Modern red morocco, spine lettered in gilt. (8),80,(2) pp. Second edition, one of two editions printed in 1699, including a list of works by Southerne and Aphra Behn at the foot of the title. - Oroonoko was originally a short novel by Aphra Behn (1640-1689), published in 1688. It is one of the earliest English novels and one of the earliest by a woman. Dealing with the tragic love of its hero, an enslaved African in Surinam in the 1660s, and the author's own experiences in the colony. Her story was used by Thomas Southerne (1660-1746) for a tragedy, with a foreword in which Southerne expresses his gratitude to Behn and praises her work. The Epilogue was written by William Congreve. The play was a huge succes and continued to be played throughout the eighteenth century. 'Southerne changed the unalloyed tragedy into a split-plot tragicomedy. Besides adding a comic subplot - in which two London sisters seek husbands of fortune in Surinam- Southerne changed Imoinda's race from black to white; replaced lengthy digressions about Coramantien and Surinamese Indian society with a single comic subplot; allowed Oroonoko to kill the lieutenant governor, who lusts after Imoinda; and permitted Oronooko to kill himself at the end' (Rodriguez, Encyclopedia of world slavery, p.482). This dramatic adapton is significantly responsible for the anti-slavery forces. - (Scattered light browning and moderate foxing). - Very rare.Sabin 88520; European America IV, p.361; Suriname-Catalogus UB Amsterdam p.443 and Afro-Americana 9654 only later editions.

BENOIT, Pierre Jacques. Scènes de la vie américaine, description de la Guyane Hollandaise. Bruxelles, Bruylant-Christophe et Comp., (ca.1858).Folio. Original pictorial boards (spine half cloth). With 100 views and illustrations on 50 full-page lithographed plates, including the fine frontispiece, by Madou and Lauters after the author (margins browned as usual, not affecting the image). 96 pp. First published in 1839 with the title: Voyage a Surinam. - Benoit was born in 1782 in Antwerp and died in Brussels in 1854. His stay in Surinam was a private enterprise, probably in 1831. Judging from the many journeys he made into the interior and the time he spent among the Indians and Bush negroes and in the town of Paramaribo, he must have stayed in Surinam for many months. He does not refrain from pointing out the many difficulties, dangers and privations he managed to overcome during that period. Benoit belonged to the opponents of the abolition of slavery. He cannot avoid picturing the harsh and cruel daily existence of the slaves and explaining why they run away, revolt against their masters and are filled with hatred towards the whites. When describing their dance-festivals, he says that the need to find an outlet for their misery accounts for the frenzy with which they throw themselves into it. He produced a large number of charming and meticulous drawings during his stay. This very attractive set of views of Surinam include fine scenes of native life, showing costumes, dwellings, ceremonies, festivals, recreations, interiors, utensils, etc. of the negro- and Indian population and the Dutch planters. There are also several views of Paramaribo, plantation houses, a slave auction, and public buildings in Surinam. A remarkable collection of handsome lithographed views depicting plantation life in Surinam. Suriname-Catalogus UB Amsterdam 0579; See Introduction of the reprint edition by Silvia W. de Groot; Cf.

During his stay in Surinam he had an eye for daily life in Surinam, he belonged to the opponents of the abolition of slavery: the Surinam slave-owners, from humanitarian motives and from natural self-interest, by no means treat their slaves as badly as is asserted by those who are in favour of abolition. He cannot avoid picturing the harsh and cruel daily existence of the slaves and explaining why they run away, revolt against their masters and are filled with hatred towards the whites. When describing their dance-festivals, he says that the need to find an outlet for their misery accounts for the frenzy with which they throw themselves into it (Introduction by S.W. de Groot to the facsimile edition). He made a large number of charming and meticulous drawings. These very attractive set of views of Surinam include fine scenes of native life, showing costumes, dwellings, ceremonies, festivals, recreations, interiors, utensils, etc. of the negro- and Indian population.
