[1] COOK. HAWKESWORTH, John. AN ACCOUNT OF THE VOYAGES undertaken by the order of His Present Majesty for making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere and successively performed by Commodore Byron, Captain Carteret, Captain Wallis, and Captain Cook... Four volumes, octavo, 11 plates and charts (all folding), plates offset, final gathering of third wormed, a few leaves browned or marked, a sound set in modern morocco, gilt. London, W. Strahan and T. Cadell, 1785. First octavo and third edition overall of Hawkesworth’s important edition of James Cook’s voyage in the Endeavour. The octavo edition was more accessible to the general public and had a wider circulation than the expensive quarto editions, despite which it is quite scarce today. Beddie, 665. Estimate $800/1200

[2] KIPPIS, Andrew. THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN JAMES COOK. Quarto, with frontispiece portrait of Cook (corner crease), without the half-title, later marbled boards and half calf, C.A.O. Fox with bookplate. London, G. Nicol and G.G.J. and J. Robinson, 1788. First edition: the first biography of Cook. Beddie, 32 and 1962; Forbes, 149; Holmes, 69; Hill 2, 935; Kroepelien, 647; Sabin, 37954. Estimate $1000/2000

[3] BURNEY, James. A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERIES IN THE SOUTH SEA OR PACIFIC OCEAN. Part I. Commencing with an Account of the earliest Discovery of that Sea by Europeans, And terminating with the Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, in 1579. Illustrated with Charts [Part II. From the Year 1579, to the Year 1620; Part III. From the Year 1620, to the Year 1688; Volume IV. To the Year 1723, including a History of the Buccaneers of America; Volume V. To the Year 1764]. Five volumes, quarto, with 28 engraved charts (17 folding), 13 plates, and six woodcuts in the text, a very attractive copy in period-style half calf and marbled boards, one front endpaper renewed. London, Printed by Luke Hansard and sold by G. and W. Nicol, et al., 1803 - 1806 - 1813 - 1816 - 1817. First edition of the cornerstone of the study of the discovery of the Pacific. Burney sailed with Cook as lieutenant on his second and third voyages. He commenced this remarkable undertaking so as to present a continuous history of Pacific discovery over the 250 years prior to Cook and his History is designed as a ‘prequel’ to Hawkesworth’s collection of the voyages of Byron, Wallis, Carteret, and Cook. His work was produced in a sympathetic format that allowed his five volumes to stand comfortably next to the eight quartos of Cook. In this “most important general history of early South Sea discoveries containing practically everything of importance on the subject” (Hill), Burney collected Spanish, Dutch, French and English voyages. Many of the voyage accounts published here are otherwise inaccessible and so the History “must always form the basis of historical research for early voyages and discoveries throughout the Pacific” (Hocken). Bagnall, 779; Davidson, p. 37; Ferguson, 372; Hill 2, 221; Hocken, pp. 30-34 (with detailed list of contents); Sabin, 9387. Estimate $10000/15000 [4] BLIGH, Lieutenant William. A VOYAGE TO THE SOUTH SEA, undertaken by command of His Majesty, for the purpose of conveying the Bread-fruit Tree to the West Indies, in His Majesty’s Ship the Bounty... Including an Account of the Mutiny on board the said Ship, and the subsequent Voyage of Part of the Crew in the Ship’s Boat, from Tofoa, one of the Friendly Islands, to Timor, a Dutch Settlement in the East Indies. Quarto, with frontispiece portrait, seven engraved plates and charts (five folding), period style half sprinkled calf and marbled boards by Aquarius, gilt, a handsome copy. London, Printed for George Nicol, 1792. First edition of the complete official account of one of the most celebrated Pacific voyages, Bounty voyage and the mutiny. Published after Bligh had left on his second and successful breadfruit voyage in the Providence at the end of 1791, the official account was prepared for the press by his former shipmate, James Burney, the future historian of Pacific discovery, with the assistance of Sir Joseph Banks. Ferguson, 125; Wantrup, 62a. Estimate $8000/12000

[5] BLIGH, William. A NARRATIVE OF THE MUTINY, ON BOARD HIS MAJESTY’S SHIP BOUNTY; and the subsequent voyage of part of the crew, in the ship’s boat, from Tofoa, one of the Friendly Islands, to Timor, a Dutch Settlement in the East Indies. Octavo, a little marking but a decent copy, bound without the half-title in worn cloth- backed boards. Dublin, Printed for L. White, P. Byrne, J. Moore, J. Jones, B. Dornin, Grueber and M’Allister, W. Jones and R. White, 1790. The rare Dublin edition, pirated from Nicol’s quarto London edition of the same year. Edge-Partington copy with bookplate. Ferguson, 72 (apparently in error calling for a chart – see Kroepelien, loc.cit.); Hill 2, 134 (“unlike most Dublin , this Irish edition is rarely found”); Kroepelien, 88. Estimate $600/900

[6] BARRINGTON, George. A VOYAGE TO ; WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY; The Manners, Customs, Religion, &c. of the Natives, in the Vicinity of Botany Bay. Octavo, a fine copy bound in half red calf of the period, spine chastely gilt with contrasting title label, paste-paper boards. London, Printed for the Proprietor; Sold by H. D. Symonds, 1795. The rare first edition of the original ‘Barrington’ voyage account, published by a prominent London publisher of chapbooks and other cheaper books. Much news was coming back to by various sources which added to the information provided by Hunter and Tench in 1793, but no new books had been published to satisfy the public demand that clearly still existed, particularly among the less well-to-do who could not afford the expensive journals of the officers. Accordingly, Symonds used this scattered and often ephemeral material to compile this account of the voyage to Botany Bay and of eighteenth-century New South Wales which he published under Barrington’s profitable name. Consequently, the ‘Barrington’ account includes many details of the colony not elsewhere available and, perhaps more importantly, this text in its numerous versions became the predominant source of information about the settlement for the greater part of the British public. Reprinted and pirated dozens of times, the ‘Barrington’ account of New South Wales was, with Mary Ann Parker’s Voyage, one of only two books to describe the voyage of the and the state of the settlement on its arrival late in 1791 when the colony was starved of supplies. It was sufficiently well regarded for a French translation to have been published as well as several American editions (see lots 7 and 9). Ferguson, 205; Garvey, AB1; Wantrup, 25 and p. 87. Estimate $3000/4000 Lot 6 [7] BARRINGTON, George. A VOYAGE TO NEW SOUTH WALES, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY; the manners, customs, religion, &c. of the natives, in the vicinity of Botany Bay. Duodecimo in sixes, text browned throughout as usual with American books of the period, final leaves a bit damp marked, blank free back endpaper little defective, bound with the half title in original tree calf – ‘tree sheep’ rather – a little rubbed at the extremities, unlettered spine with four gilt rules; withal a very good unsophisticated copy in original condition, entirely characteristic of American books of the period. Philadelphia, Thomas Dobson, 1796. Rare: the first American edition of the Barrington voyage account, in attractive and characteristic original condition. This was only the second book on the colony published in North America, preceded only by the 1789 New York edition of Tench’s narrative which is of such extraordinary rarity that one can confidently say the Philadelphia Barrington was the principal source of information about eighteenth-century New South Wales available to a North American audience. Only four institutional copies in (Mitchell, Dixson, NLA Ferguson, Monash). Ferguson, 235; Garvey, AB8. Estimate $800/1200

[8] BARRINGTON, George. A VOYAGE TO BOTANY BAY WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY, Manners, Customs, Religion, &c. of the Natives... To which is added His Life and Trial [as issued with] A SEQUEL to Barrington’s Voyage to New South Wales… Two volumes, duodecimo, with frontispiece and engraved title in the first work, one leaf of the Contents supplied in facsimile in the Sequel, several small neat repairs, uncut in calf-backed Mackaness morocco. London, C. Lowndes and... H.D. Symonds, 1801. The full ‘Barrington’ voyage account, published by a prominent London publisher of chapbooks and other cheaper books. Much news was coming back to England by various sources which added to the information provided by Hunter and Tench in 1793, but no new books had been published to satisfy the public demand that clearly still existed, particularly among the less well-to-do who could not afford the expensive journals of the First Fleet officers. Accordingly, Symonds used this scattered and often ephemeral material to compile this account of the voyage to Botany Bay and of eighteenth-century New South Wales which he published under Barrington’s profitable name. Consequently, the ‘Barrington’ account includes many details of the colony not elsewhere available and, perhaps more importantly, this text in its numerous versions became the predominant source of information about the settlement for the greater part of the British public. The original ‘Barrington’ Voyage proved so popular that Symonds published the Sequel in 1800, and subsequently issued an edition of both works in uniform style. The engraved frontispiece and title-page vignette in the first work are found only in this edition. Curiously, this engraving of convicts on the title-page appears to be the earliest unambiguous representation of convicts in a printed book, all earlier images having carefully avoided such depictions. Mackaness copy with his bookplates. Ferguson, 206 (misdated 1795) and 328; Garvey, AB21a; see Wantrup 25-6. Estimate $500/700

