THOMAS, Pascoe
A True and Impartial Journal of a Voyage to the South-Seas...
S. Birt… and most other booksellers in Great-Britain London, 1745. Octavo; a few spots but an excellent copy in modern half speckled calf. First edition of this private account of Anson's voyage,.an important alternative account by the 'teacher of mathematicks on board the Centurion', based on his diary kept during the voyage. The appendix contains a table of longitudes and latitudes which, as the lengthy title-page tells us, is based on original observations or '(where those are wanting) from the best printed books and manuscripts taken from the Spaniards in this expedition...'! Other things taken from the Spanish included the treasure of the Nuestra Signora del Buono Carmella, a full account of which also appears in the appendix.
The list of subscribers (accounting for 397 copies) includes a good many fellow voyagers, whose names and professions are duly noted, and demonstrates a singular lack of any noble patronage.
Hill, 1693.
