Containing a Journal of all the Remarkable Transactions; particularly, of the Taking of Puna and Guiaquil, of the Acapulco Ship, and other Prizes; An Account of Alexander Selkirk's living alone four Years and four Months in an Island. And an Introduction relating to the South-Sea Trade. First edition. 5 engraved folding maps. 8vo. Late eighteenth-century panelled calf, recased, original spine laid down, in a quarter morocco drop-back box. xxii, 428, 56, [14 index]pp. London, A. Bell & B. Lintot, A handsome copy of this classic of pirate literature. Rogers sailed from Bristol, with William Dampier as pilot, toward the coast of Brazil, round Cape Horn and then to Juan Fernandez where he found Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor eking out a lonely existence after being marooned on the island for over four years. He writes: ?Febr. 2. [1709]. Immediately our Pinnace return's from the shore, and brought an abundance of Craw-fish, with a Man cloth'd in Goat Skins, who look'd wilder than the first Owners of them.? This was a minor event in this important and very profitable privateering cruise, on which prizes were taken along the coast of Peru before sailing across the Pacific to Asia. ?The high point of this circumnavigation was the capture of the Manila galleon, in 1709, at Puerto Segurio? (Hill). Rogers was able to pursue this course of legally sanctioned piracy due to the letters of marque issued during the Spanish War of Secession to certain merchant ships. In this capacity, he was part of a barely regulated civilian maritime faction with the right to challenge the French and Spanish trading monopoly in the South Seas. This was only the beginning of Rogers' dalliances with the world of piracy - not long after he returned to England from this expedition he was contracted to launch a voyage against the pirates of the Bahamas. He was appointed by George I Captain General and Governor of the islands, and was successful in persuading all but the most ferocious pirates to surrender with the promise of clemency under the King's pardon. Those pirates who resisted, most notably Charles Vane and Edward Teach, or Blackbeard, then battled against Governor Rogers for control of their former island haunts. The first edition is quite uncommon, much more so than the second edition of 1718. Sabin, 72753; Borba, p.744; Hill, 1479.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Second Edition London: Printed for A. Bell and B. Lintot, 1718, 8vo, five folding maps, including a folding map of the world, contemporary panelled calf gilt, rebacked. This work is an account of one of the most colourful and swashbuckling voyages written about the buccaneers. Bristol was England's second largest port, thriving on the growing trade with the American colonies. William Dampier persuaded the merchant and sea captain Woodes Rogers to join him in a circumnavigation (Dampier's third) and to pursue the Spanish Treasure Galleons. The war of the Spanish Succession was still under way so Rogers and a prominent Bristol consortium of respected citizens were receptive to Dampier's plans to plunder from privateering in the Pacific against England's enemies, the French and the Spanish. The consortium purchased two ships: the 320 tons, 30 guns Duke and the 260 tons, 26 guns Duchess. Dampier was to be the 'pilot for the South Seas'. They left Bristol on 2 August 1708 and struck out for the long haul to Brazil via Cape Horn, sighting the coast on 14 November. Re-provisioned they arrived in the Pacific and set course for the Juan Fernandez Islands where they found and rescued Alexander Selkirk, the source for Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. After illness, near mutiny and unrest from unruly crews, the privateers captured the large ship Havre de Grace, attacked and plundered the Spanish stronghold of Guayaquil in Ecuador. There was bitter arguments over the distribution of plunder but Rogers dealt severely with the ringleaders and kept the rest of the crew in check. Their greatest prize was the capture of the Manila Treasure Ship - the galleon Nuestra Senora de la Encarnacion Disengano. During this engagement Rogers was hit on the jaw by musket shot, and had to wait until they made the long voyage to Batavia to have it properly attended by a doctor. On October 1711, the battered little squadron sailed up the Thames to an enthusiastic reception. They brought back nearly £150,000 from the Manila galleon, and even after legal fees, customs dues and payment to the East India Company there was still a fortune left. Dampier had fulfilled his ambition of seizing a Spanish treasure ship, although he had difficulty acquiring his share of the spoils. Rogers went on to become Governor of the Bahamas and was instrumental in controlling piracy on the islands. He was also involved in the engagement and death of Edward Teach (Blackbeard). An important narrative and one of the best known English buccaneering narratives. Hill 1479; Howes R421; Cox I, 46; Sabin 72753; Cowan, p.194; Diana & Michael Preston. A Pirate of Exquisite Mind.
