Beschreibung:
Folio (245 x 362 mm). 6 vols. (12), LXXII, (4), 668, (1) pp. (4), 743, (1) pp. 793, (1) pp. (2), IV, 5-780 pp. (4), 708 pp. 824, (104) pp. Title printed in red and black. With 187 engraved plates (many folding) and 9 engravings in the text (showing maps, plans, views, costumes, flora, fauna, scenes, portraits etc., including 2 bound as frontispieces), as well as numerous woodcuts in the text (showing arms, seals, devices, coastal views, details, machinery etc.). Uniform full calf with red labels to spine (gilding oxydized). Third and best edition of this important and profusely illustrated collection of travel reports, compiled by the brothers Awnsham and John Churchill, based on Hakluyt and Purchas. It includes the accounts of Martin Baumgarten (Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Syria), Thomas Roe, Philipp Balde and Johan Nieuhoff (East Indies, including a detailed account of the north-eastern coast of Arabia, with a description of pearl fishing in Bahrain and mentioning Julfar, Qatar, Sir Bani Yas, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras al-Khaimah, Amalgavine, and other places of interest along the coastline), J. Gemelli Careri (Turkey, Persia, India), Nicholas Rolamb (Constantinople), John Barbot (West Africa, with a chapter on "Mahomet and his Alcoran"), as well as of Yemen and various journeys to China, Korea, Greenland, Iceland, Africa, North and South America (including Columbus). - "This is a very valuable collection, both for its range of coverage and for the fact that it gives the original accounts [.] The third edition is considered to be best because of its greater inclusiveness and its copious index" (Hill). Two further volumes were issued separately in 1745, republished in 1752. - The count of the illustrations is notoriously complicated: the "List of the Copper Plates" counts 305 illustrations and maps, of which as many as four are placed on a single plate, and some are placed within the text. Compared to this list, the present set lacks 52 illustrations, or ca. 20 plates, whereas the first volume contains 5 additional plates not called for in the List. Three of the maps (Africa, Asia, America) which the List announces for the first volume are in fact bound in volumes IV-VI. The introduction, a "History of Navigation from its Original to this time", is likely one of the final works of the philosopher John Locke, whose publisher and financial manager Awnsham Churchill had been (while the attribution has been called into question, the text was included in Locke's Complete Works). - Provenance: Byrdie McNeill, Mt. Edgecumbe, Alaska (her stamps). Bindings professionally repaired. Some browning; some edge defects, tears and paper flaws, but generally well-preserved. - Cox, I, 10. Hill 295. Sabin 13017.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. THE LORD CARLETON -- BARLOW COPY. First edition, large paper copy. Folio in 4s (15 1/16" x 10", 381mm x 254mm). [Full collation available.] With 207 engraved plates, of which 79 are folding and 98 are integral to the text; and 11 woodcut illustrations integral to the text. Bound in contemporary speckled calf panelled in cat's-paw (re-backed, with the original backstrip laid down). Gilt supralibros of Henry Boyle, Baron Carleton. On the spine, six raised bands. Panels gilt. Title and number gilt to red morocco in the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Re-backed, with the original backstrip laid down. Fore-corners rebuilt. A triangular fill to the front board of vol. I. Scuffed generally, with some wear at the edges. Internally quite a clean copy with excellent margins. An old repaired tear to I.Xxx3, not affecting the text. Closed tear to III.S3. Passages of tanning at III.Aaa2-3 and III.Vvvv2-3. An early MS notation to III.Mmmmm1. Armorial bookplate of Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow to the front paste-down of each volume. Awnsham Churchill (1658-1728) with his brother John undertook to publish a vast collection of travel-accounts, both those for the first time translated into English and those which "for their Excellency and Scarseness deserve to be Reprinted" as the title explains. The process was laborious, since they had to commission those translations, amass the otherwise scarce works, and assemble the numerous copper plates in order to illustrate the travels extensively. After a 1694 Act of deregulation, Parliament passed the East India Company Act (1697; 9 Will. c. 44 s. LXIX), which overturned nearly a century of precedent. The Act, in effect, removed the Company monopoly on trade with the East Indies, and allowed any firm to trade so long as the Company had no presence in a given port. This created