Jarman, Robert. JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE TO THE SOUTH SEAS, IN THE “JAPAN,” employed in the Sperm Whale Fishery, under the Command of Capt. John May. By Robert Jarman. First published at Beccles and London in 1838. Edited, with an Introduction, Notes, Chronology, and Index, by Robert M. Warneke, and faithfully reprinted from the original. Melbourne: Edition Renard 2009. 8vo, Limited New Edition; pp. XII, vi, 242, [243]-318; portrait, introduction, extensive notes, chronology and index. Melbourne; Edition Renard; 2009. ***Available shortly in a limited edition of 200 copies for sale, a new edition of the very rare account first published in two issues in 1838 and until now never reprinted - see Forbes 1104, also Bagnall 2685 and Ferguson 2526 (and 2526a). Robert Jarman, the son of a printer at Beccles, joined the crew as a young man of twenty years on a whaling voyage to the South Seas in 1831. During the next three to four years young Robert’s forecastle jottings were transformed into a lively and well-crafted tale. The primary theme is the hard, unrelenting search for whales, reflected in Jarman’s methodical recording of encounters with other whalers and elaborated with graphic descriptions of the excitements and dangers of whaling with the inevitable accidents, injuries, and tragic deaths. After cruising the Japan Sea, the ship reached the Hawaiian Islands at the end of October 1832 and anchored at Honolulu. “The author noted 18 whalers in port. He describes the harbor and the method by which ships were towed in, and the Honolulu Fort, and the town and its native people” (Forbes). He tells also of surviving gales and near disaster when the Japan was dismasted in a hurricane, which forced the stricken ship to Sydney for extensive repairs. Jarman gives an interesting account of Sydney, with perceptive comments on convicts and their management and the Aboriginals and their customs including the use of the boomerang. Subsequently the ship cruised around Rotuma, the Fiji Islands and New Zealand before returning to England. Along the way Jarman gives accounts of visits to bays and islands to trade for fresh provisions, and of longer stays at various ports for wood, water and to benefit the crew. A welcome respite from the rigors and grinding repetition of shipboard life, Jarman was obviously captivated by those of the natives who were friendly, and he perceptively and sympathetically described their modes of life, customs, and the effects of European intercourse and colonization. The scope and appeal of this book is enhanced by some lengthy passages on natural history, including observations on the social behaviour of sperm whales and encounters with sharks, other fish and birds. Because of several chance but pertinent events he was able to include commentaries on several dramatic episodes of Pacific maritime history, such as the Bligh mutiny and its aftermath, and recent massacres of ships crews by islanders -- a constant fear for lightly-armed visiting whalers.

EXTREMELY RARE ACCOUNT OF ANSON’S VOYAGE 12 Anson’s Voyage: AN AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE JOURNAL OF COMMODORE ANSON’S EXPEDITION, containing An exact Account of the several Transactions that happen’d; particularly of the Expeditions to Madeira, St. Julian’s, St. Catharine’s, and St. Juan Ferdinandez [sic]; the great Necessity the Seamen were under for Want of Provisions and of their being forced to live on Sea-Lions, Sea-Dogs, and other Creatures, and of their being obliged to drink their own Urine for Want of Water; of the terrible Storm tPublished from the Journals of several of the principal officers who attended him throughout the whole Expedition. The Whole embellished with Copper-Plates of all the remarkable Things that happen’d during the Voyage. London: Printed for C. Whitefield, in White Friars. M.DCC.XLIV. [1744]. 12mo, First Edition; pp. 316(last blank, page 315 misnumbered 515); frontispiece portrait, 4 folding plates (at pp. 23, 35, 51 and 125, the first trimmed close, but entire); full speckled calf with fully gilt spine in contemporary style by Aquarius; a Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 3 fine, generally clean and crisp copy; extremely rare. London; Printed for C. Whitefield; 1744.***Of the several unauthorized accounts of Anson’s famous voyage that appeared shortly after his return, and years before the official version of 1748, this seems to be indisputably the rarest. We have been unable to trace any record of sale apart from this copy and can find only two copies in libraries, one in the British Library, and another in the National Library of Scotland, to both of which this copy conforms. There appears to be no copy in North America or in Europe or in Australasia. Another edition was published in 1749, and this appears to be equally rare, if not rarer. We have been able to trace only the single copy in the University of Newcastle library in the U.K. The publication may well have been issued initially in weekly or fortnightly parts as various signatures are numbered from No III to No XV (the gatherings being somewhat irregular but mostly in alternate 8s and 4s, A to Cc), the first four signatures however do not bear any part numbers. The text gives every appearance of being “Authentic and Genuine” as claimed in the title, with detailed, dated, and for the most part daily, entries giving information additional to that in other accounts of Anson’s voyage such as the official account by Richard Walter and the accounts of Bulkeley and Cummins, Pascoe Thomas, etc., as well as corroborating these accounts in other particulars. This text is therefore an important source for accurate information on this famous voyage. In addition to the daily doings of the ships, there are extensive accounts of the places visited, their natural history, inhabitants etc. For example, detailed accounts are given of Juan Fernandez, Acapulco, several parts of the East Indies, Philippines, Canton & Singapore, Cape of Good Hope, Streights of Magellan, sealing activities, etc. This is a fascinating account of considerable importance and extreme rarity. #34188 A$65,000.00

