This vigorous exchange of views developed into a bitter controversy and played an important part in fuelling the extensive public debate that was taking place on the subject of the East India Company's operations in India. The French translation was made by Jean Nicolas Demeunier. - Pasted in is a letter in French, dated 1776, dealing with the ceding of Benares by the Rajah to the English East India Company. - Cox I, p.299; Chadenat 2791.

First edition. - James Bruce, Laird of Kinnaird (1730-1794), the first European to undertake an expedition aimed specifically at finding the Nile's source, failed in his attempt, but his exploration paved the way for many more travelers who came after him. In mid-1768 Bruce ascended the Nile from Alexandria and journeyed into the Ethiopian interior. In 1770 he believed to have found the source of the Nile near Gondar, the ancient capital of Abyssinia. Still he was mistaken, as he had not reached the source of the Nile, but only that of its considerable tributary. He descended the Blue Nile to its confluence with the White Nile at the site of present- day Khartoum. He was one of the earliest explorers to report this connection between the White and Blue Nile. The results of Bruce's travels was a very great enrichment of the knowledge of geography and ethnography especially of Ethiopia. His very readable account is still fascinating today. The plates based on Bruce's own and Balugani's drawings include botanical and zoological specimens, antiquities and artefacts. - 'One of the most splendid narratives in the litterature of African exploration' (Hallet, Africa to 1875, p.110). - Some foxing and offsetting from plates, otherwise a fine copy of a milestone in the history of travel literatur.

Its title was Storia do Mogor and it was written partly in Italian, partly in French, and partly in Portuguese. Historians have long bewailed its disappearance, for hitherto they have been unable to check the statesments of Catrou. Manucci practically spent his life in India and witnessed so many things and records them so fully and delightfully that he is almost second to none as an historian of Aurangzib's reign' (Cox I, p.285).

As the first European, he traveled on the Zambezi to Kazembe in a pirogue, a fast water vessel made from a tree trunk. In order to escape from the slave traders of Portuguese Africa, Livingstone traveled via Cassange and Bihé to Luanda, a Portuguese port and the capital of Angola, where he arrived completely exhausted on 31 May, 1854. As soon as he had recovered from his fever, he undertook a trek to Lake Dilolo, discovered the source of the Kasai, a left tributary of the Congo, and arrived in Linyanti, the capital of the Makololos. In the course of the major Zambezi expedition that followed he discovered the Victoria Falls, the falls of the middle Zambezi, in 1855 (Waldmann, Ecyclopedia of world explorers, p.226).

The loss of the American ship Janson off the coast of Den Helder, captain Benjamin Mayo, owned by S.G. Arnold & Co, Joseph S. Martin a.o. depicted by the Dutch marine artist Jan Mooij (1776-1847) who lived in Den Helder and was an eye- witness of the shipwreck. ''The ship Janson of Providence, Rhode Island, had arrived at Texel Road off New Dieppe from Batavia with a valuable cargo of coffee and rice. Starting from the right the watercolour shows three stages: 1. anchored amid drift ice that stove in the bow, 2. the ship is sinking and the crew is making efforts to abandon ship, 3. the ship is about to disappear. According to one report, nothing was saved but 'all hands' and the stern boat. The ship's pet monkey is running up the rigging of the main mast as the ship is about to sink completely'.

He was, as he writes, 'induced by curiosity' because 'the accounts hitherto published of this island had been

extremely imperfect; as the watchful jealousy of the Dutch both excluded the researches of strangers, and prevented their own people from publishing any observations.. '. He had a pronounced hatred of the cruelty of Dutch rule. In 1800 he joined General Macdowal's embassy to the court of Candy and gives a valuable report of this happening. In his description of pearl fishery he brings to life the extravaganza, the customs and superstitions of the fisherman and the dangers of the deep. Among the plates i.a. a view on the fort of Batacolo, elephant hunting, and the Cinnamon gardens near Columbo. - A fine copy. Goonetileke 35a (mentions erroneously 4 instead of 3 charts).

First edition; with armorial bookplate of Sir Stephenson Hamilton. - Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826) 'was interested in every aspect of his subject, and devotes whole sections to Javan ethics, literature, poetry, music, and musical instruments, drama, games of skill and methods of hunting, besides the more ordinary matters of interest population, natural history, religion, antiquities, and the military system .. The history of Java stands very high in its own class, and the aquatint plates are full of interest' (Prideaux p.252-253). 'In terms of the pictorial depiction of Javanese costume and topography the importance of the History of Java can hardly be exaggerated .. The marriage of a scientifically original text with beautiful illustrations by an accomplished aquatint engraver resulted in a book about Indonesia of outstanding quality; indeed, a masterpiece' (Bastin-Brommer p.6-7). The ten coloured aquatints, though unsigned are by William Daniell, illustrate Javanese life and costume, and the Papuan boy who accompanied Raffles to England in 1816. The plate of the Borobudur is one of the first depictions of the monument. 'An influential work valued for the author's firsthand observations on the customs and condition of the Javanese under his administration as Governor-General during the British occupation of the Dutch East Indies (1811-1815)' (Von Hünersdorff, Kaffee,p.1213). Raffles' History of Java, the source of many basic Western ideas about the area, remains the starting point for studies of the Eastern archipelago. - A very fine copy.

Second edition, first printed at Rome in 1672. - Vincenzo Maria was a Carmelite missionary whose name was Antonio Murchio. His book 'is far more than an itinerary of the Carmelite mission to India: Book I tells of the journey to Malabar; Book II is about the St. Thomas Christians; Book III is on the political, religious, and social life of Malabar; Book IV, probably prepared with the aid of Father Matthew, describes the plants of Malabar, tells of the return trip to Europe, and includes a description of Goa. While he cites a number of earlier European commentators on India, his description of Malabar, where he lived for almost one year (February, 1657, to January, 1658), is original and perceptive. .. He spent very little time in the port cities and came to know interior places rarely frequented by Europeans' (Lach, Asia in the making III, p.892). 'Perhaps the most important of the 17th century Italian travellers' (Atabey p.689). He journeyed through Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Persia before he finally arrived in India. He had a keen eye and has much of interest to record about manners, customs, costumes, natural history, etc. He returned to his homeland via Muscat which he describes over a chapter. 'The present account is much more detailed than the usual contemporary reports' (Hünersdorff, Coffee, p 1045) .- (Some staining and soiling).
