Description
[TRAVEL & EXPLORATION]. -- HARRIS, John (1667?-1719). Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels. London: Printed for T. Woodward, A. Ward, S. Birt, D. Browne, et al., 1744-1748.
2 volumes, folio (403 x 250 mm). 38 engraved plates, 23 engraved maps (16 folding). (Some minor spotting to a few leaves, a few leaves in vol.I with minor dampstaining to upper corner outer margin.) Contemporary calf (rebacked to style, a few small losses or some minor rubbing to finish).
Second edition, edited by John Campbell. First published in 1705, this edition contains many more plates and maps than the first. "Especially prized for its maps...[the second edition is] particularly valuable [for] the inclusion of a printing of Tasman's original map" of the "Southern Continent" (Hill). The work also includes what is likely the first account of Bering's second expedition, and contains THE FIRST ENGLISH MAP OF NEW HOLLAND, as well as maps of Australia and the Americas. Alden and Landis 744/116; Hill 775; Lada-Mocarski 3; Sabin 30483.
Property from the Collection of Dr. Brant Mittler
