He was Canadian civil servant, lawyer, author and editor, probably best known for publishing collections of biographical sketches of notable Canadians.

Zustand: A fine copy. Quarto; a fine copy in a Sangorski-style binding of half green morocco, spine panelled in gilt between raised bands. First edition of the earliest published account of Cook's first voyage to the Pacific: the rare first issue, with the leaf of dedication to "The Right Honourable Lords of the Admiralty, and to Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander" inserted by the publishers to add authenticity. This copy also has the first state of p. 90 (recently identified and to be distinguished from an amended state where text begins "quantities."). This was the first of a series of so-called "surreptitious accounts" of Cook's various voyages to appear in print: the Admiralty found it practically impossible to enforce their ruling that no unofficial publications should pre-empt the official and lengthier accounts of the voyages, naturally much slower in the press. In this case, however, legal action was taken against the publisher for using an unauthorised dedication, forcing removal of the leaf during publication. "It is accordingly of the greatest rarity, and copies of the book containing the dedication are far more valuable than those without it." (Davidson). In this large copy, the offending leaf has generous margins and retains its printed instruction to the binder "Place this next the title" (which also, interestingly, indicates that the leaf was printed quite separately from the rest of the work). The British public's eagerness for news of the voyage needed more than newspaper accounts, while the officially sanctioned narrative would be a long time coming. Published anonymously some two months after the return of the Endeavour and nearly two years before Hawkesworth's official account, the Cook scholar Beaglehole demonstrated that the sailor James Magra was the author. His illicit sale of his journal to the publishers might well have confirmed Cook's opinion of him: 'one of those gentlemen, frequently found on board Kings Ships, that can very well be spared, or to speake more planer good for nothing.'. He was a New Yorker and a loyalist. Whatever his skipper and the authorities may have thought of him, it was Magra who got the first description of the voyage into print - the earliest printed account of the east coast of Australia, published even before acceptance of the name Botany Bay, here called Sting-ray Bay as Cook originally christened it. Magra later changed his name to Matra to claim a family inheritance. As Alan Frost has shown ("The Precarious Life of James Mario Matra: Voyager with Cook; American Loyalist; Servant of Empire", 1995) Matra used his experiences on the east coast of Australia to draft his 1783 proposal for a penal colony at Botany Bay. Never shy in self-promotion, he announced his hope of being made Governor. His plan, like Sir Joseph Banks's before and George Young's after him, had its effect on the planners of the First Fleet and he was called as an expert witness to the committee in charge of solving the question of transportation (see Frost, pp.113-122). His life has prompted a considerable literature, with multiple studies of his career and importance including those by G.B. Barton, George Anthony Wood, James Watson (who christened him the "Father of Australia", an accolade more often awarded to Joseph Banks), and more recently Antonio Giordano (who has him as "Australia's Spiritual Father") and Andrew Tink. .

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. London, Becket & De Hondt, 1771 [first issue, with the dedication leaf to Banks and Solander (quickly suppressed), and N1 in the uncancelled state]. Quarto, [ii] (title page, verso blank), ii (dedication leaf), 130, [3] ('Vocabulary of the Language of Otahitee') pages. Later half brown morocco, marbled sides and endpapers, edges dyed yellow; leather lightly rubbed; slight surface loss to the sides; title page slightly marked and a little dusty, with the inkstamp of the 'Northern Protector of Aboriginals' in the top corner; early notes in ink on a contemporary binder's blank; later marginal notes in pencil on about a dozen pages (but see below); an excellent copy. The first published account of Cook's first voyage to the Pacific, which appeared some two years before the official account. Provenance: This copy carries the stamp of the Northern Protector of Aboriginals, and appears to have been in the collection of the notable ethnographer Walter Edmund Roth (1861-1933), who occupied that office between 1898 and 1906. The pertinent pencil annotations are most likely in his hand. The later bookplates of John Glasgow (designed by Paul Nash, 1908), and Donald H. Graham Jr. are mounted on the front endpaper.

