From the foreword to the first part of the sale: "The richness of the collection and the fastidiousness with which it has been assembled were both made possible by the quality of the material which became available during the period of the great Britwell, Leconfield and Lothian dispersals. ..Dealing with a comparatively short period of time during which Europeans reached almost every corner of the globe, the collection demonstrates in particular the impact of all this activity on Tudor and early Stuart England. At first it was by means of translations from the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, and secondhand reports, sometimes incredulous; but many of the important English contributions to the subject, which are present here, show how very quickly the commercial and political implications were realised, and how the seizing of the initiative, consolidation, and finally colonization laid the foundation of the greatest empire since classical times. Among the translations from foreign works are the first English editions of Acosta The naturall and morall historie of the East and West Indies, 1604; Anghiera The decades of the newe worlde, 1555; Boemus The fardle of facions, 1555; Casas The Spanish colonie, 1583; Cortes The arte of nauiga-tion, 1584; Curio A notable historie of the Saracens, 1575; Escalante A discourse of the nauigation which the Portugales doe make, 1579; Fernandez de Quiros Terra australis incognita, or a new southerne discoverie, 1617; Galvao The discoveries of the world, 1601; Gonzalez de Mendoza The historie of the great and mightie kingdome of China, 1588 ; Lescarbot Nova Francia, 1609; Linschoten Discours of voyages into ye East & West Indies, [1598]; Lopes & Pigafetta A report of the kingdome of Congo, 1597; and Lopez de Gomara The pleasant historie of the conquest of the VVeast India, [1578]. The original English books of travel include first editions of Bruton Newes from the East-Indies, 1638; Coryate Thomas Coriate traueller for the English vvits, 1616; and Mr Thomas Coriat to his friends in England, 1618; Fletcher Of the Russe commonwealth, 1591; Foxe North-west Fox, 1635; Gilbert A discovrse of a discouerie for a new passage to Cataia, 1576; Hakluyt The principall navigations, 1589; Hamor A trve discourse of the present state of Virginia, 1615; Harcourt A relation of a voyage to Gviana, 1613; Hawkins Observations . . . in his voiage into the South Sea, 1622; James The strange and dangerovs voyage, 1633; Jobson The golden trade, 1623; and Johnson Nova Britannia, 1609. Among the important works on navigation are the first editions of Addison Arithmeticall nauigation, 1625; Barlow Magneticall aduertisements, 1616; Blagrave The mathematical iewel, [1585]; Bourne A booke called the treasure for traueilers, 1578; Cortes Breue compendio de la sphera, Seville, 1551; Cuningham The cosmographicall glasse, 1559; Dee General and rare memorials pertayning to the perfecte arte of navigation, 1577; Fale Horologiographia, [1593]; and Furttenbach Architectura navalis, Ulm, 1629.

SYNOPSIS: Scott is one of the heroes of the twentieth century. What sort of man was he? He has been variously described as a great leader, a pawn in the power game of nations, a bungler who allowed his sentimental aversion to beating and eating dogs to warp his judgement, and a scientist at heart who believed the advancement of knowledge to be the only justification for the expensive polar expeditions he was called upon to undertake. Elspeth Huxley re-examines his life in the light of the diaries and letters of his colleagues, as well as his own writings, to show that all these elements have some basis in his enigmatic, complex character. Commander Scott RN was reluctant to enter the race to the South Pole, in which Amundsen the Norwegian beat him by one month. Given command of his first polar expedition a s young naval officer by Sir Clements Markham--the domineering, blustery President of the Royal Geographical Society==thereafter his destiny was mapped out for him. The expectations of his friends, of his unconventional artist wife, whom he married in middle age, and of his country, convinced him that it was his duty to return to the Antarctic and win for Britain the prize of the South Pole. With him went his friend Edward Wilson, doctor, ornithologist and artist, outstanding among an outstanding group of men for his unselfishness, humour and love of nature. It was said that the Terra Nova carried south the best equipped and best led expedition that ever left British shores. Five of its members reached the Pole, man-hauling their sledges and climbing to over 10,000 feet, but the last three survivors died on the return journey only eleven miles from food and safety. They met their death with a stoical courage which earned them immortality as national heroes. Ironically, their failure to complete their mission won them lasting fame that success would have denied. Elspeth Huxley has written over thirty books, mainly with an African background, the best known of which include White Man's Country: Lord Delamere and the Making of Kenya, Red Strangers, and an autobiographical trilogy--The Flame Trees of Thika, The Mottled Lizard and Love Among Daughters. She has written illustrated biographies of David Livingstone and Florence Nightingale, and her most recent book is Gallipot Eyes: A Wiltshire Diary.. Hard Cover.
