The Three Voyages Of Edmond Halley In the Paramore 1698-1701. Edited by....
London: The Hakluyt Society, 1981. In two volumes. Second Series, Vol. 156 and 157. Tall 8vo., orig. blue cloth with a pictorial decoration in gilt on the upper board, 392 pp., vol. 2 is a portfolio containing two charts (one on two sheets) Spines slightly faded o/w fine.
"Halley's departure on the first voyage was delayed because of his employment by Newton; and by Tsar Peter's desire to sail in the newly-commissioned Paramore. The first voyage ended prematurely with the court martial of Halley's first lieutenant. However, the second voyage was an eminently successful undertaking in which the Paramore made a wide sweep through the Atlantic reaching 52°24´S latitude. Halley made many observations which enabled him to produce the first isogonic map: this is also the earliest isoline map of any phenomenon. In his third and last voyage in the Paramore, in the summer of 1701, Halley made a detailed study of the English Channel. This voyage was also productive of highly original cartographic work including the first tidal chart."

Mirror To Damascus. London: Heinemann, (1967). Uncorrected proof copy of the authors first book. Wrappers. Library stamp on half title, no other library markings in fact a near fine copy in the d/w with "Uncorrected Proof" at the foot of the front flap, the d/w has some creasing at the top as is oversize, a chip at the top of the front panel affecting the title but is o/w very nice. Scarce. "This deeply sensitive portrait of Damascus past and present is an unique work. The author is strongly perceptive whether he is describing the foibles of his Arab family or a dervish ceremony, and Damascus proves herself more fascinating than the myth which surrounds her name."
