Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. London: Printed for J. Senex, W. & J. Innys, J. Osborn & T. Longman, 1726. (193 x 120mm). Folding engraved map showing California as an island, 4 engraved plates, 2 folding. Contemporary blind-panelled calf, spine with gilt-lettered morocco label.
 FIRST EDITION of one of the mos…t famous buccaneering voyages. This privately-funded privateering voyage sought to duplicate the success of Woodes Rogers' highly profitable voyage of 1708-1711. Shelvocke commanded the Speedwell and John Clipperton commanded the Success. They were jointly involved on raids against Spanish shipping on the west coast of South America. Shelvocke parted from Clipperton to conduct his own raids in Peru and to sail up the coast to Cabo San Lucas where he remained for some months and wrote one of the earliest descriptions of the Indians of Baja California. He also was one of the first to suggest the possibility of finding gold in California. Controversies surrounding the voyage began with his unjustified attack on a Portuguese Merchantman,which led to desertions and mutiny. It was while rounding Cape Horn that one of his crew shot an albatross, described in this work and later read by William Wordsworth who relayed it to Coleridge. It became an inspiration for his Rime of the Ancient Mariner. After a quick crossing of the Pacific to Guam and Canton where the Speedwell was sold, Shelvocke seems to have awarded himself more than double his share of the plunder. His return to England brought charges of piracy and embezzlement, and the publication of his account in 1726 brought charges of libel from his shipmate William Betagh who duly published his own account and rebuttal in 1728. However, Shelvocke went on to re- establish his reputation and died in 1742, age 67, a wealthy man due to his buccaneering.

First edition. Shelvocke (1675-1742) set off as captain of the smaller ship, the Speedwell, in an authorised expedition commanded by John Clipperton, on board the Success, to raid the town of Paita on the Peruvian coast, and capture the treasure-ship plying between Lima and Panama. His book provides the "fullest account of Calif…ornia of any of the old voyages" (Cowan). Having lost touch with Clipperton, Shelvocke proceeded on his own into the Pacific, where he raided Paita and headed for Juan Fernandez. When the Speedwell was wrecked, the crew spent five months marooned in the area already famous as "the Land of Robinson Crusoes" (Burney, IV, p. 465). Shelvocke and his men built a pinnace out of the wreck, called her the Recovery, and put to sea. Remarkably "his crew of forty, living on nothing but sun-dried eels" (Howgego) managed to capture the 200-ton Spanish ship Jesu Maria, which they renamed the Happy Return. They then raided Spanish settlements on the Pacific coast before heading east to Canton. There Shelvocke sold the ship, divided the spoils, and returned to England on an East Indiaman. The Voyage is an expanded version of the 1724 report he made to the lords of the Admiralty; in it he "presciently discusses the economic possibilities of guano and whaling, as well as mentioning traces of gold on the coast of California. His narrative is best remembered for the solitary albatross shot by Simon Hatley as the Speedwell entered the Southern Ocean, an episode absent from the manuscript version but told in the book [pp. 72-3] with such laconic emphasis that it found a passage to Wordsworth's heart, and thence to Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798)" (ODNB). The double-sheet folding map depicts the world in two hemispheres, with the route of the voyage traced and with California depicted as an island, two of the plates show inhabitants of California. Cowan (new edition, 1952), pp. 211-12; Hill 1557; Howgego I, S94; Huntress 42C; Sabin 80158. James Burney, A Chronological History of the Discoveries in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean, 1816. Octavo (192 x 120 mm), pp. xii, xxxii, 468. Folding engraved double-hemisphere world map as frontispiece, title vignette and 4 plates (2 folding) engraved by John Pine, numerous woodcut head- and tailpieces. Contemporary panelled calf, recent dark brown label, edges sprinkled red. Ownership inscription on rear blank verso, of "Cap: Norbury, Portsmouth, July the 23d 1732"; almost certainly Coningsby Norbury (1679-1734), who held several captaincies, including that of the 50-gun Argyll at the Battle of Passaro (1718) and the Berwick (1731-4; in 1732 Berwick was a guard ship at Portsmouth). Sometime recased, head of spine neatly repaired, rear joint cracked at foot but firm, edges and corners neatly repaired, abrasions to covers, internally cracked at gutter in a few places but firm, front free endpaper stained and a little messy, map laid down, title page dust-soiled and slightly tattered at fore edge, some pencil underlining (notably at pp. 248-52 where Shelvocke discusses the Juan Fernández Islands), abrasion at p. 29 affecting a few words (one completed in pencil), a few gatherings proud at fore edge, pale tidemark throughout: a well-handled but complete and clean copy, commensurate with having been the property of an active Royal Navy officer.