[9] BARRINGTON, George. A VOYAGE TO NEW SOUTH WALES, COMPRISING AN INTERESTING NARRATIVE of the Transactions and Behaviour of the Convicts: the Progress of the Colony; an Official Register of the Crimes, Trials, Sentences, and Executions that have taken place: A Topographical, Physical, and Moral Account of the Country, Manners, Customs, &c. of the Natives. As likewise Authentic Anecdotes of the most distinguished Characters, and notorious Convicts that have been transported to Botany Bay... Octavo, with the characteristic tanning found in American books of this period, early owner’s names on the title, bound in later half calf and marbled boards. New York, John Swain, [1801]. Rare: the first American edition of the ‘complete’ Barrington. Swain’s New York edition is the first American edition based on both the 1795 Voyage and the 1800 Sequel and is almost certainly reprinted from the Lowndes edition of both works published in London in 1801. Consequently, the New York ‘Barrington’ comprises the first American edition of the Sequel and the second American edition of the 1795 Barrington Voyage account, the first American edition of which was published in 1796 in Philadelphia by Thomas Dobson (see lot 7). Ferguson, 327; Garvey, AB26. Estimate $2000/4000 [10] BARRINGTON, George. AN IMPARTIAL AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL NARRATIVE OF THE PRESENT STATE OF BOTANY BAY, IN NEW SOUTH WALES… Duodecimo in sixes, 17.2 x 10 cm (somewhat trimmed), with handcoloured woodcut frontispiece; sigs [A]2 (p. [i] blank, p. [ii] frontispiece, p. [iii] title-page, p. [iv] dedicatory letter) + B-D6 (pp. [13]-48); colophon on p. 48 (“Bailey, Printer, No. 50, Bishopsgate within, [sic]”); bound with other pamphlets in a sammelband of (somewhat worn) tree calf of the period, spine decorated in gilt with contrasting spine label titled “Plays”. London, Bailey Printer, n.d. but circa 1800. Extremely rare: an unrecorded edition of one of the numerous reprints of the Barrington Voyage. Garvey (AB14) records an octavo edition, similarly titled, that was published by “S. and J. Bailey” but it differs from this edition, which possibly preceded it, in several ways. Bailey appears only to have published this one version of the Voyage – the two editions appear to be textually the same. The two Bailey title-pages (this and Garvey, AB14) were composed in close imitation but with significant variations: the rules on the present title differ, as does the long description of contents; the imprint is quite different. The clumsy composition of the long descriptive section on the title-page may suggest that AB14 is a subsequent, more considered setting. The text throughout is manifestly a different setting to AB14, being duodecimo rather than octavo and with a frontispiece that is not present in AB14. There are no ownership marks or scribblings in this volume to help provide a date for the sammelband in which this is bound; most of the other material bound in is late eighteenth-century where dated. The style of the binding, especially the spine label and decoration, is in turn-of-the-century style. The title-leaf has the tail-end of a watermark that may be the ‘0’ of ‘1800’. Estimate $1200/1800 [11] COLLINS, David. AN ACCOUNT OF THE ENGLISH COLONY IN NEW SOUTH WALES, from its first Settlement in January 1788, to August 1801: with Remarks on the Dispositions, Customs, Manners, &c. of the Native Inhabitants... Two volumes, quarto, two maps, 23 plates, (three coloured) and eight half-page engravings (two coloured), with both half-titles, contemporary speckled calf, rebacked in period style by Aquarius, preserving original labels, small, neat pressmark on the endpaper. London, T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1798 – 1802. First and best editions of the last, the most detailed, and the most painstaking of all descriptions of the First Fleet voyage and the first settlement. In its complete form, it is also one of the rarest. Written by Judge Advocate David Collins, who was also Governor Phillip’s Secretary and close friend and adviser, this was the last of the First Fleet journals and has been aptly described as the first history of New South Wales. Owing to Collins’s close association with Governor Phillip and his central role in the colony’s administration, he was in a perfect position to compile a detailed and informed record of all important transactions in the colony, commencing with the preparations in 1786 for the First Fleet expedition and recording the subsequent events in painstaking detail. This is also the best illustrated First Fleet journal, with highly-regarded plates engraved by Edward Dayes, probably after sketches by convict artist . The second volume, based almost entirely on the papers of Governor Hunter supplemented by official records and dispatches, is significantly more uncommon than the first volume. It is of great importance, both for its chronicle of later events and for the narratives of voyages and expeditions of discovery undertaken in the intervening years. These include the early coastal voyages Bass and Flinders, as well as the inland expeditions of John Price and Henry Hacking – including the first report of the existence of the koala, the earliest recorded sighting of a wombat on mainland Australia, and the first report of the discovery of the lyre-bird, which is here described and illustrated in colour for the first time. A most attractive and well-associated copy of this “cornerstone in any collection of Australian books” (Wantrup). Ferguson, 263 and 350; Hill 2, 335 (first volume only); Wantrup, 19 and 20. Estimate $8000/12,000

[12] HUNTER, John. AN HISTORICAL JOURNAL of the Transactions at Port Jackson and , with the discoveries which have been made in New South Wales and in the Southern Ocean, since the publication of Phillip’s Voyage... Quarto, frontispiece, engraved title-page, plates and folding maps, an uncut copy (310 x 245 mm), contemporary orange red papered boards, re-backed at an early date, retaining the original spine, with leather spine label. London, John Stockdale, 1793. First edition: an attractive uncut copy of this 'official' First Fleet narrative, written by the second governor, which continues Phillip’s 1789 Voyage as the official account of the first years of settlement at Sydney. Hunter gives an excellent account of many activities, particularly exploration and the settlement at Norfolk Island (based on ’s papers), which are treated more cursorily by the other First Fleet chroniclers. The engraved plates and maps, many of the latter from original cartography by Hunter, Dawes and Bradley, are very fine. Among other plates – most notably William Blake's engraving of an Aboriginal family after a drawing by Philip Gidley King – is the first published view of the First Fleet settlement at , engraved by Edward Dayes after a drawing by Hunter. The view shows the settlement at Sydney Cove at the very earliest stage of its development. Davidson, pp. 87-9 (“essential”); Ferguson, 152; Hill 2, 857; McCormick, First Views, plate 7ff; Wantrup, 13. Estimate $3000/5000

[13] HUNTER, John. AN HISTORICAL JOURNAL of the Transactions at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, with the discoveries which have been made in New South Wales and in the Southern Ocean, since the publication of Phillip’s Voyage... Quarto, frontispiece, engraved title-page (the date entire), plates and folding maps, one text corner lost, contemporary tree calf, rebacked (corners rubbed). London, John Stockdale, 1793. First edition: a handsome copy of this ‘official’ First Fleet narrative. Ferguson, 152; McCormick, First Views, plate 7ff; Wantrup, 13. Estimate $3000/5000 [14] TENCH, Watkin. A COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF THE SETTLEMENT AT PORT JACKSON IN NEW SOUTH WALES, including an accurate description of the situation of the colony; of the natives; and of its natural productions. Quarto, with a folding “Map of the hitherto unexplored country contiguous to Port Jackson...”, later half calf and marbled boards, retaining original endpapers. London, G. Nicol and J. Sewell, 1793. First edition: a fine subscriber’s copy of Captain Watkin Tench’s second book on New South Wales. The copy of subscriber Sir Foster Cunliffe, with his ownership inscription on front endpaper. Tench was the only First Fleet chronicler to publish more than one book. He had returned to England with other marines in the Gorgon in 1792 and this second, grander, account of the colony was published over a year later, at the end of 1793. Tench “completes his account of the first years of the colony and brings his record of events down to the end of the first four years of settlement. The map and text give important and full details of the early expeditions of discovery to the south and to the west, including those which Tench led himself. As an accurate, well-written and acutely observed account of the earliest years of Australia’s colonisation, it is a most important addition to any collection of Australian books. It is rare despite the hundreds of copies that were originally printed…” (Wantrup). Davidson, p. 76; Ferguson, 171; Wantrup, 16. Estimate $8000/12000

