Folding frontis double hemisphere map by Moll a little creased with some minor fold separation, lacks Bowen map, three other folding maps by Senex present with some browning, text clean. Contemporary calf gilt; joints restored with some minor repair to spine. A source for Robinson Crusoe First edition. "Rogers's account is considered a buccaneering classic... After sailing down the coast of Brazil and rounding Cape Horn, he made for the deserted island of Juan Fernandez to seek shelter from a severe storm. There Rogers rescued the celebrated Alexander Selkirk, a Scot who had been marooned several years before... who has been immortalized as the prototype for the title character in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. An account of Selkirk's true adventures is given. The expedition then cruised the coast of Peru, taking various prizes, reached California, and crossed the Pacific to Asia. The high point of this circumnavigation was the capture of the Manila galleon, in 1709, at Puerto Seguro" (Hill). REFERENCES: Borba de Moraes p.744; Hill (2004) 1479; Howes R421; Sabin 72753

[Daniel Defoe] The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner... London: Printed for W. Taylor, 1719 — The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of his Life...London: Printed for W. Taylor, 1719— Serious Reflections during the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: with his Vision of the Angelick World. London: Printed for W. Taylor, 1720 FIRST EDITION, 3 VOLUMES, 8vo (190 x 115mm.), title page and preface to each volume, engraved frontispiece of Robinson Crusoe in first volume, folding engraved map of the world in second volume, folding engraved plate of Crusoe's island in third volume, errata and advertisements at end of first volume, advertisements at end of second volume, publisher's note and advertisements at start and end of third volume, woodcut publisher's device on titles in second and third volume, woocut head- and tailpieces and initials, nineteenth-century citron morocco by Bedford, spines gilt with raised bands in 6 compartments, edges gilt, marbled endpapers, dentelles gilt A finely and uniformly bound set of first editions of all 3 parts of Defoe's masterpiece, widely considered the first English novel. Presented as autobiographical, in the form of an epistolary travelogue, it was commonly believed that Crusoe was a real individual, since authorship is credited to "himself", rather than Defoe. The book was celebrated and popular from the outset, later becoming one of the most published books in history, even giving its name to a genre of stories inspired by Defoe's original tale, called "Robinsonade". Defoe was himself inspired by the true story of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway: the Pacific island he lived on for 4 years was renamed "Robinson Crusoe island" in 1966. This set includes the lesser known second volume, intended as the final issue in the series according to the title page, as well as the third volume published the next year. The Farther Adventures recounts Crusoe's return to his island and his adventures on his journey home through Madagascar, Southeast Asia, China, and Siberia. The third volume comprises a series of essays from the point of view of Crusoe, reflections on "Solitude", "Honesty", and various other philosophical topics, showing the influence of Locke and Montaigne on Defoe's writing. "The romance of Crusoe's adventures, the figure of civilized man fending for himself on a desert island, has made an imperishable impression on the mind of man ... much of modern science fiction is basically Crusoe's island changed to a planet" (PMM Exhibition Catalogue, 1963, no. 325). According to Coleridge, Defoe was "he, who makes me forget my specific class, character, & circumstances raises me into the Universal Man - Now this is Defoe's Excellence, you become a Man while you read."

DEFOE, DANIEL The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner [The Further Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe; Serious Reflections During The Life And Surprizing Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe: With His Vision Of The Angelick World]. For William Taylor, 1719-1720 3 volumes, 8vo, FIRST EDITIONS, engraved frontispiece of Robinson Crusoe in volume 1, folding engraved maps of the world and Crusoe's island in volumes 2 and 3, with the advertisements as called for in all volumes, volume 1 with Hutchins' variant points ("apyly" on A2 verso, "Pilot" and "Portuguese" on p.343), volume 2 with long advertisement beginning "Just Published, the 4th edition ..." on verso of A4, volume 3 with the catchword "The" on page 270, red morocco gilt by F. Bedford, gilt turn ins, spines gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, volume 1 with very minor chipping to a few lower edges of leaves, expert neat restoration to volume 2 map at folds, A FINE SET OF FIRST EDITIONS OF DEFOE'S CELEBRATED MASTERPEICE, which initiated an entirely new literary form -- with its revolutionary power both to 'instruct and delight' -- and has since become embedded in the world's cultural consciousness. Written with a keen eye to a contemporary taste for travel and the exotic largely inspired by Britain's burgeoning power as an international trading nation, the novel was an immediate and massive success both among the greatest thinkers of the age and the reading public, passing through four editions in its first year. It is second only to the Bible in number of translations.
