Keate was a leading London surgeon becoming Surgeon-General to the Army in 1798 and being elected F.R.S. the next year. Keate was a controversial figure and was heavily criticised in the Fifth Report of the Commissioners of Military Enquiry. He published his defence in 1808, and this very rare 1809 publication is in effect a continuation of his disagreement with th Commissioners.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. And More Particularly On Those Parts Of It Which Relate To The Surgeon General. First Edition. 4to, half title, appendix, index, 160 pp. Bound in modern half calf, red morocco spine label, publication date lettered in gilt to the spine, raised bands, marbled endpapers. Printed for J. Hatchard (190, Piccadilly), 1808. A fine copy of Thomas Keate s controversial Report. Rarely encountered complete with the half title, and in such collectible condition. Thomas Keate Esquire, F.R.S (1745-1821) "was an excellent surgeon, and was the first to tie the subclavian artery for aneurysm. But he was unpunctual and negligent of his hospital duties, and wrote little on surgery. He published several controversial papers, the chief being Observations on the Fifth Report of the Commissioners of Military Enquiry. (ODNB). Keate was appointed Army Surgeon-General in 1798 and his controversial 1808 Report highlighted numerous issues such as failings by the medical board in irregular and inappropriate appointments, wasteful practice and opening unnecessary hospitals. Despite carrying out his work successfully and appropriately, Keate was partially blamed for the failings. The Army Medical Board was dissolved in 1809. Keate was subsequently retired and went on to complain of how his public work had impeded his private practice (Wellcome III, p. 380.)

COLLATION:[2] pp.,[i]-xxvii [xxviii is Direction to binders], [1] - 378pp. [379 pp. eratta].**SUBJECT: The British and Chinese crew aboard the East India Company's packet ship Antelope comes to harm in July, 1783 as their ship is blown off course in a gale off of Macau, stranding them upon the coral banks of a hitherto unexplored group of South Pacific (now Micronesian) islands between Guam and the Phillipines. The Captain, Henry Wilson, and crew pull off a remarkable feat of salvaging the remains of the ship to build a sloop, enabling the crew to set sail via Canton to England after only four months on Oroolong, the island gifted them by the Pelau King Abba Thulle. Compiler George Keate uses journals, interviews and the log to tell the human story of an unplanned yet remarkably fruitful voyage of exploration and anthropological discovery. The Pelew (Pelau, or Belau) kingdom of the chief Abba Thulle extends generous hospitality and friendship to the travelers, inviting mutual respect and kindness. In return, the British aid them in medical matters and several battles against rival islanders. They are gifted various Pelauan "ornaments"( which make up some of the illustrations) as they set off four months later to return to England, also bringing with them the King's nephew, Prince Lee Boo, who lives for a time with Mr. Keate and his family. Keate wrote a second title about Lee Boo's time in England, and his daughter Caroline provides a portrait from memory used here, when Lee Boo died from smallpox in Dec., 1784. **ILLUSTRATIONS: Arthur William Devis (1762-1822 ) shipped out as the official East India Company Artist in 1782, and by 1783 was aboard the shipwrecked "Antelope" in Palau. Trained as an academic painter and portraitist, he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and other galleries. The British Museum has several of his original portrait drawings from the voyage which appear in the book, including that of the Prince Lee Boo (Lebu) and his father, Arra Kook (Arra Kooger), as well as a portrait of a Chinese lady drawn after the crew regrouped in Macau and Canton in 1784. (British Museum online). Luckily, there were numerous artistically-inclined sketchers on this voyage, including the Captain himself, making possible a thoroughly fascinating pictorial record of the events, cultural history and people. The brother of artist Edwin Landseer, the engraver Thomas Landseer was also employed on this work, as prepared back in London. BIBLIOGRAPHERS cite five editions by 1804, including a pirated Irish edition and one in French; it has been an enduringly popular narative, variously abridged and translated into many languages in the ensuing years, due to the particularly well-told tale on a very human scale. **PROVENANCE: Viscount Falmouth, Mereworth Castle, Kent (engraved bookplate). This stunning early eighteenth-century Palladian home, designed by Scottish architect Colen Campbell, appeared in film as the residence of Agent 007, in the 1967 Sean Connery/ James Bond film, "Casino Royale," immortalized from the 1953 Ian Fleming novel. The book is presumed to have belonged to the 3rd Viscount Falmouth, George Evelyn Boscawen, (d.1808) whose family crest upon the bookplate features distinctive heraldry of lions rampant with the tail of a fish. (His father, the 2nd Viscount Falmouth, Hugh Boscawen, (d. 1782) was a naval Admiral. Also, THOMAS TWYSDEN, (d. 1801) whose name appears signed in old ink to the title page, also had a distinguished and lengthy naval career, entering service in 1781 as Fourth Lieut. of the 74-gun ship of the line, The Defense, in 1793.