A magnificent and highly attractive work, beautifully reproducing at original size all fifty-two of Bauer’s superb original finished drawings of zoological subjects (mammals, birds, fishes and reptiles) gathered on Matthew Flinders’ voyage. The subjects include the Bandicoot, Koala, Wombat, Wallaby and Platypus, several parrots and related species, as well as fish, a frog, skink and crab, etc., many of these drawings being the first scientific depiction of the species. Apart from a few small illustrations in books such as Marlene Norst’s ‘Ferdinand Bauer, the Australian Drawings’ (1989), these stunning watercolour drawings have never before been published. Alecto has used stochastic lithography to prepare the plates and printed them by hand one colour at a time on a FAG flatbed proofing press to wonderful effect. The Natural History Museum has undertaken not to sanction another printing of this magnificent work for at least fifty years. Each plate is blind embossed with the chops of the publishers and is titled and numbered in pencil. Loosely enclosed is an example of the original prospectus and pre-publication information. We understand that 10 of the 50 sets have been sold as individual prints, leaving only 50 complete sets in existence (including those ‘hors commerce’). #15695 A$16,500.00

A FINE COLLECTION OF PRESENTATION COPIES 58 [Bland, Dr. William; Editor]. JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY TO PORT PHILLIP, NEW SOUTH WALES, in 1824 and 1825. By W. H. Hovell and H. Hume, Esquires. Second Edition. Sydney: Published by James Tegg. Printed by Henry Bull. 1837. Demy 8vo in fours; pp. viii, 98(last printer’s colophon only); folding engraved “Map of Australia from Moreton Bay to the New Colonies in Australia Felix with the Discoveries of the Recent Expeditions in the interior in 1824-5 and 1835-6 Published by R[aphael] Clint, Sydney”, with the route outlined in red by hand; appendix; full contemporary dark plum roan, nicely panelled in blind & gilt; all edges gilt; unsigned and unticketed but almost certainly by the Sydney binder Kern; (the spine a little faded; lower edge of the map just shaved by the binder); a fine copy; very rare. Sydney; James Tegg; 1837. ***A special presentation binding with stamping in gilt on front board to “Coln. Perceval, C.B. from the Editor Wm. Bland.” Ferguson 2234; Wantrup 110 and page 187 (q.v.). A rare presentation copy of the first published account in book form of the first exploration into the Port Phillip district. The designation on title-page “Second Edition” is considerably misleading as the “First Edition” of 1831 (what Bland describes in his Preface to the present volume as the “first limited impression”) was evidently made up from preliminary printings in very few copies (Bland laments the lack of a supply of paper for its printing) and most of those few copies which have survived are incomplete. It is one of the legendary rarities of Australian exploration with only one or two copies in private hands, The South Australian library issued a facsimile of that “edition” in 1965 (reprinted 1971). Hume and Hovell’s exploration was of vast importance as numerous significant discoveries were made including the Hume (later renamed the Murray), Tumut, Ovens and Goulburn Rivers, the Australian Alps, and vast tracts of fertile and well-watered country. Their reports at last dispelled the notion of Oxley that the land to the south was worthless and paved the way for the exlorations of Sturt and Mitchell which followed. Bland’s work was edited from the journals of Hovell and Hume, neither of whom published accounts of their own until 1855 when Hume, stung into action by press reports which seemed to suggest that Hovell was taking all the credit for their discoveries, first published his “Brief Statement of Facts ....” [with] Bland, William.

Ferguson, 3992. Ferguson lists two “First Editions” of 1843 (F. 3572 & 3573), one of six pages royal octavo, (apparently usually without plates), and another which appears similar to the present work, but represented only in the National Library copy, and notes a third edition of 1867 (which, however, he does not list). Clearly an invention of significant importance for a country dependent for its economy on the export of wool. [with] Bland, William. LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR CHARLES AUGUSTUS FITZ ROY, Governor-in-Chief of New South Wales, &c. &c. &c. From William Bland, M.C January 11, 1850. Sydney: Printed by T.

Sydney; T. Forster; 1850. ***Stamped in gilt on the front board: “Coln. Perceval C. B. 12th Regiment”. Ferguson 5289. Bland comments on the financial state of the colony and the remedies proposed in England, such as a reduction of the drain upon the Land Fund from the colony, and revival of Transportation.Together, 6 works in 4 volumes, 8vo. Sydney; James Tegg [and others]; 1837-50. ***Similarly, but not identically bound in contemporary colonial presentation bindings, almost certainly executed for Bland by the Sydney binder Kern, and presented to Lt.-Colonel John Maxwell Perceval. The attribution of the bindings to Kern is based on the survival of similarly bound presentation copies of the Hume and Hovell account which contain Kern’s ticket. Colonel Perceval took up command of the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment in 1854, during which year it arrived at Van Diemen’s Land and served in Australia for six years. He attained the rank of General in 1874. #42475 A$48,000.00

