ANSON, George. Reize rondsom de werreld, gedaan in de jaaren 1740 tot 1744.. op een expeditie naar de Zuidzee; opgesteld uit de journaalen en andere papieren van.. Anson zelven, en onder zyn opzicht uitgegeven door Richard Walter. Uit het Engelsch vertaald. 3e druk .. merkelyk verbeterd. (And:) Reize naer de Zuidzee, met het schip De Wager, onder het opzicht van George Anson, ondernomen in den jaere 1740. Zynde een vervolg op de reize van .. Anson. In't Nederduitsch vertaeld. (1e druk). Leiden, Amsterdam, Johannes Le Mair, Stephanus Jacobus Baalde, Cornelis van Hoogeveen, 1765-1766.2 volumes. 4to. 19th century half cloth, spines gilt. Volume I with title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette, 15 folding maps and plans (2 small tears rep.) and 20 folding plates; Volume II with title-page printed in red and black with fine engraved title-vignette and 8 engraved plates (4 folding). (32), 384,(1); (36),212,(16) pp. First published in Dutch in 1749. - Official account of Anson's (1697-1762) famous privateering expedition (1740-1744) of seven vessels against Spanish commerce in the Pacific, edited from Anson's papers by Richard Walter, chaplain of the expedition. Although Anson lost most of his crew (an estimated 1000 lost to scurvy, 300 to typhus and dysentery, four in action and the remainder to shipwreck), and all but one of his ships, he did return with a vast bounty. Anson's voyage appears to have been the most popular book of maritime adventure of the 18th century. His exploits brought back new knowledge about the little-known regions around the southern tip of South America. The second volume contains the account of John Byron (1723-1786), midshipsman to the Wager, separated from Anson's fleet in fog off Patagonia, he rounded Cape Horn and ran aground in the Guayaneco Archipelago, to the south of the Golfo de Penas on the southern Chilean coast. The fate of the survivors, who then divided into two return parties, is one of the most gripping yarns of maritime history. 'Anson'voyage appears to have been the most popular book of maritime adventure of the eighteenth century' (Hill p.646). - A classic account of circumnavigation, a masterpiece of descriptive travel. - Two small library stamps on title-page otherwise a good copy.Tiele 42-43; Cat.

De Jong wrote his travel memoirs in the form of letters to a fictional friend. It was a narrative form that had been used for many 18th century novels, but was still special for travel descriptions. It meant that De Jong was not too bound to a strict retelling of his travels, that he could elaborate to his heart's content on topics that he thought his audience would find interesting, and that he could address his reader directly (Roeper & Wildeman, Reizen op papier, p. 104). - (Some library stamps).Tiele 553; Cat.

Also a journal of the adventure's voyage, in the year 1772, 1773, and 1774. With an account of the separation of the two ships, and the most remarkable incidents that befel each. Interspersed with historical and geographical descriptions of the islands and countries discovered in the course of their respective voyages. London, F. Newbery, 1775.Contemporary calf, skilfully rebacked, spine lettered in gilt. With large chart and additional chart of 'Part of the tropical discoveries of the Resolution sloop, Captain J. Cook in 1774' and 5 engraved plates. (14),328 pp. First edition. - Preceding Cook's official account by some 18 months, this was 'the first account of Cook's second voyage and the first account of exploration within the Antarctic circle' (Davidson 81). This eye-witness account was written by the Irish gunner's mate on the Resolution whom Cook had picked up in Batavia during his first voyage. It contains many events not recorded in the official account by Cook and gives the reasons which caused Sir Joseph Banks and his twelve assistants to withdraw from the expedition at the last moment. Marra made an unsuccessful attemp to desert at Tahiti on May 14, 1774, during this second voyage. With the very rare additional chart showing the track of the Resolution from Norfolk Island to the New Hebrides. This book is actually the first book published, based on first-hand knowledge, relating to the Antarctic regions and the fine plates are the first depictions of the region. - A fine copy with the extremely rare extra folding engraved map.Beaglehole II, p.CLIII-CLV; Beddie 1270; Hill 1087; Roscove 214; Spence 758; Kroepelien 809; O'Reilly-Reitman 379; Hocken p.14; Conrad p.13; Sabin 16247.
