Illustrated, with six plates and a large folding map of South Africa to volume I. Eight plates to volume II.

Steedman first arrived at Cape Colony in 1820 as an independent settler arriving on a settler ship. He ran a successful business in the colony which then enabled him to fund his travels in search of natural history specimens. Over the years Steedman collected over 300 animals, including many that had not been seen before. Upon his eventual return to England and prior to the publication of this work he held an exhibition of his animals. In half calf bindings with marbled paper boards. Externally, generally smart. Light rubbing to the joints and to the extremities. Heavy rubbing to the boards. Spines have faded due to rubbing. Prior owner's bookplate to the front pastedown, Henry Hepburn Bright.

Tissue guard to plate at page 9 to volume II is loosening. Pages are generally bright. Heavy spotting to the first and last few pages, with occasional scattered spots and the odd light tidemark throughout. Very Good. W Harvey; Turvey; T M Baynes (illustrator). book.

Hill II, 1826. Palau 374005. Prideaux, pp. 257, 355 (incorrectly calling for 18 plates). Raines, p. 215. Sabin 101302. Streeter 1104: "Classic book on Mexico as the main reason for its inclusion, General Arthur G. Wavell's account of Texas. However, I hope the rarity of accounts of Texas in the 1820s makes its inclusion worth while. A minor reason is its inclusion of Simon H.G. Bourne's account of Sonora and Cinaloa, which is referred to in the note to Bourne's Observations, London, 1828.

      Docks by "The Colossus of Roads" Lithograph. In the early nineteenth century the Port of London came under pressure, and new docks were needed. Parliament selected a site in the Docklands in 1825, and construction began in 1827. The new docks were designed by Thomas Telford, a prominent contemporary civil engineer known as 'The Colossus of Roads', after overseeing several highway-building projects. It was his only major project in London, carving out two basins from the Thames accessed through a lock. The docks were made so that ships could unload directly from the water into the warehouses, reducing the quayside traffic. The new docks were named after St Katharine's Hospital, founded by Matilda of Boulogne in 1147, which was demolished along with the slums that had grown up around it to make way for the new development. The area was particularly popular with foreign craftsmen, as it was exempt from the London guild restrictions. BM 1880,1113.1688; MOL 002069. Image: 303 by 466mm (12 by 18.25 inches).
