LOCKE, John (1632-1704), his copy. SCHOUTEN, Willem Corneliszoon. Journal ou Relation exacte du voyage dans les Indes: Par un nouveau destroit, & par les grandes Mers Australes qu’il a descouvert, vers le Pole Antartique . Paris: Martin Gobert (text) and Melchior Tavernier (maps), 1618. John Locke’s copy with his signature and notation on the title-page . Locke’s signature includes the notation “b”, which, according to Harrison and Laslett ( The Library of John Locke ), was an inventory mark put into books acquired in or around 1697; the note is not found in any books acquired after that date. An additional note at the foot of the title-page indicates that this was a duplicate copy of this work. The first French edition of Schouten’s popular account of his voyage with Jacob Le Maire in search of the unknown southern continent, which was translated in French, German, Latin, and English within a year of the first Dutch edition. Schouten’s landmark voyage was only the third circumnavigation, “during which Cape Horn was discovered and rounded for the first time” (Hill). Octavo (168 x 110 mm). Folding engraved map of the world in two hemispheres with portraits of Magellan, Schouten, and others, 3 folding engraved sea charts, 4 folding engraved plates. (E gathering mounted on stubs, supplied, a few small marginal wormholes, some just touching a few letters.) Contemporary flexible vellum, spine gilt-lettered (slightly soiled); brown quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance : John Locke (signature and inscription); Lord Lovelace, Ben Damph Forest in Torridon, sold privately to; Philip Robinson (sold Sotheby’s London, 23 June 1988, lot 88); David Parson (his sale, Sotheby’s New York, 11 December 2007, lot 88).
