Sceptre and 9 other aquatint plates including views of Cape Town and the surrounding area, whale fishing and hunting scenes. XXI,320 pp. First edition. - An anonymous work on the state of the Cape of Good Hope under the first phase of British rule (1795 - 1803) in letters describing the diverse population of slaves in the Cape Colony. 'A short account of the Cape before the period of the rule of the Batavian Republic. The writter of the series of thirty-nine letters which are comprised in the volume was evidently a strong opponent of slavery, and a large part of the work is devoted to the exposition of his views on the matter, and a sketch of the various forms of slavery that have existed from ancient times'' (Mendelssohn I, p.609). The large folding frontispiece depicts the wreck of H.M.S. Sceptre. On November 4, 1799, the Sceptre was lying in Table Bay with about a dozen other ships, when a very severe storm struck from the only quarter for which this bay provides no protection. The anchor cables parted in succession, and the ship drove on a reef just off shore. The Sceptre broke up completely, and only 51 reached shore of the approximately 450 people on board. Nine of the ships in the bay drove on the shore in the same storm, and were lost' (Huntress p.50). One print depicts a whale fishing scene near the Cape of Good Hope with1 page of text. 'This scene purporting to illustrate whale hunting in Table Bay, South Africa, is actually a composite of earlier Dutch prints of the arctic fishery of the Van der Meulen/Van der Laan set' (Ingslls, Whaling prints, 102). - (Foxed, several pages more strongly). - Scarce.

CARTER, George. Belangryke geschiedenis van het verongelukken op de Kaffers kust, van het Engelsch Oost-Indisch schip De Grosvenor, bevattende een beschryving van de verbazende rampen en wederwaardigheden, die de geredde schepelingen, in het doortrekken van woestynen en onbewoonde landstreeken, hebben ondergaan, samengesteld uit het verslag van John Hynes, een der behouden gebleeven schipbreukelingen. Uit het Engelsch. Amsterdam, Johannes Allart, 1801.Old marbled boards, spine half cloth. With folding lithographed plate of the passengers surviving the shipwreck. VIII,157 pp. First Dutch edition; first published in London 1791: A narrative of the loss of the Grosvenor, East Indiaman, which was unfortunately wrecked upon the coast of Caffraria. - The Grosvenor had left Madras in March 1782 under the command of Captain John Coxon. August 4 the ship struck on a reef close to the shore of Pondoland, near the mouth of the Tezani River. 123 of the passengers and crew reached shore. These survivors suffered a good deal from harassment by natives, and soon decided to set out for the Dutch settlement to the south. The number was too large to find food or be fed by the natives, there were many rivers to cross, and some native tribes were very hostile. The group soon scattered, and most died of starvation, thirst, and exposure. Nine Europeans and 9 East Indians survived. The Dutch of the nearest settlement and the Cape sent two expeditions to search for survivors, one in 1783 and one in 1790-1791. There was a great deal of popular interest in the loss of the Grosvenor, chiefly because there were 3 European woman and 3 girl children among those who got ashore, and there was much speculation about their fate. The story of the Grosvenor has been a source for many writers, among them the painter George Carter (1737-1794), on the basis of his encounter of one of the survivors John Hynes (Huntress p.34) . - On the flyleaf several stamps of Aloysius college 's Gravenhage; some staining.

On the right is an English brig, and on the left the flagship of Rear-Admiral van Bijlandt, who had been stationed with a squadron in the West Indies for about a year in order to protect Dutch merchantmen from English privateers.

She successfully combated piracy off the Barbary Coast in North Africa for 10 years. She also assisted Dutch merchant ships being attacked by pirates and privateers in the West Indies. In her final years, she was ordered to patrol the coast of Suriname, where English privateers were active. - A fine impression.Muller, Historieplaten, 4332 b; De Groot & Vorstman, Zeilschepen, 176; Cf.

