176; [2], 117pp, [1]. Contemporary gilt-tooled tan half-calf, marbled boards. Tear to N1, Vol I, without loss. A late eighteenth-century abridgement of the voyages of Captain William Dampier (1651-1715), including his first circumnavigation, engagements with the buccaneers Bartholomew Sharp and Edmund Cooke - which included a land crossing of the Isthmus of Darien - and the raiding parties led by John Cooke and Edward Davies, and his own command of HMS Roebuck, which took him to the 'Shark Bay' off the Western Australian mainland by the summer of 1699, where he produced the first detailed records of the flora and fauna of that area. Whist the details of this abridged version are clearly extracted from his own more comprehensive accounts, first published in four volumes between 1692 and 1709, the text itself is a poorly rewritten version of the 1776 abridgement (ESTC T113018), which made efforts to put Dampier's various voyages in chronological order. Given the lack of a publisher's imprint on this 1790 edition, this cataloguer suggests it was likely itself - rather fittingly - a piracy. Rare; ESTC locates just two copies worldwide (BL and John Carter Brown); there is also a copy at the NLA. ESTC N65310. Size: 12mo in 4s.

One of the Most Famous of the Buccaneering Voyages. William Dampier, an orphan of Weymouth, England, spent twelve and a half years as a pirate, plundering ships in the West Indies and Central America, and eventually making his way across the Pacific to the Philippines, the East Indies, and Australia. Having set out in 1679, he returned home in 1691 and published his carefully-kept journal in 1697; it proved to be a sensation. Dampier may have been a buccaneer, but he was such an astute observer of people, places, and natural history and his works are often included with the publications of more explicitly scientific expeditions. William Dampier combined a swashbuckling life of adventure with pioneering scientific achievements. In 1676, he started his career as a buccaneer preying on ships on the Spanish Main and struggling through the impenetrable jungle of the Isthmus of Panama in search of gold. He could easily have ended up on the gallows. Poor and obscure yet determined to sail the world to make his fortune, he was to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe three times. Among his many extraordinary achievements, Dampier mapped the winds and the currents of the world s oceans for the first time. He inspired Darwin one hundred and fifty years later with his notes on the wildlife of the Galapagos islands and elsewhere. His portrait in London s National Portrait Gallery shows a lean, strong-featured man with a thoughtful expression, brown shoulder-length hair and a plain coat, holding a book in his hand. He is styled Pirate and Hydrographer but even that tells only part of his story. He was a pioneering navigator, naturalist , travel writer and explorer, as well as hydrographer who was, indeed, quite happy to seek his fortune as a pirate. Preston. It was his descriptions of the aborigines at King Sound which probably inspired Swift's 'Yahoos' in Gulliver's Travels. After years of adventure along the coasts of Spanish America Dampier joined Capt. Swan in the Cygnet in 1685. Swan was also eager to try his hand in the western Pacific, and after taking several small Spanish prizes among the East Indian Islands, they made for the vaguely known coast of New Holland, which was sighted on 4th June, 1688, near the Lacepede Islands. The vessel sailed along the coast to the entrance of King Sound, where she was repaired. Here Dampier made a full survey of the country and noted its inhabitants as the most miserable people in the world. As such, Dampier is regarded as being the first Englishman to set foot on the Australian mainland. This is the corrected 4th edition of Volume I, as issued with the first edition of Volume II.