a rush of what the Company termed Interlopers: those who had for decades been barred from any trade with Asia. John and Awnsham Churchill, then Stationer to the King, sought to satisfy that new craving for accounts of previous travelers, which, once purely academic, now had real value to speculators and entrepreneurs to whom Asia and India in particular were now open. By gathering together nearly two centuries of voyages, the Churchills appealed to the newly-burgeoning market of those interested -- materially -- in the prospects of exploration. The Collection included voyages as near as the Ukraine and the Holy Land and as far afield as Chile, America, Africa and throughout Asia and the Pacific. Many appear in English for the first time, and most are augmented by engravings. The collocation of these works allows for a conspectus of what had been learned not just globally but over time as well. The binding owner of the volumes was Henry Boyle (1669-1725), who was an MP for Cambridge University and then for Westminster (in the same Parliament to which Awnsham Churchill was elected in 1705). Boyle -- elevated to the Peerage as Baron Carleton in 1714, providing a terminus post quem for the binding -- had a distinguished political career. He was Lord Treasurer of Ireland, Chancellor of the Exchequer 1701-1708 (in which role the present work was doubtless of nonpareil interest) and, after his ennoblement, Lord President of the (Privy) Council. The set eventually came into the possession of Samuel Latham Mitchill Barlow (1826-1889), the New York lawyer famed for removing Jay Gould from the Erie Railroad and reconciling the feud between Cornelius Vanderbilt and William Henry Aspinwall. He was a formidably wealthy bibliophile and collector; the 1890 sale of his library contained 2,784 lots (the present item was lot 515), including nearly all of the great voyages. Sabin 13015 (which reports a mere 51 plates and 4 maps). Artikel-Nr. JLR0249

Second, enlarged edition of one of the great voyage collections, originally issued by the brothers Awnsham and John Churchill in four volumes in 1704 with the advice and encouragement of the philosopher John Locke. Hill describes it as "a very valuable collection, both for its range of coverage and for the fact that it gives the original accounts". The list of subscribers runs to some 102 names, headed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Perhaps the most notable addition here, not present in the 1704 edition, is the account of West Africa (1678-82) by the French Huguenot slave trader Jean Barbot (1655-1712), A Description of the Coasts of North and South-Guinea, which includes a chapter on "Mahomet and his Alcoran. the cities of Medina and Mecca, and Mahomet's tomb; and of the Arabs" (vol. V, pp. 63-72). This is the first appearance of Barbot's narrative as he had failed to find a publisher in France - he fled to England in 1685, following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes - and was working on an English version at his death in 1712; "it was this version that was eventually published - probably as Barbot had left it but possibly with some editorial revision - by the Churchill brothers of London in 1732" (Law). Volume II opens with a fine portrait of the Dutch adventurer Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672), who served as an official of the Dutch West India Company in Brazil and East India Company (VOC) in China and India. His narrative of the East Indies includes a section devoted to the Arabian Gulf (pages 193-209), including such principal locations as Bahrain (Baharen), Sharjah (Sarba), Dubai (Dibei), Ras Al-Khaimah (Rasaelchimes), Muscat (Muskate), and a virtual track chart of locations along the coasts of Oman and the UAE. Among the most important of the many accounts printed here are those of Martin von Baumgarten on Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Syria, including his important description of the ruins at Baalbek, all undertaken at the beginning of the 16th century; the Dutch missionary Philippus Baldaeus on Sri Lanka (1656-65); Giovanni Franceso Gemelli Careri on Turkey, Persia and India (1683-98); Thomas Roe on India and Turkey (1615-19); Captain Thomas Phillips of the Royal African Company, who in 1693-94 commanded the company ship Hannibal to Guinea, "on a trading voyage. for elephants teeth, gold, and Negro slaves" (cited in Conrad, p.12); Domingo Fernandez Navarrete's account of the Empire of China during his work as a missionary from 1646-1673; Brawern and Herckemann's voyage to Chile in 1642 and 1643; Captain John Monck's voyage in 1619 and 1620 to Hudson Bay, to discover a passage between Greenland and America; and Michele Angelo Guattini's "curious and exact" account of his travels to the Congo (1666-67). Provenance: gilt stamp of the Northern Light Board to head compartment of spines, showing a lighthouse surmounted by a banderole bearing the company motto "in salutem omnium" (for the safety of all); established in 1786 with headquarters at Edinburgh, the Northern Lighthouse Board was formed to oversee the construction and operation of four lighthouses around the coastline of Scotland. Borba de Moraes, pp. 181-5; Conrad, Robert Edgar, In the Hands of Strangers: Readings on Foreign and Domestic Slave Trading and the Crisis of the Union, Pennsylvania State University Press, 2001; Hilmy I p. 135; Hill 295; Robin Law, "Jean Barbot as a Source for the Slave Coast of West Africa", History in Africa (Vol. 9, 1982, pp. 155-73); NMM 33; Sabin 13016. 6 vols, folio (351 x 216 mm). Engraved arms of 28 named subscribers in vol. I (the list of which runs to some 102 names headed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty), portrait frontispieces of Johan Nieuhof and Philippus Baldaeus, engraved titles to vols. II and III, 164 plates and maps, vignettes and woodcuts throughout; printed in double columns. Contemporary mottled calf skilfully rebacked in the early 19th century, spines with six raised bands, decoratively gilt tooled in compartments, pale brown morocco labels, sides with double gilt fillet border, gilt edge roll, red edges. Professional small repairs to spines and joints, some craquelure to covers, burn hole through 4X1 in vol. IV affecting some nine lines, occasional minor dust-marking and foxing otherwise a very good set that presents handsomely on the shelf. Artikel-Nr. 50373

Zustand: Very Good. 8 vols., mixed edition - the first volume volume corresponds to the third edition (published between 1744 and 1747), whereas volumes 2-8, all dated 1752, are part of a later edition, title to vol. 1 printed in red and black, 281 engraved plates, maps and plans (several folding), numerous woodcut and engraved text illustrations, occasional spotting, contemporary polished calf, boards border rolled in gilt, spines gilt with floriated designs, contemporary calf and green morocco labels, neatly rebacked with original spine laid on, folio (359 x223mm), London, for Henry Lintot and John Osborn, 1744 (first vol.)-1752 (vols. 2-8) An extensive collection of voyages to America, China, Turkey, Ceylon, Africa, India, Persia, and elsewhere. First published in four volumes in 1704, A Collection of Voyages and Travels, was one of the most successful publications to be produced by Awnsham and John Churchill, influential and innovative early booksellers in England. For the first time, this exhaustive compilation offered a single definitive publication of the most celebrated and recognised travel accounts documented over the past century. The Churchill's commitment to working from original manuscripts was unusual and deviated from common practice of copping from assorted published translations and editions already in circulation. The narratives are comprised of personal accounts translated from Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, and German, covering voyages to the New World, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Amongst the dozens of accounts in the collection are Domingo Fernandez Navarrete's account of the Empire of China during his work as a missionary from 1657-1673; Brawern and Herckemann's voyage to Chile in 1642 and 1643; Captain John Monck's voyage in 1619 and 1620 to Hudson Bay, to discover a passage between Greenland and America; and Michele Angelo Guattini's "curious and exact"account of his travels to the Congo.Volume II contains an account by the Dutch adventurer Johan Nieuhof (1618-1672), who served as an official of the Dutch West India Company in Brazil and East India Company (VOC) in China and India. His narrative of the East Indies encompasses the Arabian Gulf, including such principal locations as Bahrain (Baharen), Sharjah (Sarba), Dubai (Dibei), Ras Al-Khaimah (Rasaelchimes), and Muscat (Muskate), and describes the pearling industry. Another important Middle Eastern narrative is that of Martin von Baumgarten on Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, and Syria, which includes a description of the ruins at Baalbek. Though this publication became notable and successful, the Churchills were most distinguished in history as the personal publisher for the Enlightenment heavyweight, John Locke. In fact, the introductory discourse to this collection has been attributed to Locke, just prior to his death in 1704. PROVENANCE: Jolliffe, eighteenth-century armorial bookplate [Borba de Moraes pp.181-183; Hill p.52; Sabin 13017]. Artikel-Nr. 6792
