About this Item
Description:
16°. 180 p. 4 wood-engraved plates included in pagination. A cheaply printed chapbook. Some foxing and smudges on pages, but overall good. Old ownership inscriptions. ExLibris of Robert W. Jones (Seattle). Later cloth binding. - A very rare compilation of reports on people of color living in England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries: Prince Lee Boo and Paul Cuffee. The account of Lee Boo's life was first printed in the late 18th century and later reissued with additions. This issue is of particular interest due to the newly added section on Paul Cuffe. - Lee Boo, one of the first Pacific Islanders to visit Britain, was the second son of the ruler of Koror in Palau. He accompanied Captain Henry Wilson to London after the China trader Antelope was shipwrecked and the survivors spent 3 months on Palau. Lee Boo quickly became very popular in London, but died of smallpox six months after his arrival. The History of Prince Lee Boo is based on George Keate's Account of the Pelew Islands; it appeared in several popular editions, all rare, since 1789. Paul Cuffe or Cuffee (derived from his father's name Kofi) was an African American businessman and abolitionist born on Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts, in 1759. His mother was a Wampanoag, his father an Ashanti manumitted from slavery. He became a whaler, blockade runner and, after the Revolutionary War, built up a successful shipping business. He became involved in the settlement scheme for freed American slaves in Sierra Leone and died in September 1817. Seller Inventory # ABE-1723630249651
