(1e druk). Leiden, Amsterdam, Johannes Le Mair, Stephanus Jacobus Baalde, Cornelis van Hoogeveen, 1765-1766.2 volumes. 4to. 19th century half cloth, spines gilt. With title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette, 15 folding maps and plans (2 small tears rep.) and 20 folding plates; title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette and 8 engraved plates (4 folding). (32), 384,(1); (36),212,(16) pp. First published in Dutch in 1749. - Official account of Anson's (1697-1762) famous privateering expedition (1740-1744) of seven vessels against Spanish commerce in the Pacific, edited from Anson's papers by Richard Walter, chaplain of the expedition. Although Anson lost most of his crew (an estimated 1000 lost to scurvy, 300 to typhus and dysentery, four in action and the remainder to shipwreck), and all but one of his ships, he did return with a vast bounty. Anson's voyage appears to have been the most popular book of maritime adventure of the 18th century. His exploits brought back new knowledge about the little-known regions around the southern tip of South America. The second volume contains the account of John Byron (1723-1786), midshipsman to the Wager, separated from Anson's fleet in fog off Patagonia, he rounded Cape Horn and ran aground in the Guayaneco Archipelago, to the south of the Golfo de Penas on the southern Chilean coast. The fate of the survivors, who then divided into two return parties, is one of the most gripping yarns of maritime history. - A classic account of circumnavigation. - Two small library stamps on title-page otherwise a good copy.Tiele 42-43; Cat.

DELLON, Gabriel. Historie der inquisitie tot Goa. En in andere gewesten van Indien. Uyt het Frans vertaalt. Amsterdam, Pieter Mortier, 1697.Sm.8vo. Contemporary vellum. With engraved title-vignette, 3 engraved vignettes and 6 engraved plates (3 folding). (12),282,(17) pp. First Dutch edition; first published in French in Leiden in 1687: Relation de l'inquisition de Goa. - In 1668 Dellon sailed to India with the Compagnie des Indes. He travelled extensively along the Malabar coast. In 1673 he left the employment of the company and started a private medical practice in Damao, at that time a Portuguese colony. Six months later, early in 1674, he was arrested by the Inquisition and taken to Goa, where he was imprisoned for two years. He was then shipped to Lisbon, but released in the following year on condition that he should return immediately to France. .. It proved a considerable success, particularly in Protestant Europe, where it ran to numerous editions. Although long regarded purely as a work of propaganda, recent research has testified to its accuracy (Howgego p.304/305). ' Dellon's description of the Inquisition and of the practices of its officials and their collaborators is the only source available on the functioning of that institution by a comtemporary who saw it from the inside' (Lach, Asia in the making of Europe III,2, p.851). It includes also details of his stay in Bahia, Brazil. His account of the Inquisition was still forbidden in Portugal in 1769. It is one of the few contemporary sources available. - A nice copy.Cf.

(14),335,(9) pp. First English edition; first published in French Relation du voyage de la mer du Sud, Paris 1716. The English edition is preferred because it contains a postscript by Edmund Halley correcting certain geographical erros made by Frézier and it also contains an English translation of a critical report on the Jesuit missions in Paraguay. - An interesting account of the voyage from France, Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands, Santa Catarina Islands, off the coast of Brazil, Tierra del Fuego, through the Straits of Le Maire around Cape Horn and continuing along the coast of South America as far as Lima, describing the chief towns and cities. During his return from Lima, Frézier took the trouble to correct the contemporary charts of the southernmost tip of South America, discovering a new channel in Tierra del Fuego and suppressing many of the imaginary lands previously shown on the maps. His survey also included the Falkland Islands which for the first time were identified as being the same as 'Sebald's Islands'. The return voyage called at Bahia, the Azores and Gibraltar' (Howgego p.399). The observant Frézier brought back information of considerable geographical and scientific value. Much data is included about the native inhabitants, and the work also contains an interesting account of guano. Frézier introduced the ancestor of the modern strawberry to France from Chile (Hill p.231). The relation of M. Frezier has always been highly esteemed from his character as an author of great truthfulness, as well as for the numerous exact maps with which it is illustrated (Field). - Age-browned otherwise fine.Borba de Moraes I, p.329; Sabin 25927 'a production of unrivaled interest and beauty'; Hill 654; European-Americana V, p.216.
