Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Voyage Round the World in the Years 1740-4' offers a gripping firsthand account of one of the most famous naval expeditions in British history. Led by Commodore George Anson, the voyage was commissioned during the War of Jenkins' Ear with the ambitious goal of disrupting Spanish interests in the Pacific. This narrative captures the harrowing realities of 18th-century maritime life, documenting the fleet's struggle against violent storms at Cape Horn, the devastating effects of scurvy, and the eventual triumphant capture of the Manila galleon, a massive Spanish treasure ship.Beyond its military and economic objectives, the work serves as an invaluable record of geographical discovery and scientific observation. Lord Anson's detailed observations of the flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples encountered during the circumnavigation provided contemporary readers with a window into unknown worlds. As a cornerstone of maritime literature, 'A Voyage Round the World in the Years 1740-4' remains a definitive tale of endurance, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of duty across the globe's vast and unforgiving oceans. It stands as a testament to the bravery of early explorers and the complex legacy of naval exploration.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Frank on 7 x 13 cm panel cut from front of envelope. In good condition, lightly aged, laid down on part of leaf from album, with the reverse carrying part of the frank to a letter from another unidentified individual, with free postmark from 1826. Byron's frank has the customary red-ink postmark at top right ('FREE | 8 DE 8 | 1826'), and is laid out by him in the customary fashion: 'Portsmouth December Seven | 1826 | The Honble. Mrs. Collingwood | Hawkhurst | Kent'. Byron's signature 'Byron.', at bottom left, is only underlined, and not enclosed within the two parallel lines as required. There is a naval connection between Byron and the addressee. Collingwood House was bought by the celebrated Admiral (of Trafalgar fame) in 1816 for his daughter and her husband George Newnham. It was later the residence of astronomer Sir John Herschel.…
