Description:
2 volumes. xx+ii+332 pages with fold out frontispiece and foldout map; ii+478 pages with appendix. Small Octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/4"). Bound in original decorative blind stamped brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine. The map is titled Mexico and Texas and shows the Republic of Texas including a large section of today's New Mexico, Kansas and southern Colorado, northward to the Arkansas River and westward to the Rio Grade. (Sabin 72016) First edition. Robertson was appointed Mexican commissioner in 1848. He journeyed with his daughter from Southampton to Bermuda on the Avon, and then to the Yucatan Peninsular on the Forth. Written in the form of a journal, the book includes both details of everyday life on board ship and dramatic events, such as shipwreck. Both father and daughter contributed to the book, which gives an interesting perspective on Robertson's sojourn in Mexico. The book provides information on the country's mines, politics, and mores, as well as anecdotes of the Yucatan and West Indies.… Read More

Description:
Paris: De l'Imprimerie Royale, 1821. Leather Bound. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Octavo. 258 pages. Hardcover bound in mid-20th century full red leather with gilt titles on the spine. Light wear to the binding. The binding is fresh and clean and has the appearance of a library type binding but it is not an ex-library copy. Endpapers contemporary with the binding, yet there are also some blank endpapers original to the book. One of these has some erased pencil notations. The text block is sound, and the text is exceptionally clean. We see one leaf (pages 71-72) which have some paper repairs. The paper in one gathering in the center is a bit toned. Wide margins. Text is in French. Originally published in 1787, both that and this edition are quite rare. Not illustrated; no maps called for. A very rare pilot guide for Saint Dominique (later Haiti). The descriptions were the basis of maps.
