Accounts of these journeys were said to appear in James Capper's Observations on the Passage to India (1783) and Eyles Irwin's Voyage up the Red Sea (1780; 3rd edn, 1787, 2 vols.) but Matcham's precise route is difficult to establish from these sources.” – Oxford DNB. Nelson Matcham (1811-86), grandson of the above George Matcham.

The captain was killed with several crew after his boat leaving the ship overturned in the storm. This manuscript account is of the wreck and the survivors left on the island, awaiting rescue.The Sixth mate Charles William Francken and a party of ten men set out in the ship's cutter, with no navigation instruments and arrived on 13 July at Mauritius to get help. Two ships, HMS Magicienne and HMS Challenger set out immediately, arriving at the wreck site on 20 July. Challenger removed the survivors and landed them at Mauritius."On reaching the deck the scene was horrible to a degree; The reef under her lee, her masts and yards breaking. The sea rushing over her, the dreadful cracks she continually gave... . The sea breaking over us tremendously, it was in this situation when I perceived a very fine young man an assistant Surgeon take his farewell of this world. He left the wreck with the greatest confidence of reaching ye shore being a very good swimmer but alas... the sea was too powerful for him & I... behold him struggling his last." - Edward, of Farnham.

Cotes, 1640; sold not subject to return.*** "Parkinson's second work, which occupied him for many years, was Theatrum botanicum (1640), with more than 1700 pages. This described some 3800 plants and showed his extensive reading of the period's authorities; of particular value was the almost entire incorporation of Caspar Bauhin's Pinax, for its synonyms. Parkinson divided plants into seventeen ‘tribes’, based partly on their medicinal qualities and partly on habitat. William How in 1655 roundly accused him of plagiarizing the work of Matthias L'Obel, but Parkinson had acknowledged his debt to him, and as one historian wrote, 'He has taken very little, for the simple reason that very little was worth taking' (Raven, 268). Certainly John Ray did not despise the work, for he termed it 'the most full and comprehensive book of that subject extant' (Raven, 272), and frequently quoted from it." - Oxford DNB.Provenance: Roger Warner (1913-2008), antiques dealer and collector.

The Order of Alcántara used Cistercian regulations, and the church stamp on the cover suggests that this binding may have been made for the priory of the Order of San Benito de Alcántara. The trees on the binding may represent pear trees, as the Order was founded near a church dedicated to St Julian which had pear trees growing nearby, and was therefore known as San Julián del Pereiro. The printing of the work was shared by those listed and appears with variant title pages. Literature: Adams A1231; Weale-Bohatta 1765 (with Marnef’s device).
