions and fresh water. The accounts are detailed and captivating: "After our boats were back on board we set sail . in the afternoon to moor under the old Portuguese fort on the Solor island Indonesia the winds for the tide were fresh at 1:34 a.m. . sand and gravel and then I went back to mooring. The pavilion of the fort . the village is under the said fort at 3 cables from us .". The captain goes on to describe the geographical features of the islands as well as other places en route with great detail. Curiously we find inscriptions in Spanish and the names of one don Phelipe Qui who describes himself as el piloto and one Padre Don Estevan de Melo. The latter might be identical with Don Estevan Roxas y Melo a native of Lima Peru and secretary to the Archbishop of Manila Rodriguez since 1736. Roxas y Melo was part of the 1751 reconstruction of the Cathedral of Manila working under the auspice of the Italian architect Juan de Uguccioni.The logbook comes with six printed maps partly illustrating the journey of the captain pasted on contemporary cardboard. They depict the Bay of Sulavesi with the city of Bantang Pitcairn the coast of New Guinea the coast of Queensland the Santa Cruz Islands in the present-day Solomon Islands and Alejandro Selkirk Island. The plates stem from the French translation of James Hawkesworths An Account of the Voyages Hawkesworth Relation des voyages entrepris par ordre de sa Majesté Britannique actuellement regnante; pour faire des découvertes dans l'hemisphère meridional Paris 1774.Some holes on the first sheet not affecting the text. Small water damage some slighlty affecting the text. Remnants of seals on last page. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
