ISERT, Paul Erdmann. Reis na Guinea en de Caribische eilanden in Columbien. Uit het Hoogduitsch. Dordrecht, De Leeuw en Kraf, 1790.Contemporary half calf, spine gilt (top of spine sl. dam.). With 2 engraved plates. VIII,418 pp. First Dutch edition; first published in Copenhagen in 1788 Reise nach Guinea und den Caribäischen Inseln in Colombien. - In twelve letters Paul Erdmann Isert (1756-1789), describes his voyage from Copenhagen to the Gold Coast and gives an account of the Danish settlements and considerable details of the customs of the natives. In 1786, he describes the voyage from Africa to the Danish West Indies with a cargo of 452 blacks who rose against the whites on the second day at sea, with a resulting loss of 34 of their number and 2 of the crew wounded after a heated battle. He gives good descrptions of St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John, Guadeloupe and Martinique. The complete round trip took four years. The book is a source work and, because of being one of the few accounts of a person actually making the Guinea voyage and because of the sensational nature of its contents, it has been heavily drawn on by writers on the slave traffic for nearly a century and a half (Ragatz p. 226). He was the first European explorer of Ashanti and is also known for his attempts to end the Danish-Norwegian slave trade. Cat. NHSM I, p.140 (later ed.); Cardinall 397; Sabin 35245; Cf.