[15] WHITE, John. JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE TO NEW SOUTH WALES with sixty-five plates of nondescript animals, birds, lizards, serpents... Quarto, engraved title with vignette, with 65 handcoloured engraved plates, the leaves HH4 and KK4 in the second state, modern half calf and marbled boards. London, J. Debrett, 1790. The much- prized superior issue of the celebrated First Fleet journal with the fine natural history plates on Whatman paper and in original publisher’s handcolouring. In this special handcoloured form, it is the earliest and one of the best and most appealing of Australian colour-illustrated natural history books. John White was the chief surgeon on the First Fleet and Surgeon-general to the settlement, whose most remarkable, if still little recognised, achievement was the minuscule mortality rates among the convicts on the long voyage from England to New South Wales, in what is still one of the largest mass movements of humanity ever undertaken. He continued to overcome severe medical problems in the first settlement, working in atrocious conditions, and even became a pioneer of the use of native Australian plants as medicine. White’s often personal chronicle of the first ten months of settlement includes “many circumstances omitted by Governor and others” (Hill). During this time he accompanied Governor Phillip on two journeys of exploration, which he records here together with his own travels in the new colony, as well as the early voyages from Sydney to Norfolk Island. A characteristic ‘scientific gentleman’ of his age, his interest in Australian natural history was the inspiration for the publication of this journal, with its fine plates of Australian birds, reptiles, fish, plants, and animals. It is particularly noteworthy among the First Fleet journals for its scientific descriptions and engravings of many hitherto undescribed species. Publication of this account was arranged by Thomas Wilson, a Fellow of the Linnaean Society, who engaged Dr. George Shaw to provide scientific descriptions of the birds, reptiles and fish, Dr. James Smith to describe the plants, and the celebrated anatomist Dr. John Hunter to describe the animals. The plates were prepared by leading British natural history artists, most notably Sarah Stone and Frederick Nodder, from live and stuffed specimens sent by White as well as from drawings and sketches prepared for him in the colony. Abbey, 605; Ayer/Zimmer, 672; Casey Wood, 626; Davidson, pp. 81-6; Ferguson, 97; Ford, 2495; Hill 2, 1858; Nissen ZBI, 4390; Wantrup, 17. Estimate $9000/12,000 [16] THOMPSON, George. SLAVERY AND FAMINE, PUNISHMENTS FOR SEDITION; OR, AN ACCOUNT OF THE MISERIES AND STARVATION AT BOTANY BAY. By George Thompson, Who sailed in the Royal Admiral, May, 1792. With some Preliminary Remarks. By George Dyer... Octavo in fours, bound with the half-title in more recent half calf, the T.M. Ramsay copy. London, Printed for J. Ridgway, 1794. First issue of the first edition of a notably rare book, the first independent account of the colony by an eye-witness who was neither an official nor a convict (the extremely rare letters written to his aunt by Thomas Watling, who sailed as a convict on Thompson’s ship, were published in the same year). George Thompson “was a gunner aboard the Royal Admiral East-Indiaman when it sailed for New South Wales with 336 convicts in May 1792. He had charge of the convicts on the voyage and was in charge of the provisions. After his return to England he served aboard the Stanislaus Hulk and later, by 1794, he was mate in a merchant vessel that ran between St Helena and Denmark. He was not an illiterate man and seems to have been an observant diarist... While aboard the hulk, he was overheard recounting his experiences by George Dyer, a friend of the Scottish political reformer Thomas Fyshe Palmer whom he was visiting. Dyer sought permission to print his journal and it was published in London in March 1794, prefaced by a preliminary essay by Dyer based on previously published accounts of New South Wales” (Wantrup). Thompson describes Sydney at a time when the colony was at its lowest point, when the “famine” of the title-page was a very real threat. So poor was the state of supplies in those early years that Governor Phillip had decided to place everyone – governor, officers, soldiers, and convicts – on the same rations. Received with some resentment by his fellow officers, this was a remarkable and perhaps unparalleled decision that demonstrated Phillip’s advanced social and egalitarian sensibility. This is the first issue of Dyer’s edition of Thompson’s account, with the subsequently suppressed dedication to the Quakers. This contained expressions felt to be too harsh and many, possibly most, copies of this first issue have these expressions altered by hand. Within a few months of publication at most, Dyer printed an emended version of preliminary section and reissued the book as a ‘second’ edition. “Copies are very rare and many collectors are not even aware of its existence... No opportunity should be missed of adding a copy to a collection of early settlement books...” (Wantrup).

[London], House of Commons, 10 July, 1812. governed New South Wales from 1810 until the end of 1821. Over that decade the colony developed rapidly. Initially charged with reforming administrative abuses, encouraging self-sufficiency, and improving morality, Macquarie left the colony vastly improved in 1821. He encouraged public building and public amenities and under him the arts of civilised life flourished. When he left it after twelve years, the town of Sydney was more like an English provincial city than the frontier shanty town he and Bligh had inherited. Above all, Macquarie saw the colony as the rightful inheritance of the reformed convicts – the . Building on Governor Phillip’s policies, Macquarie actively encouraged them and his policy of returning them to the full rights of free citizens had a lasting and beneficial effect on the future development of Australia and the egalitarian character of her people. But his progressive attitude to the convicts and ex-convicts brought him into conflict with powerful opponents, the ‘exclusives’, who refused to associate with ex-convicts and objected to Macquarie’s patronage of them. In the last years of his rule Macquarie was constantly attacked in the colony and in Britain by this party. In the end they destroyed him. In 1811, following the deposition of Governor Bligh, there was enough uncertainty in Britain about the value of the transportation of convicts to New South Wales for a Parliamentary Select Committee to be formed to inquire into the system which had operated since 1787 and to recommend future policy. The report published in 1812 includes a complete transcript of the evidence given by many notable witnesses, including former Governor John Hunter (twelve pages), former Governor (19 pages), his deposer George Johnston (three pages), Scottish Martyr Maurice Margarot, Matthew Flinders, First Fleet chaplain Richard Johnson, and many other colonial officials. Extracts from several of Macquarie’s early dispatches are included. It is a document of high importance. The first major document from the Macquarie era, it is a paper of great significance in the early . It endorsed the existing system of transportation and “the liberal views of the present Governor”, and became effectively the foundation for Macquarie’s programme of civil and administrative improvement.

Very rare and highly important: Macquarie’s rejoinder to Bigge’s insidious series of reports, a splendid vindication of his administration in New South Wales. Macquarie returned to England in 1822. Forbidden to make any public response to Bigge’s reports, Macquarie replied to Bigge’s criticisms in a private 43-page commentary sent to Earl Bathurst in October 1823. In the following April, Bathurst informed him that he would receive a generous pension and wrote warmly of Macquarie’s “able and successful administration”. But still he was unable to speak in his own defence. Nor was he to enjoy retirement, dying in July 1824. His defence became public when the most substantial part of his 1823 repudiation of Bigge’s reports was posthumously published, under pressure from Macquarie’s friends, in this 1828 parliamentary paper.

Foolscap folio, two items together in old cloth-backed boards preserving the original wrappers of the Report, Bernard Brett copy with bookplate. [London], House of Commons, 1 September 1835 and 1 July 1830. Very scarce: “an extremely important source of information with reference to this famous case”. Ferguson, 1960. Following the agitation of opposition Members of Parliament, the Colonial Secretary published these dispatches from New South Wales. The tabling of these papers was a thoroughly dishonest representation of the Wentworth – Darling affair, anticipating, without ambiguity, the way the government would handle the whole matter. Darling’s dispatches relating to Wentworth’s attempted impeachment of him with all the various attachments and enclosures were printed here “exclusive of a Letter, also therein enclosed, addressed by Mr. William Charles Wentworth to the Right Honourable Sir George Murray…”. In other words, Darling’s defence against Wentworth’s charges, the Executive Council’s detailed critical response to Wentworth’s letter of impeachment, and other supporting documents were laid upon the table and printed but not the very case for impeachment that formed the crux of the entire affair! Once this deceptive conduct was revealed by Robison and his allies in the famous pamphlet by “Miles”, the Colonial Office was forced to reveal the entire text of the Wentworth impeachment and it was published in the parliamentary papers in 1832 as paper 620 of that year. Ferguson, 1355. Estimate $2000/3000 [30] WENTWORTH, William Charles. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR GEORGE MURRAY, K.C.B. HIS MAJESTY’S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES… [drop title]. Octavo in fours (sigs B – N4, B[bis] – D[bis]4), pp. 90 (last blank), xxx (appendix); a splendid unsophisticated copy, entirely uncut, folded into unsewn sections, and unbound as printed; preserved in a custom-made cloth slipcase with contrasting leather spine label. Not published. No imprint or colophon but Sydney, circa March 1829. A piece of the utmost rarity, this is one of only three known copies; it was not properly published and is extant only in the present form without title-page or imprint of any kind. This is the original printing of Wentworth’s letter of impeachment, articulating the charges against Darling and his administration, comprising the complete text, with attachments, of Wentworth’s letter to Colonial Secretary Murray (c.f. HRA, series I, vol. XIV, pp. 800 – 866). Wentworth had this document printed in Sydney in comparatively small numbers for distribution to influential supporters in England and New South Wales so as to bring about the impeachment of Governor Darling. Although it may at first appear unusual for this to have been printed anonymously without title-page or imprint, this document was not and could not be published in the formal or legal sense in New South Wales and it is highly unlikely that Wentworth ever even contemplated doing so. In 1827 Darling had enacted legislation (8 Geo. IV, 2 and 5) that made it illegal in New South Wales to print or publish anything anonymously and without the approval of Darling’s own Colonial Secretary and without a detailed imprint recording the printer’s and publisher’s names and addresses. Clearly, this was never a document that Wentworth would succeed in here. Ferguson considered this “one of the most important of a series of rare pamphlets and parliamentary papers relating to the famous ‘Sudds and Thompson Case’ during the regime of Governor Darling, and the subsequent passages between Darling and Captain Robison, an outspoken opponent of Darling’s measures. No episode in the governorship of Darling demands closer scrutiny on the part of the historian”. This is a remarkable copy, in absolutely original condition; Ferguson locates only his own copy of this piece (now National of Australia) and another in the Mitchell Library, with none added in the 1986 Addenda.

