1726 1st ed George Shelvocke Voyage Round the World California PIRATES America
George Shelvocke was an early 18th-century English Royal Navy officer known for his book 'A Voyage Round the World' – an account of his privateering in the Americas. In 1719, Shelvocke and fellow captain John Clipperton, set sail on the Speedwell to loot Spanish ships and settlements along the Pacific Coast of America. This book tells of his adventures, shipwrecks, island marooning, and plundering Spanish ships. Many scholars agree that Shelvocke's 'Voyage Round the World' was a "self-justifying" book for years of piracy.
In addition to details of the voyage, Shelvocke discusses his discoveries including native Californian people, natives hunting deer and seal, spear fishermen, and native cattle ranchers. This book includes full-page engravings as well as folding world maps!
According to Cowan,
"Shelvocke has the fullest accounts of California, the natives and other features, of any of the old voyagers."

Along with Juvenal, Persius was one of the greatest 1st century Roman satirists. His works consisted of elements of stoicism and were greatly influenced by Horace and Juvenal, in fact the satires of both Juvenal and Persius are often found published together. In his 'Satires', Persius sought a few major philosophical ideas:
·
important questions to ask the gods
·
the meaning of life
·
the importance of gaining knowledge
·
freedom through Stoicism
·
the proper use of money
This 1507 post-incunable printing of Persius's 'Satyrae' was published in Paris by Jean Barbier and Denis Roce. This edition was edited by Giovanni Britannico, a 15th-century grammarian who is best known for his edition of Persius.
This book is bound with another early Roce printing of Baptista Mantuanus poetry. Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant… Read More

An important, 16th-century medical treatise by Orazio Augenio! 'De Ratione Curandi' includes a wide variety of medical topics but most famously covers the use and benefits of bloodletting. Known as one of the best Italian physicians of the Renaissance, Augenio incorporated his fondness of Galen into his philosophy-based practice – practices that regularly treated the plague and neuropathology.

George Anson was an 18th-century British Navy admiral who is noted for his important world voyage in which he circumnavigated the globe. This voyage, beginning in 1740, was initiated in order to disrupt Spain and their acquisitions from the Pacific – even though the squadron saw certain danger.
"Anson's voyage is remembered as a classic tale of endurance and leadership in the face of fearful disasters" (Rodger, 239)
He saw substantial victory by capturing Spanish ships carrying pieces of eight, silver, and other treasure; thus, allowing Anson to return home a very rich sailor. This voyage took Anson and company into South America and home by way of China – a true world voyage!
Authorship of this work is held with some ambiguity. According to the DNB and Sabin,
"A claim was made that the work was written, not by Mr. Walter, but by Mr. Benjamin Robins. This has never been substantiated except by mere assertion; and… Read More
