Hakluyt, Richard Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, made by Sea or overland, to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the Earth, at any time within the compasse of these 1600 Yeres
London George Bishop, Ralph Newberie, and Robert Barker 1599 First Edition Thus Three-Quarter Leather Very Good Folios
3 volumes plus Supplement volume. 1599, 1600, 1812. Second revised edition. Folios, 19thC half red morocco, marbled boards. Small folios, vol. 1 lacks a preliminary leaf, and the cancel title leaf is trimmed at fore and top edge (affecting the decorative woodcut border). The other volumes are complete but irregularly paginated. Ex libris Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow, and Gordon Abbott. Barlow's ability to earn large fees was phenomenal. In one instance he received $25,000 for half an hour's work, which was willingly paid, owing to the magnitude of the interests involved and his great tact in effecting an amicable adjustment. His library of early American history was one of the most extensive in existence. Gordon Abbott, with his Spenceley of Boston bookplate, was banker and long-time Director of General Electric Corp. Vol. 3 bears the vintage signature of Benjamin Portlock (who may have been the private secretary to the Duke of Ormonde, Lt. Gen. of Ireland: Benjamin arguably was a relative of Capt. Nathaniel Portlock, who explored the NW coast of the Americas). Also ex libris Gordon Abbott, and George Stepney Esq (one of the Councill of Trade). This edition has been greatly enlarged since the first version of 1589. This has the second issue title-page with mention of the Voyage to Cadiz removed. That section was possibly suppressed by order of Queen Elizabeth relative to the Earl of Essex. Armstrong estimates that not more than one in four copies with the 'Voyage to Cadiz' escaped the censor. Most existing copies have a reprint or facsimile of the text. This copy has State 1a of the original leaves, which are page numbered 607-619, with the chain lines spaced 20-25mm. "The third volume is entirely devoted to voyages to America. The importance to both English and American history of Richard Hakluyt's researches needs hardly to be recounted. No work did more to arouse the English to the awareness of their own achievements, and propel them to further exploration and the colonization of North America --H.P. Kraus, describing the Harrison D. Horblit copy." {ESTC 12626; Church 322; Sabin 29597-8; Pforzheimer, 443; see Howes H26]. The map [not in this copy] is often lacking from the book and may quite possibly not have been issued with it. The Supplementary 4th volume, A SELECTION OF CURIOUS, RARE, AND EARLY VOYAGES ... CHIEFLY PUBLISHED BY HAKLUYT... BUT NOT INCLUDED IN HIS CELEBRATED COMPILATION .... is a separate printing of the 14 similar voyages found in vols. 4 & 5 of the publisher, R. H. Evans's 1809-1812 edition of Hakluyt: 807pp. [ Howes H27]. 005899
