181824993London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched<br/> <br/> A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland.<br/> <br/> After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733. Stitched later wrappers. The introduction of a bounty for ships over 200 tons. 3.
