Cuninghame on the Dodo being on the islands of Mauritius, Bourbon, and Rodrigues, about 200 years previously (pp.91-93), and a fascinating discussion on how people and boats could have reached Madagascar from the Malays, with further interesting comments on the Malayan language (pp.136-148). Other interesting topics include the cultivation of canes at Bourbon Island, a new mode of preserving and cutting canes, the diseases of canes, preservation of the roots of the manioc, and electricity applied to the growth of plants.
First Edition, frontispiece of the ship on the fifteenth morning, vii, [1], 303, [1] pp., original cloth, gilt, hinges a little frayed, all edges gilt, a nice bright copy. The author set sail from Cork to Port Louis in Mauritius. On the homeward journey he sailed for Port Elizabeth in South Africa, and hr gives a short account of what existed in the town at this period. He considered that the old name of Algoa Bat was far more suitable; and depreciated the custom of renaming places in Africa, which was so prevalent at this time. Dr. Blenkinsop made a stay of some duration at Cape Town, and gives a description of the town and its inhabitants, making some facetious remarks on what is termed the "posterial luxuriance" of some of the females of the country. Continuing the journey home he called at St. Helena, describing James Town, and steered for Ascension Island, which he calls "a desolate island". The small British settlement there, "exhibits the striking contrast of a green patch on the burnt soil, with a few neat white houses."
