4to; original boards, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper, with removable protector; endpaper map; pp. (xii) + 242, incl. index; two maps; plates after Le Vaillant's own illustrations. Trace of foxing to top edge and reverse of dustwrapper; ownership inscription to front free endpaper. Very good condition. "Francois le Vaillant's Journals of his travels into the interior of the eastern and north-western Cape in the years 1781 to 1784 form one of the most interesting and well-written of such accounts by early travellers in South Africa. Although much of what he wrote appeared far-fetched and raised considerable controversy and even ridicule in his own time and subsequently, the original journals are extremely readable and amusing. The author of this book has succeeded in bringing them truly to life . Here, then, is the story of Francois le Vaillant as he emerges from his own recounting of his adventures; not concerned with the many controversies which have surrounded him and his work for nearly 200 years, but presenting him as he obviously wished to be seen by his contemporaries and by posterity.".
