Description

Heading:
Author: Keate, George
Title: 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
Place Published: London
Publisher:G. Nicol
Date Published: 1789

xxvii, [1], 378 pp. Illustrated with stipple-engraved frontispiece portrait of Wilson; 14 copper-engraved plates; folding plate of profiles of Pelew Islands; folding chart of Western Pacific. (4to) 29x23 cm (11½x9"), period calf with gilt ruled spine and leather spine label. Third Edition.

Although the Pelew Islands had been sighted by the Spaniards, the shipwreck of the East India Company's packet near one of the islands brought about the first exploration of the group by Europeans. The crew eventually managed to build a small vessel from the wreckage, in this they reached Macao, taking with them Prince Lee Boo, one of King Abba Thulle's sons, who made a good impression in London but soon died of smallpox. (Cox II, pp.302-303; Hill 907).

Condition

Wear and soiling to binding, rubbing to extremities, joints and hinges broken, reinforced with cloth tape, half of spine title label worn away; offsetting to endpapers, scattered foxing throughout, including some plates, numbered label on front free endpaper; very good.