A Copy Owned by Three Distinguished Canadian Lawyers Polson, Archer. Law and Lawyers: A Sketch Book of Legal Biography, Gossip, And Anecdote. London: G. Routledge & Co., 1858. 199 pp. Text followed by 16-pp. publisher catalogue, additional publisher's advertisements to endleaves. Octavo (6-1/2" x 4"). Original pebbled cloth. Light soiling and shelfwear, spine ends and corners bumped and lightly worn, hinges cracked, lower outside corners of rear endleaves lacking with loss to text of publisher advertisements. Light toning to interior, early owner signatures ("K. Mackenzie," "N. Gordon Bigelow," and "Hiram Bigelow") to title page, pencil underlining and brief annotations throughout. $150. * Later, abridged edition. Initially published anonymously and attributed to Arthur Polson or James Grant, this book is an abridgement of a collection of biographical sketches of prominent lawyers, judges and chancellors and advocates. Other chapters explore such topics as "The Bench and the Woolsack," "The Literary Lawyer" and "Legal Eccentricity." Our copy has associations with three distinguished Canadian lawyers. Hiram Bigelow [1803-1853] was the father of Nelson Gordon Bigelow [1840-1892], who was also a notable politician. Nelson apprenticed with Kenneth Mackenzie [1804-1883], best-known for his remarkably successful defense, on behalf of the U.S. Government, of the Fenian raiders, all from the U.S., held in Toronto in 1866. Nelson is remembered for his successful defense in the important abortion trial of Dr. Emily Stowe [1831-1903], the first Canadian woman to publicly practice medicine as a credentialed doctor and the founder the Canadian Women's Suffrage Association.

This, the first French edition of the anonymously-published "Journal of a Voyage round the World in His Majesty's Ship Endeavour", London, 1771, and usually attributed to James Magra, contains the Lettre de M de Commerson (pp. 251-286) and Lettre de M le B. de G. (pp. 287-362), neither of which appears in the English edition. Commander of the "Endeavour", Cook was sent by the British Admiralty to observe the passing of Venus across the sun, and had with him on board Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, naturalists; Sydney Parkinson, botanical and natural artist; and Charles Green, astonomer. The expedition remained in Hawaii and Tahiti for several months, and the French title of the work derives from the fact that it added a great deal of information to the record of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, whose circumnavigation had taken place in 1766-1769 and had covered similar ground.

Woodcut headpiece. 8 pp. 12mo. Zustand: Disbound. First edition. First edition. Woodcut headpiece. 8 pp. 12mo. Rare copy of an anti-Swift satire variously attributed to the minor Irish poet James Arbuckle and Swift himself. The poem, which paints Swift's misanthropy as a form of self-regard, was one of a series of "libels" in response to a poetical address to Lord Carteret by Swift's friend, Patrick Delany. The poem was attributed to Swift by Ball in his edition of the correspondence on evidence gleaned from the letters; in an October 1730 letter to Lord Bathurst, Swift referred to "all the libels that have been writ against me . and among the rest a very scrub one in verses lately written by myself." Faulkner's 1768 edition of Swift's works attributed the poem to Arbuckle. The case for Arbuckle's authorship has been more recently made by James Woolley ("Arbuckle's 'Panegyric' and Swift's Scrub Libel: The Documentary Evidence," in Contemporary Studies of Swift's Poetry, University of Delaware Press, 1981, pp. 191-209), who gathers evidence from a bound collection of Arbuckle's printed and manuscript poems - including a corrected copy of the 1730 London edition of "A Panegyric" - in the National Library of Wales: "In effect, this volume stands as his tacit claim to have written the poem, a claim the more persuasive because it is unlikely to have been made to deceive" (p. 201).

Political print, 9 3/4 x 14 1/4 inches, etching and aquatint, with watercolor, on wove paper, picturing "a satire on the reverse impact of John Binns's anti-Jackson 'coffin-handbill' campaign during the presidential race of 1828. Editor-publisher Binns supports on his back a large load of coffins, upon which are figures of Henry Clay and incumbent President John Quincy Adams. Binns: 'I must have an extra dose of Treasury-pap, or down go the coffins Harry, for I feel faint already.' Clay: ' Hold on Johnny Q-for I find that the people are too much for us, and I'm sinking with jack and his coffins!' Adams (grasping the presidential chair): 'I'll hang on the Chair Harry, in spite of Coffin hand-bills, Harris's letter, Panama mission, or the wishes of the People.'"
