Description
London: J. Nichols, Son, and Bentley, 1814. First edition. Original publisher's boards, paper title label to spine, quarto. 24 uncolored aquatint plates by Clark after the author's own sketches (usually colored), many leaves uncut, bookplate of St. Augustine College to front pastedown and verso of title, early ink ownership of one C. J. Elliot to front pastedown. Joints cracked with sewing visible (however holding firm), a few gatherings a little roughly opened, occasional offsetting and foxing (heavier to a few leaves). A Very Good + copy, rare in original, unrestored boards. Wathen, a retired glover from Hereford, sailed to India and China in 1811 with Captain James Pendergrass who he had known since his schooldays. The plates include seven views of India, six of Indonesia, nine of China, and two of St. Helena. The work provided important accounts of Madras and its environs, of Pulo-penang, Macao and Canton. In addition to this, there is an interesting pre-Napoleon account of St. Helena and further material on the Cape of Good Hope. Abbey (Travel), 517. Cordier, Sinica 2107. Mendelssohn II, p591.