The Appendix was separately printed. It is signed differently (sigs A3, B-D4; i.e. pp. i-vi + vii – xxx) to the form of the Appendix found in the exceptionally rare complete work, which is signed [N2-4], B-D4. The separate printing here of this extensive record of documents in the case suggests that, although possibly merely one of a few proof copies of the Appendix, it is indeed a separate publication of those documents intended possibly for wider distribution to interested parties in England and Australia.

Editor and Proprietor of the Sydney “Monitor.” [woodcut vignette of Sudds and Thompson in spiked iron collars and chains in their cell]… Octavo, bound in half blue morocco and marbled boards. London, Published by Benjamin Franklin [i.e. Robert Robison], 1833. Very rare: suppressed and withdrawn by the author. The text of this famous anti-Darling pamphlet is based almost entirely on articles published by Edward Smith Hall in the Monitor. Hall, through his Monitor newspaper, was one of the most vocal opponents of Governor Darling, promoting the political programme of the Wentworth party. The revival of the Sudds and Thompson case and Wentworth’s move to impeach Darling were part of the overall campaign for greater self-government and freedom in New South Wales. This pamphlet, published under Hall’s name by Captain Robert Robison, was explicit in its condemnation of Darling and led to Robison’s imprisonment for libel. “This rare pamphlet, full of serious charges against Lieut.-General Darling… caused Captain Robison, its real author (in this form) and publisher, to be put on trial for criminal libel on an indictment presented by Darling. He was convicted on December 11, 1834, and sentenced to four months’ imprisonment. In his evidence at the trial, Thomas Russell Drury, a printer, residing in Johnson’s Court, Fleet-street, stated that he printed the pamphlet for the defendant. He also swore that the circulation was stopped by the defendant, who gave up the whole of the remaining copies after he was threatened with prosecution” (Ferguson).

London, T. & W. Boone, 1845. The rare issue of Eyre’s journals of his crossing the Nullarbor Plain, complete with the two folding handcoloured maps that are usually missing. Eyre settled in Adelaide in 1839 and immediately began exploring beyond the settled areas. After an unsuccessful attempt to open a northward overland route to Perth, he set off westward along the coast in February 1841. At the head of the Bight he sent back most of the party due to the difficulty of the terrain. Eyre, Wylie (his Aboriginal companion), Baxter, and two other Aborigines set out from Fowler’s Bay. Two months into the harsh desert crossing the two Aborigines murdered Baxter one night, stole the provisions and fled into the desert. Eyre and Wylie struggled on to the west until saved a month later by a French whaler near present-day Esperance. Rested and with renewed stores, they continued their journey and finally reached Albany. Virtually the entire second volume – some 400 pages – comprises a very detailed account of the Aborigines. This appears to have been the most extensive and detailed account yet published. Based on Eyre’s direct first-hand experience, it includes tables of vocabulary gleaned from the Aborigines met with in the course of his expeditions. When complete, as here, with the folding handcoloured maps, Eyre’s Journals is a highlight in any collection. Ferguson, 4031; Wantrup, 133a. Estimate $4200/4800

Blackwood was commissioned to make a detailed scientific survey of the north-east coast of Australia, with particular attention to the Great Barrier Reef – the first expedition “to be despatched to Australia on a purely surveying mission” (Ingleton). Attached to the expedition were the marine geologist Joseph Beete Jukes, the zoologist John Macgillivray, and the artist Harden Melville. From 1842 to 1846 they made a careful survey of the coast between Sandy Cape and Torres Strait, and explored the southern coasts of New Guinea, discovering most notably the Fly River. These surveys of Torres Strait and of the Great Barrier Reef were all of great importance, as were the discoveries made in New Guinea and the surrounding islands. So accurate were Blackwood’s sailing directions for this difficult part of the Australian coast that many still appear on modern charts. The scientific achievements were also considerable. Joseph Beete Jukes, the chronicler of the expedition, is “also remembered for his significant contribution to the proper scientific understanding of the Great Barrier Reef... [which was] charted for the first time in detail. His work on the natural history of the reef is considered a classic, strongly supporting Charles Darwin’s theory on the formation of coral reefs...” (Wantrup).

Octavo, with folding map, original green moiré cloth. London, For the Author, 1837. With the extremely rare ‘marginal notes’ pasted in – one of the prized rarities of Australian . The Blaxlands had notes and corrections printed on three octavo leaves that were to be cut into narrow slips and pasted on the margins of Mudie’s book but it appears that the notes were pasted into very few copies. Mudie’s was a famous and controversial book, a vitriolic account of New South Wales attacking the liberal administration of Governor Bourke. Mudie insulted and libelled many leading members of colonial society, and in 1840 when he foolishly returned to Sydney, he was publicly horsewhipped by the son of Judge Kinchela, who had been libelled in the book. When Mudie was subsequently awarded £50 damages the sum was raised by public subscription on the spot. This copy has a most distinguished provenance. It was originally the copy of Sir Maurice O’Connell, William Bligh’s son- in-law and a leading member of colonial society (despite being a Roman Catholic – an affiliation that made him immediately hateful to Mudie), with his bookplate. Later it was in the library of Charles Nathan, an Australian medical pioneer and evidently the first doctor to use anaesthesia in Australia, with his signature. Charles was the son of Isaac Nathan, the pioneer Australian composer. Ferguson, 2312 Estimate $3000/4000 Lot 38 [39] MUDIE. BLAXLAND FAMILY.

No Imprint [but Sydney, probably circa 1840 or later]. One of the outstanding rarities of Australian book collecting, this is a unique set of the extremely rare ‘marginal notes’ that were distributed by the Blaxland family to be pasted into James Mudie’s Felonry of New South Wales (see previous lot). The Brookes – Davidson copy is the only set of the marginal notes known in their original form, as three octavo leaves in two sheets, i.e. one octavo leaf and one octavo conjugate pair. Included in the lot is the Brookes – Davidson copy of James Mudie’s Felonry (Octavo, with handcoloured folding map of Sydney as frontispiece, this a little foxed, bound in more recent blue calf. London, 1837). When acquired for the Davidson collection the marginal notes were loosely inserted in this copy of Mudie’s book; there is no sign of earlier ownership to assist in identifying the contemporary provenance of the marginal notes.

A rare edition of this convict narrative in extraordinary original state as a folded quarto half sheet. This edition is evidently unrecorded. Transported for 14 years for an unspecified crime, Platt’s account of his experiences records life in convict gangs in Campbell Town, New South Wales. Frequently before the magistrates and given a total of 500 lashes, he eventually absconded, was recaptured and sentenced to three years working in irons on Norfolk Island. Later returned to the mainland he was again in trouble and ran away, this time taken in by the Knamage Aborigines with whom he lived for four and a half years, mainly in the Murrumbidgee area. Recaptured and returned to Sydney, he was given a ticket of leave six months later. He became free in 1848 and returned to England where he wrote this pamphlet. He published it in about 1850 as a 16-page pamphlet illustrated with woodcuts. This original version saw at least two editions and at least one late reprint published in London “for the Author” in 1862 (Ferguson, 14190).

London, T. & W. Boone, 1846. First edition: the last great Australasian surveying voyages, sailing in the Beagle, Darwin’s ship. In the course of their survey Wickham and Stokes completed the discovery of the north-west coast and accurately charted for the first time other stretches of coast. On the northern coast they discovered and partly explored five rivers, while Stokes and his men also undertook many expeditions inland which are recorded in the official account. Very scarce with all the loose folding charts. Ferguson, 4406; Wantrup, 89. Estimate $4000/5000

[42] TOLPUDDLE MARTYRS. LOVELESS, George. THE VICTIMS OF WHIGGERY; Being a Statement of the Persecutions Experienced by the Dorchester Labourers; Their Trial, Banishment, &c. &c. Also Reflections Upon the Present System of Transportation; With an Account of Van Dieman’s Land, its Customs, Laws, Climate, Produce, and Inhabitants... Octavo, modern quarter morocco and cloth boards. London, Effingham Wilson et. al, 1837. Very rare and important: the first edition of one of the rarest convict accounts of Van Diemen’s Land as well as being a milestone in the history of British trade unionism, for which it is, of course, best known. Tried and transported for administering unlawful oaths, the Tolpuddle Martyrs became the centre of national protest in Great Britain that marked the end of any successful opposition to trade unionism and made Loveless and his companions “saints in the trade union hagiology” (Printing and the Mind of Man, 305). Many editions of this pamphlet were published: all are rare, the first very much so. Ferguson, 2300. Estimate $2000/4000

