First Edition of the English Translation, abridged from the original Russian of 1802. "One of the fundamental andearly books on the Aleutian Islands, and particularly on Unalashka." (Lada-Mocarski) Sarytschev's journal gives an account of the first major exploring expedition sent out by the Russians to the Frozen Sea and the North Pacific after Bering's second expedition of 1741. It was the last of the major Russian surveys of the eastern coast of Siberia and required nine years to accomplish (1785-94). During that time the expedition visited the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, Kodiak, Montague Island and Prince William Sound. Alaska and the Aleutian Islands were here carefully charted for the first time. Joseph Billings, who has previously accompanied Cook on his last fatal voyage and subsequently entered the Russian navy, was selectec by Catherine II to command the expedition. Sarytschev served as surveyor on the voyage. Another account was written by Martin Sauer, who acted as historian and secretary on the expedition. Bell S115. Hill 1527. Howes S-115. Sabin 77126.

Hardcover. Oblong folio (415 x 580mm).

Later morocco backed marbled boards. Condition: text lightly spotted, some margins of plates spotted, a few repaired tears to margins. A scarce work by Melling based on his travels in the Pyrenean region. Melling had an interesting life; he was born in Karlsruhe in 1763 and moved soon after to Alsace. At 19 he went to Italy, Egypt and Constantinople . and following his work for the sister of Selim III, he became, for the next 18 years, Imperial Architect to the Ottoman Court. He returned to Paris in 1803 and with the help of Talleyrand was appointed landscape painter to Empress Josephine. In 1821 he was sent by the French government to document the Pyrenees and the 72 fine aquatint views in this work are based on the watercolors that he executed on his travels. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.…

(worn, hinges & upper front joint cracked, some light foxing, few short marginal tears to first 2 leaves, former owner's small rubberstamp on title). Second Edition.

Two manuscript documents. 4to, each one page, approximately 250 words total, docketed on blank verso. Mitchell writes, in part, "I hereby certify that I have heard Major Fisher's explanation of the materials he employs in preparing his warranted Razor Straps . I have found the apparatus admirably adapted for shaving" and Mitchell adds, in part [following a description in another hand of "Fisher's New Improved Razor Straps Warranted"], "[Fisher] has communicated to me the Composition of his Chemical paste." Macneven and Mitchell qualify as among the most important American scientists of the day; Macneven opened the first chemical laboratory in New York (1815) and Mitchell published works on chemistry and mineralogy, helped found scientific societies, and served as a U.S. Senator from New York. The two scientists joined with others to open the Rutgers Medical College in 1826. Both documents folded, but very good.…

The collection is lightly aged and in good condition. Letter One (12mo, 3 pp), Oxford, 1 November 1827, signed 'W: M.': Begins by saying that he will be pleased to join Charles 'in the Lodging you propose or any other more to your mind - I had not fixed upon any plan, but thought once of being at Ellis's Hotel - (the Colonial Club House, St. James St.) Your proposal, however, I like much better.' He will 'much prefer being in the Regent Street on late Nights in the Ho. of Commons [Manning was also a Member of Parliament], as I found Wimpole St. rather too far last winter.' Thanks him for the information about Mrs Lennox, apologises for his inattention to 'Mr. Connant's request'. Thanks him for sending Lord Rendlesham's game to two persons. Letter Two (12mo, 3 pp), ' Hill', 11 November 1827, signed 'W: M.' Charles 'did not appear to have heard of the Grand Signior': 'it is fortunate however that the Company escaped so well - & I am very thankful for Maria's escape'. Manning has 'seen the Duke of Wellington since Church who has given me many particulars of the engagement with the Turkish Fleet'. Discusses plans for a visit London. 'The Duke was very gracious & invited me to dinner tomorrow to meet a large party but we had made our arrangements & I was obliged to decline'. Letter Three (12mo, 1 p), 4 February 1830, signed 'W: M'. Discusses 'an accommodation to Nurse Pring to have permission to remain in New Bank Buildings & to give up her Lodging at Woolwich': 'I cannot offer her board WAges but she may partake of anything left from our Table'. Letter Four (12mo, 3 pp), Combe Bank, 20 July 1831, signed 'W: Manning'. He does not 'feel inclined to risk a Letter of so much importance to Sir Richard Jackson who may have left Scotland before it gets there'. Instructs Charles to make a purchase for Miss Elizabeth Hughes. 'As John has sent me all the Letters for Signature I shall perhaps not go up tomorrow but Henry will do so & he will take this Letter'. Charles will 'receive from Henry one of the printed particulars from Mr Christie'. Letter Five (12mo, 2 pp), Combe Bank, 21 July 1831, signed 'W: Manning'. Giving instructions for banking transactions. Letter Six (12mo, 1 p), 4 October [no year, but c. 1833], Upper Gower Street [to which Manning moved following his bankruptcy in 1831], signed 'W: M-'. Small hole caused by breaking of wafer resulting in loss to one word. Discussing his wife's age as stated on an insurance policy. Letter Seven (12mo, 1 p), 'Bank 12 o'Clock', signed 'W: M'. Marked 'private'. He has just learnt 'that Mr: Turnor has left his Widow £3000 a Year, & to Edmunda [the wife of Manning's eldest son Frederick] £1000 a year for her Life - ample provision perhaps £30,000 to each of his younger Children'. The transcription of Manning's memorial tablet is on one side of a 4to leaf of laid paper watermarked 1834. Good, with one 3 cm closed tear. Docketed in bottom left-hand corner 'Tablet erected in Sundridge Church | Febry 1836.' Praises Manning's 'meekness, purity, benevolence and unwearied endeavours for the welfare and happiness of all around him', which 'will be long remembered by an extensive circle of grateful friends, but chiefly by his own Family, who deeply feeling their bereavement, desire to record by this Tablet, their reverential and pious affection for the best of Fathers -'. This supports Cardinal Manning's evaluation of his father's character, on which doubt has been cast by the author of his entry in the Oxford DNB.…
