Añadir al carritoThird edition. Third edition. [10], 94pp. Errors in pagination. 8vo. The rare third edition, following the unobtainable Philadelphia 1699 edition and the very rare London edition of 1700, of this important Florida captivity narrative. "The author was a Quaker merchant who, with his wife and young son, together with Robert Barrow…, a Quaker missionary, and others aboard the ship Reformation, were cast ashore in August, 1696, during a trip from Port Royal to Philadelphia. The party was seized by Indians near Jupiter Island, robbed of their possessions, but allowed to make their way on foot to St. Augustine, 200 miles distant. They were befriended by the Spaniards who sent them on their way to Charleston" (Servies). The journal ends with the death of Robert Barrow after the group's arrival at Philadelphia. "This book has more literary merit than most of the travel accounts of the period.The author gives a clear account of the Indians of Florida and their customs, describes the city of St. Augustine and its fortifications, and gives one of the best accounts we have of the coast from St. Augustine to Charleston" (Clark). Of the Philadelphia 1699 edition of Dickenson's narrative, Field says: "it is certainly one of the rarest gems of the book collector. A perfect copy would be eagerly seized by half a score of this class at any price.The second edition is almost equally rare, at least I have never seen, or indeed known of a copy." Eberstadt, writing in 1953 describing an example of the present edition notes: "This third edition is the earliest one can reasonably hope to acquire" (Eberstadt 131:273).

Añadir al carritoSeventh Edition. 172 x 100 mm. (6 3/4 x 4"). 136 pp. Tasteful deep blue morocco by Bayntun (stamp-signed on front turn-in), the covers double ruled in gilt, the spine with raised bands, gilt in double-ruled compartments with annular cornerpieces and gilt lettering, wide leather turn-ins with fleuron cornerpieces, all edges gilt.… Verso of title page with early ink owner's inscription of Mary Langstaff; ink marginalia to the final page. Sabin, 200015; Ayer, 70. Very probably washed, but still quite fresh. A lovely copy inside and out. This is a finely bound copy of one of Colonial America's most important captivity narratives. Jonathan Dickenson (also Dickinson, 1663-1722), was an Anglo-American Quaker merchant who eventually became mayor of Philadelphia. On his first voyage to Philadelphia from his prior home of Jamaica, he and his party were shipwrecked off the coast of Florida, on what is now Jupiter Island. The group, which included his family, the Quaker missionary Robert Barrow, and a group of enslaved Africans, was taken captive by the local Jobé (or Jaega) people following the wreck. Also known as "Jonathan Dickinson's Journal," this is his firsthand account of this captivity and the party's subsequent harrowing journey north to St. Augustine. Originally published in 1699, "God's Protecting Providence" was a bestseller in its own time, used by its Quaker publishers as a conversion tool, and eagerly received by British audiences as a sensational account of the apparent savagery of the native Floridians. Historian Jason Daniels notes that this sensationalism was clearly an intentional choice on the part of the publishers, as demonstrated by the differences in language between the printed version of the treatment received by the party and the (kinder) portrayal in the original manuscript. Despite its biases, this text is incredibly valuable to historians, particularly because it is a rare record of direct interactions between Europeans and the indigenous population of this area. It provides exceptional insights into the motivations and practical actions of these native groups, as they adjusted to a swiftly changing world and managed contact with multiple European groups entering their territory. This copy is housed in a very pleasant Bayntun binding, and compares quite favorably with other copies of this important work to come to market in recent years.

Seve…nth edition. 12mo. Half burgundy morocco (rebacked) over marbled boards, gilt titles to spine. xiv, 15-136pp. London, James Phillips, A popular captivity narrative detailing a shipwreck in the gulf of Florida, followed by the various hardships of the survivors at the hands of the Jobe and other Native Tribes. The first edition was printed in Philadelphia in 1699, and the work ran through sixteen editions in English, as well as additional translations into Dutch and German. Jonathan Dickinson was a Jamaica planter and the son of a wealthy English Quaker. He was relocating his household to Philadelphia when on the 24th September 1696 a storm hit the barkentine Reformation and Dickinson's family along with their ten enslaved captives, were cast ashore on Jupiter Island. There followed a trying journey to St Augustine with much suffering and loss of life. Dickinson spares no harrowing detail, and his account paints a stark picture of the interactions between the Native people of Florida, and British and Spanish colonisers at the turn of the eighteenth century. ESTC, T95562; Sabin, 20015.
