        Essai sur l\'inÃ?galitÃ? des races humaines

      HitlerÃ­s French MentorGOBINEAU, [Joseph-Arthur Comte] de. Essai sur l\'inÃ?galitÃ? des races humaines. Paris: Librairie de Firmin Didot FrÃ?res, 1853-1855.First edition. Four volumes, octavo.Contemporary half mauve cloth over dark sprinkled boards. Spines ruled in blind and lettered in gilt. Spines a bit faded. Foxing throughout, front hinge of Volume I cracked but sound. Bookplates. A beautiful set.Ã¬The French Diplomatist and man of letters, Gobineau (1816-1882), has, through the Ã«Essay on the Inequality of the Human RacesÃ­Ã³his one excursion into the realms of anthropology and sociologyÃ³exerted an influence upon European thought and action which is quite disproportionate to its scholarly insignificance and inconsequential argumentation.The men of the Action FranÃaise, Lenin, Mussolini, and Hitler were, at one remove, the disciples and propagandists of GobineauÃ­s most outrageous ideas. GobineauÃ­s racial theories were based on a complete misunderstanding of the positicism of Comte and the reasearches of Prichard into the physiological differences of the various human races. Fortified by the innate arrogance of a scion of an ancien rÃ?gime family and by his observations as an envoy in the Near and Middle East, he championed the theory, since entirely disproved, that Ã«raceÃ­ is a permanent and immutable phenomenon, and he proclaimed the unchallengeable superiority of the white race over all others. Within the white race, Gobineau assigned the supreme position to the Ã«nordicÃ­Ã³or as he fatuously called them Ã«aryanÃ­Ã³peoples who, thanks to their praiseworthy qualities of hardiness and lust for power, are predestined to rule the rest of mankind.This farrago of biological nonsense, wishful romanticism and imperialistic dreams was lapped up eagerly by the French and German intellectuals. The German enthusiasm for GobineauÃ³the German translation of the essai went through several editionsÃ³is the less comprehensible in that Gobineau thought very poorly of the Ã«German raceÃ­, which he considered a mixture of Celts and Slavs with hardly any pure Ã«nordicÃ­ blood. But there was enough substance in GobineauÃ­s book to provide nourishment for the growth of the pan-germanism and national self-adulation, and seemingly to justify anti-semitic and anti-slav excesses. Hence derived the Ã«supermanÃ­ and the glorious Ã«blond beastÃ­ of Nietzsche and the germanomania and anti-semitism of Wagner...Ã® (Printing and the Mind of Man).Printing and the Mind of Man 335.HBS 66928.$9,500

        A Visit to the Indian Archipelago, in H.M. Ship Maeander,

      London: Richard Bentley,, 1853. with Portions of the Private Journal of Sir James Brooke. Octavo. Original royal blue morocco-grained cloth, elaborately panelled in blind on spine and boards, title gilt to the spine, large gilt block of a Dyak war prahu to the upper board, all edges gilt, pale cream surface-paper endpapers. Two-tint lithographic frontispiece of Maeander "casting from Spithead", lithographed by Hawkins after Oswald Brierley and printed by Day & Son, and 7 other similar plates, one - "Volcanic Mountain, Comba Island" - with an additional reddish-brown tint added to great effect, large engraved folding map of the East Indies Islands, centred on Borneo, in an end-pocket. Head and tail of spine crumpled, corners slightly bumped, very pale marginal toning, but overall an excellently preserved copy in the original cloth. New edition, same year as the first, and essentially a repaginated, single-volume issue of the first edition. A superb copy, highly unusual thus. Keppel had served with distinction on the China Station during the First Opium War, following which he "was sent to Singapore as senior officer on that part of the station. There he made friends with Sir James Brooke, with whom he returned to Sarawak. For eighteen months he co-operated with Brooke for the suppression of Borneo piracy, and, after many engagements &#133; destroyed the chief stronghold of the pirates, together with some 300 prahus" (ODNB). In 1847, after two years on half-pay Keppel returned to the China Station "and was appointed to convey Sir James Brooke to Labuan, an island off Borneo. At Brooke&#39;s suggestion, Labuan was ceded to Great Britain in 1846 by the Sultan of Brunei; it was made a crown colony, and Brooke named governor. Keppel&#39;s book treats the voyage to Labuan, incidents there, piracy in the South China Sea, and gives a description of Manila" (Hill). Brooke returned home to answer charges levelled against his administration by the radicals Cobden and Hume - the appendices contain documentation of the accusations - while Keppel continued to Australia, an account of which visit occupies the last four chapters of the work.

