Published by John Murray, London, Undated, Circa 1847. 2 volumes. Volume I: lii, 366 pp. Volume II: [vii]-x, 447 pp. with in text illustrations, plates and maps; folding… map to each volume at rear; folding plate in Volume 1. Quarter leather over brown textured cloth, all edges red. Front boards detached in Volume 1; inner hinges lightly weakened; foxing to preliminaries; leather spines very rubbed. Library labels to front boards are from the well-respected Lovejoy and Southern Counties Circulating Library, 37 and 38 London Street, Reading. At the time, Lovejoy's library was reputedly the largest private circulating library in England outside London. The bookshop and library were continued after Lovejoy's death by Eliza Langley, his assistant of 21 years; her name appears on these labels. This 1847 account by Sir James Clark Ross, documents his groundbreaking expedition with HMS Erebus and Terror which resulted in the discovery of the Ross Sea, the Ross Ice Shelf, and Victoria Land. The expedition had a major scientific impact: it identified the approximate location of the South Magnetic Pole and provided extensive oceanographic, magnetic, and geological data.

First edition. 4to. pp. xxiv, 182, [2], 68 (Appendix); eng. frontis. of"The James Watt, Steam Packet, Propelling against a storm", 31 figures to text including 1 engraved plate, errata slip tipped-in at p.1; a little foxing to frontis., else very good in contemporary full calf, expertl…y rebacked with original spine retained, gilt decorated spine with contrasting lettering piece, minor wear to extrems. Presentation inscription to flyleaf from Lady Rivett-Carnac to Richard Creighton in 1844 with recipient's ownership inscription to title-page, the Bertram Plimer copy with his bookplate loosely inserted. The British Admiralty had been slow in seeing the advantages of steam navigation when Ross wrote this, the first work on steam navigation by a naval officer. His plea for the new technology was borne out in practice by Ross himself, who at that time was preparing his second attempt at the North-West Passage aboard the paddle steamer Victory. A rarity of the literature.

In den WarenkorbThe best route towards China for leaky crazy ships during the strength of the S.W. Monsoon Two engraved charts, laid down on linen. Exceptionally detailed, large-scale charts of parts of Southeast Asia and the China Sea, including Singapore, Malay, Borneo, Cambodia, Cochin- China, Hainan, southeast China, Taiwan, and Luzon in th…e Philippines. The chart boldly indicates the "best" sea-routes to and from Batavia to China, depending on the season, and the condition of the vessel. "The best route towards China for leaky crazy ships during the strength of the S.W. Monsoon" plots a course that hugs the shores of the Malay Peninsula and Cambodia. The islands of the "Sincapour Strait", including "Sincapour", in shown in great detail, with numerous depth soundings, and coastal profiles. Printed updates, to the location of dangerous shoals in particular, appear to 1849. The current charts were first published in 1821 and 1823, respectively, as part of a plan to monetize his experience by producing a series of charts of the China Sea, Malacca Strait, and Bombay Harbour. Touchingly, the lower sheet shows the "Pedro Branco Light" that was built as a commemoration to Horsburgh upon his death in 1836, at the eastern entrance to the Strait of Singapore. The map is dedicated to Captain Daniel Ross (1780-1849) and his team of hydrographers of the Bombay Marine. In 1807, Ross was tasked by the East India Company to survey the China Seas. He spent nine years surveying the coast between 1807 and 1816, and then spent a further four years charting the seas between 1816 and 1820. On his return to England in 1821 he was rewarded with a cash sum of £1,500 from the East India Company, for his tireless work out in the Far East. He would later appear before a government Select Committee investigating the possibilities of increasing the Britain's trade with China. With the tracks of many voyages from the Singapore Strait to Canton, and then on to Manila, plotted, and annotated in the same hand, in pen and different coloured ink, dated: 1856, 1858, 1859, 1860, and 1864. Provenance: With the tracks of many voyages from the Singapore Strait to Canton, and then on to Manila, plotted, and annotated in the same hand, in pen and different coloured ink, dated: 1856, 1858, 1859, 1860, and 1864.

In den WarenkorbMaps. Zustand: Otherwise very good condition. A rare map of islands in the Andaman Sea, Burma, surveyed by Daniel Ross, known as the "Father of the Indian Surveys." Captain Ross was engaged in surveying the coast of China from 1806-1820. His highly accurate & trigonometrical charts were published as they were completed, and the…whole were incorporated into Horsburgh's general charts. In 1823, he became the Marine Surveyor General. Clements Markham, in "A Memoir on the Indian Surveys" (1871) stated that "During the Burmese War from 1823 to 1826 the useful operations under his superintendency were interrupted." and despite a "fit of ruinous economy" in 1828, Ross resumed his good work and in 1830, again had two brigs (surveying) in the Mergui Archipelago. The map was surveyed on the heels of the First Burmese War, perhaps with thoughts of being prepared for another war, and another, which fortunately did not start again until the 1850s. The map shows the islands Hasting's, St. Matthew's and St. Luke's, now named Hastings, Zadetkalay and Zadetkyi. Other islands include Pine Tree, Russell's, Three Hill, Phipp's, Barwell's and Horse Shoe Island, mostly appearing as Kawthaung on Google maps. James Horsburgh (1762 -1836) was a Scottish hydrographer who worked for the British East India Company and charted much of South East Asia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. When he retired from the sea in 1806, he produced a Sailing Directory to the East and in 1810 was appointed as hydrographer to the East India Company where he revised the Directory, publishing editions in 1816-7, 1826-7, and 1836. After his death the Admiralty took up the Directory and released editions in 1841, 1852, 1855, and 1864. his charts eventually passed to the Admiralty Hydrographic Office who also reissued them. Sea chart backed on linen and edged in blue silk, 19 1/2 x 22". Some spotting in the lower right corner (water) but otherwise remarkable clean and fresh, including the silk ties. "Engraved by Richard Bateman" beneath the title. The British Library holds a copy (BLL01004857047) but not noted on OCLC.
