Half red morocco with marbled paper boards, spine ruled gilt in six compartments with gilt flower device in each besides the second compartment, which is lettered gilt South Carolina's equivalent of "Notes on the State of Virginia"; a rare, classic compendium by Governor John Drayton. This first edition complete with the seldom seen tipped-in postscript and Winyaw Bay map. "A desire to be well informed, respecting the concerns of my own country; led to the many researches, which have authorized the following work: and a knowledge thence derived, that no one book sufficiently comprehended the various informations, necessary for a due knowledge of the present situation of South-Carolina, has induced me to make the same public. How far I have been successful, the following pages will declare." - Governor John Drayton, Preface Drayton became governor of South Carolina in January 1800, and given the state's two-year term limit at the time, served until December 1802, making him the thirteenth governor of the young state. A View of South Carolina was composed during his term, when he travelled extensively throughout the state, including into the remote reaches of the upper country. Drayton's wide-ranging interests and privileged position led him to accumulate materials on practically every aspect of South Carolinian life, including its natural history; Native peoples; minerals; agriculture; inland navigation; commerce and manufacturing; and cultural life. "It is the product not only of experience and observation, but of the written sources available to Drayton, including state papers and records. It is documented rather fully." (Clark) Drayton's work is well illustrated, with a large, hand-colored map of the state, as well as maps showing Santee Canal, Winyaw Bay, and Georgetown, and engraved plates of the State House at Columbia, a water rice machine, and several fossils discovered in the up-country. After the book was printed, Drayton came into a map of Winyaw Bay and had the map and a postscript printed and tipped into some copies, including the present one. Drayton later wrote a history of the beginning of the American Revolution in the Southern colonies titled Memoirs of the American Revolution (Charleston: 1821). This text was based on documents Drayton inherited from his father, William Henry Drayton, a revolutionary leader prior to the Declaration of Independence. (Reese) Streeter considers Drayton's work authoritative; it is certainly an outstanding early Charleston imprint and an important account of the early American South. List of Plates: "Map of the State," "Teeth and Bones," "Census of 1800," "Rice Machine," "Modes of Planting a Rice Crop," "Santee Canal," "View of Columbia," and "A Plan of the Entrance into Winyaw Bay and Georgetown."