[43] VAN DIEMEN’S LAND COMPANY. PROPOSALS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF EMIGRANTS as Tenants to the Van Diemen’s Land Company, incorporated by Royal Charter And Act Of Parliament 1825. Octavo, folding map with some handcolour, “North West Quarter of Van Diemen’s Land, including the Grants of Land belonging to the Van Diemen’s Land Company”, the map very mildly offset on the title, fine in more recent binder’s cloth. London, John Richardson, 1833. Very rare: it has been claimed that the pamphlet was suppressed because of its exaggerated claims for the Company’s land. Ferguson, 1723. Estimate $1200/1500 Lot 42 [44] AUSTRALIAN & GAZETTE (published by). MURRAY’S GUIDE TO THE GOLD DIGGINGS. The Australian Gold Diggings: Where They Are, and How To Get At Them; with letters from settlers and diggers telling How To Work Them. Octavo, pp. iv, 100, [8] (inserted advertisements), some general use, original white wrappers repeating the title within a border. London, Stewart and Murray, “Australian & New Zealand Gazette” Office, May-June 1852. The effectively unrecorded first impression of this rare and attractive early gold rush guidebook, of particular value for the diggers’ letters it includes. Murray’s Guide is more skilfully edited than most of the early gold rush guidebooks, with long extracts from letters, diaries, and newspapers well used to illustrate and illuminate the editorial advice. The New South Wales section, for example, includes a long extract by J.W. Rudder (possibly either Enoch William Rudder or his son Julius) on the construction and use of gold cradles. The Victorian fields being still little known in Britain at the time of publication, many long and detailed extracts are printed, illustrating the daily life and experiences of the first Victorian gold finders. It is this substantial Victorian portion of the volume that has high historical interest. The inserted advertisements relate closely to the emigration and digging interests of the book’s audience and provide an insight into the practicalities of emigration. They also provide a bibliographical point since at least five binding variants are recorded with different combinations of inserted advertisement before and after the text. Murray’s Guide was reprinted silently several times in mid-1852, almost certainly from stereotyped plates since the text does not vary in any way from one variant to another. This is the earliest and hitherto unidentified impression, issued in white wrappers, in contrast to the more familiar later impressions which were in yellow wrappers. Apart from the different paper used for the wrappers, the front wrapper of this earliest issue has “Price One Shilling” followed by a line in italics “Free by Post, Eighteen Postage Stamps”; this alternative form of payment is omitted from the subsequent impressions or issues with only the one shilling price present. In other respects the wrappers are identical. The dating of the various impressions or issues is possible from the advertisements, which include details of ships that were to sail for the Australian gold fields. In this first impression the earliest voyage advertised is 7 June and the latest 20 July; subsequent issues have later dates). A rare and evocative piece: we have traced only three sales – all later issues – in the last 25 years. Ferguson, 13021. Estimate $800/1200 Lot 44 [45] CARBONI, Raffaello. SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM. THE EUREKA STOCKADE. THE CONSEQUENCE OF SOME PIRATES WANTING ON QUARTER-DECK A REBELLION. Octavo, original wrappers (without any repairs), two small, old, non-disturbing ink blots on the front wrapper, an uncommonly good copy without any of the – usually crude – repairs to thin and vulnerable wrappers that are here undamaged. , The Author, 1855. A FINE COPY AND A FINE ASSOCIATION. Rare first edition of the only contemporary publication by a participant in one of the most seminal events in Australian colonial history and a choice association copy, being the copy of the printer, James Atkinson with two original August 1887 autograph letters loosely inserted. The letters, addressed to Atkinson, solicit him to sell a copy of the book to the Victorian Parliamentary Library. The Library had lost its own copy when it was borrowed by Peter Lalor and loaned to a friend (!), as explained in the letters. The letters are on official letterhead from the Librarian of the Parliamentary Library and, two days later, from the more heavy-weight Speaker of the Victorian Parliament. Atkinson may have supplied a copy but it is more likely that at this late date he had only his own copy, which he evidently kept. Statements by leaders of the rebellion appeared early in the Melbourne newspapers. The Age printed “Colonel Vern’s Narrative” on 15 January 1855, and on 10 April 1855, Peter Lalor’s “Statement on the Ballarat Rebellion” appeared in both the Age and the Argus. A few months later the long first instalment of Frederick Vern’s detailed version of events was published in the November issue of the short-lived Melbourne Monthly Magazine. Unfortunately, publication ceased with that issue and Vern’s narrative was not completed. It was not until the end of 1855, as the first anniversary of Eureka approached, that an extended separate account by one of the leaders issued from the press when, on 1 December 1855, Raffaello Carboni published what has become recognised as one of the great works of Australian historical literature. Carboni, a member of the revolutionary Italian nationalist movement, had been wounded in the 1849 Roman campaign and had lived in self-imposed exile in London for several years before arriving at the Ballarat goldfields in 1853. Working claims at Golden Point and Magpie Gully, he was also briefly a shepherd and even lived with an Aboriginal tribe for a while. An experienced revolutionary and a respected member of the European community at the diggings, he was a natural choice as the member of the miners’ central committee to be given responsibility for organising the foreigners in the Stockade. He attended meetings at Bakery Hill and spoke at one, and was one of the signatories who petitioned the authorities against the license hunts. As one of the leaders of the rebellion, he was one of the thirteen charged by Hotham with high treason even though he was not present in the Stockade when the soldiers rioted. However, his tent was pitched nearby and he was a helpless spectator when the massacre occurred. He was arrested shortly afterwards as he tended to the injured and dying diggers. Four months later Carboni and twelve other leaders were tried before Judge Redmond Barry but no jury would convict them and on his acquittal he was borne away in triumph on the shoulders of the crowd. Raffaello Carboni may appear a strange choice as the chronicler of the rebellion from the miners’ side, but this Italian composer and writer was also a linguist who had eked out a living as a translator during his London years of exile. For all its rhetorical exuberance his account is now recognised as one of the most reliable records of that bloody day and his analysis of the underlying causes is one of the most sound. Carboni had his Eureka Stockade printed in Melbourne at his own expense and sold it himself at the site of the massacre on the first anniversary of Eureka. A man dedicated to the cause of liberty, both here and in disunited Italy, Carboni left Australia in January 1856, a few weeks after his book had been published, and returned to Italy where he joined the Risorgimento. As the only first-hand contemporary account of a potent historical event and as perhaps the most idiosyncratic and robustly eccentric work of Australian historical and political literature, vigorously enlivened by humour and invective, Carboni’s Eureka Stockade is widely recognised as an Australian classic. This is perhaps the finest copy, and nicely associated at that, which we have seen on the market in decades. Ferguson, 7949. Estimate $40,000/50,000 Lot 45 [46] WITHERS, William Bramwell. THE HISTORY OF BALLARAT, from the First Pastoral Settlement to the Present Time. Octavo, pp. [ii] (Key to the view), xvi, 216; errata slip, folding panorama, 18 plates (six double-page), errata slip, additional chromolithographed title and four actual photographs mounted as additional illustrations, a few very pale spots but uncommonly fine in the fugitive original plum cloth, spine very lightly and evenly sunned. Ballarat, The “Ballarat Star” Office, 1870. The rare special extra-illustrated issue in uncommonly good condition. Printed on large paper (215 x 135 mm) with four additional actual photographs, mounted on separate sheets and titled in print below the image. The photographs are: a composite photograph of early Ballarat settlers; a photograph of Governor La Trobe; a photograph of Governor Hotham; and a photograph of Peter Lalor. In this extra-illustrated issue the list of illustrations on pages xv-xvi of the preliminaries differs from that in the ordinary issues, having been reset to include the four additional photographs. This issue is said to have been limited to 100 copies. Ferguson, 18714; Holden, 127. Estimate $2000/4000

[47] BURKE AND WILLS. SMITH, J. and A. REIFF. THEATRE ROYAL. FUNERAL ODE IN MEMORY OF THE DECEASED EXPLORERS OF AUSTRALIA, BURKE AND WILLS… Will be sung on Wednesday, January 21, 1863 [drop title]. Broadside, small quarto; fine. No imprint or colophon but Melbourne, 1863. Extremely rare: unrecorded. A fine separately published ephemeron comprising the six verses of this concert piece for soprano, tenor, contralto, bass, and chorus. Words by J. Smith, music by A. Reiff. There is one pencilled correction, which makes sense unlike the printed word it corrects, and is presumably authorial. Not in Maria; not in McLaren. Estimate $1000/1500

[48] DEEMING, Frederick Bayley. THE RAINHILL & MELBOURNE HORRORS. DEEMING, SENTENCED TO DEATH [cover title]. Quarto, pp. [4] (pp. 2-4 in triple-column, p. 1 printed in oblong format), woodcut illustrations on the cover page, folding as issued, fine. Colophon: Fred Jones Printer, 152 Club Garden Road, Sheffield (UK), n.d. but 1892. Very rare account of the murders of this multiple murderer, or serial killer, and his execution in Melbourne. Deeming murdered at least six women and children in Britain and Australia before being caught, tried, and hanged in Melbourne Gaol on May 23, 1892. At one time suspected of being the Jack-the-Ripper killer, responsible for the murders of eleven women in Whitechapel between 1888 and 1891, Deeming is considered by some to have been Australia’s first serial killer. Both Deeming’s parents had at one time or another been committed to insane asylums and he exhibited clear signs of insanity – he is know to have ‘spoken’ to his dead mother every morning at two a.m. This very rare piece – we cannot find any record of another extant copy – is a late example of the news-sheet or chapbook genre, more common a hundred years earlier. Such inexpensive pieces of a sensational nature continued to be produced in provincial areas late into the century, although more commonly at that time these were small broadside off-prints from local newspapers. Estimate $800/1200

[49] GREENE, William Thomas. PARROTS IN CAPTIVITY… With notes on several species by the Hon. and Rev. F.G. Dutton… Illustrated with coloured plates.

