PURCHAS, Samuel (ca 1575-1626). Purchas his Pilgrimes. In five bookes . London: William Stansby for Henrie Fetherstone, 1625. -- Purchase his Pilgrimage . London: William Stansby for Henrie Fetherstone, 1626. Together 5 volumes (the supplemental Pilgrimage comprising the fifth volume), 2 o (336 x 218mm.). Engraved additional title to vol. I, 88 engraved maps (7 double-page or folding, 81 half-page in the text), numerous illustrations, mostly woodcut, but some engraved; blank R4 and first blanks in vols. III and IV present. (Vol. I: marginal chip on L6, hole on 3N4 affecting a few letters; Vol. II: hole on 5P affecting some letters; Vol. III: tear on 4G5 crossing text and old marginal repair; Vol. IV: chip on margin of 5Z6 with associated tear crossing shoulder note, tiny hole on 6B6 affecting a few letters, 7E5 with tear crossing text; Vol. V: I4 with short tear crossing text map and old marginal repair, marginal chip on X41, 2L2 with slight adhesion damage to some letters, some minor dampstaining.) Uniformly bound in 17th-century reddish-brown goatskin, spines gilt, sides with double-gilt fillet border surrounding small central gilt medallion portrait within a wreath. Provenance : William Ord. (stencil on front pastedowns). PURCHAS'S IMPORTANT COLLECTION OF TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION NARRATIVES FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE RECENT ACCOUNTS OF JOHN SMITH IN A NEAR CONTEMPORARY GOATSKIN BINDING FIRST EDITION of Purchas his Pilgrimes , with engraved title-page in first state dated 1624, the map of Virginia in vol. IV in Verner's 8th state, and with the fourth edition of the Pilgrimage , issued concurrently as a supplement. "This great geographical collection is a continuation and enlargement of Hakluyt's The Principal Navigations . At the death of Hakluyt there was left a large collection of voyages in manuscript which came into the hands of Purchas, who added to them many more voyages and travels... Purchas followed the general plan of Hakluyt, but he frequently put the accounts into his own words... The main divisions of the work fall into two parts: the first covering the world known to Ptolemy, the second coming down to Purchas' own day. This fine collection includes the accounts of Cortés and Pizarro, Drake, Cavendish, John and Richard Hawkins Quiros, Magellan, van Noort, Spilbergen, and Barents, as well as the categories of Portugese voyages to the East Indies, Jesuit voyages to China and Japan, East India Company voyages, and the expeditions of the Muscovy Company" (Hill). The fourth edition of Pilgrimage usually forms the fifth or supplemental volume, and is considered the best edition. First published in 1613, it gives Purchas's accounts of the various religions encountered throughout the world. A VERY FINE TALL SET IN A NEAR CONTEMPORARY GOATSKIN BINDING. Alden & Landis 625/173; Arents 158; Borba de Moraes II, pp.692-693; Church 401A; JCB (3) II:196-197; Hill 1403; Sabin 66682-66686; STC 20509 and 20508.5. (5)
