The inspiration of the sailing ship for the artist, manifest in the great marine paintings of four hundred years, is part of the adventure too. So are the excitement and love inspired by the sailing ship in ordinary people, which created the demand for innumerable simple prints of ships throughout the age of sail. Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square~rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914 ( Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, William Bourne, Sir Francis Drake the Younger, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Gerrit de Veer, Willem Cornelison Schouten, Thomas Heywood, A. Richer, George Lord Anson, Louis de Bougainville, Captain James Cook, Horatio Viscount Nelson, Captain Isaac Hull USN, Richard Dana, Captain H. A. Chippendale USN, Basil Lubbock, Basil Greenhill CBE, Joseph Conrad, etc.), each piece showing an important aspect of the age of sail, the whole combining with over three hundred beautiful illustrations to give a comprehensive picture of the sailing ship experience. Captain Macintyre traces the development of sails, rigging and hull design, from the caravel, carrack and galleon to the clipper epoch, when the sailing ship became a thing of visual and functional perfection; and beyond to the autumn of the age of sail, to the great steel~hulled four and five~masted barques and barquentines, which had a strange beauty of their own.' He tells the story of maritime exploration and the establishment of commerce : a story of friendly or hostile competition among nations sharing the common experience of the struggle against the sea. Adventure, in the ordinary sense of dramatic and exciting episodes, fills the history of sail and has received an extraordinary amount of eyewitness documentation. The selection of contemporary documents in this volume unfolds a stirring tale of storms, shipwrecks and fights, of famous ships and the men who sailed in them. It shows, as nothing else can, what life in sailing ships was really like. It relives great moments of discovery or despair, such as the first rounding of Cape Horn, or the last voyage of Willem Barents in his brave and futile search for the Northeast Passage, ennobled by the courage and dignity of a crew lost among ice and polar bears in the dark, dreaded Arctic winter. It evokes the brutality of life at sea, but also its warmer, more humorous side. After the horrors of Anson's voyage it is a relief to read of Bougainville's reception at Tahiti and the meeting of Cook's sailors with the nymphs of Nootka Sound. The odyssey of the human spirit is ever present in The Adventure of Sail, from the perceptive introduction by the famous modern sailing man and boat designer, Uffa Fox, to the highly.

[Thomas Rodd the younger, London bookseller, to William Upcott of the London Institution.] Autograph Letter Signed ('Thos. Rodd') arranging an evening to view Upcott's 'Literary treasures' with 'Mr Field' [James Thomas Fields?].
Thomas Rodd the younger (1796-1849), London bookseller [William Upcott (1779-1845) of the London Institution, antiquary and autograph collector; James Thomas Fields (1817-1881) of Ticknor and Fields]

Add to basket2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Corner of second leaf cut away on opening of letter, and still adhering to wafer. Folded twice. Addressed to 'W. Upcott, Esq.' Upcott has been 'so kind as to invite Mr Fields and me to spend an evening with you in going over some of your Literary treasures', and Rodd has 'an…indistinct idea of some particular evening being named' by Upcott. In the hope that the present evening was not intended, he asks Upcott to send word of which evening will suit his convenience. In a long postscript Rodd expresses the hope that - should the present evening have been intended for the meeting - Upcott will excuse Rodd's forgetfulness, 'and impute it to the right cause the [having?] of one's thoughts in a Sale-room, added to which I had been travelling all the previous night'. Rodd was highly regarded for his knowledge and fair dealing. He issued several catalogues of Americana. 'Mr Field [sic]' was presumably James Thomas Fields (1817-1881) of the celebrated Boston firm Ticknor and Fields, who started in the trade at the age of fourteen, and whose name was 'Field' until later in life.

Add to basket2pp, 12mo. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Messs. Cadell & Davies'. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to one edge. An interesting document, providing an insight into the world of Georgian publishing. Without preamble or salutation, reads: 'This work, in point of style…, composition, & sentiment everything, in short, in which the writer's merit is concerned, is much below mediocrity. But whether its subject, & the side it takes in party, might not at the present moment gain it some public favour, is what I cannot answer. The author certainly conceives it to be a happy stroke at the times; & he has done all in his power by a full portion of political bigotry to make it suit its purpose. From the slight examination I have given it, it appears to contain nothing new in a historical view. | J. A.' From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

The BM records two examples. The first (BM 1929,0416.14) is almost identical to our copy but with the correct spelling of Independent in the title.