London, George Bell and Sons, 1884 – 1887. First edition of the first book to deal exclusively with parrots in captivity. Ayer/Zimmer, 274; Bagnall, 2314; Casey Wood, 368; Ferguson, 10071 (noting only the primary binding with vignette of a caged parrot on the front boards); Fine Bird Books, 103; Mathews, 100; Nissen IVB, 393; Nissen SVB, 215; Wettenhall, 125; Whittell, 303. Estimate $2000/4000 Lot 47 [50] HORN SCIENTIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION. WINNECKE, Charles. JOURNAL, ETC., OF THE HORN SCIENTIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL AUSTRALIA (with plates and plans). 1894. Foolscap folio, pp. 32 + large folding map, three folding charts & 13 leaves of photographic plates, some dusting and soiling, entirely uncut, bound in modern half calf, Rodney Davidson copy with bookplate. Adelaide, C.E. Bristow, Government Printer, 1896. An exceptional association: the copy of Sir W. Baldwin Spencer. This is the first edition of Winnecke’s leader’s narrative, published in the South Australian parliamentary papers. This printing was suppressed by the premier, following personal representations from William Austin Horn, the expedition’s financier, after Winnecke and Horn had fallen out over finances. McLaren, 16973. See further Mulvaney and Calaby, So Much that is New (Melbourne, 1985), pp. 132-4, for details of the suppression of this printing. Provenance: Sir W. Baldwin Spencer with characteristic inked ownership initials; Melbourne University Science Club with stamps repeated; Rodney Davidson (sale in our rooms, 25 July 2007, lot 546). Estimate $2000/4000

[51] MAWSON, Douglas. THE HOME OF THE BLIZZARD: BEING THE STORY OF THE AUSTRALASIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION 1911 – 1914. Two volumes, thick octavo, with in total 196 leaves of monochrome plates (including photogravure frontispieces with titling-tissue), seven double-page plates, and two folding plates, eighteen leaves of coloured plates with titling-tissues, three large folding tinted end-pocket maps, other illustrations (including maps) in the text; original silver-pictorial dark blue rib-grain cloth, spines lettered and ruled in gilt, front boards lettered in gilt with a central vignette in silver, titled in the image “Leaning on the Wind”, back boards with publisher’s device in blind; bottom edges uncut, blue top edges, fore-edges trimmed; a particularly fine, crisp and clean set. London, William Heinemann, 1915. First edition. An uncommonly fine, bright set of the classic account of Australian Antarctic exploration, frequently reprinted, revised, abridged, and translated. Mawson’s first expedition was an epic of endurance and this and his subsequent work in the Antarctic form the most significant basis to Australia’s claim to its extensive Antarctic Territory. The expedition charted the entire coastline between the Mertz Glacier and Grassberg, forming the last link in the chain that connected the discoveries of Dumont d’Urville, Wilkes, Scott, and Drygalski. Most importantly, they systematically explored King George V Land and the adjacent Terra Adelie. Mawson’s book includes a self-effacing account of his epic journey across five hundred kilometres of Adelie Land in 1912, without a tent and most of his food, “one of the great feats of human endurance” (Richards). This edition not in ANB; Richards, 337; Renard, 1022; Rosove, 217.A1 (binding b – no priority); Spence, 774. Estimate $2000/3000 Art, Literature, &c. Lots 52 – 100

Estimate $400/800 [58] CAMBRIDGE, Ada. UNSPOKEN THOUGHTS. Octavo, original dark red cloth, all edges uncut, protected in a custom-made bookform box with leather label. London, Kegan Paul, Trench & Co., 1887. Very rare: published anonymously and suppressed rigorously by the author who withdrew the volume from sale. Cambridge’s volume of, often intensely personal, radical feminist poems expressed in public form feelings and thoughts that were extraordinary courageous for her times and, given her status as the wife of a minister of religion, that were certain to cause pain to those closest to her. This is one of very few copies to have survived, almost certainly presented by the author to Henry Gyles Turner, whose copy it was. Turner was a close Melbourne associate of the author and it is known that, after having withdrawn the book from public sale, she did make copies selectively available to those whom she knew to be sympathetic. This copy has Turner’s bookplate and a manuscript note by him concerning the books withdrawal, together with another note identifying “Mrs Cross” as the author, a photoportrait of her tipped onto the front endpaper, and two loosely inserted exhibition notes (almost certainly by Turner and dating from a time when he put this copy on public display at some exhibition). The great significance of this volume in the field of Australian feminist studies generally, and in Australian colonial literary history in particular cannot be overstated. Estimate $2000/4000 [59] DOBSON, Rosemary. POEMS. Octavo, original patterned papered boards printed in white and black (lino-cut, designed and signed by the author), with red label scripted and printed in black, the unlettered black cloth backstrip, protected in a custom-made bookform box with leather label. Mittagong (NSW), Frensham Press, 1937. Rare: first edition of the 17-year-old poet’s unacknowledged first book, hand-set, hand-printed, and hand-bound at Frensham school in an edition of only 200 copies. This is a rarely-seen presentation copy, inscribed and signed by the author to her sister, Ruth, and dated September 1938. The volume comprises thirty-three pieces, of which five had previously been published in the Sydney Mail. The Frensham Press was established at Frensham School in 1937 by the children’s book author, Joan Phipson. It was Frensham headmistress Winifred West who suggested that the first book of the press should be a group of Dobson’s poems and that she should be Phipson’s assistant in the production of the work. Dobson sought to obscure the existence of this book – and it is not in Farmer nor his Supplement, not in Miller, not in Miller-Macartney, and not noted by the Oxford Companion – but it has been finally noticed posthumously in the of Australian Literature (I, p. 476). Estimate $700/900 [60] GIFFORD, John. A HISTORY OF THE POLITICAL LIFE of the Right Honourable William Pitt; including some account of the times in which he lived. Three volumes, imperial quarto, engraved portraits, contemporary calf, rebacked in crushed morocco. London, W. Bulmer for T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1809. Large paper set. Estimate $300/400

[62] HARDY, Frank J. POWER WITHOUT GLORY. Octavo, vignettes by Ambrose Dyson, original cloth somewhat used and shaken, hinges splitting but sound enough; protected in a custom-made bookform box with leather label. Melbourne, Realist Printing and Publishing Co., 1950. First edition: signed by the (co-)author in September 1950. Hardy was a shameless publicity-seeker and the book notorious, and yet signed copies are quite unexpectedly rare. Loosely inserted is a relevant typed and signed letter from Hardy date 9 February 1951. Also included in the lot are four of the surreptitiously produced and distributed typescript keys to the characters. It is said that these keys, identifying the characters, were the principal cause of the charge of criminal libel against Hardy. Estimate $200/300

[63] HEMYNG, Bracebridge. JACK HARKAWAY and his Son’s Adventures in Australia. Octavo, illustrations, 12 weekly parts bound in later buckram backed boards. London, Edwin J. Brett, circa 1890s. Estimate $200/400

Octavo, eight plates in colour, black & white illustrations, original pictorial wrappers, original pictorial wrappers; protected in a custom-made cloth slipcase.