        The Murray River: being a Journal of the Voyage of the "Lady Augusta"?

      W.C. Cox, Adelaide 1853 - Octavo, 46 pp.; a few pencil annotations; in original (slightly spotted) printed brown wrappers, once folded down the middle but at some time put into a neat cloth binding. The first navigation of the Murray by steam-boat. Very scarce, particularly with original wrappers: the Ivo Hammet copy, with his stamp on a flyleaf. Kinloch's book records the pioneering voyage of the steamboat Lady Augusta, accompanied by the barge Eureka, up the Murray River to its junction with the Darling. The Lady Augusta - named for the wife of the South Australian governor - was the first such boat to make the long river journey, just pipping the rival Mary Ann to the £4000 prize that had been on offer from the South Australian Government since 1850. A second edition was published three years later in London. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

        Crummock Water

      Thomas Agnew & Sons, Manchester 1853 - Lithograph by W. Gauci, printed in tints by M. & N. Hanhart, coloured by hand. Very good condition apart from two small skillfully repaired tears. An evocative image of the Lake District, an area renowned as the cradle of the Romantic Movement in Britain. The Lake District, an area of only some 700 square miles, contains all the main English lakes and is found within the northwestern counties of Cumbria and Lancashire. 'The Lakes' (as the area is also known) first came to prominence with the rise of the cult of the Picturesque in the second half of the 18th century, but it was Wordsworth, a native of Cumbria, born in 1770 on the outskirts of the Lake District itself, who really made it a mecca for those in search of the romantic ideal of landscape. He was joined in the area, at one time or another, by Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, Lord Byron, Sir Walter Scott, Thomas de Quincey and many others. By the middle of the 19th century, when the present image was produced, the area was well established in the national consciousness as the area of outstanding natural beauty in England. Bristol-born James Baker Pyne is now considered by many to have been second only to Turner in his ability to capture the essence of the English landscape. After training initially for the Law, he turned to painting in his twenties. He moved to London in 1835, where he exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists (where he later became vice president). He travelled widely throughout Britain and Europe, but he is perhaps best known for his series of views of the Lakes, painted between 1848 and 1851. Cf. Abbey Scenery 196 (1859 edition); cf. Tooley 387.

        Peep at a Native Corrobory or Grand Festival

      London: Read & Co., 1853. Hand coloured lithograph, 176 x 112 mm., fine, mounted. An unusual interpretation of an Aboriginal corroboree titled Peep at a Native Corrobory or Grand Festival by an unknown artist. From a very rare series of separately issued views this coloured engraving was issued in London in 1853 under the title Australian Life. This view is particularly interesting as it shows not only pipe smoking violin playing Australian settlers, it depicts Middle Eastern drum players participating in a fanciful full moon dance party.

        The Native Races of the Indian Archipelago

      London: Hippolyte Bailliere, 1853. Octavo, with five plates (four coloured) and two folding maps; a very good copy in half morocco. Important anthropological observations on the natives of New Guinea, but also on the North Australian Aborigines: chapter XII is devoted to Melville Island, Port Essington and North Australia in general, and one of the folding plates gives anthropometric comparisons between North Australian Aborigines and New Guinea natives. There are numerous discussions of Australian Aborigines elsewhere in the text, particularly those of Melville Island and Port Essington. The fine full-page handcoloured lithographs, produced in London, were based on drawings done on the spot by the Dutch artists Van Oort and Van Raalten. This is the first edition, separate issue (another version had the series-title "Ethnographical Library" which here only appears as an imprint on the plates). This copy is from the library of Archibald Liversidge, Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Sydney, and author of a number of important Australian works on the subject.

