SEWALL, JOHN S.

The Logbook of the Captain's Clerk: Adventures in the China Seas

Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1995. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full brown cloth, gilt lettering on spine, gilt medallion on cover, t.e.g. Profusely illustrated with Color and B&W maps, photographs and reproductions. These are the experiences of American sailor, minister and professor John Smith Sewall (1830-1911) aboard the warship U.S.Saratoga, later one of the "Black Ships" of Commodore Matthew Perry's Squadron sent to Japan (1853-1854). As a captain's clerk aboard the Saratoga from 1850-1854, Sewall logged the ship's daily activities. This book was written a half century later and includes Sewall's commentaries as well as references to later incidents. These were part of the American expeditions that culminated in the establishment of diplomatic and trade relations with Japan. Commodore Perry accepted the task of opening Japan to the West and succeeded, through meticulous planning, a show of force, and diplomatic skill. With the Treaty of Kanagawa, Perry set in motion the process whereby Western ideas and commerce eventually penetrated Japan.

TREVES, SIR FREDERICK

The Cradle of the Deep: An Account of a Voyage to the West Indies

NY: E. P. Dutton & Co, 1925. Eighth Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full red cloth, gilt lettering on spine and cover. Illustrated with 44 photographs and four maps. Sir Frederick Treves, 1st Baronet GCVO, CH, CB, FRCS (1853-1923) was a prominent British surgeon of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. An expert in anatomy, Treves was renowned for his surgical treatment of appendicitis, and is credited with saving the life of King Edward VII in 1902. He is also widely known for his friendship with Joseph Merrick, dubbed the "Elephant Man" for his severe deformities. Treves' ability as an author was discovered by Malcolm Morris of Cassell & Co. He wrote many books, including The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences (1923), Surgically Applied Anatomy (1883), The Highways and Byways of Dorset (the county in which he was born) (1906), A Student's Handbook of Surgical Operations (1892), Uganda for a Holiday, The Land That is Desolate, and The Cradle of the Deep (1908). This last volume is an account of his travels in the West Indies, interspersed with portions of their histories; describing (among other things) the death of Blackbeard the pirate, an eruption of Mount Pelée (which destroyed the city of St. Pierre, Martinique), and a powerful earthquake at Kingston, Jamaica, shortly before he landed there. Former owners' small label on fep and brief gift inscription on ffep, otherwise unmarked; covers and spine moderately soiled, edges mildly worn, else fine; all illustrations and text clean and bright.