Sydney and London, William Maddock; Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, and Rivington, 1880. Rare suppressed first issue complete with the poem, “The Song of Ninian Melville”. This is a rarely-seen presentation copy, inscribed and signed by the publisher “with the author’s compliments”. Estimate $200/400 [67] LANG, John. BOTANY BAY. Octavo, some tanning and dusting, original printed orange cloth (marked), top edge uncut. London, William Tegg, 1859. Rare first edition: an old newsclipping pasted in here states that some Sydney families, whose antecedents were revealed to be less salubrious than they might wish, attempted to destroy as many copies of the book as possible. While there is no evidence for this, it is true that this first edition is quite a rare book – we have handled only one copy, for example, a rebound and slightly imperfect copy from the collection of Dr John Loder. Miller, p. 598; Wolff, 3949. Estimate $150/300

[68] LAWSON, Henry. MY ARMY, O, MY ARMY! and other songs. Octavo, frontispiece portrait, little spotted, original pictorial Norman Lindsay wrappers. Sydney, Tyrrell’s Limited, 1915. First edition: scarce. Estimate $60/90

[69] LAWSON, Henry. SHORT STORIES IN PROSE AND VERSE. Octavo, wood-block illustrations and decorations throughout (some full-page and some by B.E. Minns), bound with the original wrappers in attractive green half morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. Sydney, Louisa Lawson, 1894. An attractively presented copy of the first and only edition of the first book by a great Australian writer, printed and published by his mother, an outstanding early Australian feminist who employed only women for her printing and publishing ventures. The volume was itself a nationalistic statement: “an attempt to publish, in Australia, a collection of sketches and stories at a time when everything Australian... must bear the imprint of a London publishing firm before our critics will condescend to notice it”. But in the end Lawson was unhappy with the book and his inscription in David Scott Mitchell’s copy reads: “This is my first book. Only a few copies were published fortunately. I withdrew the book from publication. The book should be interesting as a curiosity in printing”. Despite this self-deprecating tone, some of Lawson’s best-known and most enduring work was printed here, including “The Drover’s Wife” and “The Union Buries its Dead”. Mackaness, 1; Miller, p. 660; Richards, 314; Serle, p. 114. Estimate $800/1200

Tall octavo, binder’s blanks foxed, a most handsome copy, bound with the wrappers in contemporary polished speckled calf, spine with raised bands and gilt in compartments, double contrasting labels, marbled endpapers, all edges red, the copy of Alfred Lee with his bookplate and subsequently Dr. H.N.B. Wettenhall (sale in our rooms 22-3 October 2001, lot 646); protected in a custom-made bookform box with leather label. London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., 1891. Rare first edition of the first dictionary of colonial Australian English, including slang and words introduced from other languages such as various dialects of Pidgin and from Aboriginal languages. About half the book surveys other colonial Englishes but in nowhere near the same depth. Lentzner was a German scholar of English language and literature who spent some time in New South Wales in the 1870s. An impressive list of his published academic works on the subject in German is included on the last leaf. Estimate $300/500

[71] LINDSAY, Norman (illustrated by). WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT... of Aristophanes… Done into English by Jack Lindsay with illustrations by Norman Lindsay. Folio, original three-quarter morocco. London, Fanfrolico Press, 1929. Limited to 500 numbered copies. Estimate $200/400 [72] LINDSAY, Norman (illustrator). SLESSOR, Kenneth. THIEF OF THE MOON. Folio in sixes, 40 leaves in seven unsigned folio gatherings (i.e. [A-F]6, [G]4), eccentrically paginated pp. [4] (front pastedown and free endpaper), [xii] (engravings tipped onto pp. [vi] and [xii], 1 – 39, [40] (blank), [2] (recto text, verso with tipped on engraving), 40[bis] (recto) – [45] (verso), 45[bis] – [54] (last blank), [2] (blank), [4] (back free endpaper and pastedown), with three mounted numbered engravings by Norman Lindsay, original quarter white calf and leather-grain blue-green cloth boards, the spine lettered and ruled in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut, with the rare dustwrapper, with paper label on the spine panel and overlapping edges. Sydney, Hand-press of J.T. Kirtley, 1924. Rare: a beautiful copy of Slessor’s first published work and a rare suite of Norman Lindsay’s engravings. Number 10 of an edition purporting to be limited to 130 copies signed by the author. Although all proposed copies of the text were actually printed and bound, John Kirtley has several times recorded that at least half the edition was destroyed by a fire in the warehouse where the bound copies were stored. A similar reduction was suffered to the edition of Jack Lindsay’s Fauns and Ladies but a more substantial number of copies of Lindsay’s book had been distributed before the blaze. Of the surviving copies not many seem to have been distributed after the fire because Lindsay and Kirtley packed up and left for England soon after, taking with them the remaining bound copies. These bound copies were technically incomplete because, while Norman Lindsay had produced the requisite number of signed and numbered wood-engravings, these had not all been tipped into their respective volumes. That chore was left until copies were actually despatched to buyers (the same was true of Fauns and Ladies). Accordingly a substantial number of the 60 or 70 copies extant were never finished and never properly issued. Taking into account the loss of half the edition by fire, and the fact that a substantial portion of the copies that survived the fire were never completed and never issued, it is possible to estimate that perhaps only between about 30 and 50 complete copies were ever distributed and certainly no more than about 70. Thief of the Moon, complete with the Norman Lindsay wood-engravings, is one of the more manifestly rare ‘first books’ by a major Australian writer. Arnold, The Fanfrolico Press (2009), 2 (suggesting that perhaps only a third of the edition was made up); Miller, p. 334; People, Print & Paper, 179; Serle, p. 184. Estimate $2800/4200

[73] LINDSAY, Norman. EVERY MOTHER’S SON. Octavo, original cloth, fore-edge uncut; protected in a custom- made bookform box with leather label. New York, Cosmopolitan Book Corporation, 1930. First US edition, third impression. The UK and US editions were published more or less simultaneously, the UK edition as Redheap, under which title the novel is better known. The present copy is one of special interest. It is marked up (in pencil) for Australian government censorship purposes. A manuscript memorandum form is tipped onto the front endpaper recording the pages of offending passages in both this and the UK edition. Headed “C[ustoms]&E[xcise] A30/26379” the table of pages is signed with the monogram “CK 15-12-30”. The table helpfully enables one to read all the suggestive passages without having to search through 350 pages. More seriously, it is pertinent evidence in determining the basis on which the novel was banned. Estimate $300/500

The edition was subject to an injunction from the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 1980. The book remained unpublished until 1994 when the applicant, Copperfield Publishing, was deregistered and the injunction lifted. It appears that no copies were distributed before the injunction was lifted. Estimate $100/150

[84] LONE HAND. THE LONE HAND, the Australian Monthly. Volume I May 1907 [Vol. II, Vol. IV and Vol. VI]. Four (of thirteen) volumes, illustrations including full-page colour plates, without the wrappers in publisher’s cloth, gilt and decorated. Sydney, Bulletin, 1907-1910. Estimate $150/200

Melbourne, Murfett, n.d. [1944]. First edition of this enduringly popular book, perhaps Maltby’s best-known title. The first edition is rare, even the subsequent early impressions are now uncommon. Muir, 4742. Estimate $100/200

[87] MANNING, Frederic. THE MIDDLE PARTS OF FORTUNE: Somme & Ancre, 1916. Two volumes, octavo, marbled endpapers, original buckram, top edges gilt, others uncut, ribbon markers, Ralph Smith booklabels. London, The Piazza Press, Issued to Subscribers by Peter Davies, 1929. First edition, limited to 520 copies for subscribers only, of one of the best works of fiction of the First World War and one of the masterpieces of the genre: this is indisputably the greatest Australian literary work inspired by the experience of war. This subscription edition was not reprinted and was the only published form of the complete work which included expressions and other aspects that did not fit well with the establishment ideal of the noble soldier fighting in a noble war. This first edition is of much greater scarcity on the market than the generous limitation would suggest. Estimate $600/900

[88] MAUGHAM, W. Somerset. OF HUMAN BONDAGE, illustrated by Randolph Schwabe. Octavo, frontispiece and plates, rear board and endpaper marked, original bevelled cloth in (splitting) slipcase. New York, Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1936. Edition limited to 751 numbered copies, signed by the author and illustrator. Estimate $200/400 [89] MORA, Mirka. ORIGINAL CRAYON.

[92] NORTON, Rosaleen. THE ART OF ROSALEEN NORTON with poems by Gavin Greenlees. Quarto, with 31 full- page illustrations in the text, original cloth with chipped dustwrapper. Sydney, Walter Glover, 1952. Rare: presentation copy signed and inscribed by the artist, further signed by the poet, Gavin Greenlees. The edition was intended and stated to be 1000 numbered copies. However, on publication the Post Master General refused to register the book for transmission through the post and the publisher was charged with producing an obscene publication, halting distribution of the book. In addition, Glover had sent a large consignment to the United States that was seized by US Customs: they were burnt and the book became a prohibited import. Other copies had been sent elsewhere overseas but, as an obscene publication, could not be returned. It is impossible to say how many copies survived and how many were distributed. The present copy has a signed presentation inscription from the artist dated 2 October 1952, a little over a month after Glover was charged. It is one of the very few copies that got out. Estimate $600/900

[93] OLSEN, John. MY COMPLETE GRAPHICS 1957 – 1979. Quarto, pp. 248, with very numerous illustrations throughout (some coloured, others printed with sepia-grey background), near fine in original dark red boards, front board decorated in gilt with a design by the artist, with like dustwrapper. Melbourne, Gryphon Books, 1979. Rare: the unissued suppressed edition – one of only two extant copies?. The copy of Lou Klepac, who wrote the introduction, signed by him on the title-page and signed by John Olsen on the limitation page; Olsen has also crossed through the whole page and written “cancelled” underneath. A long note in the copy of publisher Richard Griffin tells the story. In his inimitable, amusing, and possibly libellous style, Griffin relates at length how he was only able to see a copy of the book half-an-hour before the launch. He immediately saw that the printer had transposed pages, positioned text improperly, and generally made the book unacceptable. After a heated discussion between artist, publisher and gallery owner, he found himself and his books on the street. He states that all copies were guillotined apart from his own that was later extensively marked up and pasted up for the correct second edition of 1980 (Richard Griffin’s copy, James Hardie Library, State Library of Queensland). It is evident that the eccentric Griffin was too aggravated, in his self- dramatising way, to notice that Klepac had palmed a copy, and maybe the others did too. So, while Griffin’s copy is indeed unique by virtue of his annotation, it is clearly not the only copy in existence. Estimate $800/1200 [94] RICHARDSON, Henry Handel (Ethel Florence Lindesay ROBERTSON). THE FORTUNES OF RICHARD MAHONY. Octavo, a bright, sharp copy in original red cloth with the very rare dustwrapper. London, William Heinemann, 1917.

