London, Argonaut Press, 1931. 4to. XXXV, 311p., 4 folding maps. Orig. blindstamped red and vellum coloured cloth with gilt lettered spine - untrimmed. = This is a reprint of the 1729 edition, edited by N.M. Penzer, in a limited edition of 975 copies on Japon Vellum, this is copy number 511. It is the 11th publ. of the Argonaut Press containing the supplement to the Voyage round the World, The Campeachy Voyages, The Discourse of Winds, Storms, Seasons, Tides, and Currents in the Torrid Zone. The maps show the Streights of Malacca and the Bay of Campechy, the other 2 are maps showing "A view of the General & Coasting Trade-winds in the Atlantic & Indian Oceans" and "A view of the General & Coasting Trade-winds in the great South Ocean". A near mint copy of this scarce publication. Often the binding of this limited edition is mistakingly described as half vellum, but even though it looks like vellum, it is simply a fine vellum look alike in off-white cloth. Surprisingly rare.
