First Australian edition, first printing, hardcover with dust jacket in archival cover. Angus & Robertson, 1965. Volume is very good - old price erasure front blank, bookseller's stamp front blank, no other interior markings, folds or problems. Shelf wear along bottom edges of boards. Dust jacket is good, not price clipped, moderate wear along creases, to corners and spine, complete. A scarce book especially in the US. Please sees scans of the book you will receive. Notes: This slim volume is underrated. It is a concise account of the players and the action and suggests some interesting ideas. Author provides some evidence that Christian had become mentally unwell. Less credibly she argues Midshipman Edward Young was the underhanded mastermind of the whole affair. However, at least two other authors (far more qualified than I) have written on this topic and found this plausible.

1821, London, first edition in English. Modern fine binding of half leather and marbled boards by Starr Bookworks. An underappreciated volume likely due to this first English translation. The modern translator, Seeber, describes this translation as the "product of a prosaic and incompetent literary hack" (please tell us how you really feel). It also omits about 40% of the original work leaving out daily interactions with Americans, Native Americans, and the most colorful events. Condition is Very Good: modern fine binding is excellent. Interior has scattered foxing and toning, no writing or old ownership marks. Marginal pencil mark on final page. Frontis edge conserved. Paginates: frontis, [2], 102, 5 plates, modern blanks. Six plates total. Other engravings in text. The Mammoth Skeleton plate is a modern copy. The frontis is a fairly spectacular aquatint of New York harbor. Copies with color plates are uncommon. See Howes M757. Please see images of the book you will receive. Feel free to inquire.… Read More

Please see scans of the item you will receive. Note: considering this is the 9th edition you would expect this to be a common title. Apparently not.

1950 Falcon Press Limited Edition. Hardcover lacking the fragile acetate dust jacket. Condition is Very Good: small (2 x3 mm) blemish front cover (see image), pencil note of prior bookseller, no other markings or problems. This edition is notable for the excellent illustrations on fine paper. Publisher states this is limited to 2000 copies but there were no copies with limitation pages. Please see images of the book you will receive. An excellent edition of an excellent book. Recommended. Notes: Defoe was 5 years old (in 1665) when the events he describes took place. This is best viewed as history or historical fiction not straight up primary source material. Of course there is an argument about this so feel free to disagree. First edition was published in 1722 as "Memoirs of the Plague." See Furbank 216.
