Summary:
"In June 1796 a 17-year old Anglo-Irish youth,
Jonathan
Henry
Lovett
, was appointed a junior clerk with the British
East
India
Company. With Britain at war with France,
Lovett
sailed from England to
India
aboard
the
East
Indiaman
Malabar
. It took the ship seven months to reach
Bombay
, where
Lovett
disembarked in January 1797.
Lovett
kept a
journal
during the
voyage
in which he recorded his observations of seabirds, fish, and marine life seen from the quarterdeck of the
Malabar
. During a stopover at the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
he described its rugged mountains, exotic wildlife, its Dutch and native inhabitants, British military encampments, and ships coming and going. Originally written in two volumes recently discovered in libraries 7,000 miles apart, the complete
Jonathan
Lovett
journal
comes together here for the first time in living memory. Excerpts from the
Malabar
's logbook and detailed
maps
add additional detail to this tale of travel by
sea
in the days of the
East
Indiamen"--Provided by publisher.
