Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. The most important work in the history of British maritime cartography. A Landmark in the Charting of Great Britain. Folio, 18th century mottled half calf over blue-green marbled paper boards, decorative gilt spine, red morocco lettering piece, pp. [iv] + 26. Fine allegorical copperplate title (incorporating a small map of the British Isles), letter press title printed in red & black, 47 copperplate charts & profiles (5 folding, 3 single page, the remainder double page) & one chart in the text (at p18). A couple of the folding maps just torn at fold, some browning & offsetting, text spotted in places, but still a handsome copy. First published in 1693 & reissued many times throughout the eighteenth century, this formidable & costly project, [was] the first systematic survey of British coastal waters (Moreland & Bannister, Antique Maps, 3rd ed p163). (511*322 mm). (Phillips 5199. Moreland & Bannister). In 1667 the Dutch sailed up the Thames & destroyed a great part of the British Navy in the Medway & bombarded Chatham. [and] the Government was shaken. by the realisation that the Dutch new more about the coastline of England than the English themselves, & their confidence was not increased when it was found that John Seller, in producing the first volume of his marine atlas, the English Pilot, in 1671, was still using Dutch plates & often very old ones at that. As now, government was tardy in action & it was not until 1681 that Samuel Pepys, as Secretary of the Navy, instructed Captain Greenville Collins to carry out a survey of British coasts & harbours. In due course, after a seven year survey, Captain Collins issued in 1693 the Great Britain's Coasting Pilot, an outstanding work consisting of 48 charts, the first complete Pilot Book in English of all the coasts of Great Britain & the surrounding islands with special attention, of course, to the ports (Moreland & Bannister). In 1693, he finally published his results in a folio volume of two parts, Great Britain's Coasting Pilot, containing sailing directions, tide tables, coastal views & about forty-nine charts. The charts were not completely accurate, but with all their shortcomings they were an enormous advance on anything before them, & entitle Collins to rank not only with the earliest, but with the best of English hydrographers. The work covered England and Scotland, & though Collins proposed a further study to cover Ireland, the plan came to nothing. Collins recorded that he had spent £40 on instruments, & charged £80 for the 120 manuscript maps he delivered. With his claim for expenses set at £200 per annum, & his wages of £394 10s., he claimed a total of £1914 10s. for his work, which was eventually paid in arrears. The cost was more than three times the original estimate. His cousin, Freeman Collins, printed the Coasting Pilot, which Richard Mount sold. Mount's subsequent firm then went on to publish twenty-one further editions of the pilot throughout the nineteenth century. COLLINS Greenvile Captain (ilustrador). …

(Folio) 550 x 310 mm, Full Contemporary Calf. The First and Finest Maritime Atlas of the British Isles and Ireland Greenville Collins (d. 1694; fl. 1669-1693) served in the Royal Navy with Sir John Narborough in his expedition to southern South America and the Straits of Magellan where he became highly proficient at surveying and chart-making. In the early 1680s, Collins proposed that he undertake a full-scale survey of the British coastal waters. This was a priority because the majority of existing charts were out of date and were based on earlier Dutch surveys. King Charles II was persuaded of the importance of the project and funding was duly promised, and in 1681 Collins was given command of the yacht 'Merlin'and sent to survey the British coastline. The survey took seven years (between 1681 and 1688) and resulted in about 120 manuscript charts, from which were produced forty-nine engraved charts, covering most of the British Isles and Ireland. Throughout the production of the 'Pilot' Collins struggled to get paid and eventually resorted to funding part of the project with his own money. Collins' work represents the first systematic survey of the coast of the British Isles created by an Englishman, as well as being the first marine atlas to be engraved and printed in London. As such it stands as a landmark in British chart-making and publishing. It also broke the reliance and dependence on Dutch maritime surveying. The 'Great Britain's Coasting Pilot' remained in print for one hundred years. This example is unusually clean, with wide margins and bound in contemporary calf. …

