Van Riebeeck Society Second Series, No. 42. 8vo; original dark brown cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper in protector; pp. xx + 402, incl. index; frontis. portrait; plates in colour and monochrome; maps. Fine condition. "Pringle is remembered as 'the father of English poetry' in this country, as leader of the only Scottish settler party in 1820, and as a champion of the freedom of the press. The abolition of slavery in the British Empire came into force in August 1834 but at that stage his health had already deteriorated, probably due to tuberculosis. Desperate measures were taken for his return to the sun and dryness of the Cape Colony, but his and his wife's berths had to be cancelled at the last minute and four weeks later he was dead - at 45. This volume contains 223 vivid, passionate, and engaging letters shedding revealing light, vastly broadening and deepening the existing picture of what Pringle said and did, and why.".…

Very good condition. Facsimile of the original edition, with a new introduction. "A second issue of 750 copies . appeared on May 6th upon which the Fiscal warned Pringle that it must cease if articles obnoxious to the Government continued to be printed. The item particularly objected to was On the present state and prospects of the English emigrants in South Africa (p. 151). The editors, however, refused to submit to censorship and announced cessation of publication on May 13th. A stormy interview with the Governor followed but Pringle stood firm. At the same time the publication of the S.A. Commercial Advertiser was suspended for similar reasons. Pringle left the Colony in due course and sought financial redress in vain - after all he had ceased publication of his own choice. Fairbairn, however, stayed on to see the resumption of the S.A. Commercial Advertiser a year later under his editorship and the winning of the battle for the freedom of the Press." - A. M. Lewin Robinson, in the Introduction.…

Number 206 of an edition limited to 510 copies, a facsimile reprint of the 1825 printing by W. Bridekirk. 8vo; original brown rexine gilt; pp. (vi) + 24. Regular browning throughout. Very good condition. (SABIB 4, p. 317 [1st and 2nd printings]) "It is interesting, though not surprising, to find that in 1824, the year when, in spite of all the efforts of Pringle and Greig, Lord Charles Somerset succeeded in suppressing the free press in Cape Town, an attempt was made, sponsored by the same circle of independent-minded citizens, to found a South African Literary Society. Sixty-one citizens of distinction became members, and Thomas Pringle was appointed temporary secretary. It was essential to have the approval of the Governor, however, so Somerset was respectfully requested to become Patron of the Society. Ever suspicious of anything inaugurated by the 'rebel' Pringle, Somerset began by refusing that honour, and proceeded to forbid the establishment of the Society, on the grounds that it 'might have a tendency to produce political discussion'. The very rare contemporary documents dealing with this episode are now re-published after the lapse of 140 years. They are of great historical interest, particularly for the contrast they reveal between the alert-minded members who sought to pursue cultural activities, and the despotic and ultra-conservative Governor.".…
