A Voyage to Hudsons-Bay, By The Dobbs Galley and California, in the Years 1746 and 1747, for Discovering a North West Passage; With an accurate Survey of the Coast, and a short Natural History of the Country. Together With A fair View of the Facts and Arguments from which the future of such a Passage is rendered possible. By Henry Ellis, Gent. Agent for the Proprietors in the said Expedition. To which is prefixed, An Historical Account of the Attempts hitherto made for the finding a Passage that Way to the East-Indies. Illustrated with proper Cuts, and a new and correct Chart of Hudson’s-Bay, with the Countries adjacent. London: Printed for H. Whitridge, at the Royal Exchange. MDCC.XLVIII. [1748] with a dedication to His Royal Highness Frederick, Prince of Wales, a Preface (vii - xxii), a List of Subscribers, including Lord Chesterfield and Charles Stanhope, a Table of Contents, and 336 pages of text, with a large fold-out of “A New Chart of the parts where a North West Passage was sought” at the front, four more fold-outs and four engravings, for a total of nine plates altogether. The book is a first edition, with five raised bands, a gilt title and gilt devices on the spine, with contemporary calf, a gilt crest on both covers, marbled endpapers with the bookplate of Ditton Park, and all the edges are marbled. (Ditton Park is in the English county of Buckinghamshire and belonged to the crown in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, way back in the 1500’s.) One fold-out shows Wager Strait as a closed bay and includes the first map reference to Chesterfield Inlet (see Schwartz and Ehrenberg: Mapping of America), and apparently the crew suffered from scurvy, which Ellis attributed to two kegs of brandy obtained for a Christmas celebration. Ellis was later elected to the Royal Society for his scientific research on rust and magnetism; his research turned out to be “more or less ingenious, but wildly erroneous”. (Sabin 22312) Ellis was sent on this voyage to find the Northwest Passage and served as hydrographer, surveyor, and mineralogist on the expedition. Dobbs had been part of earlier attempts to find a Northwest Passage, one under the command of Christopher Middleton, an old Hudson's Bay Company employee, and those attempts failed to find anything. Middleton believed no passage existed, yet Dobbs refused to believe Middleton's report. A second voyage of discovery ensued in 1746, this time backed by Dobbs and his friends and commanded by two bitter enemies of Middleton and the Hudson's Bay Company. Two ships were sent on the expedition: the Dobbs Galley and the California - the title of the book here - and their search of the bays and inlets again found nothing, and according to some, this expedition proved decisively that no such passage from Hudson's Bay existed. Ellis and Dobbs continued to believe firmly in a Northwest Passage, and the controversy between Middleton and Doobs simmered for a few years, but had no definite outcome. The book contains some of the earliest information on customs of the Inuit, and you can see that in the plates and engravings here, but a Northwest Passage was never found. The book is 8vo. and measures 8 3/8 x 5 1/2 in. wide, with modest wear on the spine and corners, the first fold-out at the front has some browning, and the rest of the text and plates are clean, and all the plates and engravings are here. An interesting read about the history of Hudson’s Bay and early Canadian exploration.

Cookery & Domestic.- Cobbe (Frances Power, writer, campaigner for women's rights and anti-vivisectionist, of Hengwrt House, Peniarth, 1822-1904).- Cobbe (Frances, née Conway, 1777-1847, wife of Charles Cobbe, of Newbridge House, co. Dublin, 1781-1857) Receipts [Collection of recipes], manuscript, 150pp. excluding blanks, inscribed: "Thomas Cobbe left me by my dear Mother Feb. 1847... Frances Power Cobbe...", bookplate of Frances Power Cobbe of Hengwrt, inscriptions and bookplate on front free endpaper, slightly browned, original boards, later morocco spine, dulled, sm. 4to, 1806-32.⁂ Recipes including: "Damson Cakes"; "Nectar... Take 30 Oranges & 30 Lemons..."; "Pig Sauce"; "To Pickle Walnuts"; "Cherry Brandy"; "Shrewsbury Cakes"; "Lobster Sauce"; "Lemon Bread Pudding"; "Red Round"; "Receipts purchased of George Power For cleaning Mahogany...."; "To Pollish Tortoise Shell"; "Cement, or Glue to mend China & Glass" etc."Cobbe was a person of considerable energy and enthusiasm with a great enjoyment of life. Her concern for animals caused her to refuse to decorate her hats with feathers, but she had no sympathy for vegetarianism or teetotalism, seeing them as an indication of the diminution of the vitality and animal spirits which had characterized the world of her youth. She always relished social occasions, especially dinner parties, she insisted, because even if the company was lacklustre she could entertain herself with her knife and fork. Cobbe's most important contribution to nineteenth-century feminism lay in her attempts to set out a feminist ethic, developed most extensively in The Duties of Women (1881). One reviewer described her as the person who 'excepting John Stuart Mill, ... has done more than anyone else to give the dignity of principle to the women's movement' (Life of Frances Power Cobbe, Academy, 46, 1894)." - Oxford DNB.
