London, 1740): "This famous and unfortunate expedition, consisting at the start of eight ships, was sent under the command of George Anson at the beginning of the war with Spain, to harass the Spaniards on the western coast of South America. Seven ships were lost at around Cape Horn and on the coast of Chile and out of 900 men who left England on board more than 600 perished. (...) The primary object of the expedition was not attained, but by the capture of the Manila Galleon near China, Anson and the surviving members of his crew reached England much the richer. (...) Walter's account of the voyage is a model of what such literature should be."

Hill 1311: "Entering what has since been called Parry or Viscount Melville Sound in September, he [Parry] reached longitude 110° West, thereby earning a reward of £5,000 that was offered by Parliament to the first ship's company that should attain that meridian". "In northern Hudson Bay, Parry sailed north of Southampton Island instead of south, the route preferred by previous navigators, thus becoming the first to sail to the Frozen Strait. He then confirmed Middleton's discovery of Repulse Bay. In late August, having found no passage through Repulse Bay, he explored the coast of Melville Peninsula north and named, among other features, Haviland Bay, Bushnan and Vansittart islands, Gore Bay, and Lyon and Hoppner inlets."

= Interesting provenance: the library of the abbey of Gandersheim, with a manuscript statement of donation by the abbess of Gandersheim, Elisabet Ernestine Antoinette von Sachsen-Meiningen, to the Abbey library with her engr. bookplate (engr. by Martin Tyroff) below on the upper pastedown: "Je destine ce livre à la chambre d'Architecture à ma Maison de Brunshausen le 16. de dec. 1727 Elisabet Ernestine Antoinette Ab. D.G.D.V. SM[?]". Also with a manuscript dedication by a certain C.F. de Bronsart on the first free endpaper, dated "à Gandersheim Le 14. Decem.: 1727.", stating that he had offered the work as a birthday present to the Abbess (C.F. de Bronsart is known to have donated another work to the Abbess on her birthday in 1730, but we could not further identify him/ her). The following is a quote from the data of the the online reconstruction of the library of the Gandersheim Abbey (see: https://bibliotheksrekonstruktion.hab.de/gandersheim/gandersheim.xml), in which both the copy that we offer here and the name of C.F. de Bronsart are recorded:

"Die Bibliothek wurde von Fürstäbtissin Elisabeth Ernestine Antonie von Sachsen-Meiningen (1681-1766) mit Unterstützung ihres Haushofmeisters Johann Anton Kroll von Freyen (1666-1749) durch Ankauf auf dem internationalen Buchmarkt sowie durch teils erbetene Schenkungen geschaffen. Die Bibliothek befand sich in einem prächtig ausgestatteten Raum im Nordflügel des Abteigebäudes. Bücher, Graphikmappen und Münzsammlung waren in 11 Schränken und drei Kommoden systematisch geordnet untergebracht. Die Stiftsbibliothek umfasst etwa 1000 Titel in 1400 Bänden. In der Sammlung befanden sich auch Buchbestände aus der Sommerresidenz der Fürstäbtissin in Brunshausen. Diese Bände waren einheitlich in Leder gebunden und teilweise mit dem goldenen Stiftswappen und dem Exlibris der Äbtissin versehen. Widmungen weisen auf die jeweiligen Stifter hin. Nach der Aufhebung des Stiftes 1810 wurden wesentliche Teile der Bibliothek von Karoline Ulrike Amalie von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld nach Coburg gebracht wo sie bis heute in der Landesbibliothek und den Kunstsammlungen erhalten sind. Die ebenfalls von Elisabeth Ernestine Antonie gegründete, in der Stiftskirche aufgestellte Stiftskirchenbibliothek befindet sich heute als Depositum im Predigerseminar Braunschweig." The abbey was dissolved in 1810.

Despite the missing plates, an attractive copy of this famous work on the Amsterdam municipal building designed by Jacob van Campen and built between 1648 and 1655. Kat. Orn. Berlin 2235. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXX.
