About This Item
"This volume reproduces the South African poems published [earlier in 1824] in EPHEMERIDES, and others which appeared in various periodicals to which the author was an occasional contributor. The NARRATIVE OF A RESIDENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA is published for the first time, having been delayed owing to Mr Pringle's duties as 'Secretary to the Society for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Dominions.' "
Handsomely rebound in full leather, with all page edges gilded. See the photos for more details. This volume is complete and has some age-related faults, but is the nicest copy on the market, and a rare first edition.