A handsome production and an important work, being the first publication of Bligh’s original log. The first volume (undated) was issued late in 1936, see Du Rietz 1125. See also Pertelote 117: “In the light of enquiry, it seems clear that this was the first ship’s log to be published with full details. The transcription from the Admiralty records alone took three months, and the setting presented many difficulties. All the events of the day were recorded on the page devoted to that day in the space allotted to the hour, or even half hour, at which they were recorded. When necessary, hand-writing can be compressed, but not so type. The easy solution would have been to use various type-sizes, but this would have produced an ugly irregularity throughout the book. By arduous calculation, a standard setting able to absorb all irregularities was evolved. The volumes are unpretentious, and, if they have any beauty, it is like that inherent in good machinery, and resides in their functional simplicity--to be recognised by the expert, who can compare them in his mind’s eye with the horrid spectre of what, with less ambitious care, they would have been.” #21834 A$4000.00

67 Borchgrevink, C. E. FIRST ON THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT: Being an Account of the British Antarctic Expedition 1898-1900. By C. E. Borchgrevink, F.R.G.S. Commander of the Expedition.

London; George Newnes, Limited; 1901. ***Spence 151; U.S.N. 23-52.11; Renard 153; Rosove 45.A1(a or b). The original first issue binding of gilt- and silver-illustrated blue cloth for this book is such a stunning publisher’s binding that one may ask why one would want this copy, however this has been so nicely bound, a fine example of the genre, that one may be forgiven for admiring it. The prize label, to one H. N. Higgins, for Form V English, is dated 1904, which suggests that the book may have been bound from one of the copies in the much less impressive secondary binding of red cloth. Whatever the case, and this is now quite indeterminate, the result is most attractive and is an illuminating artefact from the period. It seems evident that the binding proper was executed in England, probably as part of a batch of volumes so bound for shipping to Colonial schools. On arrival at Geelong Grammar, a local binder was commissioned to add the school’s crest and a gilt border to the front and rear boards; the gilding for this border is not quite of the same colour or standard as the original binding (though still very attractive). The choice of subject matter reflects a higher standard of appreciation for the content than is often apparent in school prizes. It is a very fine, crisp and quite enchanting copy. #43051 A$4500.00

Edinburgh; Constable; 1818. ***An exceedingly thorough and complete social and political commentary of the Austro-Hungarian Empire including valuable observations on geography, crops, architecture and arts, manufacturing, religion, and particularly, the Gypsies: “The Appendix is composed of several independent articles, serving to illustrate various points in the text, and some of them, in conjunction with observations in other parts of the work, will assist in conveying information on the statistics of the whole Austrian Empire. To one valuable communication (in the Appendix) the author particularly claims attention. It was written by a friend during a residence in Spain in 1816-17, and although it speaks of a tribe of people inhabiting that peninsula, is strictly connected with the history of a curious part of the Hungarian population; a tribe which, under the various appellations of Bohemien, Zigeuner, Cygany, Tschingenes, Gitano, or Gypsey, has sprinkled itself all over Europe. The attention of the author had been formerly called to this subject, by perusing the elaborate dissertation of Grellmann, which appeared at Gottingen in the year 1783. When he found himself surrounded by these people in Hungary, he was naturally led to inquire into their habits and condition. After his return, he was proceeding to investigate their fate in this country, when the appearance of the work of Hoyland, by shewing that the enquiry had already fallen into more efficient hands, put a stop to his pursuits, and, since that time, several periodical publications have furnished more of those scattered notices, from which we may hope, at some time, to collect satisfactorily the history of this extraordinary race. The author, from the observations of his friend in Spain, and from his own observations in Hungary, offers his contribution to the common stock.” Bright was a physician of considerable note, making, through his study of morbid anatomy, one of the most important medical discoveries of the early nineteenth century, the disease which bears his name: “Brights Disease” or Morbus Brightii, a kidney disease manifested by the watery swellings known as dropsy. #16264 A$3500.00

Clarke began his travels in 1799 when employed as a companion to his pupil John Marten Cripps and was accompanied by Malthus and William Otter. Covering northern Europe including Norway, Sweden and Russia, as well as the Middle East, Greece, Turkey, Germany and France, the “Travels” won Clarke immediate acclaim on publication.

Dublin; Printed for H. Chamberlaine [etc.]; 1784. ***Beddie 1546; Forbes 72. Although the title refers to maps and charts and there is at the end of the preliminaries to the first volume a two-page list of 26 charts and views with directions for their placement throughout the three volumes, the text volumes contain only the frontispiece to Vol. I and this is not listed. The charts and views were never present in these text volumes and this is clearly one of the forms in which the book was issued -- we have handled a similar set (without Atlas) before. Beddie notes that the Baillieu Library copy is similar, having only the portrait frontispiece. This set carries the bookplate of John B. Gilmore on the front pastedown of all three text volumes and his contemporary inscription dated Boghead Janry. 1st 1789. The Atlas in similar, but not quite matching, contemporary quarter calf, with marbled sides, carries the bookplate of David Rochfort and a contemporary manuscript list of the charts and views contained therein. The individual charts carry corresponding manuscript numbers (1-25). The printed numbers (roman numerals) on the charts and the directions for placing them (in the text volumes) generally correspond with the list printed in text Volume I, but there are several discrepancies and internal inconsistencies (to the Atlas). Plate XVI, Views on the West coast of North America, to the Westward of Cook’s River, is lacking; Plate II is numbered IV (as is also Plate IV); Plate XIX is numbered XVI and there is no plate numbered XIX. While clearly contemporary and intended to accompany the text volumes, the Atlas was almost certainly matched to this set at a later date and there is no indication the missing chart was ever present. #20444 A$5500.00

