Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. FROM THE LIBRARY OF ROCKWELL KENT. London: William Crooke, 1684. Second edition in English AND London: William Crooke, 1685. First edition. Quarto (8 7/16" x 6 1/4", 214mm x 159mm). Exquemelin: with 9 engraved plates, of which 3 are folding; and 1 engraved head-piece and two wood-cuts in-line with the text. Ringrose: With 16 engraved plates, of which 14 are integral to the text, and 2 folding. Lacking the front-matter (A4-a4: title, blank, 13pp. to the reader, errata). Bound (re-backed) in later diced calf, with two sets of gilt fillets to the boards, with gilt corner-ornaments and scroll-work. On the spine, 6 panels. Title gilt to red sheep in the second panel. Author ("Esquemeling") gilt to brown sheep in the fourth panel. Date ("1684") gilt to the tail. Gilt inside dentelles. Grey end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Re-backed., with the corners rebuilt and bumped. Worn at the extremities, with a loss and tear to the calf of the upper edge of the back board. Lacking the front matter (8 leaves) of the Ringrose. Damp-stain to the upper spine-corner of the text-block, mostly mild but becoming moderate toward the end of the volume. Crudely-repaired stub-tear to the folding map of the Americas. Mild even tanning throughout, with the odd spot of foxing and soiling. Bookplate of Frances and Rockwell Kent atop another bookplate, as well as that of Sally and Rockwell Kent, to the front paste-down. Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin (ca. 1645-1707), called John Esquemeling in the title, published his account of privateering -- that is, acting as a government-sanctioned private sailor, used to attack, harass and raid enemies of that government -- in 1678 as De Americaensche Zee-roovers ("The American sea-robbers). It was translated into Spanish in 1681, which in turn was the basis of the English edition, first published in 1684. The popular imagination, of course, has a different term for Exquemelin and his Caribbean brethren: pirates. Exquemelin's tale of swashbuckling -- swaggering with a small shield (from French "bouclier") -- ignited the public imagination about the New World perhaps more than any other work besides The Tempest. In a period in which the Spanish and Dutch were near constant enemies of the British, Bucaniers is a curious success. The account of Sir Henry Morgan, whose portrait is the frontispiece of part I, brought libel claims for its sensational claims of rape, torture and other malfeasance. Accusations of inaccuracy, as ever, served only to excite public interest in the work. The first edition sold well enough to spark a second in the same year. The year following a "fourth part" -- a separate work by Basil Ringrose -- was published, and is generally included with the second edition, as here. Ringrose's account carries into the Pacific, describing sorties made under Captain Bartholomew Sharpe. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was one of America's great artists. Although deeply tied to the Transcendentalism of New England, his own style was modern. He became renowned as a book illustrator -- most famously of Melville's Moby-Dick -- as well as the preeminent designer of bookplates in the first quarter of the XXc. Kent was also an avid sailor and explorer in his own right; his adventures in Alaska, the Straits of Magellan, Greenland and elsewhere were published throughout his life. It is fitting, therefore, that this foundational text of adventures on the High Seas should be in his library. The two bookplates (designed, naturally, by Kent) date from two of his marriages: first to Frances (née Lee) 1926-1940 and then to Sally (born Shirley Johnston) 1941-1971.

Vol. II: repaired loss to the upper margin of the title-leaf, with some creasing. Hole to D1. Tear to the upper edge of V1. V2.3 still joined at the spine-edge, with some attendant tearing. Marginal tanning and occasional spots of foxing or soiling. [Full account of ownership marks available.] Ownership signature of "R. Graves. Hosp. Lincoln. 1697." to p. 20 (D2v) to both volumes. "IoHn NovaL His BooK/ 1701" to the front paste-down of vol. II. Armorial escutcheon with motto of Bisset of Aberdeen cut out and mounted to the verso of the title-page of both volumes. Armorial bookplate of Arthur & Elizabeth Holdsworth of Widdicomb to the front paste-down of vol. I, rear paste-down of vol. II. Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin (ca. 1645-1707) published his account of privateering -- that is, acting as a government-sanctioned private sailor, used to attack, harass and raid enemies of that government -- in 1678 as De Americaensche Zee-roovers ("The American sea-robbers). The popular imagination, of course, has a different term for Exquemelin and his Caribbean brethren: pirates. Exquemelin's tale of swashbuckling ignited the public imagination about the New World perhaps more than any other work besides The Tempest. In a period in which the Spanish and Dutch were near constant enemies of the British, Bucaniers is a curious success. The account of Sir Henry Morgan, whose portrait faces p. 60 of vol. I, brought libel claims for its sensational claims of rape, torture and other malfeasance. The first edition sold well enough to spark a second in the same year. The year following a "fourth part" - Ringrose's account -- was published. The earliest ownership mark is that of Richard Graves (1677-1729) "the antiquary" of Mickleton in Gloucestershire. He signs as "Hosp. Lincoln." For "Hospitium Lincolniense," i.e., Lincoln's Inn, one of the four Inns of Court in London. Graves was admitted to the Inn on 21 October 1693. John Noval owned the set (although his ownership signature is only in vol. II) in 1701. Noval's name (a clerk, with a wife called Judith) appears in the lists of naturalized Protestant emigrés from 10 October 1688. The family whose escutcheon and motto ("tempus edax rerum" ("time, eater of things")) have been cut from a bookplate (?) and pasted to the verso of each title-page is Bisset of Aberdeen. Perhaps the volumes belonged to Charles Bisset (1717-1791), a physician and military engineer who worked in Jamaica and the West Indies as a naval surgeon in Admiral Vernon's fleet. Finally the set came into the library of Arthur Holdsworth (ca. 1757-1787), MP, of Widdicombe, Devon and his wife Elizabeth (née Holdsworth). The Holdsworth family of Dartmouth had long held the governorship of Dartmouth Castle, long a center for piracy and privateering -- especially against the French -- given its position on the English Channel.
