Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This book contains three accounts of Dutch voyages in search of a north-eastern passage to China, undertaken in the 1590s. (When this Hakluyt edition was published in 1853, continuing anxiety about the fate of Sir John Franklin's expedition made any accounts of Arctic exploration extremely topical.) The Dutch were not successful in establishing a north-east passage; but the stories of the expeditions and of the courage and endurance of the men who took part in them make for fascinating reading.…

This book contains three accounts of Dutch voyages in search of a north-eastern passage to China, undertaken in the 1590s. The original Hakluyt edition was published in 1853, but a new edition was prepared in 1876, in light of recent expeditions to the region, of which accounts are given.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Original brown cloth. Small chips to the spine ends. Front hinge a little weak although the binding is sound. Inscriptions to the front endpapers. Clean internally and fully intact with frontis and (FINE) foldout map. 2nd ed.

2nd Ed. 398pp. + 4pp. + [i]. Tinted litho. frontis., folding map, 2 ills. Much pencil underlining and some pencil marginalia, light age toning, rebound in modern half calf with marbled boards, gilt motifs with gilt lettered label to spine. Inscribed to head of title page 'William Henry Black Esq. F.S.A. From the Author IN Memoriam 13 Nov. 1867'.D.N.B. Charles Tilstone Beke (1800-1874). '. In 1864 Captain Cameron and other British subjects and missionaries were imprisoned by the King of Abyssinia for pretended insults. Beke at once undertook a journey to Abyssinia to urge on King Theodore the necessity of releasing the British consul and his fellow prisoners. Beke obtained the temporary liberation of the prisoners, but his mission appears to have been of questionable prudence and to have irritated the king, whose subsequent conduct, in again imprisoning and ill-treating the captives, led to the Abyssinian war, which resulted in the complete defeat, and the death, of King Theodore.'

First edition, first printing. Author's presentation copy, inscribed to Alexander George Findlay. Octavo. Publisher's original plum cloth with blind-stamped decoration to the boards and titles in gilt to the spine. Top edge untrimmed. Pale yellow endpapers. Illustrated with seven engraved maps (two folding, including frontispiece of the Nile Basin and one in-text). A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some minor marks to the cloth, wear to the corners, a little fraying and chipping to the joints and spine ends, a neat repair to the lower joint. The contents, with a little toning and very occasional spotting to page edges, occasional offsetting from the maps to facing text pages and a small, neat clear tape repair to the blank margin of the lightly creased folding frontispiece map, are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout. Inscribed in black ink at the head of the title page "A. G. Findlay Esq. / From the author". An excellent association copy of this notable work on the exploration of the Nile, presented by one key figure in the charting of the region to another. Charles Tilstone Beke (1800-1874) was an English traveller and geographer, best-known for his explorations and studies of the Nile and its tributaries. A fellow of the Royal Geographical Society - who had received its gold medal for his contributions to the knowledge of Ethiopia - Beke was the first to determine, with any approach to scientific accuracy, the course of the Abay River, otherwise known as the Blue Nile. The present work, although drawing upon on his earlier texts, includes his pioneering essay 'On the Nile and its Tributaries' and contains much new material concerning the latest discoveries in the region. Having had his theories on the population and geography of the interior of Africa confirmed by the explorations of Sir Richard Burton, Beke also used the present work to call for the opening up of the continent by merchants, missionaries and philanthropists. The recipient, Alexander George Findlay (1812-1875), was a geographer and one of the leading hydrographers of the period, who produced charts and maps for a wide variety of famous ventures. Indeed, at the time of Sir John Franklin's loss he sifted all the possible routes; and as a member of the Arctic committee of the Royal Geographical Society worked on the arguments which induced the government to send out the Alert and Discovery expedition of 1875. Much of his time was also devoted to the labours of his friend David Livingstone, as well as African exploration more broadly. Notably, Findlay contributed to the investigation of the sources of the Nile, constructing maps for the Burton and Speke explorations of 185859, which in part built upon - and vindicated - Beke's previous work. Pleasingly, this copy of Beke's most complete study of the Nile valley was thus given to Findlay shortly after this latest expedition had returned home.