London; Printed by H. Hughs; 1785. ***Without the folio Atlas. See Holmes 47; Beddie 1553; Hill I, Pp. 61-62; Hill 2, 361 (First Edition); Forbes 86. The “Defence of the Arguments ... “ which is by William Wales, appears for the first time in this Third Edition which is in other respects similar to the first and second editions of the previous year, both sold out within days of publication. Forbes, whose collations are meticulous, makes no mention of the table of bank capital (“Corrected to the 5th of January, 1786”) opposite page 286, and there seems no obvious reason for its inclusion, except for references to South Sea stock. The table is headed “(To face Page 286.)”, but it seems likely that this is an accidental inclusion from another contemporary publication: it has clearly been present in this copy since its original collation. #64850 A$9500.00 24 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 125 Cook, James: HISTORICAL RECORDS OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

The Author traversed, South Africa proper, Nyasaland, and the Tanganyika and Equatorial zones, the whole representing “the longest journey that has yet been achieved at one 30 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books stretch from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean”. The Author was, however, suitably modest as to his achievements: “Before proceeding with the description of my journey, I want it understood that I do not wish to pose as an “explorer.” Although I have often been described as such I really have no claim to the title. To Livingstone, Stanley, Burton, Speke, Grant, and a few other great pioneers we are indebted for our present knowledge of Africa. Before their work the great Continent was an unopened book, and they have left nothing to be discovered. To place myself in their category would be as preposterous as it would be impertinent.” - from the Preface. A Frenchman by birth, domiciled in England, Decle was entrusted by the French Government to carry out a scientific expedition, and was instructed “to proceed to South and East Africa to study their ethnology and anthropology”. The results of his researches are contained in this volume which includes inter alia, remarks on the Kalahari Desert, the Matabele, Mashonaland, the Zambesi, Nyasaland, Uganda, Zanzibar, etc., the political situation in Africa, and relations between the native populations and the European powers. #29112 A$750.00

Paris, Arthus Bertrand, Libraire- Editeur, rue Hautefeuille, No. 23. 1826. Super royal folio; engraved title and 60 engraved plates, 59 of these in the most superb hand-colouring, some also partly printed in colours; (a short repaired tear to margin only of first plate, not affecting image; a couple of plates with light diffuse spotting; extreme margins of a few others lightly dust-soiled or mildly frayed); bound in quarter morocco, with papered sides, the original printed wrapper mounted on front board, together with an original livraison label; a fine, generally clean copy; rare. Paris; Arthus Bertrand; 1826. ***Ferguson 1069; Hill 2, No. 517; Hocken, page 42; Sabin 21353; Borba de Moraes, page 275. The work is one of the rarer French voyages and the plates include 9 of New Zealand and its inhabitants, 19 of New Guinea and the neighbouring islands, 10 of the Caroline Islands, and 14 superb plates of Tahiti and the Society Islands. Of the plates 39 were drawn by Lejeune & Chazal, 15 by Chazal alone, 2 by de Blosseville & Chazal, 3 by Duperrey & Chazal and 1 by Duperrey. The very fine engraving was done entirely by Ambroise Tardieu, both the engraving and the colouring is of the highest standard and these plates are amongst the finest ever produced, in any country and at any time. The title-page also is a work of art, designed by C. F. Ermeler and engraved by Abel Malo. Duperrey was captain of the “Uranie” on de Freycinet’s voyage, and in charge of hydrographic research on that expedition. He was appointed to command of the new expedition in 1822 and allocated the corvette “La Coquille”, with Dumont d’Urville as second-in-command. The purpose of this new voyage was to be scientific and on the 11th August the ship left Toulon with a young crew, only Duperrey himself, Dumont d’Urville and another officer being over 30. The expedition called first at Brazil and went then to the Falklands, where they saw the rock which had proved the undoing of the “Uranie”. After a short stay to repair the ship and make botanical and other observations, the “Coquille” rounded Cape Horn and called at Concepcion in Chile where the poverty of the inhabitants appalled Duperrey. The expedition then continued to Peru and into the Pacific to the Tuamotus where a new island was discovered and named Clermont-Tonnerre, but is now known as Reao. At Tahiti they found that European influences had had a profound effect on the natives, although some of the missionary puritanism was apparently only skin deep. After passing Niue the ship was affected by adverse weather and only after much backtracking did the expedition reach the Solomons from where they headed for Amboina Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 33 in the Dutch East Indies, and thence to Timor. They next visited Port Jackson and then New Zealand where the Maoris were reported to be accomplished thieves and anxious to procure firearms with which to murder their compatriots. At Rotuma, however they found the natives more congenial if no less thievishly inclined. They made some new discoveries in the Gilbert Islands and more in the Carolines but the names assigned have not been retained. After sailing along the New Guinea coast and through the Indonesian islands to Surabaya which they left after two weeks the expedition returned via Mauritius, Bourbon and St. Helena where a romantic pilgrimage was made to Napoleon’s residence, which was however in a bad state of repair. This fact however is not particularly evident in the fine plate of this building in this Atlas Histoire. Although the new geographical discoveries were not great, the hydrographic work was of a very high standard and corrected many errors on the earlier charts. The scientific achievements were no less important: meteorological observations of sea and air temperatures and atmospheric pressure were taken six times daily over the entire period of 31 months and important measurements of magnetic variation were made. As with the other French voyages a massive collection of specimens was brought back to France, including 300 geological samples, 1200 insects of which 450 were not previously available, as well as over 300 birds, mammals and reptiles, and nearly 300 fishes, 80 being new to science. The anthropological observations were also very extensive and the drawings of artefacts, weapons and clothing were particularly comprehensive, many of these being illustrated in the atlases, some of which are shown in this Atlas Histoire. #23368 A$26,000.00

