KEITH, Sir George Mouat. A Voyage to South America and the Cape of Good Hope, in His Majesty's Brig Protector. London, Printed for the Author by J. B. G. Vogel, 1819.

4to. Original publisher's paste-paper backed boards with printed label to spine (worn, spotted and restored); pp. xxx, [2], 119; lightly toned or spotted, entirely uncut, a very good copy; bookplate I. & F. W. Hosken (collectors and bibliographers of books on South Africa, their bookplate); housed in a custom-made drop-back box.

First expanded edition. First published for Richard Phillips collection of voyages in 1810, this is the extremely rare and enlarged edition of Keith's voyage to South America, containing additional chapters and a list of subscribers. Lieutenant Keith was commander of the war brig, Protector, part of the fleet that sailed from England to the Cape of Good Hope in 1805. The fleet sailed to Madeira, then touched at Bahia, where they learned of the death of General Yorke, travelling in one of the two ships to be wrecked on the rocks of St. Peter and St. Paul. The ship sailed on to Rio da Janeiro, before putting across to the Cape of Good Hope. This enlarged edition contains additional material relating to the squadron sent out to capture the Cape and on the reduction of Cape Town. According to Hill, the "material on the Cape is of much interest as the Cape was thereafter to serve as the British portal to the Orient". Keith's book is uncommon due, as the author states, to "a very limited number of copies above those subscribed for [215] being printed". - A good eyewitness account of the events leading up to the British capture of the Cape Colony, together with an Appendix containing Official Documents relative to the Capture of the Cape of Good Hope and its Dependencies, beginning on page 97.

Mendelssohn p.808; Borba da Moraes p. 433; Sabin 37230; Hill p. 161 ('extremely rare').

A Versatile and Elegant Solution for Room Separation
I recently purchased the GOFLAME 8 Panel Room Divider, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its quality and design. This room divider is not only a decorative element, but it also provides a practical solution for creating distinct areas within a room. Here's why I'm giving it a 5-star review: Enhanced Privacy Space: The 6 ft tall room divider is perfect for creating a private space within a larger room. It's ideal for my home office, and I can use it to separate my workspace from the rest of the room. The screen also creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making it perfect for relaxing or reading. Hand-woven Texture: The unique hand-woven texture of the room divider adds an element of sophistication and warmth to my room. The intricate craftsmanship is impressive, and it exudes artisanal charm. I love the way it looks, and it's become a conversation piece in my home. Built with Strength: The solid wood frame is sturdy and well-constructed, providing reliable support for the room divider. I'm impressed by the attention to detail and the quality of the materials used. Foldable Design and Easy Storage: The foldable design of the room divider makes it easy to store when not in use. I can simply fold the panels flat and store them away, which is convenient and space-saving. The metal hinges that connect the panels are also sturdy and well-made. No Assembly Required: I was pleasantly surprised to find that the room divider requires no assembly. I simply took it out of the box and set it up, and it was ready to use. The smooth woven surface is also easy to clean and maintain. Overall Impression: I'm thoroughly impressed with the GOFLAME 8 Panel Room Divider. It's a stylish and functional solution for creating a private space within a larger room. The hand-woven texture and solid wood frame add an element of sophistication and warmth, and the foldable design makes it easy to store. I

Nice quality, looks brand new even with daily use! Worth it!
Size: 6 Panel, Color: White
I got the Rose Home 6 panel room divider folding privacy screen and I LOVE it. I use it every day - extending it out to both block the sun, provide a backdrop for my plant wall, use as a backdrop for zoom calls, create privacy at night in front of the big windows and clear doors, and make impromptu study privacy walls in the office. This 6-panel has been the GOAT! Even though the screen is made of a woven paper material, it is still going strong despite daily use and has NOT broken anywhere. The frame is taller than other folding screens I've purchased and this one is also heavier and sturdy. Additionally the hinges fold open in BOTH directions (some screens only fold open in 1 direction like a Z). I use the folding screens indoors, but they have no issue with the AC or fans for wind resistance indoors. Sometimes I use them to hide storage or junk in the corner and make the room look neater. I also have a different brand that is the same material but has 8 panels and I love them both. I got 2 others that were made from synthetic canvas webbing belt/leash fabric and those break so fast - I just had to throw 1 away. This one is worth the money, even after daily use, it looks brand new!
