Acosta, Jose de. Grimeston, Edward, trans. Markham, Clements R., ed.
The Natural and Moral History of the Indies, by Father Joseph de Acosta. Reprinted from the English Translated Edition of Edward Grimston, 1604 [with] Map of Peru [Three Volumes].
Publisher: London: Printed for the Hakluyt Society, 1880 (1879)..
xlv, 295 pp.; xiii, 296-551 pp. 8vo. Original blue cloth stamped in blind, gilt vignette of ship on front boards, spines ruled in blind, gilt titles, yellow endpapers. First edition. Hakluyt Society, First series: Nos. 60, 61a and 61b. Spain & Spanish America I: 6. See Church 328n. Concerned chiefly with Mexico and Peru. The Map of Peru is bound separately with the half title: "Map of Peru to illustrate the Travels of Cues de Leon, in 1532-50; The royal commentaries of Garcilasso de la Vega (1690); and the Natural and moral history of the Indies, by Father Joseph de Acosta (1608)" which are nos. 33, 41, 45, 60, and 61 of the society's publications. "Father Acosta, a native of Medina del Campo, entered the Society of Jesus at the age of fourteen, and in 1571 when thirty-one years old, became the deputy provincial of Peru. He died at Salamanca in 1600, having passed the greater part of the intervening years in America. His work has been justly esteemed for its intrinsic merit, indubitable evidence of which is found in the fact that it has been translated into almost every language of Europe having a literature. Books V., VI., and VII. pp. 327 to 590, are entirely devoted to a relation of the history, customs and warres of the Indians. This portion of the work is replete with the most curious details of the Aborigines, before their peculiar customs had become modified by contact with the whites. Although he was one of the earliest, yet he was one of the most curious and accurate observers of the customs and peculiarities of the Aborigines who have attempted to describe them. Scarcely a trait which has excited the attention of the historian or the narrator in the three centuries which have elapsed, has escaped his observation and description, " (Field, Indian Bibliography, p.2). Dampstain and discoloration to spine of volume I, spine with tears at the head; volume II spine sunned and headband with small chips; light soiling to boards on map volume, tiny tear at one crease on map; all volumes hinges split but solid, with small institutional bookplate to front pastedowns, owner's nautical bookplate opposite, otherwise contents unopened (uncut), overall good.

Benzoni, Girolamo. Smyth, W. H. (William Henry), ed.
History of the New World, by Girolamo Benzoni, of Milan. Shewing his Travels in America, from A.D. 1541 to 1556: with some Particulars of the Island of Canary. now first translated and edited by Rear-Admiral W.H. Smyth.
Publisher: London: Printed for the Hakluyt Society, 1857..
4, iv, 280 pp. 8vo. Cloth. First edition. Illus. with 18 b/w drawings. Hakluyt Society, First series: No. 21. Sabin 4805. Field 118. Spain & Spanish America II: 51. Text originally published at Venice, 1572. The supplementary material consists of the 1857 annual report. "The narrative of Giralamo Benzoni is one of the most interesting of all the early travellers in America, not only for the minute details of the life and habits of the Aborigines more than three centuries ago, but for the evident fidelity to truth, and the consequent reliance we may feel that we are viewing the common life of the natives before what we term civilization had corrupted them. Eighteen facsimiles of the curious woodcuts of the period are inserted in the text, most of which are illustrative of some phases in the customs of the Indians. They were reproduced by De Bry. Born at Milan in 1519, he abandoned his country to seek for adventures in the New World at the age of twenty-two. After fourteen years of travels he returned in 1556 and published his Historia del Mondo, which has been esteemed a great success, and translated into several languages, " (Field, Indian Bibliography, p. 29). Nick to spine just above series title otherwise a very good unopened (uncut) copy, one leaf town at lower margin.

'In 1736 Gerhard Müller… uncovered in Yakutsk reports briefly describing a voyage in 1648 from the Arctic river, Kolyma, around a great rocky promontory to a point south of the Pacific river, Anadyr'. The reports were those of Semen Dezhnev, leader of the expedition and one of its 26 survivors. ...Müller published an account of the voyage in 1758 [which]… answered the long-standing question of the geographical relation between Asia and America, and became a factor in the sending to the north Pacific of Captain Cook to look for a northwest or northeast passage between Europe and the Pacific. …[this is] a drawing together and critical examination of the relevant documents and studies made of the voyage into a single and hopefully, balanced treatment of it and its participants…' Dj; near fine. stock#23365.

Galvano, Antonio. Hakluyt, Richard. Bethune, C. R. Drinkwater (Vice-Admiral).
The Discoveries of the World, from their First Original unto the Year of Our Lord 1555, by Antonio Galvano, governor of Ternate. Corrected, Quoted and Published in England, by Richard Hakluyt (1601).
Publisher: London: Printed for the Hakluyt Society, 1862..
viii, 242 pp. 8vo. Cloth. First edition. Hakluyt Society, First series: No. 30. Sabin 26470. Spain & Spanish America I: 273. See Church 323. With reproduction of the original title-pages. Portuguese edition [Lisboa] 1563; English translation, London, 1601. "This edition includes the Portuguese text. Antonio Galvano was born at Lisbon in 1503. He embarked for India in 1527, where he soon distinguished himself. He was selected by the Viceroy Don Nunho da Cunha to reduce and govern the Moluccas. After a time he succeeded, as much by valor as by judicious conduct, in bringing these islands under Portuguese sway; and by exercising strict justice and kind dealing towards the natives, both rare in those days, he earned the title of 'father of the country.' Galvano was a man of rare talent, well versed in religious and secular knowledge, and also well instructed in warlike arts, both military and naval. Faria y Sousa sums up his high qualities in these words: 'His fame will never perish so long as the world endures; for neither weak kings, nor wicked ministers, nor blind fortune, nor ages of ignorance, can damage a reputation so justly merited', ” (Sabin). Spine darkened otherwise a very good copy, head of spine lightly worn, owner's nautical bookplate on free front endpaper.