KEATE, George. An account of the Pelew Islands, situated in the western part of the Pacific Ocean, composed from the journals and communications of Captain Henry Wilson, and some of his officers, who, in august 1783, were there shipwrecked, in the Antelope, a packet belonging to the honourable East India Company. Dublin, Luke White, 1788.8vo. Contemporary tree calf, spine richly gilt with red morocco title-label. With large folding engraved chart and 16 engraved portraits and plates. XXVIII,378,(8) pp. First edition in 8vo published in the same year as the 4to edition; with armorial bookplate of colonel Cooper. - In 1783 the East India Packet Antelope under command of Henry Wilson, ran onto a reef near one of the Palau Islands, a previously unexplored group, and was wrecked. The crew reached shore and were well treated by the natives. From the wreck they built a small boat which they managed to get to Macao, taking with them Prince Lee Boo, the son of king Abba Thule. Lee Boo soon died of smallpox in England. Captain Wilson allowed Keate (1729-97) to write a faithful account of the events from Wilson's journals and communications. This account did much to reinforce the idea of the noble savage and it is one of the most popular 18th century books on the Pacific and also the main source of early knowledge of the Palau Islands, the most western group of the Caroline archipelago. Includes a vocabulary of the Pelew language. 'This was one of the most popular of all shipwreck narratives, partly because of the happy ending of the adventure, and partly because of the detailed descriptions of the Pelw Islands' natural features and society' (Huntress p. 37). This book generated a great interest in Europe of the South Seas. - A fine copy of the rare Dublin edition.Hill 907; Huntress 107C; Cox II, 302-303; Howgego p.1105. [Boeknr.: 21857 ]

Le Papin was one of the vessels destined to form the French squadron on the coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave trade, and was on her way to Senegal, intending to call at Mogador. 'I have this moment heard from the office of the British consul of the total wreck on the coast, between Azmoor and Mazagan, of another French man of war steamer, of 650 tons burden, and 140 horse power. The details are very shocking, and the number of lives lost are 77, including the captain and all the officers. with the exception of one midshipman. The newly appointed French consul to Mogador is numbered among the victims. Exactly one half of those on board the unfortunate vessel were drowned, the other half were saved under circumstances which reflect the highest credit on the British and French consul at Mazagan.

With folding plate depicting the Adder and folding plate depicting the probable location of the wreck. II,181 pp. The Adder was a Dutch ram monitor who sank on the North Sea off the coast of Scheveningen on Wednesday evening 5 July 1882. All 66 people on board were killed. The wreck was never recovered.There was a lot of criticism because it was delayed until Saturday before sending a ship to locate the Adder, while the monitor was expected to be in Hellevoetsluis on Wednesday afternoon. This exceptionally slow course of action on the part of the Navy Department has been heavily criticized. A monitor was a relatively small warship which was neither fast nor strongly armored but carried disproportionately large guns. They were designed for shallow waters and served as coastal ships and used by some navies from the 1860s. - It is the largest peacetime loss of the Royal Netherlands Navy.Added 11 newspaper clippings from 1882-1883 on the shipwreck, including 1 of the Bataviaasch Handelsblad.Cat.

Woodcut vignette on titel-page. 132 pp. Dutch translation of: Naufrage et aventures de Pierre Viaud, natif de Bordeaux, capitaine de navire, histoire véritable. Bordeaux 1768. - This book tells the extraordinary story of a French seaman who sailed from Bordeaux in February 1765 as mate in the Aimable Suzette, Captain St. Crie, bound for the West Indies. Forced by illness to remain on the small island of St. Louis, off the coast of Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Viaud enters into a partnership with a Haitian resident, monsieur Desclau, to trade goods to Louisiana. They hire a vessel, the Tigre, Captain La Couture, and sail with sixteen passengers and crew on 2 January 1766. During the voyage the ship springs a leak, and on 16 February 1766 runs aground and breaks up on an island off the coast of Florida. Viaud's account of his adventures somehow fell into the hands of the French scholar Jean Gaspard Dubois-Fontanelle who published it at Bordeaux in 1768. Exacly how much is the work of Fontanelle himself is uncertain, but it was an instant bestseller and became one of the most reprinted and translated works of the 18th century. After many years of debate and indecision, the basic framework (at least) of Viaud's account is now regarded as truthful (Howgego V, p.474-474). 'Probably the story of cannibalism accounted for the popularity of this narrative' (Huntress 80C). - Viaud's story became a bestseller in Europe and is still important for its early description of Florida.Not in Tiele or Cat.
