Solid text block, light wear to cloth, occasional foxing to leaves, lightly toned throughout. Ex-library with usual stamps to title page. (Sabin 64222) With the bookplate of…Charles Fleischmann III affixed to the front free endpaper. A well-presenting example of an incredibly scarce title, with no similar copies to be found on the public market. Commodore David Porter (1790-1843) was an officer in the United States Navy, serving during the First Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, as commander of the USS Essex. Under his leadership, the Essex captured numerous British whaling ships in the Pacific, significantly disrupting British maritime activities. Porter's innovative tactics and bold strategies marked him as a pioneering figure in naval warfare. After the War of 1812, he faced court-martial for overstepping his authority during an unauthorized mission in the West Indies and was convicted. Porter never accepted the verdict and resigned in 1826. Soon after he enlisted with the Mexican Navy as its commander-in-chief from 1826-1829. This copy belonged to Charles Fleischmann III, the great-grandson of the founder of the Fleischmann Yeast Company which opened in 1868 in Cincinnati, Ohio. After promoting the business at the 1876 Centennial Exposition the Fleischmann Yeast Company became the largest producer of yeast in the world. First edition of A Report Of The Trial Of Commodore David Porter as recorded by Robert Beale in 1825. (illustrator).

This copy bears the signature of General Horatio Wright, Chief of Engineers for the U.S. Army, on the title page, dated Oct. 5th, '75." This expedition to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1874 was led by Lieut. Colonel George Armstrong Custer, in charge of the 7th Cavalry. Their mission was to find a suitable location for a fort and investigate the possibility of mining in the region. The claim that gold was found led to a gold rush, which antagonized the Sioux Indians, and eventually led to the Battle of the Little Bighorn in the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877. William Ludlow, the author of this work, was the engineer for the 7th Cavalry. He was accompanied on the expedition by geologist Newton Horace Winchell, who prepared the maps, and naturalist and conservationist George Bird Grinnell. The maps are titled as follows: Map of a Reconnaissance of the Black Hills, July and August 1874, with Troops Under Command of Lt. Col. G.A. Custer, 7th Calvary; Map of the Black Hills from a Reconnaissance by Capt. William Ludlow Corps of Engineers; A Geological Map of the Black Hills, by Professor N. H. Winchell, To Accompany the Report of Capt. William Ludlow, U.S. Engineers. First edition of the Report of a Reconnaissance of the Black Hills of Dakota by William Ludlow, from the library of Gen. Horatio Wright. (illustrator). Signed.

Contemporary calf, gilt; worn; morocco labels; joints cracked but firm; worn. First French translation of the most comprehensive 18th century ac¬count of South America, the result if ten years' travel and observation by a group of leading European scientists. The French academicians La Condamine, Bouguer, and Codin, conceived the idea of a voyage of ex¬ploration to the equinoctial countries of South America in order to de¬termine the shape of the earth by measuring degrees of a meridian near the Equator. A Spanish expedition under the command of the mathema¬tician Jorge Juan and the navigator Antonio de Ulloa set out to collect a great deal of varied information during its course, as a result of which the present work containing its findings became a primary source for the natural history of Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia. The fine series of folding charts represent maps and plans of vast stretch¬es of Latin America, including a large folding map of the eastern Pacific ranging from the coast of Mexico down to southern Chile, views of ma¬jor cities such as Cartagena de las Indias, Portobelo, Quito, Lima, Callao, Valparaíso, Concepción, and of Louisburg in Nova Scotia, pre-Colum¬bian antiquities, illustrations of scientific instruments and a moon-map. The decorative plates of native life and scenes taken from Inca history are engraved by Jacob Folkema, F. Morellon la Care, Duflos, and J. Punt after G. F. L. de Brie and B. Picart. The text includes descriptions of cod-fishing in Louisbourg (pp139-151) and in Newfoundland (pp157-172). The last section constitutes a full report on the astronomical observa¬tions and of land-surveying carried out during the expedition. 4 of the surveying charts are lightly browned, otherwise a very good, fresh set.
