Original endpapers. 18th century bookplate on front pastedown. Edges dyed yellow. Folding map and decorative chapter heading and endings. Generally very clean with a bit of foxing on the preliminary and last leaves. Howes D-373, Lande 1144, Peel 8, TPL 193, NMM 796, Streeter 3637. Hill p.84- "This book was published in the midst of a controversy between Dobbs and Christopher Middleton; the latter had been sent out by the former to search for a Northwest Passage but had failed. Dobbs was convinced that there was such a passage and charged Middleton with collusion with the Hudson's Bay Company to prevent the successful exploration of two or three inlets in the western part of Hudson Bay." This is the most common title in the whole Dobbs/Middleton pamphlet war. Still a very uncommon book in today's marketplace.

First Edition
First edition of this famous attack on the trading monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. Dobbs was a strong supporter of the search for the Northwest Passage, and in this fascinating work he describes early expeditions and future opportunities for discoveries. This is a particularly wide-margined and bright copy. Of particular note is Dobbs's utilization of the notorious "Admiral de Fonte letter", one of the most influential hoaxes of the eighteenth century, which claimed that a route existed from Peru via the Pacific Northwest to the Atlantic. In 1752, the French cartographers Guillaume Delisle and Philippe Buache drew up a map showing a complex system of islands and waterways that linked the North Pacific and Baffin Bay. "The source of this highly conceptualized piece of geography was a story that had appeared in 1708 in an English publication, Monthly Miscellany, or Memoirs for the Curious. The story told of a letter from Admiral Bartholomew de Fonte, who alleged that he sailed from Peru seeking a Northwest Passage between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and had discovered several of these lakes and waterways, which he had named. Although de Fonte and his voyage are now recognized as fabrications, the story was picked up by Arthur Dobbs, a wealthy and influential Englishman who was an ardent supporter of the idea of a Northwest Passage. Dobbs published an abstract of de Fonte's letter in 1744 and actively pushed for repeated English voyages into the western reaches of Hudson Bay to explore for the passage" (Lang and Walker, p. 50). Benjamin Franklin, himself the perpetrator of numerous hoaxes, was convinced of the truthfulness of the account and had been part of a group who put together two expeditions to Hudson Bay, commissioning the Argo, under captain Charles Swaine, to make journeys in 1753-4. For British interests, it was the Hudson Bay Company itself which acted very much as the motor driving Northwest Passage expeditions. The first part of Dobbs's Account is compiled from French sources and communications by residents of the north, includes the de Fonte letter at p. 123 et seq., and an abstract from the journal of Captain Christopher Middleton, whose Northwest Passage expedition Dobbs had sponsored. Dobbs, "bitterly opposed to the Hudson's Bay Company's control of the region" (Hill), accused Middleton of collaborating with the Company to prevent further exploration of some of the bay's inlets. Dobbs's was one of a number of publications that spurred an investigation into the HBC monopoly by a Parliamentary committee in 1749. Although Dobbs subsequently served as a governor of North Carolina, he never set eyes on the ice-bound regions of the north. The second half of the book lays out Dobbs's arguments in favour of further expeditions to locate a Northwest Passage. Information on past voyages, with latitudes, is accompanied by discussion of the trade benefits arising from finding a navigable route through to Asia. He concludes with a "Vocabulary of English and Eskima Words" and a short vocabulary of the "language spoke among the Northern Indians inhabiting the North-west part of Hudson's Bay, as it was taken at different times from the Mouths of Nabiana and Zazana, two Indians, who were on board His Majesty's Ship the Furnace". Copies are often described as large-paper copies, though this is likely confused with the fact that the work was produced with wide margins. We have seen another example of this binding, perhaps a more exclusive style made available to clients of the publisher. Provenance: armorial bookplate on front pastedown of the Earl of Roden. This is likely Robert Jocelyn, 2nd Earl of Roden (17561820), an Irish peer, soldier and politician. He was appointed a Knight of the Order of St Patrick in 1806. The Rodens resided at Tollymore Park, near Bryansford, County Down. The family library appears to have been of magnitude, with the 3rd Earl owning a Shakespeare First Folio. The Shakespeare was purchased by Henry Folger in 1912 for $13,750 from Frank T. Sabin. Books on Ice, p. 10; ESTC T90486; Hill 483; Howes D-373; Sabin 20404; Streeter VI:3637. Percy G.

First Edition
First edition of this famous attack on the trading monopoly of the Hudson Bay Company and on the vastly experienced Christopher Middleton (1690-1770), a seaman with an interest in northern exploration and an expert in ice-navigation, who was employed by Dobbs in his attempt to find a Northwest Passage. This is a particularly wide-margined and bright copy. The British colonial officer Arthur Dobbs (1689-1765) worked actively to have the Hudson Bay Company's trade monopoly revoked, as they showed little interest in promoting north-west passage discovery expeditions. This work was born of his strong desire to locate the route and his frustration with the English failure in doing so. The first part of Dobbs's Account is compiled from French sources and communications by residents of the north. It includes the "Admiral de Fonte letter", one of the most influential hoaxes of the eighteenth century, which claimed that a route existed from Peru via the Pacific Northwest to the Atlantic. It also includes an abstract from the journal of Middleton, whose north-west passage expedition Dobbs had sponsored. Middleton sailed to Hudson Bay for the first time in 1721 as second mate on one of the Hudson Bay Company supply vessels. He was interested in the mysterious passage, the entrance thought to lie somewhere along the west coast of Hudson Bay, through Wager Bay or Roes Welcome Sound. In all, Middleton made 16 voyages in the Hudson Bay Company's service, 12 of them as captain. In 1740, Dobbs lobbied to send an expedition in search of the Northwest Passage with Middleton as captain of HMS Furnace, something the Admiralty agreed to for the following year. Middleton's trip proved disastrous - there were ten deaths from scurvy and he found that the Hudson Bay inlets did not lead to the Pacific. Dobbs was not convinced of his findings "and in the spring of 1743, alleged that Middleton had deliberately concealed the entrance of a passage through Wager Bay. For Dobbs, the question of a passage was now part of a larger scheme to break the trading monopoly of the Hudson Bay Company, and Middleton's refusal to admit that he had found a passage was put down to bribery by the company. This malicious accusation marked the beginning of a dispute that led to an inconclusive investigation by the Admiralty" (ODNB). Although Dobbs subsequently served as a governor of North Carolina, he never set eyes on the ice-bound regions of the north. The second part of the book lays out Dobbs's arguments in favour of further expeditions to locate a Northwest Passage. Information on past voyages, with latitudes, is accompanied by a discussion of the trade benefits of finding a navigable route to Asia. He also includes the Hudson Bay Company charter, concluding with a "Vocabulary of English and Eskima Words", besides a short vocabulary of the "language spoken among the Northern Indians inhabiting the North-west part of Hudson's Bay, as it was taken at different times from the Mouths of Nabiana and Zazana, two Indians, who were on board His Majesty's Ship the Furnace". Of particular note is Dobbs's invocation of the notorious "Admiral de Fonte letter". In 1752, the French cartographers Guillaume Delisle and Philippe Buache drew a map showing a complex system of islands and waterways that linked the North Pacific and Baffin Bay. "The source of this highly conceptualized piece of geography was a story that had appeared in 1708 in an English publication, Monthly Miscellany, or Memoirs for the Curious.
