Quarto (8-3/4" x 11-1/4"), uncut at fore and bottom edges, bound in later green boards backed with tan cloth and a morocco gilt-lettered spine label. A curious and compelling collection illustrated with two maps, two portraits, and five charts. Hill p. 15; Howes B-177; New Howes B-173 "dd"; Sabin 3628; Streeter 2445. Includes "Journal of a Voyage in 1775 to Explore the Coast of America, Northward of California," with map, which, according to Lada-Mocarski 34, is the first and only contemporary account in English of the first Spanish voyage into Alaskan waters. Also included are the important essay on "The Possibility of Approaching the North Pole," first published separately in 1775-76 and not published again until 1818, and one of the earliest accounts in English, reprinted from a 1770 volume of Philosophical Transactions, of the young Mozart complete with an engraving of the musician at the age of seven, the first published portrait of the prodigy. Other essays include a treatise on whether the turkey was known before the discovery of America as well as essays on the reindeer, the bat, the cuckoo, and botanical subjects. It is believed that through Barrington's encouragement, Gilbert White was induced to write the NATURAL HISTORY OF SELBORNE.

The First Edition of this classic with illustrations printed in color. Two small quarto volumes (6-1/8" x 10-1/8") bound in the original red cloth with gilt-decorated horsemen and lettering against a red and black background recently rebacked with sympathetic red morocco spines with gilt-lettering and decorations and new endpapers. Complete: viii, 264; viii, 266 pages. Illustrated with 180 superb color plates containing 360 images and a folding map, with the usual plate numbering anomalies. There was a prior edition with hand-colored plates, but it exists in very few copies and is seldom offered on the market. When it is it usually commands upwards of $30,000. This edition is generally considered to be the handsomest 19th century edition of Catlin's important book. Catlin was the first astute and sympathetic artist to observe and accurately portray Native Americans. Howes C241; Sabin 11536 (1841 edition); Streeter 1805 (1841); Wagner-Camp 84 (1841+ editions); Wheat, TRANSMISISIPPI WEST 84: "Offers an excellent picture of the Indian situation at the opening of the 19th century's fourth decade." Jenkins, A FULL HOWES: "Catlin's record of Indian life was the first and freshest account of the vanishing American Indians as they actually lived and remains one of the chief sources for all later knowledge of the North American Indians." Early library stamp on title page of second volume and old ink numbers on verso of title pages. Plates and text bright and fresh with the bindings quite nice.

Small Folio (9-1/2" x 12-1/2") bound in the publisher's gilt-decorated blue cloth. Illustrated with an engraved title page and 26 steel-engraved plates by Seth Eastman, the author's husband and one of the finest artists of the frontier American West. The Eastmans depict in words and pictures from their own firsthand experiences the life and manners of Native Americans in the 1840s. The plates are generally bright and fresh with all tissue guards present. There are spots of foxing here and there to some of the text pages and some of the plates. The binding is completely original with no restoration. The spine edges and tips are somewhat worn and the spine is rubbed, but the gilt is still visible. The covers are bright and strong.