Another edition bearing the imprint “Printed for T. Chapman ... by T. Gillet” and with a completely different set of subscriber’s names, was issued almost simultaneously (see Ferguson 302). The purpose of employing two printers appears to have been to ensure the speedy production of sufficient copies to meet the demand. This important work is the account of the first English missionary enterprise in the South Seas. The hostility of the natives at Tahiti and Tonga caused many of the missionaries to seek refuge at Sydney. Some of them settled in Australia “and founded families important in Australian history”. William Wilson was Chief Mate on the voyage. Apart from its missionary interest the work contains much valuable information on Tahiti, Fiji and the Marquesas. The Duff Group in the Santa Cruz islands was newly discovered on this voyage. #2293 A$3500.00

Robinson, Paternoster-Row; J. Edwards, Pall-Mall; and T. Payne, Mews-Gate, Castle-Street. 1799. 2 vols., med. 4to (text), & 1 vol., demy folio (atlas of charts & plates); First 4to Edition (& Best Edition) in English; Vol. I, pp. [iii-viii](bound without half-title), lvi(Introduction by the Editor & Contents), 540(last blank); portrait of La Perouse as frontis.; Vol. II, pp. [iii]-viii(bound without half-title), 532(last blank - see footnote re collation); [14](index), [2](Errata to both vols., verso blank); Atlas, engraved decorated title: “CHARTS AND PLATES TO LA PEROUSE’S VOYAGE. Published as the Act directs Novr. First. 1798, by G. G. & J. Robinson, Pater-noster Row.”, 69 charts & plates, numbered 1 to 69, and comprising 1 large folding World Chart (see note below), 20 double-page & 10 full-page charts, & 38 plates depicting views of places visited, native populations, natural history, coastline views, etc.; (seven of the plates - of which 6 depict native watercraft - carry two illustrations each); both text volumes and Atlas rebound in matching half calf and marbled sides in 50 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books contemporary style, with contrasting title- and volume-labels; original marbled edges preserved; (calf a little unevenly faded; some occasional mild foxing to text volumes; a few small marginal tears neatly repaired in Atlas and a small tear similarly repaired to title-page of Volume II; 4 or 5 unobtrusive blind-stamps of Haverhill Public Library, but no other markings); a very good, generally clean and crisp set; very scarce. London; G. G. and J. Robinson [etc.]; 1798-99. ***Hill (2nd Edn.), 975; Ferguson 288 (collation most inadequate). In Volume II there is a hiatus in the pagination - Pp. 241-248 are omitted from the pagination, but the text is complete, as examination readily shows, Pp. 238-40 & P. 249 covering period May 8-20, May 21-June 5 without any gap. There are also in Volume II additional gatherings, marked with asterisk, as follows:- (a) Following Page 304 (end of 2Q) additional gathering signed *2Q, paginated *297-*304. (b) Following Page 312 (end of 2R) additional gathering signed *2R, paginated *305-*312. (c) Following Page 320 (end of 2S): additional gathering signed *2S, paginated *313-*320. These irregularities of pagination are typical of all copies we have seen. This copy lacks the List of the Charts and Plates to the Atlas, as is usually the case as it is particularly rare (of the references consulted only the NMM Catalogue (Vol III, No. 242) mentions this leaf and the facsimile by Nico Israel does not contain it). The large folding chart (No. 1) is not bound in to the Atlas - it is often also lacking - but it IS present, being loosely inserted at the front of the Atlas. It was not an uncommon practice for publishers of works containing large maps (relatively expensive to produce) to print only sufficient copies for immediate needs, printing further copies only as required. Should the demand then disappear, the books would be put on the market lacking the large charts. The prevalence of copies of this Atlas without the list of charts (in which is listed the large chart) suggests that this occurred with this work. Laperouse’s voyage with the frigates Astrolabe and Boussole made valuable contributions to the discovery and exploration of the Pacific and the North West coast of America and the expedition visited numerous islands in the Pacific including Samoa, Tonga and Australia. The scientific contributions in the fields of natural history and anthropology were also of great importance, and the expedition was noteworthy for the scientific experiments undertaken on board, in particular concerning the preservation and sterilisation of drinking water which to some degree anticipated the researches of Pasteur. Despatches were made to France from Kamchatka, whence de Lesseps returned overland, and also from Botany Bay where the expedition arrived within days of the First Fleet. After leaving Botany Bay however both ships disappeared without trace and were not found until 1827 when Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks on the reefs of Vanikoro. #22535 A$16,500.00

