Thomas Dover, 1600-1742, [
i.e. “1660”--
Ed.] English physician, whose name is misprinted
Dovar on the title-page of his book. Four editions of this work were published in 1733, and the seventh edition in 1762. Dover
is chiefly famous as the finder of Alexander Selkirk on Juan Fernandez, on February 2, 1709, whilst captain of the
Duke on a privateering expedition round the world, and as the originator of Dover’s Powder.
Augustin Belloste, 1654-1730, French surgeon. The first edition of his
Traité sur les effets du mercure
appeared as a supplement to his
Suite du Chirugien d’Hôpital
.
Alexander Selkirk, 1676-1721, the prototype of Robinson Crusoe, was of Scottish birth. In 1703 he joined Captain Dampier’s privateering expedition to the South Seas [see no. 4145]. Selkirk was on the Cinque Ports, Captain Thomas Stradling in command, when it put into Juan Fernandez in September 1704. Owing to a quarrel with Stradling, Selkirk remained on the island, until January 1709, when he was rescued by Captain Woodes Rogers on the Duke, with Dampier on board as the pilot. In addition to Robinson Crusoe, Selkirk was the hero of Cowper’s Lines on Solitude, beginning "I am monarch of all I survey."

Jefferson purchased a copy from
Froullé on December 8, 1788, 17 vol. rel. price
30. One volume was later missing, for his catalogue entry originally called for 17 volumes, changed in ink to 16. The entry on the undated manuscript catalogue is 17 vol.
Only 16 volumes were sold to Congress, and of these one was missing at the time of the sale, and never recovered. The 1815
catalogue calls for 16 v. 12mo, with
1 vol. missing written in ink in the working copy when the books were checked. This one volume is entered in the manuscript list of books
missing from the Library of Congress made after 1815. The 1831 and later catalogues call for 15 volumes only.
