rigide. Publié par Richard Walter, Maître ès Arts & Chapelain du Centurion dans cette Expédition, Orné de Cartes & de Figures en taille douce, traduit de l'Anglois, 1 vol. in-4 (24,9 x 19,6 cm à la reliure) reliure plein veau fauve, dos à 6 nerfs, toutes tranches dorées, chiffre couronnée aux initiales M.A. sous couronne impériale en plats, double filet doré en plats et fers en coins, Chez Henri-Albert Gosse & Comp., Genève, 1750, XXIV-363 pp. avec 34 planches hors texte Agréable exemplaire de cette belle édition au monogramme MA surmonté de la couronne impériale, très vraisemblablement le chiffre de l'impératrice Maria Féodorovna, née Sophie-Dorothée de Wurtemberg-Montbéliard (1759-1828), épouse du Tsar Paul Ier. Versée dans les sciences, elle parlait couramment l'allemand, le français, l'italien et le latin. Il s'agit de la seconde traduction française, par Elie Joncourt, en grand format et richement illustrée de 34 planches (souvent dépliantes) du récit de la circumnavigation de l'officier anglais George Anson. A la tête d'une flotte de 7 navires et près de 2000 hommes, il quitte Plymouth le 18 septembre 1740, rejoint les côtes du Chili, puis du Pérou en novembre 1742, et atteint Macao un an plus tard. Sa prise, au large du Cao Espiritu Santo, d'un "galion de Manille" (navire espagnol faisant la route entre Manille et Acapulco) rempli de plus d'un million de "pièces de huit" en argent, fera de lui un homme riche. Les cartes récupérées sur le navire enrichiront grandement la connaissance anglaise de la cartographie du Pacifique. Bel exemplaire de superbe provenance (pièce de titres postérieures, petite piq. à un mors et très lég. frott., très bon état par ailleurs). Pleasant copy of this beautiful edition with the MA monogram surmounted by the imperial crown, very probably the cipher of Empress Maria Féodorovna, née Sophie-Dorothée of Wurtemberg-Montbéliard (1759-1828), wife of Tsar Paul I. Well versed in science, she was fluent in German, French, Italian and Latin. Beautiful copy of superb provenance (later title pieces, very small hole on front joint and very light rubbing, otherwise very good condition) Langue: Français.

Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. first volume only. original boards, however the spine has been crudely replaced. this is the later edition that was printed in a smaller format. the book states that the illustrations that accompanied the first edition have been left out due to the size. the only exception to this is the fold-out map of the track of the centurion around the world. this is present. the edges are torn. this small volume although complete will need restoration. the map on it's own would be well worth the effort.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, [34], 417, [3]p., 42 engraved folding maps and plates, list of subscribers, final leaf of directions to the binder, occasional light foxing and offsetting, pp. 319 misnumbered as 219, contemporary catspaw calf, boards twice ruled in gilt, handsomely rebacked, spine gilt, red morocco label, 4to, London, for the Author by John and Paul Knapton, 1748 A MASTERPIECE OF DESCRIPTIVE TRAVEL - Hill First edition of the most popular book of maritime adventure in the eighteenth century. This can be identified as the first of two issues by a misprinted page number (219 instead of 319) and the fact that the engraved plates are all in an early state before the addition of their identifying numbers. The narrative was based on Anson s own journal, along with notes by Richard Watler who was chaplain on the ship Centurion. George Anson entered the Navy during the War of Spanish Succession and spent the next decade rising through the ranks until 1722 when he was promoted to Commander and given command of the small 8-gun HMS Weazel. Anson's orders were to suppress smuggling between Britain and Holland, a task he swiftly and effectively performed. In recognition of his efforts he was promoted to the rank of post-captain in February 1723 and given command of the 32-gun HMS Scarborough with orders to escort British merchant convoys from the Carolinas. Between 1728-36 he transferred three times in succession before being promoted to Commodore in 1737. With the 60-gun HMS Centurion, he took command of a squadron sent to attack Spanish possessions in South America at the outset of the War of Jenkins' Ear. The work details Anson's circumnavigation which occurred during the War of Jenkins' Ear between Britain and Spain. The purpose of the expedition was for Anson's fleet to intercept Spanish ships and seize their cargo from the New World. After setting off later than planned, Anson's squadron encountered successive disasters. Two of his ships failed to round Cape Horn and another was wrecked off the coast of Chile. Anson lost half of his ships and two thirds of his men before reaching the South Pacific Islands. However, he was able to harass and sack the Spanish port of Paita in Peru. The crews were decreased due to scurvy so Anson consolidated the remaining crew in the Centurian. Despite his losses Anson was determined to seize the treasure galleon that made the annual voyage from Acapulco to Manila. Laden with Peruvian silver, she was the "Prize of all the Oceans". In June 1743 Anson intercepted the Nuestra Señora de Covadonga, and in a 90-minute action forced her surrender. After refitting at Canton he returned home the next year to find himself compared with Drake, and his exploits with the long-remembered feats of arms against the Spain of Philip II. The casualties were forgotten as the public celebrated a rare triumph in a drab and interminable war. The prize money earned from the capture of the galleon made Anson a rich man for life and brought him considerable political influence. In 1748 the authorised account was published under Richard Walter, and has formed the basis of all accounts of Anson s Voyage since. The work was a great success; the epitome of adventure for the eighteenth-century reader. It was translated into several European languages and stayed in print through numerous editions for many years. [ESTC: T89475, Hill pp. 317-8; Sabin 1625].

