NORTH WEST COAST RARITY DIXON, GEORGE. Remarks on the Voyages of John Meares, Esq. in a letter to that Gentleman. 37, [4] pages, including publisher's ads in the rear. Small folio, later 1/2 calf, minor area of staining to the front cover; ex-library, with bookplate removed. London, 1790
- Notes: Written in response to Meares's 1790 account of a voyage to the North West Coast of America, Dixon vehemently disagreed with Meares's depiction of his actions and the region. The work set off a series of printed letters between the two, all of great scarcity. Only one copy of Dixon's Remarks has come to auction in the last 20 years. Howes D364; Sabin 20361.
