Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. "Life Aboard a British Privateer in the Time of Queen Anne ; Being the Journal of Captain Woodes Rogers Master Mariner. BY Captain Woodes Rogers; with notes, illustrations and map by Robert C Leslie. New edition, enlarged and revised. fold out map, illustrated. decorative blue cloth with gilt. Published by Chapman and Hall, Ltd, London, 1889. "The Rogers expedition is arguably the most successful privateering expedition ever to leave England. Rogers' achievement has been recently subject to question, with Glyndwr Williams noting that, 'for many who sailed on the Duke and Dutchess, "The success and Profit of this long and Hazardous Voyage" turned sour.' Diana Souhami describes Rogers as a man of no particular education who, by the end of the voyage, was uneasy about his share of the prize money, at odds with his fellow captains, bankrupt and desperate. All of this may be true, but should not detract from the remarkable fact that the Rogers expedition was the first circumnavigation by a British fleet since Drake, captured prizes worth more up to that time than any other privateer except Drake, and did so with comparative small loss of life Above all, and unlike any of his predecessors or followers, Rogers succeeeded in bringing home the Manila galleon to the Thames" (Beattie, British Privateering Voyages of the Early 18th Century, 98). The first edition was published in 1889. "very good for age, some spine darkening and a little edge fraying,spine tear, a few small tears inside, page chips and minor marks and spots".

8vo. (7 5/8 x 4 1/2 inches). Second edition, corrected. [i-ii] iii-xix [xx] 1-428, 1-57 [7] with 5 engraved fold-out maps. 512 pp. Sections: Introduction, A Cruising Voyage Round the World, Appendix, Index. Contemporary blind-tooled panelled calf, expertly re-backed with raised bands forming six compartments, gilt red and black Morocco letterpieces in second and third compartments. The desirable second edition of an important early Pacific voyage, a classic of buccaneering literature that inspired Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. A landmark account of privateering in the Pacific. Rogers sailed from Bristol, with William Dampier as pilot, toward the coast of Brazil, round Cape Horn, and then to Juan Fernandez, where he rescued Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor eking out a lonely existence after being marooned on the island for over four years. He writes of Selkirk's rescue: "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." It was this famous rescue that provided Rogers's friend Daniel Defoe with the plot for Robinson Crusoe. The three-year expedition crossed the Pacific to Asia and captured several vessels including the Manila galleon at Puerto Seguro. Rogers's account also includes an important early description of California (pp. 279-311). Interestingly, Rogers was able to pursue a course of legally-sanctioned piracy due to the letters of marque issued during the Spanish War of Secession to British merchant ships. In this capacity, he was part of a civilian maritime faction given the right to challenge the French and Spanish trading monopoly in the South Seas. This was only the beginning of his dalliances with the world of piracy: Rogers returned to England from this expedition and was contracted to launch a voyage against the pirates of the Bahamas. He was appointed Captain General and Governor of the islands, and was successful in persuading all but the most ferocious pirates to surrender. Those pirates who resisted, most notably Charles Vane and Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard, battled against Governor Rogers for control of their former island haunts. One of the more successful early Pacific voyages, Rogers returned to England a national hero. The public was fascinated by the story and his description of the adventurous voyage, and the book sold well. Early editions are scarce, with the second edition of 1718 being the most uncommon. This is the true second edition, though a later printing in 1726 falsely claimed to be the second. The five maps show the voyagers' track around the world and the South Sea coast of America, from the island of Chiloé to Acapulco. A handsome copy of this classic of pirate literature.
