Leather. Zustand: Good. Illustrated with engraved plates by Thomas Bewick, this is Matthew Consett's very scarce account of his pioneering journey to northern Lapland, and Scandinavia. The second edition of this very scarce work, which was first published earlier the same year in Stockton. This London re-issue of the Stockton edition has a cancel title page. A fascinating and detailed account of the travels of an Englishman in Scandinavia and northern Europe, relayed in a series of letters. Consett was the first Englishman to visit the northern part of Lapland. Illustrated with seven engraved plates - one featuring two images - from Thomas Bewick, including depictions of Tornio in Finland, Snow Grouse, and the women of Lapland. This was one of a few Thomas Bewick works in which he used copper engravings. Collated, complete. ESTC T75356 A4, a4, B-X4. Collated, complete. The text was actually ghostwritten by a young clergyman, John Brewster of Stockton, on the basis of notes taken by Consett and two of his friends during theirouting to Sweden. In a straight grain morocco binding. Minor losses of calf to back strip head and tail. Front joint and rear joint head and tail starting, with boards firmly held. Endpapers renewed. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned, with the odd spot, most concentrated to perimeters of plates. Good. Thomas Bewick (illustrator). book.…

7 full-page engraved plates (two with two birds on each), including frontispiece, occasional spots, frontispiece engraving with watercolour smudge, two plates and gathering with dampstain at gutter margin; tipped-in leaf from bookseller's catalogue and final unrelated section of engravings printed on recto only with tipped-in title page, 'Rough / Impressions from Bewick Blocks', pp. [xx], 157, [27 leaves, engravings], 4to, modern half morocco, marbled boards, backstrip with silver-lettered morocco labels, front pastedown with Elliott and Sprangt's circulating libraries' labels, very good. An intriguing work, the result of a wager struck with Sir Henry George Liddell that, within a give time, he couldn't accomplish a return trip to Lapland, bringing home with him two inuit women and two reindeer. Consett, who accompanied Liddell, provided notes (including the specious 'Lapland Song') which were written up by John Brewster, a historian of Stockton, where this title was first published (earlier in 1789). Bewick visited Ravensworth Castle, the Liddell's family seat, in order to draw the sledge, the Lapland women and the reindeer from life, the latter appealing to the artist's sensibilities to the extent that he preserved its antlers after its death, and hung them on the walls of his Gateshead house. On the flyleaf, a hand-written description states that this copy belonged to Sprangt's circulating library of Tunbridge Wells, which subsequently became Elliott's circulating library. [With:] Newspaper cutting and circular relating to these libraries, and two small Lapland engravings. (Tattersfield TB, 2.635).…
