Essery (Rev. William Alfred, c. 1831-1904). A Yachting Cruise Around the World on the SS Ceylon 1881-1882, by the Rev. W.A. Essery, of London, 1885, an unpublished manuscript of 280 pages, written in a very neat hand on numbered rectos of ruled leaves, plus 13 pages of preliminaries including title, dedication, preface and contents on unnumbered ruled leaves loosely inserted at front, contemporary half calf over cloth, worn and backstrip deficient, 4to (23 x 19 cm), together with a cabinet card portrait of Essory inscribed by him to verso for Miss [Anne H.] Sutton [of New York, USA], the book's dedicatee, dated October 1884, plus 2 autograph letters signed from Essery to Miss Sutton, Instow, North Devon, 23 July 1894 & 147 Peckham Rye, London SE, 20 September 1894, each 4 pages, written in a very neat hand, 8vo, plus an octavo sheet with a partial brief contents list of Chapters 1-16QTY: (5)NOTE:An unpublished manuscript account of one of the earliest commercial pleasure cruises and the first commercial cruise around the world. The SS Ceylon was a single-screw, iron-hulled auxiliary steamer built by P&O in 1858 for use on the regular service from Southampton to Malta and Alexandria. With accommodation for 130 first and 30 second-class passengers it was bought by the fledgling Inter-Oceanic Yachting Company Ltd. The Company belonged to friends and business partners James Culliford and John Lockie Clarke who had established a steamer brokerage, Culliford & Clarke in London in 1875. No doubt partly inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days (1872) Clarke dreamt of going into leisure cruising and with some marketing fanfare they planned this ten-month voyage which was to take place from late October 1881 to late August 1882, covering some 37,500 nautical miles and stopping at various exotic and alluring places on the way.While this account inevitably describes a lot of day-to-day life on board ship Essery was one of the few people that completed the whole journey and gives some interesting accounts of places visited. The account is divided into the following chapters:Chapter I. First days at sea – Bordeaux; II. Beautiful Lisbon and Belem; III. Jebel-al-Tarik; IV. Coasting in the Mediterranean; V. Crowded Naples & empty Pompeii; VI. Rounding Sicily to Valetta; VII. From the Piraeus to the Golden Horn; VIII. Smyrna city, castle & missions; IX. The Island of Roses & the city of Alexander; X. Onward to India; XI. Seeing Bombay; XII. Ceylon’s isle; XIII. Twenty-four hours in Madras; XIV. British India’s capital; XV. In the straits of Malacca; XVI. Sailing up China Sea; XVII. Hong Kong & Sunday in Canton; XVIII. Canton, doing the sights; XIX. From Hong Kong to Nagasaki; XX. Through five Nadas – Kioto; XXI. Missions in Kioto & Osaka – Yokohama; XXII. Honolulu & Hilo; XXIII. Going to San Francisco and the equator; XXIV. On the South Pacific; XXV. Through Magellan Straits to Monte Video; XXVI. A trio of South Atlantic Ports; XXVII. Across the tropics, homeward.We have located one published account of part of the cruise by William Monroe (1823-1896), A Two Months’ Cruise in the Mediterranean in the Steam-Yacht ‘Ceylon’ (London: Hurst & Blackett, 1884) but we have located no published work of the whole voyage which was completed by fewer than 40 people including Essery and his American travelling friend to whom the manuscript is dedicated, Miss Anne H. Sutton. This manuscript is therefore a potentially unique and historically important account of this first commercial world cruise.Essery’s published works were otherwise entirely of a religious nature and include Hymns for Sunrise Hours and others (1892) and The Ascending Cross (1905).