Hardcover. Condición: Good. London: Mount and Page, 1785. Verner 20, penultimate edition. Folio (20" x 12 15/16", 509mm x 330mm). [Full collation available.] With 45 engraved plates: an allegorical frontispiece and 44 charts, of which 3 are folding and 38 double-page; as well as an engraved chart to p. 22. Bound in modern paneled morocco. On the spine, six raised bands. Title gilt to red morocco in the second panel. Front hinge split. Signs of damp through the binding, with some concomitant flow of mounting adhesive, visible along the lower edge of the text-block. Spine sun-faded. Folding maps folded inexpertly, resulting in creases and tears at the folds, as well as a little bowing to the front board. Peripheral tanning throughout. Damp-stain, mostly mild, to the edges throughout; moderate to the final four map-sheets. Calligraphic ink ownership of "Captain Tho.s Palmer/ His Majesty's Sloop/ Selby 1799." to the recto of the first binder's blank. Greenville Collins (Greenvill, Greenvile; ca. 1643-ca. 1695) was the first Briton to survey the coasts of Britain, having received royal assent in 1681. At vast expense over 12 years, Collins completed the work in 1693, finally replacing the charts of the Dutch against whom the British had long faught. Although not especially lauded for its accuracy, his Coasting Pilot, including some internal river-systems, was the best account of Britain's waters until the late XVIIIc; the final edition (the twenty-first) was published in 1792. Most editions had 49 or 50 charts (of a total of 58 used, some being replaced), but the collation of the work is not firmly established; long available from the firm of Mount (and later Mount & Page), which held and re-cut as necessary the copper plates, the various charts could presumably be ordered in any combination according to budget or interest (full list of plates available). The 1785 edition is recorded in three institutional libraries on OCLC: the British Library (ESTC T166525, 50 charts), Durham University (SD++ 00744; with 31 charts) and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (V-680, no count). This range, along with Verner's implicit suggestion that all editions from 1723 on are variable ("Book dealers and auction houses usually assume that there is no standard collation for an atlas. In the case of the 1693 edition. it is possible to describe a normal copy with respect to both the text and the sequence of charts"), as well as the absence of empty guards in the present example, suggests that this rare atlas is complete as purchased in the late XVIIIc. Commander Thomas Palmer (d. 1800) received his lieutenant's certificate from the Admiralty in 1789 and served as second lieutenant aboard the 32-gun frigate Niger from 1790. In 1796 he was promoted to Commander and took command of a ship for the first time in May of 1798 aboard the sloop Selby, which was built as a merchantman but purchased into the Navy as a convoy-escort. Although Capt. Palmer's signature is no guarantee that the atlas was used aboard-ship, it does suggest that he used it in the discharge of his duty. Sadly, on the morning of 3 May 1800, Capt. Palmer "shot himself in a fit of insanity." ESTC T166525; Shirley M.COLL-li. Verner, Coolie.

