PORTER, DAVID. Journal of a Cruise Made to the Pacific Ocean... Second Edition. Folding map, 7 plates and a folding table; lacks the portrait frontispiece. 2 volumes in one. 8vo, modern dyed calf; browned and foxed. New York, 1822
- Notes: Captain Porter's sailing on the U.S.S. Essex during the War of 1812 was the first American naval expedition to the Pacific. The First Edition of 1815 is quite rare. "[The 1822 edition is] the only complete edition, generally regarded as the best one. The new introduction adds much information of importance and interest"--Hills 1373; Sabin 64219; Forbes, Hawaiian National Bibliography 558; Howes P484.
