Beschreibung

Hardcover, no jacket. Second Printing, 1922. Contains bookplate. Some wear to the cover's edges, and along the spine where it has obscured part of the title. Some discoloration indside the cover and foxing on the title page. Periodic foxing on page faces throughout. While still firmly attached, the seams of the binding around the back cover are visible. The University of Glasgow states of the book: "JANET SCHAW'S account of her journey from Leith in Scotland to the West Indies, North Carolina and Portugal between the years 1774 and 1776 was discovered accidentally by a researcher looking for other material in the British Museum. The manuscript from which the text was eventually printed is known as Egerton 2423 and is entered in the British Museum catalogue as 'Journal by a Lady, of a Voyage from Scotland to the West Indies and South Carolina, with an account of personal experiences during the War of Independence, and a visit to Lisbon on her return 25 October 1774 - December 1775.'".
