Author William Funnel was the first mate to Dampier and wrote a first-hand account of all the encounters and discoveries on Dampier’s voyage. This voyage, which circumnavigated the world, was initiated with the intents of pirating Spanish ships for their role in the War of Spanish Succession. Unfortunately for Dampier, mutiny was afoot and he was marooned at Amapalla Bay. Funnell completed the voyage for Dampier and published this exceedingly rare and valuable account of the voyage. This 1707 first edition features stunning folding maps and full-page illustrations. The map of the Gulf of Amapalla is especially desirable.

Schilb packaged the two-volume Bible carefully in bubble wrap and secured the texts in the shipping container with paper to prevent movement.

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
