Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. "Captains Courageous" illustrated by Isaac Walton Taber (and others), "Bread Upon the Waters" apparently illustrated by William Louis Sonntag, Jr. (illustrator). 1st Edition. Previous owner W.H. Pulsifer of Nonquitt (Massachusetts) evidently instructed the binder to separate from the original issues of the periodical and bind together here the ten chapters (80 pages, and complete thus) of Kipling's "Captains Courageous" as originally published in McClure's Magazine 1896-1897 (profusely illustrated by Isaac Walton Taber), followed by the brief afterward "Mr. Kipling's Truth to Fact in 'Captains Courageous,'" dealing with the question of whether Whittier had done an "injustice to the memory" of Skipper Ireson in his ballad "Skipper Ireson's Ride," which injustice Kipling may have sought to "set right," here. Kipling's 14-page complete short story "Bread Upon the Waters" (evidently illustrated by William Louis Sonntag, Jr.) is also bound in, here, as are "The White Man's Burden" (from February, 1899) and a number of longer pieces by F. Marion Crawford, most notably "Casa Braccio" (with pictures by A. Castaigne) and "A Rose of Yesterday." (The versos of some pages, obviously, contain fragments of other articles -- the beginning of an essay on 'The Holland' -- the first successful diving torpedo boat; the first page only of Joel Chandler Harris "A Run of Luck," etc.), sometimes crossed out in pencil, presumably indicating to binder those complete texts were not wanted.) The whole bound in hardcover boards covered in pebbled cordovan cloth, the spine considerably rubbed but still clearly showing the gilt titles "Captains Courageous / Kipling." Original floral endpapers; no problems with hinges. The first few pages ("The White Man's Burden," "The Feet of the Young Men") show some modest damage near the spine, not impacting any part of "Captains Courageous." Reduced from $980.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Several (illustrator). 2nd Edition. I have had this copy of Captain Cook's "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean" for many years, decades probably, hoping to find the other volume. Time to rethink my strategy and let someone else add this extremely rare volume to their collection. Please find: "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean; Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty, for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere; Performed under the Direction of Captains Cook, Clerke and Gore, in the Years 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780., Compiled from the Various Accounts of That Voyage Hitherto Published. Embellished with Forty Elegant Engravings. In Two Volumes (of which this is Volume I), published by Robert DeSilver of Philadelphia, dated 1888. The book is bound in full leather with a black leather & gilt title panel on the spine. There is a portrait of Captain Cook as the frontispiece. Condition: This book is in good condition. The leather boards are darkened with handling and bumped at the corners and spine tips. The gutter is dry and cracking but not yet separating. Inside, a former owner has left his name and dated on the front endpaper and his name on the next page. Those, however, are the only marks I found in the book. The interior pages are darkened, toned and show some random soiling although the combination of all that does not really affect the legibility of the text. The plate between 128 & 129 is torn and wrinkled; the others are all much better preserved, albeit occasionally, it would seem, slightly faded. There are some pages that are heavily darkened, probably due to a change in the type of paper used but still present and legible. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

In 1895, the British authorities sent the Chitral military expedition to relieve the fort at Chitral, which was under siege after a local coup following the death of the old ruler. An intervening British force of about 400 men was besieged in the fort until it was relieved by two expeditions, a small one from Gilgit and a larger one from Peshawar. The authors of this history were brothers, both acting as correspondents for The Times in when the expedition was dispatched. The record of the book is based on The Gazette of India, The Blue Book on Chitral affairs presented to the Houses of Parliament in England, and correspondence by the authors with The Times itself.
