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.

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 facinating 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.

Prag, bei Karl Barth, (1796), 8°, 96 pp., 1 Blatt Druckfehler, 1 gefaltete Kupferstichtafel, blaugraue Interimsbroschur d.Zt.; minimal gebräunt, feines Expl. "Fälle des Wasserbruches sammt Beobachtungen über eine sonderbare Art diese Krankheit zu behandeln, denen ein sonderbarer Fall des mit dem Wasserbruche vermengten Harnblasenbruches und zwey Fälle des eingesperrten Bruches beigefüget sind. Aus dem Englischen übersetzt und mit Anmerkungen vermehr von Wenzl Johann Langsvert"- First German Edition of "Cases of Hydrocele and Hernia" (1788)! Thomas Keate (1745-1821), "surgeon, was born in 1745, became a pupil at St. George's Hospital, London, and was afterwards assistant to John Gunning [q. v.], surgeon to the hospital. On a vacancy arising in the surgeoncy in succession to Charles Hawkins, there was a sharp contest (1792) between Keate and Home (afterwards Sir Everard), whom John Hunter favoured. Keate was elected [see HUNTER, JOHN, (1728- 1793)]. He succeeded Hunter in 1793 as surgeon-general to the army. He was an examiner at the College of Surgeons from 1800, and master in 1802, 1809, 1818. He was an excellent surgeon, and was the first to tie the subclavian artery for aneurysm (see G. J. GUTHRIE, On Wounds and Injuries of the Arteries). But he was unpunctual and negligent of his hospital duties, and in 1813 he resigned his hospital appointment. He was surgeon to the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV, and to Chelsea Hospital, where he died 5 July 1821, aged 76. Keate wrote little on surgery. He published 'Cases of Hydrocele and Hernia,' 4to, London, 1788, and several controversial papers, the chief being 'Observations on the Fifth Report of the Commissioners of Medical Enquiry,' 4to, London, 1808; the report had censured many points in Keate's administration (see also R. JACKSON, M.D., Letter to Mr. Keate, 1808, and Letter to the Commissioners of Military Enquiry, 1808). "DNBoo see - Gent. Mag. 1821, vol. xci. pt. ii. p. 93; Sir B. Brodie's Autobiography; St. George's Hospital Reports, vol. i. 'Account of St. George's Hospital,' by W. E. Page.] Langswert, Wenceslaus Johann Nepomuk (1738-1794).

First and only edition of Keate's justification of his conduct against what he considered the unwarranted criticisms of the commission. Uncommon, with less than a dozen copies located institutionally world-wide. An excellent copy with an attractive provenance, coming from the Mount Stewart library of General Charles Stewart, 3rd marquess of Londonderry, pencilled press marks to the front pastedown. Keate was elected surgeon-general to the army in 1798, became examiner of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1802, and was master 1802, 1809, and 1818. Keate "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; the report censured the medical board for showing a lack of proper control, for irregularities in promotion, for making new and unnecessary appointments, for waste and extravagance, and for opening general hospitals unnecessarily. Keate had carried out his duties with success but blame had nevertheless fallen upon him. The board was dissolved in 1809 and Keate was retired with a small allowance. He then complained of how his public duties had interfered with his private practice" (ODNB). Keate had become regimental surgeon to the foot guards in 1778, and was also inspector of the regimental hospital system until his election to surgeon-general, his understanding of the army's medical requirements was undoubtedly better grounded than those of the members of the Army Medical Board whose experience covered "merely London hospital work" ("Military and Naval Hospitals", in The Hospital 9 December 1893). Keate died in Chelsea Hospital in 1821. Wellcome III, p.380 Quarto (252 x 209 mm). Contemporary green half calf, brown daubed paste paper boards, black morocco label to the spine, edges sprinkled brown. Spine just a touch sunned, very light shelf-wear, pale toning to the text-block and the very occasional spot of foxing, ?bound without half-title, a very good copy indeed.
