Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. Reprint. First published in 1840, this is a reprint edition of c. 1949 (no date of publication). No jacket, blue cloth boards with gilt titling, slightly worn and bumped, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg reading copy. 326pp. While an undergraduate at Harvard College, Dana (1815-820), later an American lawyer and anti slavery campaigner, had an attack of the measles which affected his vision. Thinking it might help his sight, Dana left Harvard to enlist as a common sailor on a voyage around Cape Horn on the brig Pilgrim. He returned to Massachusetts two years later aboard the Alert. Dana kept his diary of the voyage, not to publish as an adventure, but to highlight how poorly common seaman were treated, it became an instant best seller. To this day the book is regarded as a valuable historical resource and has hardly ever been out of print.

Edition originale
Boston: Charles C. Little & James Brown, and James Loring & Co.; New York: Dayton & Saxton, and E. & G.W. Blunt; Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, (1841). First edition (BAL 4435). Original full leather, leather spine label lettered in gilt, spine ruled in gilt, illustrated with 5 plates. With the elaborate ownership stamp of Russell Sturgis on the title, a later signature on a flyleaf, dated 1878, and a pencil drawing of a sailing ship (The Agnes) on the rear pastedown. This is likely the sea-faring Russell Sturgis (1805-1887), born to a family of merchants in the China trade. After several voyages and residencies in the East, and after the death of his wife, in 1844 he retired to Boston to care for his children. After re-marrying he decided, in 1851, to return to the East and steamed for England on the first leg of the voyage. He arrived too late for the connecting steamer, and while waiting in London was offered a partnership by the senior member of Barings Bank. He accepted, eventually became the head of the firm, and never returned to the United States (Wikipedia). Leather worn, front joint separating about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Label chipped with loss of two letters the last "s" in Seaman's and the "d" in Friend. Some damp-staining of the paper near the front and the back. Some gatherings loosening. A Good copy.