C. Chisteman at head of titles to Vols. II & III, but clipped from Vol. I, with head of title-page & following couple of leaves to Vol. II a little stained from an early attempt at removal of the signature; a very good, sound and handsome set. London; J. Johnson; 1799. ***Ferguson 289; Hill 2, 974; Sabin 38963. One of four translations (one being an abridgement in one volume, 8vo only) published in London in 1798, here reprinted in 1799. Ferguson calls for an atlas of 44 plates, but it is doubtful that this was issued with this edition-- his entry for the first edition (1798) of this version (F. 270) makes no mention of an atlas -- probably it was only a binding variation with the plates in a separate atlas rather than bound up in the text volumes as directed by the publisher (one of the charts in Vol. III is in two sheets, which would account for the discrepancy in numbers). The voyage aroused intense interest but the ships were not heard of after leaving Botany Bay in 1788 and their fate was not positively determined until Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks at Vanikoro over 30 years later. #12603 A$5500.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 51 282 Laseron, Charles Francis.

The Author was a participant in James Clark Ross’s voyage to the Antarctic and the greater part of Volume I contains his narrative of that expedition, including remarks on Tasmania. At the end of this volume are the Author’s plans for reaching both North and South Poles. Volume II contains the account of a voyage in search of Franklin, the Author’s suggestions for the preservation of health in polar conditions, and an autobiography. No expense was spared in the production and the panoramas of the Antarctic in Volume I are particularly fine. We have learned that a letter of McCormick’s indicates that he financed the publication himself and that only 750 copies were produced (ref. Bob Finch, personal communication; see also references to this in Rosove). This, together with the fact that early sales were rather slow with the result that many copies were unsold and possibly subsequently destroyed, may account for the very considerable rarity of this important first-hand account. Some later issues contain 16 pages of Publisher’s Memorandum and Opinions of the Press inserted at the end of one or the other volumes. #34875 A$7500.00

On Discovery to the Southern Hemisphere, by which the Non-Existence of an undiscovered Continent, between the Equator and the 50th Degree of Southern Latitude, is demonstratively proved. Also a Journal of the Adventure’s Voyage, in the Years 1772, 1773, and 1774. With an Account of the Separation of the two Ships, and the most remarkable Incidents that befel each. Interspersed with Historical and Geographical Descriptions of the Islands and Countries discovered in the Course of their respective Voyages. Illustrated with a Chart, in which the Tracks of both Vessels are accurately laid down, and other Cuts. [Edited by D. Henry]. London: Printed for F. Newbery, at the Corner of St. Paul’s Church-Yard. 1775. Facsimile Edition; pp. [ii], xiv, 328, [2](blank); long folding chart, 5 plates; original imitation vellum; a fine copy; scarce. Amsterdam; N. Israel; 1967. ***Bibliotheca Australiana No. 15. This was the first published book to contain an account of the Antarctic regions based on actual knowledge. The track chart shows the three points of penetration of the Antarctic circle by the Resolution (the first accompanied by the Adventure - shortly afterwards the ships experienced great difficulty in keeping company due to the icy conditions, and were soon separated by a severe storm) and includes on the third occasion the notation “land seen” although the narrative makes it clear that this was by no means certain. Correspondence between Cook and the Admiralty indicates that the author was the Irishman, John Marra, whom Cook had picked up at Batavia on the Endeavour voyage, and who was gunner’s mate on the Resolution. The work was edited by David Henry, editor and a voluminous contributor to the “Gentleman’s Magazine” for many years, and author/editor of “An Historical Account of all the Voyages round the World”, published in 4 volumes in 1773-4, to which in 1775 was added a fifth volume containing the Resolution voyage (i.e. the present account), and in 1786 a sixth, with an account of Cook’s third Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 57 voyage (Rickman’s account). Hocken notes that “The preface discloses considerable knowledge of private matters connected with the voyage, and gives an account of the causes which led Mr. Banks and his staff to withdraw in high dudgeon from the expedition at the last moment.” The publication of Marra’s work preceded Cook’s Official Account by at least 18 months. #8236 A$500.00

Michelena y Rojas was a native of Venezuela and his narrative was printed in Spain for publication in Venezuela by subscription. Ferguson notes erroneously that this work contains accounts of all seven voyages made by the author, but in fact the entire work (apart from a brief note in the Preface) concerns his sixth and most important voyage, one of the rarest and least-known voyages to the Pacific. Departing from Mazatlan, Mexico, Michelena y Rojas crossed the Pacific in the years 1840-41, spending some 33 days exploring the Hawaiian Islands (to which he devotes 4 chapters, including portraits of Kamehameha III and Governor John Adams). From there he sailed to Tahiti, Rotuma and via Norfolk Island to Australia (with a fine plan of Sydney in 1840, a plate of part of the Botanic Gardens and another Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 59 of the aboriginal inhabitants). He continued to Vanikoro (with an account of Dillon’s discovery of the fate of La Perouse), Guam in the Marianas, the Caroline Islands, Philippines, Macao, and Singapore. His route is traced on the folding map and the author includes an account of the Papuans. Some doubt has been cast by Saul H. Riesenberg on the authenticity of the narrative but it seems clear that it is an amalgam of personal observation and information from other contemporary sources. Michelena also published (1837) the official account of the Venezuelan exploring expedition up the Orinoco and down the Amazon Rivers, and later wrote a history of South American exploration published in 1867. #34806 A$13,500.00

