Zustand: Befriedigend. Hardcover Pappeinband d.Zt., äußerst stark berieben und bestoßen. Der Schnitt ist stark gedunkelt. Die Seiten sind alterstypisch gedunkelt, häufig leicht fleckig, gelegentlich etwas fingerfleckig oder verschmutzt, insgesamt ordentlich. Titelseite mit 2 Bibliotheksstempeln, weitere Stempel im Buch. Band 24 der 'Bibliothek der neuesten und wichtigsten Reisebeschreibungen zur Erweiterung der Erdkunde'; der Vortitel zu dieser Reihe fehlt. Erste und einzige deutsche Ausgabe der Beschreibung einer Reise, die der britische Marineoffizier und Forschungsreisende James Hingston Tuckey (1776-1816) in den Jahre, 1802-1804 unternahm. Er hatte im Jahre 1802 als First-Lieutenant der Calcutta den Auftrag erhalten, bei der Gründung der britischen Kolonie New South Wales mitzuarbeiten. Das Schiff verließ zusammen mit seinem Schwesterschiff Ocean England im April 1803, an Bord ein Marinekommando, Siedler und ca. 300 Strafgefangene. Er vermaß den Hafen von Port Phillip (Melbourne) und erforschte das Umland, besucht auch Tasmanien und gründete die Siedlung, aus der die Stadt Hobart entstand. Die Fahrt ging über Teneriffa und die Capverdischen Inseln nach Rio de Janeiro; die Stadt muß ihn beeindruckt haben, denn er widmet ihr eine ausführliche Beschreibung auf den Seiten 27 63. Zurück über Kapstadt und das Kap der Guten Hoffnung erreichte man Australien und Port Phillip 1804. Im letzten Kapital beschreibt Tuckey die Bucht und die Ansiedlungen um Port Jackson und Western Port. Die Rückfahrt über Kap Horn, Rio de Janeiro zurück nach England wird nur kurz beschrieben. In den Zusätzen (Anhängen) am Ende des Buchs führt Tuckey ein Meteorologisches Tagebuch, beschreibt das Bauholz, das in Neu-Süd-Wales wächst und schließt mit einer Beschreibung der Strafgefangenen und deren Behandlung.

VI, 136 pp.First and only edition of the German translation of an account of a voyage to Australia undertaken by the Irish/British explorer James Hingston Tuckey (1776-1816), sometimes erroneously called James Kingston Tuckey. As first-lieutenant of the Calcutta he sailed to Australia to expand the British colony of New South Wales around Port Phillip (Melbourne). The Calcutta, together with the Ocean, left England in April 1803 carrying a marine detachment, free settlers and ca. 300 convicts. Tuckey made "a complete survey of the harbour of Port Phillip and a careful examination of the adjacent coast and country" (DNB), one of the earliest proper surveys of the area. To survey the area, Tuckey also visited Tasmania, founding a settlement what would late become Hobart.Tuckey describes his voyage via the Cape Verde and Rio de Janeiro, commenting on the latter's trade (including slave trade), politics and population. They continued sailing to Tristan da Cunha and Cape Town (South Africa). They arrived at Port Phillip in February 1804. In the last chapter Tuckey describes the bay and the settlements around Port Jackson and Western Port. Included at the end is an appendix, consisting of a meteorological journal of Port Phillip, a section on different types of timber in New South Wales, and a section on the selection of convicts send to Australia and how to keep them healthy during the voyage.Library copy. First few leaves with some minor stains, but otherwise good.

Erstausgabe
First edition of this uncommon and comprehensive global geography for mariners, based on Tuckey's personal experiences in the East Indies and on the voyage to establish the colony at Port Phillip, as well as extensive research conducted during his long incarceration as a prisoner of war during the Napoleonic Wars. This is a smart set in contemporary diced calf. While serving as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, Tuckey's vessel was captured by French forces at Rochefort in 1804; he would spend a decade in captivity. He states in the preface that his imprisonment allowed him "the perusal of many thousand volumes" for his research. Ferguson points out that Tuckey "describes the principal voyages round the world, including those of Cook, La Perouse, Broughton, and Vancouver [and includes] sections on America (United States), New Spain (including California), North-west Coast of America, Polynesia, New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land". For the chapters on Australia, Tuckey drew on his own experience - having been first lieutenant on the Calcutta in 1802, which made "a complete survey of the harbour of Port Phillip and a careful examination of the adjacent coast and country" (ODNB) - providing detail on all locales mentioned, with discussion of non-nautical detail such as the flora and fauna of the region and a description of the habitation of the convicts held there. In volume I Tuckey provides a useful bibliography of works consulted and the publishers include an interesting "catalogue of the most approved maps, charts, planispheres, globes", along with prices (Horsburgh & Arrowsmith's East-India Pilot heading the list at £19 15 shillings). Tuckey's health was, unsurprisingly, badly affected by his lengthy time as a prisoner of war, yet despite this he was put in charge of an expedition to the River Congo, which sailed in 1816. His ship got as far as the notorious cataracts and Tuckey proceeded overland, but his health collapsed, and he died "of exhaustion rather than disease" (ibid.). It has been remarked recently that Tuckey "personified the broader contemporary reimagining of naval captains as philosophers and agents of scientific discovery - a theme Tuckey developed deliberately in his 1815 text, Maritime Geography and Statistics" (Simpson, p. 68). Ferguson 628 calls for the presence of a map in vol. IV (a double-hemisphere world map, number 1815.07 in Perry & Prescott's A Guide to Maps of Australia in Books Published 1780-1830: An Annotated Cartobibliograhy, 1996), but this appears not to be present in most copies; not in Hill or Sabin. Daniel Simpson, The Royal Navy in Indigenous Australia, 1795-1855, 2020. Four volumes, octavo (214 x 128 mm). Contemporary diced calf, richly gilt spines with four low raised bands, matching sheep twin labels, gilt decorative border to sides, Turkish pattern marbled edges, grayish olive green surface-paper endpapers. Bindings lightly rubbed, ink-stamps of St. Patrick's College, Thurles, to all title pages, general light toning, scattered foxing, yet this remains a handsome set.

Paulitschke, Erforschung, 199. Henze V, 360. Erste Ausgabe. Tuckey erforschte im Auftrag der britischen Admiralität den Flußlauf des Kongo. Die Expedition kam zu einem unglücklichen Ende, denn Tuckey und weitere 23 Mitglieder der Expedition starben innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Der posthume Bericht beruht auf seinen Reisetagebüchern. Tuckeys Angaben über Ausmaße und Lauf des Flusses stießen bei den Zeitgenossen auf Unglauben, spätere Expeditionen blieben erfolglos.
