Description
An account of the resource
William Adams (1564-1620) was the first Englishman to reach Japan, arriving on a Dutch ship at Bungo (a principality containing present day Usuki City) in May 1600. After a summons by the Emperor at Osaka, imprisonment and interrogation, he was released. The Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu took a liking to Adams and he eventually became an important trade adviser and interpreter. A status and name change from Adams the English sea pilot to Miura Anjin the samurai enabled him to marry a Japanese woman and reside on a large estate at Hemi, near Yokosuka. His first communication to his European wife and friends was in 1611 where he noted: "The people of this Island of Japan are Good of Nature, courteous above Measure, and Valiant in War ...". His account of Japanese life was first published in Purchas his Pilgrimes (1625) the account in Harris is a later printing. James Clavell's novel Shogun (1975) was based loosely on Adams' life and adventures.

Title
A name given to the resource
Sheet music of World War I
Description
An account of the resource
Sheet music relating to WWI (1914-1918)
Hocken Collections' sheet music relating to The Great War of 1914-1918 (WWI) is a select group of (mostly) local songs illustrating the development of attitudes to war. From patriotic, supportive songs that celebrate war efforts, to sombre words and melodies that describe loss and anguish, the music reminds us that war affected all areas of life.
Ideas of nationhood and identity in song further emerged during times of war. Loyalty to the Empire, and national patriotism peaked during wartime; emerging songs both inspired support for the war effort, and emphasised New Zealand's allegiance to their mother country of Great Britain.
New Zealand songs of the First World War have, to an extent, been lost – they are not performed widely, nor have they been recorded for a modern audience. They are sparsely documented, and often, the names of both lyricist and composer have been forgotten - over time the music was discarded or abandoned.
Little information is found on local music around wartime, though early newspapers often had short snippets or advertising about war-era music. Therefore, little information on the sheets is held at Hocken Collections, and often no firm date of publication is available. Regardless, the WWI sheet music collection is significant as it documents the local sentiment of the era.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Horn Scientific Expedition to Central Australia, 1894. The Horn party set off from Adelaide by train in May, 1894 and travelled to Oodnadatta, about 1000 kilometres north of Adelaide. Once there they climbed upon their camels and embarked on their three month expedition. William Austin Horn (1841-1922), leader of the expedition, a farmer, mining magnate and politician, was accompanied by five scientists, ‘two Afghan and two European camel-drivers, two collectors, two prospectors, one aboriginal black tracker, and one cook, making sixteen in all, with twenty-six camels and two horses’ (Horn, Introduction). The party collected and described new species of mammals and fish, made geological, botanical and anthropological observations and some of the party even managed to make a visit to Uluru or Ayers Rock.

<em>Anas chlorotis</em> - Brown Teal
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Led by Captain Sir James Clark Ross, this voyage was the last sail-only expedition. The well-provisioned ships set sail from Chatham in Kent, England on the 29th September, 1839 and took a very circuitous route to the South Pole, visiting many islands in the Atlantic on the way and Australia and New Zealand. The main aim of the expedition was to find the magnetic South Pole and to ‘collect the various objects of Natural History’ (Joseph Dalton Hooker,<em> Summary of the Voyage</em>, volume 1 supplement). The voyagers saw their first iceberg at the end of December, 1840 and reached the edge of the icepack on the 3rd of January, 1841. The Ross Sea is named for Captain Ross and Mount Erebus in Antarctica was named after the lead ship. The expedition made several voyages into the Antarctic region in the subsequent southern summers and returned to England on the 4th September, 1843.

Rare Delights III: Recent Additions to Special Collections. Online Exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The rare book collection in Special Collections at the University of Otago grows - slowly and surely - by purchase and donation. With these new acquisitions Special Collections aims to build on the strengths of the collection such as those traditional collecting fields of 18th century literature, garden history, art and architecture, travel, and works by and about John Evelyn, John Locke, and the English poet Robert Graves.
Over time new areas of collecting have come to the fore, in particular ‘popular culture’ items in the guise of pulp fiction and science fiction (SF). In 2010, Professor Fred Fastier gifted his entire SF Collection to Special Collections. Since then holdings in this field have grown considerably with the acquisition of the Hal Salive SF Collection, some 2400 titles kindly donated by Rachel Salive, and a near complete run of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, donated by Trevor Agnew. ‘Pulps’ continue to be acquired as too the works by the Dunedin-born artist John Buckland Wright. Other books have been acquired because of their historical significance or because they fill a visible gap in the existing collection. Brief examples here include French language works by Racine and Corneille, and Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1780)
It is by no means true that all rare books are old books. Recent purchases include important modern works that complement the older material. By this means Special Collections will continue to house significant examples of printing and publishing into the next century, will continue to provide an important forum for original research, and will retain its position as an important University-based rare book collection in New Zealand. These volumes are a selection of titles added to Special Collections between 2008 and 2013. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Special Collections is not strong in its holdings of 19th century literature; that period not being the focus of collecting by Esmond de Beer (mainly 17 and 18th centuries) or Charles Brasch (mainly 20th century Moderns). It is important to boost our holdings, and so when an important or seminal work is advertised through a catalogue or a dedicated book-site (abebooks.com; bookfinder.com), every attempt is made to secure it. This most recent addition is the 3rd edition of Lord Byron’s first great success, a satire originally written in response to the scathing notice of his <em>Hours of Idleness</em> in the <em>Edinburgh Review</em> for January 1808. It was once owned by an Irishman called William La Touche.

