De Mist, Jonkvrouw Augusta Uitenhage. - Diary of a Journey. To the Cape of Good Hope and the Interior of Africa in 1802 and 1803.

Balkema. Cape Town (1954). Orange paper-covered boards, 'calf' spine. 57pp illustrated portrait frontis, plates, map. sm.8vo. Boards marked and also show minor insect depredations. Contents unmarked. Overal G+ condition. The Author was an 18-year old girl when she sailed from Texel with her father to the Cape of Good Hope. Her travels took her first along the Cape west coast as far as Calvinia and then returning south they branched along the east coast travelling past Algoa Bay to the Great Fish River, then to Graaf Reinet, returning across the Karoo. Not a large diary for such a long trip, but she tells a tale that was intended for her family circle. Of note is the description of the voyage out and an early stop for shelter in Plymouth where they visited Lord Barrington.
