London, 1849. Two volumes. xiii,[3],432; ix,[1],415pp., including in-text illustrations. Frontispiece and half title in each volume. Original blue cloth, stamped in blind, spines gilt, expertly recased, new endpapers. Bindings slightly cocked. Internally clean and bright. Very good. The Collingwood was the first British ship-of- the-line to enter the Pacific via Cape Horn since Lord Anson in 1741. Walpole describes in charming detail the people and things he saw at Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Juan Fernandez Island, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Mexico, Peru, California, Hawaii, and the Samoa Islands. The ship arrived at Monterey a few days after the American flag was raised there by John Drake Sloat. The section on California contains a description of Monterey and the arrival of Fremont, and comments on the dress and manner of the locals. The earlier sections, on South America, are also quite rich in detail on local life and culture. HILL 1815. BORBA DE MORAES, p.933. FORBES 1757. HOWES W62. O'REILLY… Read More

London: Richard Bentley, 1849. First edition. Two volumes, 8vo. xv, 432; x, 415 pp. Original blue cloth. A bright copy, about fine, scarce in this condition. Walpole visited Rio de Janeiro, Tahiti and the Society Islands, Mexico, California, Hawaii, and Samoa. The 80 pages devoted to his visit to Hawaii are (as Forbes says twice) a lively account, and well-written. Hill 1815; Forbes 1757.
