		Hackett, Maria. My Travels. A Family Story. Published by family, Albany NY 1912. Large 12mo, vii + 63pp + frontispiece. 1/4 cloth and hard board covers, vgc. A wonderful account, Maria Hackett's observations on Tasmania, where she lived from 1828-1841. She emigrated from Cork, Ireland with her husband, a distiller by trade. Fascinating account of life at the time "hired labor was very scarce...we engaged a Mohammedan, who deserted a vessel from Calcutta, who proved himself far superior to the 'help' of the present day"... "I made great preparations for entertaining... the famous New Zealand chief, Kanawanga Tapita". Many amusing portraits of people they came to know in Tasmania, including Sir John & Lady Franklin. She states her family distilling business was greatly harmed by requirements imposed by Great Britain.

		Rogers, Woodes. A Cruising Voyage Round the World; First to the South Seas, thence to the East-Indies... Begun in 1708, and finish'd in 1711. Containing a journal of all the remarkable transactions; particularly, of the taking of Puna and Guiaquil, of the Acapulco ship, and other prizes; an account of Alexander Selkirk's living alone four years and four months in an island; and a brief description of several countries in our course noted for trade, especially in the South-Sea... Printed for Bell & Lintot, London 1718, 2nd edition corrected. 8vo, xix, (1), 428pp, 57 pp appendix, 7pp index. Fine double hemisphere folding map of the world by Moll showing California as an island. 5 folding maps (in total) by Herman Moll, 2 fold. plates. Rebound in marine blue calf, highly gilt and red labels on spine. Mild waterstain throughout early and late pages, lib. stamp on title. "This work may be considered as a buccaneering classic. With William Dampier as pilot, Captain Woodes Rogers' privateering expedition set sail from Bristol. After sailing down the coast of Brazil and rounding Cape Horn, he made for the deserted island of Juan Fernandez, due to a severe storm. There, Rogers rescued the celebrated Alexander Selkirk, a Scot who had been marooned many years before by Captain Stradling during Dampier's earlier voyage, and who has been immortalized as the prototype for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. An account of his true adventures is given. The expedition then cruised the coast of Peru, taking various prizes, reached California, and crossed the Pacific to Asia. The high point of this circumnavigation was the capture of the Manila galleon, in 1709, at Puerto Seguro." Hill. p258.

		8vo, xl, 252pp, frontis portrait, 2 folding maps, double page plate of native ships. Complete with half-title. Moderate browning, but a very good copy, in contemporary sheep with leather label, rubbed but otherwise in very good unrestored condition. First edition, scarce; there was a second edition in 1805 which is more common. An interesting narrative of shipwreck and captivity among the Malays in the Celebes, with eventual escape to Macassar. Woodard, an American, was a mate on the American ship "Enterprise", which set sail from Boston in 1791; on its way to Manila it foundered in the Straits of Malacca. Returning to Boston by way of London in 1796, Woodard communicated his narrative to William Vaughan, brother of Benjamin Vaughan, a civic improver and philanthropist dedicated to the protection of seamen. Vaughan undertook to compile and publish the present volume in 1804, in conjunction with renewed interest in a project for an institution dedicated to the preservation of ships and lives at sea. In addition to the detailed and interesting narrative of Woodard's shipwreck, captivity and escape, Vaughan has included a substantial appendix of shipwreck narratives, which became a valuable source for later writers. There are 14 accounts in all, several of which, including a narrative from Kingston, Jamaica, are published here for the first time. Some are taken from newspapers or other ephemeral sources. Others, such as the narrative of Captain Bligh, are excerpted from standard printed books. The work concludes with an original extensive bibliography of shipwreck literature (pp 237-252). Huntress 144. Ferguson 399. DNB for William Vaughan.
