Leard (John). Leard's Pilot for Jamaica and the Windward Passages, surveyed by order of Vice Admiral Affleck and published by permission of the Right Honourable the Lords of the Admiralty, Mount and Davidson, circa 1793, title on printed label to upper board, title and front pastedown with slightly later manuscript ownership signature of Auguste Booquet Capn. au Long-cours, dated 1827, 14 (of fifteen) uncoloured engraved charts, including five double page and/or folding, slight spotting and water staining throughout, one map with short closed tear, hinges and joints cracked and weak, contemporary marbled boards, with large printed label to upper cover, some soiling and staining, and wear to edges, joints partly cracked, large slim folio (590 x 330 mm) Very rare pilot book. The last copy we can find recorded for sale in an auction was 1937. No institutional copies found, although the Library of Congress holds a pilot of fifteen maps with a different title. Examples of a few of the maps contained in this volume are held by the Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid and the British National Archives but no complete example appears to exist. Admiral Philip Affleck was Rear Admiral of the White and Commander in Chief of his Majesty's naval contingent in Jamaica and Bermuda between 1789 and 1792. During his time in command Affleck undertook a comprehensive marine survey of Jamaica and its surroundings. He was assisted by John Leard and William Buller. Affleck did produce a very rare 115 page nautical guide titled 'Sailing directions for the island of Jamaica and St. Domingue, or Hispaniola, and the windward passages; to be used with the charts and plans that are published from surveys and observations, made by orderof Philip Affleck .... in part of the years 1789, 1790, 1791, and part of 1792 ... prepared with the assistance of Leard in 1792'. Two examples appear to survive: one in the collection of the American Philosophical Society and the other in the National Archives of Australia. This pilot may be part of that larger work. Provenance: French 'Long-Cours' Captain Auguste Booquet belonged to the elite master mariners of the sailing world, who undertook the long course or long haul route around Cape Horn in pursuance of their trade. The title was not introduced until 1825. It is possible that this pilot was acquired by a French man of war during the Napoleonic wars. (1)