The main text consists of a poem in several parts relating events on the United States Exploring Expedition, including “The Antarctic Mariner’s Song”, which was set to music and arranged for the guitar by James D. Dana, Geologist to the Exploring Expedition. This music appears on pp. 42- 46. The dedication reads: “To Lieut. William M. Walker, U. S. N. This Poem, founded on the Adventures of the U. S. Schooner Flying-Fish, under his Command, in the highest Southern Latitude attained by any Vessel of the Exploring Expedition, is Respectfully Inscribed.” and the Preface reads: “The following Poem is a true story of the incidents more minutely described in the Appendix, to which the reader is referred for a narrative prepared from the journals of the ‘Flying-Fish.’ It unfortunately happened that all these journals, which had been collected on board the U. S. Ship Peacock, were lost with that vessel, at the mouth of the Columbia; so that the account which I wrote only for the gratification of a few friends, has become the sole remaining history of a highly interesting adventure. J. C. P. Baltimore, September 1st, 1842.” The Appendix referred to comprises a narrative: “Antarctic Adventures of the United States’ Schooner Flying-Fish, in 1839,” which occupies pp. 65-72. This is a very important primary account of the Antarctic which, as far as we know and apart from the even rarer edition of 1868, has never been reprinted, and it is one of the earliest accounts to be published of the U.S. Exploring Expedition under Charles Wilkes. The “Flying-Fish” was the smallest of the six vessels comprising this expedition. #9005 A$3500.00

The Briton visited several places on the South American coast, but was ordered from Brazil to find the American frigate, U.S.S. Essex, Captain David Porter, which was threatening British whalers in the Pacific. Details of the activities of U.S.S. Essex in the Marquesas are related.

The eight-page appendix is important in its own right, comprising the report of a sealing expedition in the Brig Governor Macquarrie made in 1819: “Report of a Voyage from Sydney to Kangaroo Island and of Observations made during a stay of seven months on, and near the island, by Captain Sutherland, who in the year 1819 was employed by some merchants of Sydney to 76 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books command a vessel of 140 tons, expressly fitted out for the purpose of obtaining a cargo of salt and seal skins from Kangaroo Island.

With the signature of A. C. Arnold, Jan. 6th, 1806 on the title-page. Tuckey was First Lieutenant of the Calcutta, commanded by Captain Daniel Woodriff. This account describes the expedition, led by David Collins, which was to found a settlement at Port Phillip, but the attempt at settlement was soon abandoned in favour of the Derwent River in Tasmania. Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 81 Tuckey, however, surveyed and charted the bay and its environs before the expedition left, and his account is the only contemporary published account of the abortive settlement. The Calcutta was accompanied on the voyage from England by the Ocean, a merchant vessel chartered to carry stores for the colonisation scheme. En route to Port Phillip the Calcutta visited Teneriffe and the Cape Verde Islands, Rio de Janeiro (of which a long account is given, including the slavery), Tristan d’Acunha, Cape Town and Simon’s Town, and the Island of St. Paul. Appendices include a List of Plants found at Port Philip (sic), Meteorological Journal for October-December at Port Philip, observations on the Timbers of New South Wales, and observations respecting selection of Convicts for transportation, and on the means of preserving health on the voyage. Tuckey later published an account of the first scientific expedition to the Congo or Zaire River. #5023 A$11,000.00

Compiled From Papers and other Materials of the Right Honourable George Lord Anson, and published under his Direction, by Richard Walter, M.A. Chaplain of his Majesty’s Ship the Centurion, in that Expedition. Illustrated with Forty-Two Copper-Plates. London: Printed for the Author; By John and Paul Knapton, in Ludgate-Street. MDCCXLVIII. Thick Royal 4to, First Large Paper Issue of First Edition; pp. [vi], [xii](list of Subscribers), [xvi](Contents & Introduction), 418(last blank), [2](Directions to the Binder); 12 folding charts, 2 folding plans, 28 folding plates; original roan-backed marbled boards; (joints cracked, but cords firm; boards very slightly rubbed; spine ends worn with small portion missing from foot); ENTIRELY UNCUT, AS ISSUED; a very fine, clean and crisp copy; EXTREMELY RARE in such condition. Printed for the Author; by John & Paul Knapton; 1748. ***Tew 1, noting this Royal Paper issue as being very rarely found. As for the standard issue on demy paper the earliest issues of the First Edition were published without the world chart which was not done until later issues. Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 83 While Lord Anson’s own copy (and some others) do have the world chart, most copies of the First Edition (on both sizes of paper) are without it and it is not included in the list of charts and plates. This copy is entirely undisturbed in its original binding and clearly never had the world chart. Page 319 is misnumbered 219 as in the standard issue. There is a contemporary Ms. correction on page 14, and contemporary inked initials on the title page - E. H. - suggesting that this copy belonged either to Sir Edward Hawke (Vice-Admiral of the Blue) or to Edward Hooper, as these are the only two subscribers with these initials. There are 373 subscribers to this, the Royal Paper edition and very, very few copies will have survived in their original publisher’s binding as here. This Royal Paper issue is truly a magnificent production with generous margins and thicker, superior paper. While not a particularly uncommon title, copies of the Royal Paper issue, entirely undisturbed, are of extreme rarity. This, the official account of the famous voyage, was immediately immensely popular, and ran to many editions. The list of subscribers to the First Edition occupies 12 pages, closely set in three columns to the page. Many of the illustrations are from drawings by Lieutenant PIERCY BRETT, who was placed in command of the captured Manila galleon, and who also contributed to the relation of the voyage. The expedition was considered a successful venture owing to the capture of the richly laden Manila galleon, but over 1000 lives were lost and out of seven vessels only the flagship Centurion returned. The contribution to geographical knowledge was negligible. Renard 1669. #41035 A$27,500.00