Ca. 30 x 24 cm.* Auguste van Pers (1815-1871) was a Dutch artist who spent much of his life in the East Indies. Publication of this collection of Nederlandsch Oost-Indische typen was begun in Batavia in 1851, but abandoned when Van Pers had to return to Holland. C.W. Meiling, one of the foremost Dutch lithographers, began publication of the work in parts in 1853. The dramatic and realistic depictions portray various ethnic groups, their professions and customs in Java for the first time. The work was originally issued in parts and is extremely rare. Ultimately 56 plates were published.Landwehr, Coloured Plates, 392; Bastin & Brommer, N497; Haks & Maris, p.208: Pers is a well-know artist, and one of the most prolific of 19th century Indonesia.

        Les petits voyageurs en Californie

      Tours: Ad Mame et Cie, 1853. Octavo, eight chromolithographic plates including frontispiece, some leaves thumbed (including preliminaries), a little shaken; otherwise good in original publisher&#39;s ornate gilt blocked cloth, page-edges gilt. A Frenchman down on his luck voyages from Le Havre to America, accompanied by two boys, to search for gold in California. Intended for a younger audience and with handsome chromolithographic plates, the voyage sees the three travel to San Francisco via New York, the Gulf of Mexico and the Panama Canal and is a colourful example of the gold rushes in the international imagination. Certainly the most interesting plate depicts San Francisco bay at mid-century. The work was clearly popular as Sabin notes further editions of 1857, 1858 and 1861 though these were issued in a significantly smaller format. The publisher, Mame et Cie issued other voyage accounts for younger readers including an account of La Perouse in 1852.

        Popular Physical Geology

      London: Reeve & Co, 1853. Octavo, 20 tinted lithograph plates; a good copy in the original blindstamped and gilt green cloth, with advertisements. Joseph Beete Jukes, best known in an Australian context as the naturalist and chronicler of the survey expedition of HMS Fly, was in fact a geologist. During his time in Australia (1842-5) he carried out major geological investigations which led to his highly important discoveries on the nature of the Great Barrier Reef - which formed a chapter in the official Narrative of the Surveying Voyage of HMS Fly. On his return to England he published A Sketch of the Physical Structure of Australia, which contained the first geological map of the continent. This present volume was intended as a popular guide to geology for a general audience. Despite its number of references to Australian geology, it is not recorded by Ferguson.

        A Visit to the Indian Archipelago, in H.M. Ship Maeander . With Portions of the Private Journal of Sir James Brooke

      London: Richard Bentley, 1853. Two volumes, octavo, with eight fine tinted lithograph plates (printed by Day & Son); folding chart in a rear pocket; a fine copy, very well bound in half calf and marbled boards in original scarlet cloth with gilt vignettes on upper boards. With plates after Oswald Brierley. A fine set of this splendid book, with eight superb plates lithographed by Hawkins after Oswald Brierley. Henry Keppel had first served in the Malacca Straits in the early 1840s during the campaign against the Borneo pirates. During that time he formed a close friendship with Sir James Brooke, who had been appointed rajah of Sarawak in perpetuity by the sultan of Brunei. In 1847 Keppel returned to the region as captain of the frigate MÃ¦ander which was to convey Brooke to Labuan, an island off Borneo. &#39;At Brooke&#39;s suggestion, Labuan was ceded to Great Britain in 1846 by the Sultan of Brunei; it was made a crown colony, and Brooke was named governor. Keppel&#39;s book treats of the voyage to Labuan, incidents there, piracy in the South China Sea, and gives a description of Manila&#39; (Hill). On the homeward journey the MÃ¦ander called in at Port Essington, Cape York, Sydney, Hobart and Norfolk Island. Keppel&#39;s accounts of these ports-of-call are both entertaining and readable. He reports at length on the work of Captain Owen Stanley of the Rattlesnake - who died in Sydney whilst Keppel was on an inland tour with Governor FitzRoy. By coincidence the fine plates which illustrate Keppel&#39;s account are by the distinguished marine artist Oswald Brierley, who joined the MÃ¦ander after having served as artist on board the Rattlesnake. In an uncharacteristic slip by Ferguson he did not record Keppel&#39;s book despite its considerable Australian importance, while Abbey&#39;s description of an earlier 1852 edition was in error.

