Sobre este item
First Edition. 8vo, Publisher's boards, untrimmed, re-backed with portion of original title label laid on, housed in cloth portfolio, slipcase with title in gilt to spine, xvi, 144p. Published by Edwards and Knibb (London), 1820.
The boards a little marked and rubbed, a few very light spots internally. A very good copy.
This work provides an account of the land journey in South Africa between the Keiskama and Beka rivers to the capital, Cape town. This work was first published in 1798 under an alternative title, "Narrative Of The Loss Of The Ship Hercules, Commanded By Captain Benjamin Stout", with 1820 being the first time it was re-published under a new title. The two bibliographies for this work (Mendelssohn and Teal) disagree with the work's title.
This copy contains the Bookplate of Colonel Sir Michael R. Shaw-Stewart, to the front pastedown. Sir Michael R. Shaw Stewart (1826-1903) was a Conservative MP from 1855-1865, and a British Baronet, son of Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, and therefore the 7th Baronet. He was married to Lady Octavia Grosvenor, the sixth daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Westminster. (Times Newspaper Obituary, 11 December 1903, p.6.)
