London, printed for Dan. Brown, a.o., 1704.Contemporary panelled calf (hinges splitting but holding). With engraved folding plate showing the 'Formosan Alphabet' (with tear), and 15 (of 16) engraved plates showing costumes, money, buildings, boats etc.(margin of folding plate of the funeral sl. dam.; plate 12 missing as often and map missing) XIV,(56),327,(9) pp.First edition. - One of the most fantastic literary forgeries of all times. Psalmanazar (N.F.B. de Rodes ?), a native from the south of France, led the life of an adventurer. Being instructed by Jesuit tutors in the history and geography of Japan he pretended to be a native of Japan, under influence of chaplain William Innes, to render the story more plausible, this was changed into being a native of Formosa. In London he attracted at once popular interest. Psalmanazar invented his own 'Formosan' language etc., and he wrote his fictitious narration. What was not due to his own imagination he borrowed from the accounts of Varenius and Candidius. Doubt at once arose over the authenticity of his narrative, and after Innes was sent as chaplain-general to the English forces in Portugal, he felt incompetent to sustain his imposture unaided. (D.N.B.). 'Its lurid descriptions of polygamy, human sacrifice, cannibalism and infanticide caused a sensation. Allegedly written in Latin, then translated into English, it rapidly went through two editions, with a French translation at Amsterdam in 1705, and a German version at Frankfurt in 1716' (Howgego V, P35). - Age-browned.Alt-Japan-Katalog 1222; Cordier, B. S., col. 281-282; Cordier, B.J., col. 408; Lust 236; Löwendahl 290 (2nd edition); Hill 1398.

Description:
London, James Duncan, 1828.2 volumes. Later half green morocco, with red title-labels to spines. With engraved view of Bethelsdorp, folding map of South Africa (top missing), and sketch of the institution of the Theopolis. XXXV,403; VIII,450 pp.First edition. - Few books on South African matters have been the subject of such fierce denunciation and bitter criticisms as these volumes. The author proceeded to South Africa in the service of the London Missionary Society in 1819, and soon became a most drastic censor of the methods pursued towards the nativs by the colonists, and the policy of the colonial government with regard to native affairs. When the Researches in South Africa were published a large amount of public indignation was aroused, and the subject was brought before the Houses of Parliament, considerable changes in the administration of native affairs in South Africa being eventually brought about. The volumes afford considerable information respecting the natives and colonists in the first…

XXX,359; IV,456 pp.First edition; with bookplate of I. & F.W. Hosken. - An account of the Cape Colony from the earliest period of settlement down to the Kaffir War of 1876-7. The work is a critique of the British Government in the Cape and the original draft was, according to the author, rejected by several publishers on the grounds that it was too outspoken on the failures of its subject (Mendelssohn II, p.75). An expose of misgovernment at the Cape by the incumbent governor and this made publication of the work very difficult. An uncommon work.- Added an autograph letter by Napier. - Fine.SAB III, p.429.

(6),126,58 pp.Privately printed. - Dirk van Hogendorp (1761-1822), the most adventurous descendant of the famous Van Hogendorp family, was a VOC servant who wanted to break the monopoly of the Company.

He finally won his case. - This is a collection of 22 pieces written by Dirk van Hogendorp or letters directed to him. - Scarce.Landwehr, VOC, 1042; Cat. KITLV p.65; Cat. NHSM I, p.509.

He travelled extensively along the Malabar coast. In 1673 he left the employment of the company and started a private medical practice in Damao, at that time a Portuguese colony. Six months later, early in 1674, he was arrested by the Inquisition and taken to Goa, where he was imprisoned for two years. He was then shipped to Lisbon, but released in the following year on condition that he should return immediately to France. .. It proved a considerable success, particularly in Protestant Europe, where it ran to numerous editions. Although long regarded purely as a work of propaganda, recent research has testified to its accuracy (Howgego p.304/305). ' Dellon's description of the…