        The Australian and Californian Gold Discoveries

      Edinburgh: Oliver & Boyd, 1853. Octavo, folding table; a good copy in publisher&#39;s blind blocked cloth cloth, skilfully rebacked with original spine laid down. Global devaluation caused by too much gold? First edition: one of few early books linking Californian discoveries to the Australian goldfields. The author looks at the historical effects of American gold finds on European prices and considers the commercial potential of the 1850s discoveries on agriculture, commerce and manufacturing. Stirling&#39;s book is "an inquiry into the laws which determine the value and distribution of the precious metals: with historical notices of the effects of the American mines on European prices in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries". In the course of his study of the effects on the world economy of the vastly accelerated production of gold from the new mines in California and Australia, Stirling has occasion to discuss such larger issues as the nature and function of money in general, international exchange rates, the social effects of inflation, steps that government might take to lessen economic disturbances caused by changes in the value of money, and so on. This copy is from the Pacific-Union Club, San Francisco, with their bookplate.

        Testimonial to George Tinline, Esq. [caption title]

      [Adelaide?]: no date or imprint, but likely, 1853. Duodecimo, 24 pp., worn at old folds, last two leaves with small loss; otherwise very good in modern tan half calf. Adelaide banks saved in the crash of 1851. Very rare printed account of a grand dinner organised for George Tinline, then acting Manager of the South Australian Banking Company. The event was described in the press as the largest private dinner party that had ever been given in South Australia. &#39;Tinline was acting manager in the economic crisis of 1851-53 when his bank faced collapse&#39; (ADB), and his bold actions not only saved the Bank of South Australia, but led directly to a boom in its stocks. In 1853 a public dinner was held, and this pamphlet prints the text of a testimonial printed in the contemporary South Australian newspapers. Its publication is a bit of a mystery. Ferguson knew two different issues of the 1889 issue, but this much more modest 24pp. pamphlet seems more likely to be an offprint of the newspaper report printed in Adelaide in 1853, and certainly has the physical characteristics of works of that date.

        Seaton's Map of Palestine, or the Holy Land, with part of Egypt. Compiled from Surveys made for the French and English Governments

      Josiah Neele, London 1853 - [ With: ] [Robert SEATON] A Companion to Seaton's Map of Palestine and Egypt. New York: Baker, Godwin & Company, 1853. Octavo (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches). Steel engraved frontispiece view of Jerusalem. Original dark brown embossed cloth A large, handsome folding map of 19th century Palestine and northern Egypt , along with companion volume by Seaton This map was designed to illustrate the geography of the Bible, and so includes many of the regions mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, as well as insets of Jerusalem, the Temple of Jerusalem, the "Grand Square of Cairo" and a view of the Sphinx and Pyramids. The map also has a large portrait of Jesus and the Woman at the Well, as part of the title cartouche. There is a decorative, marginal band that includes the Seals of several nations, including the United States and most prominently Great Britain, as well the Seal of the Knights Templar, and the regalia for Bishops and Archbishops (presumably the Church of England). Seaton's Companion is well written and informative. The book gives a history of Palestine, and a descriptive list of prominent places and Biblical tribes in Palestine. There is a chapter on the Temple. This is followed by a long discussion of the Koran. The last part of the book concerns Egypt, giving a brief history from its origins (the people of Noah's grandson, Mizraim) to its 19th century condition. The book ends with a list of prominent Egyptian places and geographical facts. Hand-coloured steel engraving by Josiah Neele. Dissected and linen backed folding map. Very good condition.

