Goldsmiths’ 21458; Lowndes Volume I, Page 135. Abbey Travel 312. ‘Uncoloured aquatints. Chaplin, page 160; Gay, No. 3088; Gordon-Brown, page 85; Prideaux, pages 237, 327; St. Helena Bibliography, Pages (1) and (5); Sutton, No. 52 (page 180); Young, Page 313 ... Samuel Davis, from whose drawings the above plates were made, was a friend of the Daniells, and Thomas and William had stayed with him more than once during their first tour in India. This accounts for the fact that William has signed these engravings, as he did also the engravings for Davis’s ‘Views in Bootan’, 1813 ... when in other cases such as the views for Carr’s ‘Tour through Holland’, 1807 ... and those for Smyth’s ‘... Sicily’, 1824 ... he applied his principle of not signing engravings after the work of other artists.’ Davis, an official in the Honurable East India Company, was an amateur artist of some talent. he retired from India in 1805, and was a director of the Company from 1810 until his death in 1819...’ Alexander Beatson (1759–1830), army officer in the East India Company and colonial governor. ‘... In October 1807 Beatson was appointed to the governorship of St Helena, which he held from 1808 to 1813. The island, which then belonged to the East India Company, was in a very impoverished condition. The scanty population had been badly affected by an epidemic of measles a short time previously, and was in a wretched state. The acts of the home authorities in suppressing the arrack trade and other matters gave rise to great discontent, resulting in a garrison mutiny in December 1811, which was put down firmly by Beatson, who also introduced a better system of cultivation and many other ‘improving’ measures. These activities, related in his widely read [above work], and several other shorter works, have been described as a major contribution to the ‘beginnings of global environmentalism’ (Grove, 356–60). In recognition of his services on the island he was promoted major-general from 3 August 1813 ...’ ODNB. The book was originally writtten as a series of articles for a local journal ‘The St Helena Monthly Register’ founded by Beatson several years after the arrival of the first printing press to the island in 1806. The Introductory chapter deals with the geology, soil, climate, and its strength and secutiry as a military station. Part I deals mainly with agriculture, and Part II deals with the mutiny.

Goldsmiths’ 21458; Lowndes Volume I, Page 135. Abbey Travel 312. ‘Uncoloured aquatints. Chaplin, page 160; Gay, No. 3088; Gordon-Brown, page 85; Prideaux, pages 237, 327; St. Helena Bibliography, Pages (1) and (5); Sutton, No. 52 (page 180); Young, Page 313 ... Samuel Davis, from whose drawings the above plates were made, was a friend of the Daniells, and Thomas and William had stayed with him more than once during their first tour in India. This accounts for the fact that William has signed these engravings, as he did also the engravings for Davis’s ‘Views in Bootan’, 1813 ... when in other cases such as the views for Carr’s ‘Tour through Holland’, 1807 ... and those for Smyth’s ‘... Sicily’, 1824 ... he applied his principle of not signing engravings after the work of other artists.’ Davis, an official in the Honurable East India Company, was an amateur artist of some talent. he retired from India in 1805, and was a director of the Company from 1810 until his death in 1819...’ Alexander Beatson (1759–1830), army officer in the East India Company and colonial governor. ‘... In October 1807 Beatson was appointed to the governorship of St Helena, which he held from 1808 to 1813. The island, which then belonged to the East India Company, was in a very impoverished condition. The scanty population had been badly affected by an epidemic of measles a short time previously, and was in a wretched state. The acts of the home authorities in suppressing the arrack trade and other matters gave rise to great discontent, resulting in a garrison mutiny in December 1811, which was put down firmly by Beatson, who also introduced a better system of cultivation and many other ‘improving’ measures. These activities, related in his widely read [above work], and several other shorter works, have been described as a major contribution to the ‘beginnings of global environmentalism’ (Grove, 356–60). In recognition of his services on the island he was promoted major-general from 3 August 1813 ...’ ODNB. The book was originally writtten as a series of articles for a local journal ‘The St Helena Monthly Register’ founded by Beatson several years after the arrival of the first printing press to the island in 1806. The Introductory chapter deals with the geology, soil, climate, and its strength and secutiry as a military station. Part I deals mainly with agriculture, and Part II deals with the mutiny.
