First Edition. This is a variant issue, with the plates printed in black and white on thin paper, rather than in sepia on thick paper. Heriot's position as deputy post-master general of British North America (1800-16) required that he travel extensively throughout the Canadas. As Spendlove remarks, the appointment was a fortunate one for posterity, for it was on these numerous journeys that he produced his many exquisitely fine watercolour and ink sketches, some of which form the basis of the present work. Like the majority of the topographical artists of his day, Heriot had studied under Paul Sandby at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and was certainly one of his most accomplished pupils. Spendlove considered him to be the finest watercolourist working in Canada at the time. "Illustrated books on North America are curiously few in the period with which we deal. By far the most interesting is Heriot's Travels Through the Canadas.interesting for its aquatints by Stadler and Lewis after Heriot."

Edition : First Edition., Contemporary marbled calf, rebacked. Gilt ruled border on covers. Spine in six compartments of raised bands. Gilt text on morocco label on 2. Gilt ornamentation on all compartments. All edges speckled. , ?The Scotsman Heriot was postmaster-general of British North America (Upper Canada) from 1799 to 1816. He took his orders directly from London, so there was usually friction with the colonial governors. Heriot devoted himself a good deal to travel into the western parts of Canada and the U.S. It is impossible to tell just where he traveled, as his personal narrative is merged with other accounts. However, all of are interest, and his book has a wealth of detail and is full of information on the fur trade, voyages to the North, Indians of the North and West, Eskimos, and the cod fishery. One authority calls this book ?the most complete description of British America which has ever been published.? Heriot was an accomplished artist and painted and sketched scenery and Indians all over the West. The many fine illustrations in this volume are taken from his own work. Indeed, this is the earliest and most important aquatint book published on Canada. The second part of the book is a scholarly study of the Indians of both North and South America. Heriot had access to the documents and books at the fine library of the Jesuits at Quebec, which he had used to publish a history of Canada in 1804. He made use of these unique materials to compile an in-depth study of Indian governments, customs, religions linguistics, and agriculture. The role of the Jesuits in America was also studied. Sabin states: ?Part second contains a minute description of the peculiarities of various nations of American Aborigines, principally derived from other printed works.? (Hill), Size : 4to (260x205mm)., Complete with 27 finely hand-coloured plates and 1 hand-coloured folding map. , References : Hill 801; Sabin 31489; Abbey 618 (plates only), P. blank, frontis, title, preface (iii-vi), contents (vii-xii), 1-602, plate list, blank.

Edition : First edition. Printed for Richard Phillips., Contemporary 1/4 calf over marbled paper, rebacked expertly, flat spine with decorative gilt motifs, title in gilt on spine., George Heriot (1759 ? 22 July 1839) was a Scottish-Canadian civil servant, author and artist. He is most notable as a major figure in early Canadian art. During his time in Canada, he spent a great deal of time travelling, as well as painting and writing. He published two books based on his experience of the country; The History of Canada from its first discovery (1804), and Travels through the Canadas (1807). The later of these is extensively illustrated with plates made from his own paintings. He arrived in Canada in 1792, the beginning of a quarter-century association with the colony. In his first years, little is recorded; some surviving sketches indicate he travelled around Quebec and Montreal, and he published one sketch in the winter of 1792. In 1796, he returned to Britain, travelling along the south coast and in Wales before spending some months at the University of Edinburgh. After preparing some paintings for exhibition at the Royal Academy, he left for Canada. Shortly after his return to Quebec, he was appointed to the relatively senior position of assistant storekeeper general, perhaps through the influence of his younger brother, the journalist John Heriot. He held his two positions concurrently, drawing the salary for both, and when this was discovered by the commander-in-chief in 1799 he was removed from the new position. However, he had met William Pitt when in London - again through his brother's connections - and through Pitt's influence was appointed the deputy postmaster general for the whole of British North America in October 1799. He replaced Hugh Finlay, who had fallen into severe financial difficulty and no longer had the support of the government. However, a later attempt to gain Finlay's former seat on the Legislative Council of Lower Canada was unsuccessful, and permanently soured Heriot's relations with Robert Shore Milnes, the Lieutenant Governor. He began his new career with vigour, aiming to expand efficient and speedy mail service beyond the existing Quebec to Montreal route, by using the existing profitable service to help kickstart a new network in the newly settled areas of Upper Canada. However, he quickly encountered both administrative and financial problems; the postmaster general required that all new services be able to support themselves and refused to allow profits to be reinvested in the system rather than being remitted to central government. However, he received a certain degree of support from the local authorities - Peter Hunter, the lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, was strongly in favour of improved infrastructure - and by 1805 had obtained a noticeable though limited increase in the quality of service in the west. However, he found himself increasingly at odds with the administration, and eventually resigned his position in 1816. He returned to Britain, where he retired., Size : 4to (Quarto). , Extra illustrated with 33 plates (generally 27); a folding frontispiece, 2 folding maps, 9 folding plates, 21 single page plates.
