(Ellen Bowring-Hanbury) to bookplate.First edition in English of this important account of an early embassy to China, our copy from the library of SirErasmus Gower, commander of the Macartney Embassy, Britain's first and pivotal delegation to the Qing Empire. The author was a Dane in the service of Peter the Great, for whom he embarked on an embassy to Peking in 16925 in quest of further trade agreements, and for whom this journal (first published 1704 in Dutch) was composed. 'Ides'[s] descriptions of the places and people he saw along the way are unusually good, and through them his readers first encountered several tribes in eastern Siberia and Mongolia. He also wrote vivid, detailed descriptions of the Great Wall, of his reception by officials there, of his introduction to Peking, the banquets and entertainments he attended, the imperial palace and the K'ang-hsi emperor himself. Appended to Ides'[s] journal is a brief description of China attributed to a Chinese Christian named Dionysius Kao. Like the Jesuit descriptions it treats each province, including Liaotung, separately before describing in general the people, their customs, their religions, the land, its fruits, neighbouring countries, and recent history. Considerable space is devoted to the history of Christianity in China, and the book ends with an adulatory description of the K'ang-hsi emperor and expressions of optimism regarding his and China's conversion to Christianity' (Lach and Van Kley III/1, p.504). 'The expedition added considerable geographical knowledge to the little that was known about Manchuria and China' (Cox I, p.331) and inspired some of the adventures told by Defoe in the second part of Robinson Crusoe. The present copy was owned and inscribed by SirErasmus Gower (17421814). A Welshman of humble birth, he served the Royal Navy with distinction in the Indian Ocean and Newfoundland before being charged with 'the commission of a lifetime': the command of Britain's first embassy to China, under Lord Macartney in 17924. 'Despite severe illness he carried out his orders with flair and integrity, far from over-awed by his mission' (Bates, p.3). Apart from steering this elaborate fleet through pirates and disease, losing hundreds of men on the voyage, Gower was also entrusted with the embassy's secret offshoot mission to Japan and the Philippines. His journal of the voyage would later supply much of the material for Staunton's celebrated account of the embassy. 'If the mission did not have the success hoped for, it was no fault ofGower's' (ODNB). He may have found some comfort in Ides's account of another intellectually fruitful but ultimately unsuccessful mission in search of better trade relations with China. Unusually our copy is bound with engravings from the Dutch original rather t.

Important Early Overland Travel Account: "No Easy Journey in Those Days" (Cox). First English edition of this key early travel account of China and Russia, written by a Dutch merchant who traveled to China in the service of Peter the Great. The maps, engravings, and text in the book speak to Ides's extremely difficult and arduous overland journey and what he encountered along the way. The engravings include a depiction of Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama (1683-1706), and a folding plate of the Great Wall of China Ides traveled across Siberia and into Peking on behalf of Peter the Great in 1692. The main purpose of the trip was to negotiate commercial agreements with the Chinese on Moscow's behalf. Before the Tartars became rulers of China, it was almost impossible for foreigners to find admittance to the Imperial Court. Kang-hi was desirous of preventing Russian encroachments upon his territories and the Czar was anxious to establish regular commerce with China. The expedition added considerable geographical knowledge to the little that was known about Manchuria and China. The descriptions of the people and places seen are vivid. Cox notes, perhaps an intentional understatement, that "This was no easy journey in those days." Provenance Harriet Latham, her signature. Delightful bookplate of CJ Peacock, which contains the curse Who folds a leafe downe ye divel toaste browne Who makes marke or blotte ye divel roaste hotte Who stealeth thisse booke ye divel shall cooke.

Eberhard Ysbrants Ides (1657-1708) settled in Moscow in 1687 and traveled as the Russian Envoy to Kangxi, the Emperor of China, in 1692, returning in 1694, after extensive travels across the region. He was one of the first Europeans to view and describe the Gobi Desert.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to. [12], 191, 190-210 pp. With an engraved title-page dated 1705 as a frontispiece, engraved (with contemporary hand-colouring in outline) large folding map, and 30 plates, 8 folding. Rebound and fully conserved in recent, full panelled calf, letter-piece gilt and dated at foot. Engraved title-page, one folding plate and map lined, some corners infilled and supported. Small library stamp to foot of title-page and old tape stains to fore-edge of engraved title-page. Minimal staining and browning and a few corners discretely supported.

Ides was a Danish traveller and diplomat who travelled to China as an ambassador from Russia between the years 1692-94. This account was originally printed in Dutch (1704) at the direction of Burgomaster Witzen before being "faithfully done into English" in this edition. Recognised as "one of the most detailed and accurate descriptions of inner Asia up to that time", it also contained the first European account of the Gobi desert. ESTC T55175. Cordier 2468.
