I have here for sale a beautifully bound book entitled AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION OF THE GLOBE AND THE PROGRESS OF DISCOVERY IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN from the Voyage of Magellan to the Death of Captain Cook.  2 plates (one a portrait of Cook and the other a fold-out facsimile of Cook's Observations on the Transit of Venus) and 21 in-text engravings.  Second edition published by Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh in 1837.  Book used to be the property of the Edinburgh Literary Institute so a couple of stamps, one to each of the plates and one to the last page.  

Full green leather  with 4 raised bands to the spine, 2 encasing the title lettering and 2 encasing the year of publication at the base.  Brown leather title and year blocks with gilt lettering.  Marbled endpapers and gilt page edges all round.  In fine condition.  Housed in a salmon pink cloth slipcase which has a couple of small rips.  496 pages, 17 x 11 cm.
