B. R.' gilt-stamped to foot of spine (the spine-lettering attributes authorship of the work to Bustamante only, with Malaspina's name omitted). Acquisition: Hordern House, Sydney, 1999. Ferguson 12206; Hill (1974) pp. 190-1; Howes M235. Rare first edition of the official account of 'Spain's greatest scientific voyage of exploration to the South Seas in the eighteenth century' (Hill), originally suppressed through court intrigue. A second edition followed later the same year. Ferguson states incorrectly that the Diario del viage ... printed at Montevideo in 1849 is the true first edition of this work; it is in fact a different account, by expedition member Francisco Javier de Viana. The different collations provided by Ferguson for the first and second editions also appear to be erroneous; the second edition can be distinguished by the statement 'segunda edicion' on the title-page, and is reputedly printed on inferior paper. Malaspina and Bustamante explored and mapped much of the west coast of the Americas including California, as well as visiting Australia and New Zealand.

Acquisition: D. A. Horn, Adelaide, 1998. Hill (1974) p. 204; Howes M818; Sabin 50778. Benjamin Morrell (1795-1838 or 1839) was an American sea captain and explorer. His account of his four voyages was actually ghost-written by the writer Samuel Woodworth. In his first voyage to the southern seas in the Wasp he claims to have reached Bouvet Island and the Kerguelen Islands and then south of the Sandwich Islands to 70 degrees latitude in the Antarctic Circle but this account and some of his subsequent voyages to Africa and the Pacific Ocean have proved later highly dubious and plagiarised from other voyages by other explorers. Edgar Allan Poe used the cannibals episode as a source for his novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838).

Lutheran Manuscript. An unusual German manuscript, circa 1740, mounted engraved frontispiece after J. C. Scherer, ownership emblem of Iohannes Rupp dated 1740, 'dedication' leaf with inscription of the manuscript's scribe F.D. Schneider, bookseller or scribe of Leipzig (and written by him at Frankfurt-am-Main), both preliminary leaves within ornamental watercolour borders, the main text following comprising 50 unnumbered leaves with manuscript quotations in brown and red ink and large central pen and brown ink geometric designs, each page with ruled ink border, the whole text written calligraphically in German gothic script, with flourishes, quotation sources identified in brown, blue or green ink, two additional leaves following with geometric design sketches and five further leaves with contemporary engraved portrait of Martin Luther with red ink caption beneath in the same calligraphic hand, several further blanks including some later crude watermark designs in pencil, versos blank throughout, some spotting and soiling throughout, later pencil inscription to final blank recto: 'Wohlgeborenen Herrn Lessing Directeur des grossagrzoglichen Kunstgalleri in Karlsruhe die 14 August 1873', armorial bookplate of monogramme 'M' surmounted by a baron's coronet, contemporary blind-stamped vellum, stained red and now partly faded, slightly rubbed and soiled, 4to (24.5 x 20 cm)Qty: (1)NOTESA curious and intriguing manuscript. The four-line quotations at the head and foot of each page with a geometric design are taken from several sources but predominately from Benjamin Schmolck's Heilige Flammen der himmlisch-gesinnten Seele, a collection of hymns and spiritual songs which appeared in some 13 editions during Schmolck's lifetime. Benjamin Schmolck (1672-1737) was a German Lutheran writer of hymns. The page references given in the manuscript tally with a 1726 edition published in Leipzig by Lankisch but may well tally with other identical editions of the same period. The later pencil inscription at the back of the manuscript would seem to indicate this later belonged to Karl Friedrich Lessing (1808-1880), a German historical and landscape painter who was appointed director of the gallery at Karlsruhe in 1856.
