Georgetown, British Guiana: Argosy" Press, 1887. First Edition Thus/Fine Binding/Unique Edition. Hardcover. Light shelf/edge wear, tips throught, light sunning at spine at top front at head, else tight, bright and unmarred. Halfbound, green leather spine and tips, marbled paper boards and endpages, teg, frontispiece, numerous plates and a map bound in. 8vo. 261pp plus np plate pages. Illus. (b/w plates). Very scarce generally, this copy is unique. While it can not be confirmed, it is extremely likely this is from the collection of noted Maine collector and "Grangerizer" Frank Deering, who was very fond of having significant volumes finely bound for his library after "extra-illustrating" or "Grangerizing" them. Nearly every major figure and event in the work is illustrated by a period engraving tipped in at the appropriate place. Includes 1782 map (pub. by R. Baldwin, Pater Noster Row for London Mag, April 1782) of the islands of St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Barbados and the Windward Islands. Includes 4pp ALS letter from Davis (1893) to [Deering] expressing his pleasure with the "Grangerizing" of the book and suggesting some plates and inquiring about additional related material. The extra-illustrations include approximately 56 plates and engravings [N.B. many plates predate this volume by a century or more and may will be insularly signficant], 1 ALS, and one map.A very handsome copy of a very scarce volume in a unique edition.