From the pontificate of Boniface VIII to that of John XXII (1316-34), it was revised and attained unquestioned authority, despite the increase in the already large number of misconceptions and errors.

Rome: Eucharius Silber
Eucharius Silber (fl. 1480-1510) was a German who established an early press in Rome where he became a leading printer. He published many original works, some in Italian, and issued a fine Roman Missal in 1488. The business was continued from 1510 to 1527 by Marcellus Silber.

Rome: Stephan Plannck
The first book containing Stephan Plannck or Planck's name was the Roman Missal finished on 5 March 1482 (Hain *11377), although he was printing a few years prior to this (See BMC III, p.80). Plannck became a leading printer in Rome, and had the distinction of printing in 1493 the first printed European description of the people and places in America by Columbus.

Title

Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

Abel Janszoon Tasman & The Discovery of New Zealand
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1942 poet Allen Curnow was commissioned by the Department of Internal Affairs to write a poem to mark the tercentenary (13 December, 1942) of Abel Tasman’s arrival in New Zealand. On finishing the poem, he took it to Douglas Lilburn, who promptly put music to the poem, which was called Landfall in Unknown Seas. Charles Brasch’s literary journal <i>Landfall</i> was named after the poem. This signed presentation copy from Denis Glover to Curnow reveals a misplaced line in the second stanza of this now iconic New Zealand poem.

Abel Janszoon Tasman’s Journal of His Discovery of Van Diemen’s Land and New Zealand in 1642
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1642, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman left Batavia (now Jakarta), found Van Dieman’s Land (Tasmania), and then sailed into New Zealand (‘Staten Landt’) waters. After sighting the coast near Punakaiki on the west of the South Island on 13 December 1642), Tasman sailed up the coast before rounding Farewell Spit, to anchor in what is now Golden Bay. There the first recorded meeting of Maori and European took place, resulting in conflict and loss of life on both sides. The contours above represent one of the earliest images of New Zealand: a coastal view of ‘Klippige Hoek’ (Rocky Point), later named Cape Foulwind by Cook in 1770. Dr Hocken purchased this facsimile direct from the publisher, Müller.

Rose de Freycinet to Miss E. Ashburne, Paris, 1824
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In November-December 1819 L’Uranie was in Sydney, where the Freycinets met Governor Macquarie. His death in 1824 prompted Rose de Freycinet to write from Paris to Miss E. Ashburne: ‘We were led to judge the goodness of his character on several occasions; he is one of those men whose death is regretted & felt by all those who had the good fortune to know him; his widow & his son are to be greatly pitied, for nothing can bring consolation for such a loss!’ She also makes reference to the voyage of L’Uranie, envying the journey Ashburne had recently made to Scotland. It was something she wished to do, rather than visit ‘the wild Sandwich [Islands]’ – that is, Hawaii – and ‘the cloud-covered rocks of Cape Horn!!’ This signed letter was found by Dr Roger Collins in the A. H. Reed Autograph Letters and Manuscript Collection at Dunedin Public Library.

A Woman of Courage: The Journal of Rose de Freycinet On Her Voyage Around the World (1817-1820)
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rose de Freycinet (1794–1832) was smuggled on board L’Uranie because she could not bear to be separated from her husband. This was in flagrant disregard of regulations which forbade female passengers on French naval vessels. Dressed in male clothing, in itself scandalous behaviour, she made herself public to the crew once the vessel was well out of sight of the French coast. Although not the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, she was the first to keep a diary of her experiences. It was first published in French in 1926. This is the first English translation edition.

A Curious Collection of Voyages. Vol. 9
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On leaving Juan Fernández Islands, Jacob Roggeveen (sometimes Roggewein) sailed west-northwest and on Easter Sunday, 5 April 1722, spied islands which he named Paasch Eyland (Easter Island). After investigating the large stone idols (for which it is now famous) and making contact with locals – not without friction and causing some deaths – the expedition proceeded west, sighting Bora Bora and Maupiti of the Society Islands and most of the Samoan islands. Roggeveen, the last important Dutch explorer in Polynesia, returned to the Dutch East India post of Jepara (on today’s Java) on September 10, 1722. This image portrays two very ‘fashionable’ locals from Easter Island.

Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.
Scientific expeditions began with Bougainville and Cook, each aided by the improvements in navigational equipment, and with institutional backing that employed a full contingent of artists, draughtsmen and botanists to help record and collect.
Cook travelled hundreds of miles throughout the Pacific in the course of his three voyages. By the time of his death in 1779, the map of the Pacific was practically as it is now. It is no wonder that La Pérouse (1785) once said: ‘Cook had left me nothing but to admire.’
Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

The Cook’s ‘Resolution’ medal
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Two thousand bronze (or brass) medals were struck in England for Cook to distribute to local people in various places during the second voyage of discovery. Forster’s ‘medals’ in his Voyage Round the World (1777) may be a reference to these tangible relics associated with the great navigator. This bronze medal was found at Murderers’ Beach (now Whareakeake), and later gifted to the Otago Museum by the Thomson family in 1925.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Malaspina’s Expedition’ (as it was called) entered the Pacific on 13 November and stopped at Talcahuano, the port of Concepción in present-day Chile, and again at Valparaíso, the port of Santiago. These were convenient havens for the re-stocking of water and food. Not only did he make accurate records of the West coast of North America, but he confirmed the location of the Juan Fernández Islands, and surveyed Nootka Sound (Canada) even better than Cook. While in the North Pacific, Malaspina experimented with conifer needles to make beer. The endpapers track the proposed and actual expedition.

Brigadier Alejandro Malaspina, from The Malaspina Expedition, 1789-1794: The Journal of the Voyage by Alejandro Malaspina. Vol. I
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On Malaspina’s return to Spain, he was implicated in a conspiracy to overthrow the government. Stripped of rank, jailed and eventually exiled, much of what was generated by the expedition – 300 journals, 450 albums of astronomical data, 1500 hydrographic reports, 183 charts, and his 7 volume account – was not published until many years later. Some material was lost. The definitive version of Malaspina’s account was published between 1987 and 1999. It is no wonder that Alexander von Humboldt, an admirer of Malaspina, wrote: ‘this able navigator is more famous for his misfortunes than for his discoveries.’

The Malaspina Expedition, 1789-1794: The Journal of the Voyage by Alejandro Malaspina. Vol. II
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1788, Alejandro Malaspina, an Italian-born officer in the Spanish navy, suggested to the Ministry of Marine a voyage of discovery to rival those of Cook and La Pérouse. With naturalists, scientists and artists, he left Cadiz in July 1789 with two purpose-built corvettes, Descubierta and Atrevida. It was a five-year expedition, exploring and mapping much of the West coast of the Americas, the Gulf of Alaska, and then across the Pacific to Guam and the Philippines, and then New Zealand, Australia and Tonga. Malaspina spent several months in Manila, carrying out astronomical observations and hydrographic surveying. On display is the annotated Hakluyt Society English edition of 2001-2004.

Other voyages of exploration then followed, including those commanded by Malaspina (1789), d’Entrecasteaux (1791), Kotzebue (1815-18; 1825-26), Freycinet (1817-20), Dumont d’Urville, and the later United States Exploring Expedition.
The exhibition ‘Charting the Land on the Ocean: Pacific Exploration, 1520-1876’ features books and maps found in the Hocken Collections, the Science Library and Special Collections, University of Otago. Although the exhibition is by necessity selective, three goals are paramount: to highlight through their publications the brave endeavours of these explorers; to reveal the steady charting of the Pacific; and to remind everyone that these resources do exist, and can be viewed, touched, read, and enjoyed.

History of Alexander Selkirk, Mariner
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘William Dampier became the most important explorer before Cook to sustain the nation’s [Great Britain] interest in the south Pacific’ (Joel Baer, ODNB). This buccaneer-cum-pirate, who circumnavigated the globe three times, wrote books about his travels that had an enormous influence on the English reading public. In August 1704, Dampier was in the Pacific when Captain Stradling, commander of the Cinque Ports, put ashore Alexander Selkirk on Juan Fernández. In February 1709, Dampier returned to the island as Woodes Roger’s pilot on the Duke. There they found Selkirk, alive and well. Selkirk’s tale of the four years and four months he spent marooned was immortalized in Daniel Defoe’s <i>Robinson Crusoe</i> (1719).

Description
An account of the resource
On 28 November 1520, Magellan sailed through the straits that would bear his name into the great expansive waters he dubbed ‘Mar Pacifico’. His venture opened up the exploration of the southern seas, a vast tract of water with numerous islands dotted about, most uncharted. Politically and commercially-driven expeditions then began that put shape to continents and the (re-) discovery of these islands. Notable first explorers included Mendaña de Neira, Sir Francis Drake, Abel Tasman, William Dampier, Samuel Wallis and Philip Carteret; the latter two discovering Tahiti and Pitcairn respectively.

‘Samples of Polynesian Cloth from the South Seas Islands Once Owned by Captain Cook’
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
One of the curiosities taken back to England by Cook was a collection of tapa cloth specimens, which eventually became collectible. These strongly associated Cook items are from Bruce Godward’s extensive book collection that was given to the Hocken Library in 1991.

Title
A name given to the resource
The British Navigator: Containing An Account of Voyages Round The World. Vol. 4.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1766, Samuel Wallis left England in the Dolphin to find the notoriously elusive ‘Southern Continent’. He re-discovered Tahiti, which had actually been seen by de Quirós in 1606 but forgotten. He then went on to the Society and Wallis Islands. Wallis was the first European to enjoy the hospitality of Tahiti (which he named after King George III), and his account was so glowing that many later voyagers made a direct line for this pleasure-isle. Wallis’s sentiments are reiterated in this small format edition of The British Navigator: ‘this island is …one of the most pleasant in the universe.’
