7 [White, John & Bligh, William]: MAGAZIN VON MERKWURDIGEN NEUEN REISEBESCHREIBUNGEN, aus fremden Sprachen ubersetzt und mit erlautenden Anmerkungen begleitet. Mit Kupfern und Landkarten. Funfter Band. 8vo, First Edition; pp. xviii, 136 (White’s Journal); [2], [139]-232 (Bligh’s Narrative); [2], 235-382 (Travels in Africa); [2], [385]-448 (Norris to the Kings of Dahomey); folding map as frontispiece, large folding map, 4 plates; contemporary quarter calf, with marbled sides and contrasting title-labels on spine; (a very mild waterstain to upper portion of plates and very slight wrinkling of text leaves, but a nice, generally clean and crisp copy); rare. Berlin; In der Vossischen Buchhandlung; 1791. ***Comprising, Introduction and Summary, followed by, I. Tagebuch einer Reise nach Neu-Sud-Wallis von John White Esq. erstem Wundarzt der in Port-Jackson angelegten neuen Kolonie; II. William Bligh’s Bericht von dem Ausruhe an Bord des Schiffes Bounty, und von seiner hierauf folgenden Reise von Tofoa, einer der Freundschaftlichen Inseln, nach der Hollandischen Niederlassung auf der Insel Timor in Ostindien; III. Unternehmungen der Gesellschaft zur Beforderung der Entdeckungen im Inneren von Afrika; IV. Robert Norris Reise nach dem Hoflager des Konigs von Dahomey Bossa Dhabi, im Jahre 1772. The frontispiece map illustrates Bligh’s Narrative, with three smaller insets. The larger map illustrates the African travels with inset of Dahomey, and the four plates are of Australian wildlife illustrating White’s Journal. This translation of White’s Journal, the first edition in German, is not in Ferguson (but see Addenda, F. 122aa for a similar, but not identical edition). Bligh’s Narrative is Ferguson 102 (a skeletal and inadequate entry only) and is also possibly the first edition in German of Bligh’s account of the mutiny of the Bounty, however there was another German translation published at Leipzig in the same year in volumes 5-6 of Neue Beytrage zur Volker- und Landerkunde; priority has not been established as far as we know. See Du Rietz’s catalogue of the Kroepelien collection, Oslo, 1969, page LXIII, note to 772 and the full entry for the Magazin at page 254. Ferguson’s entry refers to the copy in the Kroepelien collection only, and in his collected Addenda it is described (102aa) rather more fully, including two further copies, one in the Ferguson Collection (which is in the National Library of Australia) and another, also in the NLA. That copy is stated to be a ‘reprint from’ volume 9 of the Magazin. We are not familiar with any reprints of the Australian and Pacific segments of the Magazin, and, as per this entry, Bligh’s Narrative is in volume 5 of the Berlin edition of the Magazin, even though it is in volume 9 of the Vienna edition of the Magazin (1792). See also Ferguson 130 and 145 for other similar, but not identical editions. We are indebted to and thank John Fish for assistance in deciphering some of the intricacies of this publication. #67131 A$750.00

MISSIONARY TRAVELS AND RESEARCHES IN SOUTH AFRICA; Including a Sketch of Sixteen Years’ Residence in the Interior of Africa, and a Journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Loanda on the West Coast; thence across the Continent, down the River Zambesi, to the Eastern Ocean. Thick 8vo, First Edition; pp. [ii](blank), x, [1]-[688](last colophon only); folding coloured litho. frontispiece, coloured litho. plate facing page 66, & coloured litho. plate facing page 225, all lithographed by Day & Son; engraved portrait of Livingstone facing page [1]; 20 full-page wood-engraved tipped-in plates & 1 folding engraved geological section; 20 wood-engravings in text (1 full-page); 2 folding maps at end; near-contemporary half calf, spine fully gilt, with marbled sides & edges; (some minor foxing & soiling of plates; the larger map worn at folds and neatly laid down); a very good copy; very scarce. London; John Murray; 1857. ***This is, we believe, the Second Issue of the First Edition (Bradlow variant 2), and the following points are noted — 1. The three lithographs are all lithographed by Day & Son, with the imprints “T. Picken, Lith.” at lower left, “Day & Son, Lithrs. to the Queen” at lower right, and the imprint “Published by John Murray, Albemarle St. May 1857” in one line, lower centre. (a) The folding col. frontis. is