KOHLMEISTER (BENJAMIN) AND GEORGE KMOCH
Footnotes
Fine association copy of a rare journal of exploration in Labrador, the last copy traced on Rare Book Hub sold in 1939, with an inscription offering the name of the book's previously unrecorded editor, C. Latrobe. The authors were Moravian missionaries who, in 1811, set out in the company of fifteen Inuit to explore northwards of the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, making new discoveries. "However, when the Moravians attempted to negotiate with the British government [see provenance below] for a mission at Ungava Bay they were told they would be infringing on the privileges granted to the Hudson's Bay Company" (Howgego).
Provenance: Henry Goulburn (1784-1856), presentation inscription from the editor, and bookplate. At the time of publication Goulburn held the position of under-secretary for war and colonies, and was "principally responsible for colonial administration.. [playing a] key role as a negotiator at Ghent in July 1814 charged with negotiating the final arrangement of frontiers, fisheries, and maritime rights at the cessation of the Anglo-American War of 1812–14" (ODNB); by descent to the present owner.