        Australien och dess guldregioner . Tillförlitliga Underrättelser för Utwandrare till Australien, i synnerhet med afseende på Öfwerfart, Ankomst, Bosättning och Guld-gräfning

      Götheborg: Gumpert & Comp, 1853. Small octavo; a fine copy in the original cloth-backed boards, a little stained and rubbed but otherwise very good. Very rare: an early and exotic goldfields guide, probably the first Scandinavian work on the Australian gold rushes. Kann was born in Sweden in 1813 but lived abroad for most of his life. He would seem to be the Charles Albert Moses Kann registered in the Jewish Community in Stockholm in the early nineteenth century, where he is entered as simply "Moses Kahn", with the note that he &#39;vacated and called himself Charles Albert Kann&#39;. He lived in Copenhagen for many years, working as a translator and language teacher, and at some point in the late 1850s - certainly after the publication of this particular book - he moved to Deal in England where he worked as a shipbroker. He died in 1866. All of his works are rather uncommon, and this charming and significant guide for the immigrants in Australia includes lengthy notices of New South Wales and Victoria, with brief but detailed comments on may towns in both states, as well as more general notes on climate and the like. The work also contains several amusing stories of successful gold diggers. Ferguson knew only the Mitchell Library copy of this work, which has since been acquired by three other Australian institutions: the National Library of Australia, and the State Libraries of Victoria and Queensland. There was also a Copenhagen version (Australien og dets Guldegne, Ferguson, 11049b).

        Japan and the Japanese : comprising the Narrative of a Captivity in Japan, and an Account of British Commercial Intercourse with that Country

      London: Colburn, 1853. Two volumes, octavo; a very good, largely uncut and partly unopened copy in original green blind-stamped cloth, spines uniformly sunned. Classic account of Japan. The Russian explorer&#39;s classic account of Japan, first published in 1817 and still a fascinating primary resource in the 1850s, one of the most valuable works of the period on Japan by an actual observer. Virtually no other first-hand study of Japan by a Westerner had been published, though by the 1850s a growing desire to force Japan to open her hitherto closed doors meant that this &#39;new and revised edition&#39; was needed: it would certainly have been read with interest by Perry and others as the United States Expedition to Japan was being formed.

        Collection of eight F.C. Terry Lettersheets

      Sydney and Melbourne: Sands & Kenny, 1853. Collection of eight unused lettersheets, quarto, each 4 pp. with engraved vignette; each sheet watermarked Sands & Kenny, all but two with a stamp of R. Clark, publisher, on verso of vignette (with no show-through to the image side); a fine set in a folding cloth case. Collection of eight unused lettersheets engraved by F.C. Terry. Frederic Terry (1825-69) was one of the better landscape artists working in Sydney during the mid-nineteenth century. Influenced by Martens, his work was included in the Paris Exhibition of 1855, the first showing of Australian pictures in Paris. This selection of engraved lettersheets uses the fine oval engravings produced by Terry for his Australian Keepsake, which was published by Sands & Kenny in 1855. Sadly, due to an engraver&#39;s error in London, Terry&#39;s name was printed as "Fleury" on each of the thirty-eight engraved views. Fortunately on this selection of lettersheets his name is correctly spelt. The collection comprises the following views: "Sydney Cove from Fort Macquarie"; "Government House from the Botanical Gardens"; "Newcastle from Nobby"; "North Head from Vaucluse"; "Double Bay from South Head Road"; "The Nobbies from Newcastle"; "Entrance to Sydney Harbour, North Head seen from the Flagstaff"; "Paramatta [sic] River from Fort Phillip". Lettersheets of this period are particularly rare in such fine and unused condition.
