TURNBULL, John (fl. 1800-1813)
A Voyage Round the World, in the Years 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803, and 1804; in Which the Author Visited the Principal Islands in the Pacific Ocean and the English Settlements of Port Jackson and Norfolk Island. London: Printed for Richard Phillips for T. Gillet, 1805.
First edition. Turnbull and his partner, John Buyers, aware of the lucrative fur trade along the northwest coast of America, purchased and outfitted the Margaret and set out for America in 1800. They arrived in Sydney in 1801 and stayed at the Society Islands. On 17 December 1802, the ship arrived at the Hawaiian Islands, where it remained until 21 January 1803. Their speculation in the fur trade proved unsuccessful, and the voyage turned out to be a financial failure, yet Turnbull provided much interesting information about the islands of the Pacific, including Tonga and New Zealand. Ferguson 421; Forbes I, 367; Hill 1725.
3 volumes, 12mo (165 x 95mm). With final blanks in vols I and II, 4pp ads at end of vol. III (some occasional light spotting and staining, heavier to B8 in vol. I and to margins at end of vol. II, small stain with light abrasion in imprint of title of vol. I). Modern calf, antique style, covers panelled in blind, gilt spines, 19th-century marbled endpapers Provenance: John Lisle Junior (washed and therefore faint ink ownership inscriptions dated 18 March 1810 on titles) – Agustin Edwards (library booklabel).
