NOTES ON THE WEST INDIES: Written During the Expedition Under the Command of the Late General Sir Ralph Abercromby: Including Observations on The Island of Barbadoes and the Settlements Captured by the British Troops Upon The Coast of Guiana: Likewise Remarks Relating to the Creoles and Slaves of the Western Colonies and The Indians of South America: with Occasional Hints Regarding The Seasoning or Yellow Fever of Hot Climates.
London: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1806. 3 volumes. First Edition. A Very Rare Complete Set. 8vo handomely bound in antique half tan calf at a later date over marbled paper covered boards the spines with raised bands and red morocco lettering labels gilt. xxiv448; xvi 472; xix 1 errata 456 pp. A very handsome copy the bindings in excellent condition the half-titles are present in the required volumes prelims and endleaves with the inevitable browning some spotting throughout due to the paper content still a pleasing and collectible set. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION COMPLETE SET OF THIS FUNDAMENTAL WORK ON THE WEST INDIES in which Pinckard describes his experiences in the West Indies and Guiana particularly of slavery. There is much on the customs and social goings on of the slave population and on the economy of slavery during this period. Passages from this work were reprinted by abolitionists in 1807. In October 1795 the author had been appointed a physician to the forces and was selected to join Sir Ralph Abercromby's expedition to the West Indies where he was on the Santo Domingo staff. He reached Barbados in February 1796. His constant work on medical ailments and especially of Yellow Fever during this expedition are of significant importance. <br> Pinckard was in Ireland during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and served on the staff of General Samuel Hulse. He was promoted for his services to the rank of deputy inspector-general of hospitals and had a part in the direction of the medical service in the Duke of York's expedition to Den Helder. On his return he took a house in Great Russell Street then moved to Bloomsbury Square London and resided there till his death. He established the Bloomsbury Dispensary and was physician to it for thirty years. In 1823 he formulated the idea of insuring lives beyond the normal bounds from a medical standpoint leading to the foundation in 1824 of Clerical Medical. He was chairman and a director from its foundation in 1824 to his death in 1835. Wiki. Larned calls the work a very useful and readable description of Barbadoes Guiana and the West Indies Islands.<br> Complete three volume sets of the first edition of Pinckard's Notes on the West Indies are very rare in commerce.<br> Sabin 62893. Larned 4132<br> Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme hardcover
