This volume is vellum-bound, the paper watermarked for C. HARRIS 1846, the stationer's label for FREDERICK WALLER, 49 Fleet Street, London, the front free end-paper with Gosse's name written as in plate 4 of FREEMAN & WERTHEIMER Bibliography, the front board with label 'INFUSORIA.4.', the rear board with 'Journal' in script. A pencil note in Richard Freeman's hand, signed by him, reads : 'Given to me on my sixtieth birthday. 1 April 1975.' *The major portion of the Infusoria comprises detailed descriptions of some 75 species of Rotifer, each entry dated, with reference to a figure, the location found [many from Hampstead Heath, Berger's Lily Pond, the fountains of Trafalgar Square, Kensington Palace]. Part 2 is primarily a list of approx. 31 species, most of which are ascribed GOSSE, some with the postscript 'n.sp.' [new species?]. SEE - FREEMAN and WERTHEIMER Bibliography, 1980, #169-172 (1886-1889) - 'The rotifers had early attracted Gosse's attention and he had published seventeen papers on them, the first in 1850. He had also accumulated a large amount of unpublished descriptions and drawings.' F & W also refer to Gosse's original manuscripts : 'One of Gosse's notebooks on rotifers which was used in his articles in the Journal of the Royal Microscopical Society and then in this book, is in the Zoological Library of the British Museum (Natural History); another, entitled 'Drawings of Rotifera; by Philip Henry Gosse, F.R.S. Sept. 1886' is in the University of Toronto (see Nos. 399-401). A large bound folio volume entitled 'The original drawings of the Rotifera (Clifton, 1886)' at the Royal Society (MS 132) contains mostly original drawings by Hudson, some copies by him of Gosse's drawings, and some original ones by Gosse himself.' The rarity of this volume speaks for itself ! The ALS from Fred Dystan - 'Dear Gosse I am glad you are better, which I suppose I may assume from your writing. I think it is great humbug that you won't let me name my own beast. I use the word in a Pickwickian sense but I see no impropriety in your working on a beast I had already named. However I must leave it with you, as I cannot undertake to publish it myself.'. There is, in addition, a second letter from this correspondent, 7 sides, dated Oct.7th.1856, dealing with details of the Rotiferae.

Four volumes, octavo, with a total of 63 engraved plates (19 folding), including 19 maps; contemporary calf, spines exceptionally skilfully renewed and old labels preserved, a fine set. The "best" edition of Dampier: the complete collected edition of the exciting travels of the English explorer, pirate, privateer, navigator, and naturalist William Dampier (1651-1715). He was the first person to make three circumnavigations, and the most significant explorer between Drake and Cook, borrowing bravado from Drake and anticipating Cook's methods of inquiry. Dampier was of course the first Englishman to land on and explore any part of the Australian continent: the first volume here includes his recollection of how, in 1688, "being now clear of all the Islands, we stood off South, intending to touch at New Holland, a part of Terra Australis Incognita, to see what the country would afford us. New Holland is a very large tract of Land. It is not yet determined whether it is an Island or a main Continent; but I am certain that it joyns neither to Asia, Africa, nor America.". Along with his interesting observations on Shark Bay and the northwest coast of Australia his books are particularly good on the flora and fauna of the region: he was effectively Australia's first natural historian, and many of his bird, fish and flower discoveries are illustrated with charming woodcut illustrations. Dampier's books, as well as directly inspiring the stories of both Swift and Defoe, were all but devoured as thrilling narratives by an enthusiastic reading public, accounting for present-day scarcity of both the original editions and this collected version. His first book was published in 1697, an account of his early voyaging in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, while his account of the famous voyage of HMS Roebuck appeared in two parts in 1703 and 1709. All of his works were issued by Knapton, who also issued the narratives of other buccaneers, many of whom were colleagues of Dampier. As a result, in 1729, with interest in Dampier unabated, Knapton decided to issue this collected edition, with three volumes devoted to Dampier himself, and a fourth containing Funnell's critical account of the Dampier voyage as well as the narratives of Cowley, Sharp, Wood and Roberts. The work includes the narratives of Wafer and Funnell as well as the whole book of William Hacke. Knapton used the latest edition of each of the four volumes which had been separately published between 1697 and 1709, and offered them together in this form as a uniform set with a new general title-page; thus the first volume has the general title-page "A Collection of Voyages." followed by the volume's original, separate title-page "A New Voyage round the World." showing it to be in its "seventh edition, corrected" form, while the others are represented by third or fourth edition texts. Dampier's complete works represent a major body of Pacific description, important for any study of the discovery and colonisation of the Pacific. As James A. Williamson wrote in his introduction to the Argonaut Press's 1939 edition of the Voyage to New Holland, 'Dampier's permanent service to his countrymen was to arouse their interest in the exploration of the Pacific. He did it so effectively that in the eighteenth century they took the lead in revealing the tropical islands and the coasts of Australia and New Zealand and two dominions of the British Commonwealth are. the outcome of that enterprise. His third and last book, the Voyage to New Holland, concentrated attention more particularly on the western and southern Pacific. It might have been more aptly described as a voyage to New Britain and a project for Eastern Australia, for there essentially lay the focus of his interest.'. As the wikipedia article points out, Dampier's achievements were multiple and various. As well as his major geographical discoveries and seafaring achievements, 'His expeditions were among the first to identify and name a number of plants, animals, foods, and cooking techniques for a European audience; being among the first English writers to use words such as avocado, barbecue, and chopsticks. In describing the preparation of avocados, he was the first European to describe the making of guacamole, named the breadfruit plant, and made frequent documentation of the taste of numerous foods foreign to the European palate such as flamingo and manatee'. .