Upsala; J. Edmans; 1793. ***Ferguson 172; Du Rietz 915. This rare Swedish account was compiled by Samuel Odmann from Johann Reinhold Forster’s German version of the First Fleet story derived from the published English accounts of White and Phillip (the official account). The final part of the volume (page 115 to the end) is an account of Captain Cook’s voyage up the east coast of New Holland, probably derived from Hawkesworth. Odmann was quite a prolific compiler of material related to Australia and the Pacific producing several works in the late eighteenth century. The plates were probably the first images of Australia published in Sweden (see Rolf Du Rietz’s Swansea, Series A, Part I, pp. 21-23, for detailed discussion). #48729 A$650.00 84 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books 490 White, John: VOYAGE A LA NOUVELLE GALLES DU SUD, a Botany-Bay, au Port Jackson, en 1787, 1788, 1789; par John White, Chirurgien en chef de l’etablissement des Anglais, dans cette partie du globe; Ouvrage ou l’on trouve de nouveaux details sur le caractere et les usages des habitans du cap de Bonne- Esperance, de l’ile Teneriffe, de Rio-Janeiro et de la Nouvelle-Hollande, ainsi qu’une description exacte de plusieurs animaux inconnus jusqu’a present.

Paris; Pougin; 1795. ***Ferguson 231. Without the two plates called for by FERGUSON. We are disposed, however, to challenge his collation. During the past sixty years we have examined many copies of this edition, and not one has contained any plates. The British Museum copy, also, is without them. On the other hand, the “edition” of 1798 (F. 283), which is actually a re-issue of the sheets of the 1795 edition but with a new half-title and title-page, has two plates, which are specified in the title. However, FERGUSON in his description of this issue does not mention the two plates in his collation. We conclude, therefore, that he has confused the two issues, and that his collations require revision. The importance of this translation of WHITE’s Journal has consistently been overlooked. The latter part of the Volume (i.e., the 256 pages comprising the “Notes du Traducteur”), which exceeds in volume the work of WHITE itself, consists of detailed analysis, comment, criticism and elaboration of WHITE’s Journal, relating WHITE’s statements to those in the works of PHILLIP and TENCH, and comparing the country generally, the native people and their ways, the flora and fauna, with those of other lands, as recorded by earlier voyagers and observers, both English and French. POUGENS’ Notes with this translation, therefore, entitle it to be considered a separate work in its own right. #21522 A$1950.00

502 Zimmermann, Heinrich. DERNIER VOYAGE DU CAPITAINE COOK AUTOUR DU MONDE, ou se trouvent les circonstances de sa mort, Publie en Allemand par Henri Zimmermann temoin oculaire, & traduit avec un abrege de la vie de ce navigateur celebre, & des notes. Berne, Chez la nouvelle Societe typographique. 1783. Second Edition in French; pp. xvi, 200; in most attractive full contemporary vellum, gilt (a trifling stain at foot of spine only), marbled edges; a fine copy; very rare. Berne; la nouvelle Societe typographique; 1783. ***Beddie 1630; Holmes 44 (q.v.); Forbes 59; Du Rietz 1364. All early editions of this important account of Cook’s Third Voyage, published four years before the official account are very rare, the first [German] edition extremely so. It was not translated into English until 1926. This second French edition is reset from the first of the previous year but is identical apart from the ornamentation on the title-page and the date at its foot. Both French editions are of great rarity and are of particular interest as they contain additional matter not found in the original German editions or in the (late) English translations. This additional matter comprises some brief introductory notes by one Roland (almost certainly the translator), the “Abregee” Life of Cook (pp. 118-172), and quite extensive notes (pp. 173-200 - some forty numbered items). Holmes and Du Rietz note that the “Life” appears to be a somewhat abridged translation of Lichtenberg and Georg Forster’s early life of Cook, published in Gottingen in 1780. Zimmermann was coxswain in the “Discovery” and as a foreign national (he was a native of Speyer) was able to withhold his journal despite the instructions to surrender all logs and journals which were given to all serving officers and men. As a low-ranking member of the expedition his account gives an interesting and different perspective from the other accounts of Cook’s third voyage. Holmes notes that “his appreciation of Cook’s character deserves to rank with that of Samwell.” #8241 A$25,000.00