tiré des journaux & autres papiers de ce seigneur, & publié par Richard Walter . ; orné de cartes & de figures en taille douce ; traduit de l?anglois. A Geneve : Chez Barrillot et fils, 1750. Second French translation. Quarto, full vellum, spine lettered in black with sepia wash, all edges stained red, title page in red and black with vignette engraving, pp xxiv (preface and table of contents); 363, [1] (directions to the binder), 34 folding engraved plates, many of them maps (a couple with old tape repairs), a very good, crisp copy in a continental vellum binding. Translation by Élie de Joncourt of Anson and Walter?s A voyage around the world (1748). Anson?s circumnavigation was significant in that it provided much valuable navigational information crucial to the success of Cook?s voyages in the South Seas. After a series of disasters, Anson?s initial squadron of six warships and two supply ships was reduced to just three by the time he entered the Pacific from Cape Horn. After sacking the Spanish port of Paita in Peru, he sailed across the Pacific to Macau with all remaining crew on his own ship, the Centurion. He then successfully followed the orders given to him by the Admiralty to seek out Spanish galleons laden with gold en route from Mexico to the Philippines, when he captured Nuestra Senora de Covadonga, carrying 1.3 million pieces of eight. Anson sold the gold in Macau and returned to England, arriving there in mid 1744. One of the important legacies of Anson and Walter?s narrative was the description of the breadfruit tree, the benefits of which Anson?s crew enjoyed whilst sojourning in the Ladrone Islands (Marianas). Along with Dampier?s earlier account of this fruit, Anson?s information was the main stimulus behind the Admiralty?s brief for Bligh?s expedition in the Bounty in 1787, the purpose of which was to transport breadfruit to the West Indies for propagation.

[1], [1 blank], [32], [1 blank], 417, [1 blank], [2] pp.First edition of this important and popular account of the unfortunate and famous expedition of George Anson, being considered as "the one most sought after" (Borba de Moraes). It is an account of Anson s expedition to the western coast of South America, to harass the Spanish trading territories and cutting off the Spanish supplies of wealth in this way after the outbreak of the War of Jenkins s Ear between Britain and Spain in 1739. Anson was the commander of 7 ships in 1740, including the Centurion, but soon his expedition threatened to turn into a fiasco. His squadron was battered by storms and bad weather causing damage and shipwrecks and many of his crew died from scurvy, typhus and dysentery. The remaining crew was transferred to the Centurion, the last remaining vessel, and Anson limped across the Pacific to Macao. In June 1743 he sailed to the Philippines were he achieved a substantial victory near Manila by capturing the Nuestra Senora de Covadonga, a Spanish galleon filled with gold. After sailing around the world, Anson returned to England in June 1744 and in spite of his enormous losses, he returned with large profits.Anson s voyage, being one of the greatest voyages in the history of exploration and naval warfare, laid the foundation for British voyages and exploration of the Pacific and more specific for English trade in this area. The present account, being based upon Anson s own ship journal, describing this troubled expedition, soon became highly popular in the 18th century and is even considered as "the masterpiece of descriptive travel" and "the most popular book of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century" (Hill). With occasionally a correction of the text in brown ink and the name of Mr. Sweeting (?) added to the list of subscribers. Binding slightly worn around the edges and with a few minor scratches on the boards, some marginal foxing and staining to both the text leaves and plates (especially in the first part, barely affecting the plates except the map of the Pacific Ocean which is a little more stained), folding lines of some plates (especially all three large folding maps) reinforced but sometimes still with some very small tears on the folding lines, some corners of the folding plates slightly frayed, but overall a copy of the first edition of this important 18th-century travelogue with all the plates which is still in good condition.l Alden/Landis 748/225; Borba de Moraes I, p. 38; Cox I, p. 49; ESTC T89475; Hill 1817; Howgego A-100; Kroepelien 1086; Sabin 101175 (cf. 1625).
