"The work in which he records the results of his Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee (1819) was received with enthusiasm, and his account of a people hitherto unknown and their âÂÂwarlike barbaric splendourâ excited widespread interest." "In 1815 the African Company planned a mission to the Asante, and initially contemplated appointing Bowdich to lead it. On reaching Cape Coast Castle the second time, he was judged too young and Frederick James (governor of Fort Accra) was appointed to lead the expedition. In the course of the journey, however, Bowdich superseded his chief (a bold step afterwards sanctioned by the authorities), and, through negotiations which subsequently proved controversial, formed a treaty with the king of the Asante, which promised peace to the British settlements on the Gold Coast in return for commercial and political co-operation. In 1818 he returned to England in poor health, and in the following year published a detailed account of his expedition, A Mission from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantee. This work, with its glowing account of Asante society and culture, attracted considerable interest. Bowdich presented a small collection of African objects and specimens to the British Museum." âÂÂ" Oxford DNB. The Appendices offer: I) Extract from Governor Henry MeredithâÂÂs account of the Gold Coast, including the origin and history of the Ashantee War (The Colonial Journal, London, vol. 1, Jan.-July, 1816, relates his tragic death, pp. 102-3); II) Translations of a manuscript descriptive of Mungo ParkâÂÂs death (related by Salame and Jackson); III) Routes are recorded, as well are dictionaries of African word comparisons; IV) A list of reptiles; V) Mr. TedlieâÂÂs and HutchinsonâÂÂs thermometer readings; VI) Translations of the numbers from one to ten in as many as 31 African languages. Bowdich, born in Bristol, an excellent linguist, whose "enthusiastic devotion to science cost him his life" due to taking astronomical observations after which he succumbed to a cold, then fever and never fully recovered, passing at just 33 years of age.

First edition of both works, presentation copy from Sarah Bowdich, inscribed at head of the title page of Excursions, "The Revd. Dr. Bellamy, with Mrs Bowdich's grateful respects"; only one other presentation copy has appeared at auction (Forum Auctions, 2020). This copy is complete with the hand-coloured plate of the costume of the Gambia, not present in Abbey's copy. This was the Bowdichs second expedition to Africa. They travelled to the Gambia by way of Lisbon, where T. E. compiled a complete history of all the Portuguese discoveries in Africa, and Madeira "where they remained for some months, collecting geological, geographical, and botanical information" (ODNB). In the Gambia, Bowdich began a trigonometrical survey of the river. "His enthusiasm for scientific observation was said to have cost him his life there, for while taking astronomical observations at night he caught cold, which was followed by fever, resulting in his death, at the early age of thirty-three, on 10 January 1824" (ibid.). Sarah was left stranded in Africa, penniless and with three children to support, so she "set out to make a career of her art in natural history. Arriving back in London in mid-1824 she found that friends had taken up a collection for her support. By the next year she had prepared and published her husband's last manuscript,Excursions in Madeira and Porto Santo, adding three appendices of her own based on her experiences at Bathurst. Most significantly, however, her original descriptions of new species and genera of fish, birds, and plants, evaluated byCuvier, established her as the first woman known to have discovered whole new genera of plants" (ibid.). Theakstone notes that she was described in contemporary journals as the first female traveller in the wild regions of Africa. Provenance: the recipient may be the Hebraist and Swedenborgian Dr John Bellamy (1755-1842), who in 1818 produced an edition of the Bible, "newly translated from the Original Hebrew", and, in 1812, The History of All Religions. Abbey 190; Gay 2983; Hilmy II p. 382; Theakstone, An Encyclopaedia of Nineteenth Century Women Travellers, p. 245. Two works bound in a single volume, quarto (264 x 207 mm). Contemporary diced calf sometime neatly rebacked, smooth spine divided by paired gilt fillets, black label, sides framed with a border of paired gilt fillets enclosing concentric panels of a broad foliate roll, triple blind fillets and circular cornerpieces, gilt foliate cornerpieces, gilt edge roll and turn-ins, Italian on Spanish pattern marbled edges and endpapers. Excursions: hand-coloured lithographic frontispiece, 21 lithographic plates (3 hand-coloured, 6 folding) by and after Sarah Bowdich, 3 of which lithographed by T. M. Baynes after Sarah Bowdich, all printed by Hullmandel, 4 in-text wood engravings; Essay: 3 folding lithographic plates by Sarah Bowdich, 2 of them after Jane Landseer. Binding rubbed, corners a little worn, strip of leather lost from bottom corner of front cover, some foxing, yet this remains a very good, well-margined copy.
