Description
1788. First Edition. KEATE, George. An Account of the Pelew Islands, Situated in the Western Part of the Pacific Ocean, Composed from the Journals and Communications of Captain Henry Wilson, and Some of His Officers, Who, in August 1783, Were There Shipwrecked, in the Antelope, a Packet Belonging to the Honourable East India Company. London: G. Nicol, 1788. Quarto, contemporary full tree calf rebacked in calf-gilt with original red morocco spine label and marbled endpapers preserved. $3500.First edition of this riveting account of a “bold and hazardous enterprize,” with stipple-engraved frontispiece portrait of Captain Henry Wilson, folding map of the Palau Islands and 15 superb full-page engraved plates of native portraits (the chief, his wife and son), views and plans, weapons and utensils.""The exploring untraversed oceans, in spite of every danger that could menace, or dismay— the discovering multitudes of islands, and of people, whose existence was not known before— and the fame of fixing the geography of the Southern World, were the noble fruits of this bold and hazardous enterprize."" ""In August 1783, the Antelope, commanded by Henry Wilson, of the East India Company's Marines, ran on a rock near one of the Pelew Islands… Wilson and his crew escaped safely to shore. He and his men were well treated by the natives, and in time they managed to build a small vessel from the wreck, in which they were able to reach Macao, taking with them Prince Lee Boo, one of the king's sons. Wilson brought him to England where he was lionized and created a very good impression—he, however, unfortunately died of small-pox"" (Cox). Following the Prince's death, the East India Company dispatched a mission to inform King Abba Thulle, and to present him with gifts of European seeds and plants. Keate describes the Palau Islands as ""a rich jewel, sparkling on the bosom of the ocean."" Four London editions were published between 1788-89, of which this is the first. Cox II, 302-3. Hill 907. Howgego W41. A handsome, large copy, with binding beautifully restored.

1917. First Edition. CONRAD, Joseph. The Shadow Line: A Confession. London: J.M. Dent & Sons, (1917). Octavo, original gray-green cloth decorated in red, original dust jacket. $1900.First edition of this autobiographical novel, based on Conrad’s 1888 first command. A lovely copy in the scarce original dust jacket.Of this book Conrad has written: ""This story has been in my mind for some years. Originally I used to think of it under the name of First Command. When I managed in the second year of war to concentrate my mind sufficiently to begin working I turned to this subject as the easiest. But in consequence of my changed mental attitude to it, it became The Shadow Line."" This novel tells the story of an extraordinary experience of Conrad's first command, as Captain of the Otago, while bound from Bangkok to Australia. It was on January 5, 1888, while at Singapore, that Conrad suddenly decided to throw up his berth on the Vidar and while preparing to return to Europe in search of a ship, circumstances unexpectedly put him in the way of just what he wanted—the command of a sailing vessel (Keating, 263-64). First serialized in The English Review September 1916-March 1917. ""The English Review version was substantially revised… Conrad continued polishing while reading proof… Possibly, by the time he returned these to Dent it was too late to forward the corrections to Doubleday, Page. In any event, these final changes are incorporated in the English but not the American edition"" (Cagle). With 18 pages of publisher's advertisements bound in at rear. Cagle A21.a.1. Keating 119. Book fine, scarce original dust jacket, usually not present, with shallow chipping to ends of mildly toned spine, front and rear panels clean and bright, very good. A very nice copy in unrestored original dust jacket.

Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1969. Paperback. Good +. Paperback. 9" X 6". xv, 139pp. Mild shelf wear to pictorial paper wraps with light rubbing to covers and edges. Previous owner's name in pencil to front free end paper. Highlighting to some pages. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: At the turn of the century Martin Buber arrived on the philosophic scene. His path to maturity was one long struggle with the problem of unity--in particular with the problem of the unity of spirit and life--and he saw the problem itself to be rooted in the supposition of the primacy of the subject-object relation, with subjects "over here," objects "over there," and their relation a matter of subjects "taking in" objects or, alternatively, constituting them. But Buber moved into a position which undercuts the subject-object dichotomy and initiates a second "Copernican revolution" in philosophical thought.(Publisher).
