Description:
T. N. Longman and O. Rees. 8vo, two volumes in one. Half title, hand coloured frontis, xvi, 222 pp and folding map. Volume 2, 299 pp., including 7 pp. description of the map, two hand coloured plates and 4 pp. ads. Rebound in calf backed marbled boards with gilt label and decorations to the spine. New end papers. Pages browned with some offsetting to the title page. "One of the cleverest volumes of fabricated travels ever produced. The details are so circumstantial, and the mixture of fact and fiction is accomplished with so much skill, that it is not uncommon to find people who do not know that the account of the travels is nothing more than a well-contrived literary deception. Much of the compilation is evidently based on Le Vaillant, as far as South Africa is concerned, and the author quotes liberally from his works, and is bold enough to contradict some of the statements contained in these volumes. He gives a particularly minute description of the "labia pudendi" (which is such a peculiar… Read More

Description:
Plate no. 25 - Hottentot: from Sketches Representing the Native Tribes, Animals and Scenery of Southern Africa. Samuel died in Ceylon in 1811. After his death, his brother William obtained a number of sketches Samuel had done on an earlier expedition into the interior with Dr. Sommerville and Mr. John Barrow. William added: "He has merely to add with respect to the engravings, that he has endeavored to transfuse into them the spirit of the originals by a process which appeared to him best calculated for the attainment of that object." It is a most beautiful and sensitive work. One can well believe that William had not intruded himself but has indeed kept "the spirit of the originals."' Daniell's sketches are now highly regarded as an early and sympathetic record of African life.