(65V8D) AN EARLY FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE QUEST FOR THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE. A manuscript journal of great interest by the renowned hydrographer, Greenville Collins, recording the details of a seventeenth-century expedition from Great Britain along the northern coast of Russia and through Nova Zembla, in search of an eastward passage to Japan and China. In 1493 to defuse trade disputes Pope Alexander VI split the discovered world in two between Spain and Portugal, leaving France, the Netherlands and England without a sea route to the trading nations of Asia. The desire to establish such a route motivated much of the European exploration of both coasts of North America. When it became apparent that there was no route through the heart of the continent, attention turned to the possibility of a passage through northern waters (but it was not until 1906 that passage from Greenland to Alaska was successfully navigated). At the command of King Charles II, the expedition set out from Deptford 6 May 1676. It consisted of two ships, the Speedwell, with John Wood as its captain and Greenville Collins as its master, and the Prosperous, commanded by Captain William Flawes. As shown by Collins's map, they sailed north toward Greenland, and then east along the ice north of Russia, through the Barents Sea. On 29 June, the Speedwell ran aground and was wrecked during a storm. The crew got safely ashore, but the ship had become separated from the Prosperous in a heavy fog. They were not rescued by the Prosperous until 8 July. Collins's log records the voyage of the Speedwell in great detail, with daily entries giving the location of the ship, wind, and weather conditions, and observations on their surroundings, including the natives, animals, and topography of the Shetland Islands. He provides a detailed map, complete with depth soundings of the passage, and directions for sailing into Brace Sound. He describes magnificent icebergs and ice formations, noting that some were the color blue, as high as the towers of Westminster Abbey, and others shaped like triumphal arches. He mentions the numerous "sea horses" (i.e., walruses) they saw and attempted to kill, and includes a sketch of a female walrus and her calf. Whales were also sighted. Once the Speedwell had run aground, the crew was able to salvage their provisions and weapons, although Captain Wood had lost his journal and notes in the wreck. The crew set up a camp called "Mount Missery," of which Collins drew a double-page topographical view, until the Prosperous came to their rescue. Greenville Collins is best known as a hydrographer in the Royal Navy and the author of Great Britain's Coasting Pilot (1693), the first survey of the country's coast undertaken by a Briton. The three maps that he drew within his journal attest to his talent and ability. The first single-page colored map shows the polar regions on a circular projection stretching from the Button, Hudson, and Baffin Bays in the west around the Arctic Circle to the presumed northern coastline of Russia to 185o east of Greenwich. The other single-page colored map is a detailed chart showing the routes of the Speedwell and Prosperous through the arctic seas north of Lapland to Nova Zembla. The in-text map shows part of the Shetland Islands and Brace Sound, with a cartouche and scale. Manuscript accounts of seventeenth-century voyages of exploration are rare, and the present journal provides a unique opportunity to obtain a firsthand account of a very early attempt at fi.…

Original Wraps. Condición: Very Good. Folio (53 x 36 cm.): letterpress title page containing list of contents, 19 engraved charts, all but one double-page. BINDING/CONDITION: Bound in contemporary marbled paper wrappers; spine worn, one chart with marginal chip. FRENCH EDITION OF COLLINS' LANDMARK PILOT CHARTS, FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1693. Captain Greenville Collins was an officer in the Royal Navy and 'Hydrographer to the King'. Early in his career he participated in an expedition with Sir John Narborough (ca. 1640-1688) to the coasts of South America. He took charge of the frigate Charles between 1676 and 1679 and was afterwards promoted to Commander. In 1681 Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Admiralty, appointed Captain Collins to survey the coasts of the British Isles and supplant the outdated Dutch navigation charts that were still in use. This was the first such survey undertaken of the British coast and it proved a lengthy and expensive exercise which lasted some seven-eight years. After its completion some of London's leading engravers--including J. Harris, F. Lamb and Js. Clark, James Moxon and Herman Moll--were employed to engrave the plates, and in 1693 Great Britain's Coasting Pilot was finally published. According to Tooley, "This work forms a landmark in the charting of Great Britain, being far in advance of any previous effort in this field. It is the first complete Pilot Book in English of the whole of the coasts of Great Britain, including Orkney, Shetland and Scilly Islands, in some ways the equivalent of marine maps of Saxton's land maps." The original edition comprised 48 charts on 45 sheets. Despite its inaccuracies, Collins' work was considered a significant achievement, and during the following century his charts were re-issued in Great Britain over twenty times without revision. They were also popular in Continental Europe and were republished in France and Germany well into the 18th century. The present edition, issued by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, hydrographer to the French king, was issued in Paris in 1757, at the height of the Seven Years War and likely intended to assist the French navy in an invasion of Britain. Bellin copied 19 of the original charts detailing the major ports in the south coast, Bristol, several ports in Wales and Ireland, and approaches to Edinburgh.

In 1676 King Charles II commissioned Captain Greenville Collins to chart the coasts of Great Britain. An officer to the Royal Navy and prominent hydrographer, the atlas Collins produced was the first original sea atlas to be produced by an Englishman. Although not entirely accurate, the charts were an enormous advance on anything before them. Prior to these maps, there was no centralised system for collecting and disseminating maps made by experienced seamen. Collins spent seven years on the survey, the first edition of which was published in 1693.
