2006 reprint by Rediscovery Books SB colour platesPublished Price £32 A Narrative by Captain Basil Hall of his voyage with Captain Murray Maxwell to the West Coast of Corea (Korea) and the Great Loo-Choo Island in 1816. This appealing work attracted great popular interest when it was published for it's portrayal of the people of the Island - 'We saw nothing like poverty or distress of any kind: every person that we met seemed contented and happy'.The detailed colour drawings of the islanders and Hall's powers of description combine to create a wonderful picture of a land that must have seemed exotically different to the visiting Europeans from their own homeland.

The first chapter is devoted to the west coast of Korea 'until then unknown except by hearsay, and drawn on the chart by imagination' (ODNB) and includes discussion of the character and language of the indigenous people Hall encountered. Chapters 2 and 3 then detail Hall's experiences in the Ryukyu Kingdom, including nearly being shipwrecked, numerous feasts with the local chiefs, and notes on 'the religion, manners, and customs of Loo-choo'. The handsome accompanying aquatint plates are based on drawings by the artist William Havell (1782 1857). The volume ends with a most interesting appendix on Ryukyuan languages by Herbert John Clifford, including sample sentences 'English and Loo-Choo' such as 'When all are drunk we shall be permitted to go on shore', and reproducing local tattoo marks.Provenance: from the library of the Scottish soldier and administrator Sir Thomas Munro (1761 1827) who served as Governor of Madras from 1820 until his death. He was 'the chief architect of the ryotwari land tenure, revenue, and judicial system, later known as "the Munro system", which provided the administrative framework for much of southern and western India throughout the period of British rule' (ODNB). His library included a Shakespeare First Folio.Abbey, Travel 558; Hill 749.
