Lada-Mocarski 58. Sabin 77152. Street VI: 3499. Howes S117. Cox. I-353. Hill I:268. Smith 8989. Wickersham 6134. Nerhood #112. - One of the most important Russian expeditions to Siberia and Alaska, with much material on the land and people, views of Kadiak, Aleutians, Kamchatka, etc. Captain Joseph Billings, who had sailed with James Cook on Cook's last voyage, became an officer in the Russian navy and was given command of this expedition by the Empress. He had, as his secretary, Martin Sauer, who was responsible for this, the fullest account of this important expedition. Visits were made to Kodiack, Montague Island, and Prince William Sound. Eventually a scarcity of provisions forced the return of the expedition to the mainland. The map, A Chart of the Strait between Asia and America, is by Arrowsmith. "Englishman serving in Catherine's navies sails and rides horseback along the north Russian coast, 1785-94. He provides a valuable description of the land and the natives by word and sketch". (Nerhood).

Some foxing in one gathering, otherwise a clean crisp copy entirely uncut and partially unopened in antique-style boards, paper backstrip lettered in black. § First and only edition in English of the Englishman Sauer's full account of the Billings voyage, on which he travelled as secretary to the Captain, it is the classic description of the Aleutian Islands. This was the last of the major Russian surveys of the eastern coast of Siberia, and accomplished a great deal of geographical research. They visited Kodiak, Montague Island and Prince William Sound, and saw Mount St. Elias.Billings's naval career had started under Cook: he sailed as an able-bodied seaman on the Discovery, transferring on Cook's death to the Resolution. His voyage included a revisiting of Kamchatka where Captain Clerke, who had taken over the command of the third voyage after Cook's death, had been buried. One of the plates in this publication shows Clerke's grave.Sauer's is the "first account in English of the first major exploring expedition sent out by the Russians to the Frozen Ocean and the North Pacific after Bering's second expedition of 1741? The chart was made by Arrowsmith from Sauer's notes and Captain Billings's astronomical observations?" (Streeter). The large folding map is of Bering's Strait and the American and Asian coasts. The appendices include linguistic tables, one of which compares Kamchatkan, Aleutian and Kodiak dialects. Bibliography: Hill, 1528; Lada-Mocarski, 58.
