TURNBULL, John
A Voyage Round the World...
Richard Phillips, London, 1805. Three volumes, small octavo; contemporary quarter vellum with red morocco labels, some wear, old library stamps removed but a very nice set. First edition of a significant book, representing the first serious account of commerce and trade originating from New South Wales. It was an influential book in promoting the idea of Australia as a venue for commercial success. A second edition was published eight years later as a single large volume bringing the text up to date.
Turnbull and his partner, envious of the profits being made by American traders, fitted out the Margaret for a speculative trading venture. They arrived in Sydney from the Cape of Good Hope in February 1801, and Turnbull gives a long description of the town, and the trading activities and agricultural prospects of the colony. They made similar stays in Tahiti and Hawaii (where they learned of Kamehameha's planned invasion of Kauai). Turnbull set up a business in Tahiti curing hogs with salt obtained in Hawaii. He discovered three islands in the Tuamotus.
