2 vols, 8vo, I: pp. xxix, [1], 381, 3; II: pp. xvi, 473, [1]; with 17 plates, 94 illustrations in text, and 2 folding maps; a clean, crisp, tight copy in original blue cloth with gilt lettered spines; traces of tape to endpapers, extremities and covers very slightly rubbed.Limited edition reprint (1250 copies) of William Burchell's seminal 1822 account of his travels through South Africa. 'The most valuable and accurate work on South Africa published up to the first quarter of the nineteenth century, and embracing a description of a large part of the Cape Colony and Bechuanaland at this period. Theal (History of South Africa, 1795-1834) remarks that the author was "a man of talent, an easy writer, and scrupulously exact in his descriptions," and according to Slater he was "a most skillful and well-trained zoologist and botanist, and his observations are all accurate and methodical"' (Mendelssohn). Overall, Burchell spent more than four years in South Africa and penetrated as far as 'Lattakoo', modern day Kuruman, making 'important collections of the fauna, flora, and curiosities of the country, together with a large number of drawings' (Mendelssohn). According to Kennedy, 'Burchell's Travels . . . is generally acknowledged to be unsurpassed by any other item, if we take into account accuracy, the background knowledge of the writer, new information, illustrations (both for accuracy and beauty), typography and book production' (Africana Repository, p. 90).This copy is a 1953 reprint of Burchell's first edition, published between 1822 and 1824, with additional material and a new introduction by the social anthropologist Isaac Schapera (1905-2003). The reprint reproduces all but 4 of Burchell's original plates and illustrations, although some of the vignettes have been reduced in size (see I, pp. xviii-xix).For the original see: Abbey, Travel 327; Hosken, p. 32; Mendelssohn I, p. 224; Theal pp. 50-51; Tooley 116.

First edition. "The most valuable and accurate work on South Africa published up to the first quarter of the nineteenth century, and embracing a description of a large part of the Cape Colony and Bechuanaland at this period. Theal ('History of South Africa, 1795-1834') remarks that the author was 'a man of talent, an easy writer, and scrupulously exact in his descriptions', and according to Sclater he was 'a most skillful and well-trained zoologist and botanist, and his observations are all accurate and methodical.' Burchell penetrated as far as 'Lattakoo' (afterwards known as Kuruman), and during his explorations, which extended over a period of four years, made important collections of the fauna, flora, and curiosities of the country, together with a large number of drawings. Generally speaking, Burchell appears to have been favourably impressed by the Boers.The author's name is perpetuated in the country by the appellation of 'Burchell's Zebra' (equus burchelli), a species of quagga discovered by him 'in the country immediately to the north of the Orange River.he was also the first to mention the existence of asbestos in this part of the country. The illustrations in the volumes are characterized by great beauty and accuracy, and it is stated in the Preface that, 'in order to ensure greater correctness in the vignettes, the author has made all these drawings upon the blocks themselves'; the coloured plates are particularly admired, and the drawings from which they were engraved were prepared with great care by the artist, and were untouched by any other hand. The work is now extremely scarce, many copies having been broken up in the middle of the nineteenth century for the plates." (Mendelssohn) Some of the panoramic views were executed on the then practically unknown principle of scenographic projection on the surface of a revolving cylinder. The work covers Burchell's explorations in 1811 and 1812. A third volume relating his travels from 1812 to 1815 was projected but never published. In all Burchell claimed that his African collections consisted of 63,000 natural objects, 500 drawings, and a mass of astronomical, meteorological, and other observations and notes. A selection of his specimens were presented to the British museum following his return and are now in South Kensington. Abbey, Travel, 327. Mendelssohn I p. 224. Prideaux pp. 239 & 329. Tooley 116.
