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
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.
