This is the first printing in full from the original manuscript. Small edge chips to some text pages noted. Henry Teonge (born 18 March 1621 at Wolverton, Warwickshire, died 21 March 1690 at Spernall, Warwickshire) was an English cleric and Royal Navy chaplain who kept informative diaries of voyages he made in 1675-1676 and 1678-1679. The diary provides lively reports of two voyages to the Mediterranean and the Levant, including a raid on a fleet of Barbary corsairs at Tripoli in 1675, under the command of Sir John Narborough. The risk posed to shipping by the "Tripolines" is a recurrent theme in the account of the first voyage. The diary passed after Teonge's death to a certain John Holyoake, probably the man of that name who was Mayor of Warwick in 1699-1700 and whose uncle had property in Spernall. It was not published until 1825. The manuscript then disappeared, but it re-emerged at a Sotheby's auction in London in 1918. The 1927 scholarly edition edited by G. E. Manwaring under the eye of series editors Edward Denison Ross and Eileen Power has an informative introduction and notes. First published in this series [stated]/.…

8vo., xviii, 327pp., additional engraved vignette title, folding plate, old stain to lower inner margin of additional title with one neat repair, and folding plate (unaffecting text of plate), some circular blind impressed library stamps towards top of some leaves, with good quality calf reback over marbled boards, contemporary pigskin outer corners, with red morocco title label lettered in gilt. A VG copy in a good quality binding. Henry Teonge came from Spernall in Warwickshire and was rector at Alcester for a while. For some reason, probably debt, he decided, in his 50s, to leave his family (a wife and at least one son) to become a navy chaplain. He went on two long voyages and kept a detailed lively diary during each one, but these were not published until the 19th century. He served in His Majesty's Ships Assistance, Bristol, and Royal Oak during the 1670's. Teonge gives accounts of different ports in the Levant and Mediterranean, including Malta, Zante and Cephalonia. The diary, which is a faithful and detailed account of life at sea in those days, throws a ghastly light upon the insanitary and generally squalid conditions in the ships. Teonge officiated at twenty-one burials at sea in three months. His monthly income from the seamen's fourpences in the two first-mentioned ships was about sixty-six shillings, and in the Royal Oak, manned by 390 seamen, about £6 10s, in addition to which he received the ordinary seaman's rate of pay of nineteen shillings a lunar month. Thus, his whole income for a year of thirteen months was about £55 in the two smaller ships and about £97 in the larger vessel; and, as he was victualled and free from the attention of his creditors, his post as a naval chaplain had a great attraction for a poor country parson. The diary also has a very early mention of the game of cricket, the author states in his diary that during a visit to Antioch on the 6th of May 1676, several of the ships company, accompanied by the consul, rode out of the city early and amongst other pastimes indulged in krickett.…

8vo. XVIII, (2), 327, (1) pp. With engr. title page and lithogr. folding facsimile. Modern half calf (by Bayntun's, Bath) with giltstamped red spine label and marbled boards. Edges sprinkled in red. First edition of the work on which rests the fame of the English clergyman Teonge (1621-90). Due to financial difficulties, he enlisted in the Navy and became a chaplain on the ships Assistance, Bristol and Royal Oak, completing three voyages to the Mediterranean, where he searched for pirates, landed in Syria and visited Malta, Zante, Cephalonia, and Aleppo. - "The interest of Teonge's life is concentrated in the diary of the few years he spent at sea, which gives an amusing and precious picture of life in the navy at that time. This journal, from 20 May 1675 to 28 June 1679, having lain in manuscript for over a century, was purchased from a Warwickshire family by Charles Knight, who edited it in 1825 as 'The Diary of Henry Teonge,' with a facsimile of the first folio of the manuscript (London, 8vo). The narrative reveals the diarist as a pleasant, lively, easy-going man, not so strict as to prevent his falling in with the humours of his surroundings" (DNB). The diary contains accounts of cruises in the Channel, Atlantic, and Mediterranean, leavened with occasional songs, sonnets, acrostics, etc. "The nature of Teonge's diary, and the disappearance of the manuscript for almost a century after its first publication in 1825, led to persistent suggestions that it might have been a forgery. Confirmation both of Teonge's existence and of the sequence of events which he recorded came from the Admiralty records in the Public Record Office, and the re-emergence of the manuscript itself at a Sotheby's sale in 1918 put the matter conclusively to rest" (ODNB). - Occasional insignificant brownstaining; altogether a well-preserved copy. - Allibone 2375.