titled, in one line: “THE VICTORIA FALLS OF THE LEEAMBYE OR ZAMBESI RIVER CALLED BY THE NATIVES MOSIOATUNYA, (SMOKE SOUNDING.)” The vegetation in the foreground is fairly profuse, with many large and prominent trees, a dozen or more projecting above the bank of the river; there is no antelope in the foreground; three natives are shown on the bank in the lower right-hand corner, one standing and resting the butt of his spear on the ground, the other two in reclining position; altogether the vegetation in the foreground is more vigorous-looking and more sharply defined; the three small islands and the boat to the left of the larger island in the middle of the river are indistinct; the rock faces of the gorge opposite to the falls are very distinct and well-defined. (b) The full-page col. litho plate facing page 66 is titled, in two lines: “LAKE NGAMI: DISCOVERED BY OSWELL, MURRAY & LIVINGSTONE. | From a Drawing made on the spot 1850, by the late Alfred Ryder, Esq.” The figure of Mrs. Livingstone is more in the foreground with an infant in her lap and the two older children are standing by the shore of the lake; in front of Mrs. Livingstone a native is busy at the fire; behind her is Dr. Livingstone, and immediately behind him is another native, with further back three oxen, two natives and a covered wagon of different shape; the middle distance and distant landscape are unobscured. (c) The litho. plate facing page 225 is titled “BECHUANA REED DANCE, BY MOONLIGHT.” at centre below the imprint, with no attribution for the original sketch. It is a well-executed TINTED lithograph, with the tops of the native huts nipple-shaped and other minor changes of design. 2. In other respects this copy is the same as the first issue; the inserted advertisements, probably originally present; having been discarded when bound. 3. In all subsequent issues the coloured lithographs are replaced by uncoloured wood engravings. Copies of either of the first two issues are very scarce. #42164 A$1500.00


66 [Haweis, Thomas; Editor]. A MISSIONARY VOYAGE TO THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN, performed in the Years 1796, 1797, 1798, in the Ship Duff, commanded by Captain James Wilson. Compiled from Journals of the Officers and the Missionaries; and illustrated with Maps, Charts, and Views, drawn by Mr. William Wilson, and engraved by the most eminent Artists. With a Preliminary Discourse on the Geography and History of the South Sea Islands; and an Appendix, including Details never before published, of the Natural and Civil State of Otaheite; by a Committee appointed for the Purpose by the Directors of the Missionary Society. Published for the Benefit of the Society. London: Printed by S. Gosnell, for T. Chapman, No. 151, Fleet Street. 1799. Med. 4to, Best Issue of First Edition, pp. [xii], c, 420, [12](Subscribers’ Names); 7 maps & charts (5 folding), 6 plates, appendix (on Otaheitian government, society, inhabitants, deities, customs, natural history, etc,); half navy blue morocco, with moire cloth sides (small trifling mark on front cover; slight scuffing of spine); a fine, clean copy, entirely uncut, with the original paper title-label preserved on inside front board; scarce in such condition. London; Printed by S. Gosnell, for T. Chapman; 1799. ***Ferguson 301; Hill 2, 1894; . The first and preferred of two closely similar editions bearing the same date, this being of slightly larger format and printed on better quality paper. Another edition bearing the imprint “Printed for T. Chapman ... by T. Gillet” and with a completely different set of subscriber’s names, was issued almost simultaneously (see Ferguson 302). The purpose of employing two printers appears to have been to ensure the speedy production of sufficient copies to meet the demand. This important work is the account of the first English missionary enterprise in the South Seas. The hostility of the natives at Tahiti and Tonga caused many of the missionaries to seek refuge at Sydney. Some of them settled in Australia “and founded families important in Australian history”. William Wilson was Chief Mate on the voyage. Apart from its missionary interest the work contains much valuable information on Tahiti, Fiji and the Marquesas. The Duff Group in the Santa Cruz islands was newly discovered on this voyage. #2293 A$2450.00
