Large 4to (203 x 260 mm). (6), LVIII, 254, (2) pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With an engraved headpiece. Contemporary full calf, spine rebacked and gilt to style. Leading edges gilt, all edges sprinkled in red. Marbled endpapers. Extremely rare pilot guide to the East Indies, reduced to a single quarto volume from the author's great "Neptune Oriental", published simultaneously. One of the greatest maritime atlases in the history of French cartography, the "Neptune" was devoted to exotic regions (the Middle East including the Gulf, the African coasts, the Indian Ocean and East Indies, Southeast Asia, parts of the Chinese coast, and the Pacific islands). It was compiled by Jean-Baptiste-Nicolas-Denis d'Après de Mannevillette (1707-80), hydrographer to the French Navy, supported by the French East India Company and the Académie des Sciences. "It was at once hailed as a major achievement and welcomed by navigators throughout the world" (Cat. Nat. Mar. Mus.). Of the present text-only reduction, OCLC lists no more than nine copies worldwide, only one of which in the the U.S. (University of Chicago). - Corners bumped; modern spine gilt in 18th-century style. A good, wide-margined copy. Provenance: 1) From the library of Sir Francis Lindley Wood, 2nd Baronet, of Barnsley (1771-1846), with his bookplate on the pastedown. 2) By descent to his son Charles Wood, 1st Viscount Halifax (1800-85), sometime Chancellor of the Exchequer, with handwritten ownership on the flyleaf. As President of the Board of Control of the English East India Company, Sir Charles Wood was instrumental in spreading education in India. 3) Acquired from the Portuguese trade. - Jöcher/Adelung II, 622.

Original double-page map (48 x 66 cm, overall sheet 55 x 70 cm) with inset "Plan des Isles Karak et Korgo et de la Baye de Bundereek" engraved on copper by Guillaume-Nicolas Delahaye. Some light marginal toning, generally a very good copy of this elegant map of the Gulf, the most accurate of its day. This fine, rare nautical map of the Arabian Gulf forms part of the famous "Neptune Oriental", a highly regarded collection of maps of the Middle and Far Eastern coasts which the author, the French hydrographer d'Après de Mannevillette (1707-1780), had mapped during his time as captain for the French East India Company. The collection was first published in 1745, but redrawn and newly engraved by Guillaume-Nicolas Delahaye for the 1775 edition. The chart (plate 28 in the volume) is stated to be based on information collected by captain René Julien Le Floch de La Carriere and in many respects resembles the roughly contemporaneous works of William Herbert (Al Ankary no. 190) and d'Anville (Al Ankary no. 211). About the present map (in its 1745 version), Zoltán Biedermann writes, "It is interesting to note that, despite the fact that the shape of the Gulf is rooted in the Dutch tradition that we have come to name after Cornelis Roobacker, there are many new place names that were not there in the earlier decades. Like some other items from this period, this map is thus a precious document of the shifting commercial geography of Persia and the Persian Gulf" (Historical Atlas of the Persian Gulf, p. 290). The map includes an early reference to Qatar. The town labelled Deh-Rogn on an island near the coast of Bahrain transliterates to "the village at Ras Rakan," referring to a geographical feature of a small spit at the northernmost point of the peninsula. Interestingly, an island labelled Samaca lies to the east, so Qatar and Bahrain may have been interchanged on this map. The area to the south of Qatar is described as "little frequented, thus little known." Other geographical details are overlooked, especially in the south of the map near the present day United Arab Emirates. The pearl banks of the southern gulf are yet to become famous and remain unmarked. Some inaccuracies are recorded in the map, such as Daba [Dubai] being placed on the Omani coast. (Tibbetts no. 265; not in Al Ankary but cf. nos. 208f. for two other maps by Mannevillette - the Gulf of Aden and the port of Jeddah - hailed as "extremely accurate" and supplying "detailed information").…

Original copper-engraved sea chart of Manilla (57.5 x 41.5 cm overall) printed on heavy paper. The chart extends from the North coast of Mindoro Island to north of Pointe de Capones, centered on Manilla Bay and Subec Bay. It is based on the most progressive sources available to the French Navy. European interest in Manila Bay, and the Philippines in general, was heightened upon hearing news of British Admiral George Anson's capture of a Spanish Manila Galleon off of Cabo Espiritu Santo, in 1743. A few isolated spots, generally a very good clean copy. The present chart was drafted by French sailor and hydrographer Jean-Batiste de Mannevillette (1707-80). Mannevillette apprenticed under the great royal cartographer Guillaume De L'Isle. He then joined the maritime service of the Compagnie des Indes, eventually attaining the rank of captain. Upon his return to Paris, Mannevillette was appointed as director of the Dépôt des Cartes et Plans de la Navigation des Indes. In 1745, he published the first edition of his sea atlas of Asian waters, Le Neptune Oriental, regarded as a major achievement and a library indispensable to navigators. The high quality of Mannevillette's charts won him the acclaim of both mariners and academics alike, and he was admitted as a fellow of the Academy of Sciences. He published a second, heavily revised, edition of the Neptune Oriental in 1775., from which the present chart derives. …

Second edition. Engraved frontispiece. Large folio. Lacking the title-page, manuscript index numbered to 61, not matching the charts present, calling for sixty-three sheets, number 10 'Carte a placer' ('Chart to insert') seemingly never present, but with a break in the engraved plate numbers, seven charts not listed, totalling sixty-eight chart sheets, mostly double-page and a full-page sheet of coastal profiles. [Paris & Brest, Demonville & Malassis, Apres de Mannevillette (1707-1780) was the son of a French sea-captain, in the service of the French West India Company; he was one of the first great French chart-publishers. From about 1735 he immersed himself in the chart of the route round India to the East Indies, collecting charts and other material about the navigation of the route and travelling extensively to build up his own experience.   In 1745, he published the First Edition of his pilot-book, 'Le Neptune Oriental ou Routier General des Cotes des Indes Orientales et de la Chine .'; a second edition, and greatly expanded, followed in 1775, with sixty-three charts, and then a 'Supplement au Neptune Oriental .' published in 1781. However, copies of the various editions tend to have a variable plate count, with this copy containing sixty-nine plates.     National Maritime Museum, Atlases, 204.…