[99] WHITE, Patrick. HAPPY VALLEY. Octavo, very good in original black cloth with onlayed pink papered labels, with the very scarce dustwrapper (little edge-chipped), protected in a custom-made bookform box with leather label. New York, Viking Press, 1940. The very scarce first US edition. White’s first novel was a significant success with the 2000 copies of the UK first edition selling out within a month, to be followed by a second impression in December and a third in July 1940, and as well as this US edition in 1940. It was awarded the Australian Literature Society’s Gold Medal. Hubber and Smith, C2. Estimate $800/1200

WEEKLY TIMES (periodical). “MASKS AND FACES” Nos. 1 - 36 [issued with] The Weekly Times. 36 tinted lithographs (complete), interleaved and with facing newscuttings; bound by Pounceby in (little rubbed) half calf and marbled boards. Melbourne, Weekly Times, 1873 – 1875. Very rare complete series of these pictorial supplements, issued over 1873-5. The series consists of full-page tinted lithographed portrait caricatures in the style of Vanity Fair representing prominent locals and a few others – W.G. Grace, for example. This set is complete with the suppressed caricature of Fr John Ignatius Bleasdale, an authority and active promoter of viticulture in Victoria. The caricature shows him in the facetious but not satirical style of the series leaning on a barrel with empty wine-glass in hand. This supplement was withdrawn at the insistence of Archbishop Goold, clearly concerned that it presented Fr. Bleasdale in a disreputable light at those times of active anti-Catholicism among the Protestant ascendancy. Bleasdale played a very important role in the wider scientific and educational community. His biography in ADB records his extraordinary civic contribution, with his “abilities as a critic on the subjects of mineralogy and new industries were recognized both in Australasian circles and later in North America” (A.D.B.). The suppressed Bleasdale supplement and the associated newscutting are present here: “At the last moment we regret having to disappoint our readers by not issuing the character portrait of ‘A Roman Catholic Priest,’ as already announced. The cartoon, we learn, was considered disparaging by the rev. gentleman whom it portrayed, and rather than hurt his feelings we withhold the picture”. Estimate $2000/3000 [106] BOOKPLATE. THREE LIBRARY BOOKPLATES includes first bookplate of Australian Subscription Library. Estimate $60/90

[109] CHIDLEY, W.J. THE ANSWER: An Essay in Philosophy by W.J. Chidley. Re-Written. Octavo, folding plate, a used but decent copy in original wrappers, rebacked with cloth at some time. Sydney, Printed for the Author, of 2 Crown Street, Sydney, by Sydney Dorning Smith, of 194 Glebe Road, Glebe Point, at his Printery, No. 200 Castlereagh Street, May 1914. Rare: one of several Sydney editions published between 1912 and 1914 of this famous work, pleading for radical reform of the highly taboo subject of human sexuality. Chidley so sincerely believed that his theory of natural coition, natural dress and natural diet was mankind’s only hope for salvation that he submitted himself to all the indignities and persecution that late Victorian intolerance could bring to bear. His book condemned and destroyed, himself arrested, fined, incarcerated and eventually committed to an asylum where he died within a few years, Chidley remained to the last obsessively defiant. It was for these Sydney printings that Chidley was prosecuted and his book banned. Estimate $150/300

Colour lithograph 800 x 480 mm, being the full sheet as printed with register marks and some small vignettes for colour registration below the bottom border; folded roughly at some time, with some short tears small holing at the intersection of the folds, later mounted, framed, and glazed. [Sydney, Harbour Bridge Official Opening Organising Committee, n.d. but 1932]. A very rare piece, although it shouldn’t be: a souvenir for public distribution of the Opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, comprising: a panorama of the harbour with the bridge and an oh-so-up-to-date aeroplane in flight overhead; two oval vignette halftone photos of the bridge, and an elevation; very numerous signatures of notables; and, at the bottom, a line to be completed by the owner: “I, ______, first crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge on ______”. There is “a strange feature that may explain its rarity. At first glance it’s worthy but hardly exciting … But what might look like a smudge or stain in the upper left side turns out to be a ghostly group of Aboriginal warriors rising out of the harbour and floating in the air above the coat of arms and showing marked antipathy towards the city and the bridge. I wonder what the artist was thinking. Even for 1932 it makes no sense. Aborigines as noble savages were coming into vogue as tourist images but over the coat of arms? Declaring war on Sydney? Even as a symbol of progress vanquishing the primitive it’s all wrong. I’d be willing to bet that once someone in authority looked at this properly the whole thing was dumped and never circulated. Which is how we explain its disappearance” (Richard Neylon). This exemplar is in untrimmed state and was never circulated but folded and filed, probably by the printer or some other person involved in the production. Only two copies appear to be held in institutions (Mitchell Library and the National Library of Australia). Estimate $500/900 Lot 159 Australian Aborigines. Lots 160 – 171

Suppressed and rare. A work prepared by prominent anthropologists from the West Australian Museum and published for use in schools, where it was received very well. Copies were evidently demanded back from the schools and the police are said to have seized copies held by a distributor. “The ‘problem’, was two photos, from Victoria of normal implements, which were considered by tribal Aborigines in the WA bush to look like ‘secret’ items. There were many complaints, but to no avail and the copies were pulped in 2004” (Peter J. Bridges). Estimate $260/380

In that time he had quarrelled with commandant Major Joseph Anderson, condemning his cruel system, his administration in general, and his alleged peculation.

His account of the two Australian colonies, based on several months’ experience, are comparatively brief, but they are give a good depiction of Sydney, Newcastle and Hobart under Macquarie as they appeared to a visitor. The Cramp is accompanied by Forbin’s book on Sicily (this, as usual, without a plate). Ferguson, 901. Estimate $100/200

Rare. “Maconochie wrote a Report on the State of Prison Discipline in Van Diemen’s Land … (London, 1838), at the request of the English Society for the Improvement of Prison Discipline, and with the approval of the British authorities. It was sent by Franklin (who was aware that it was condemnatory of the system) to the Colonial Office, which transmitted it to the Home Office. With accompanying documents, it was published as a parliamentary paper and used by the Molesworth committee on transportation (1837-38). There is no justification for criticisms levelled at Maconochie over the publication of this report, but the storm it aroused in Hobart left Franklin with little alternative but to dismiss him (ADB). Ferguson, 2508. Estimate $300/500

First Robertson edition. The so-called “Scottish Martyrs” were a group of five leading political reformers – Joseph Gerrald, Maurice Margarot, Thomas Muir, Rev. Thomas Fyshe Palmer, and William Skirving – who were tried for sedition in Scotland in a series of highly prejudiced trials in Scotland in 1793-4. Inspired by the ideals of Revolutionary France and by American radical Thomas Paine, they sought to achieve parliamentary and constitutional reform.

The history of the bushrangers, published originally in seven parts over 1891-3, was nominated as “Part IV. Whatever was planned as a third part was never published. Mackaness copy with bookplate.

One of the most popular of the gold digger’s guides, with tens of thousands of copies printed over 1852-3, it is based substantially on letters received from the goldfields, many of which are quoted extensively, and on the author’s wide personal experience of the colonies. Ferguson, 9356. Estimate $150/200 [231] ELDERSHAW, Finney. AUSTRALIA AS IT REALLY IS; in its life, scenery, & adventure: with the character, habits, and customs of its Aboriginal inhabitants, and the prospects and extent of its gold fields.

London, Published for The Author by Darton & Co., 1854. First edition: a racy and readable account of colonial experiences from the 1840s written by the Secretary to the New South Wales Parliament. Much of this charming book is taken up with the narrative of the author’s bush experiences in the decade before the gold rushes and a portrayal of colonial society. The informative and useful final chapter discusses the gold discovery and its social consequences as well as the prospects of the diggings, including a visit to Ophir in the early years. Ferguson, 9411. Estimate $150/260

[232] GOLD DISCOVERY. CORRESPONDENCE [AND FURTHER PAPERS] Relative to the Recent Discovery of Gold in Australia. Ten pieces, foolscap folio, illustrated with 13 single page maps or sketches (one handcoloured) and 10 folding Arrowsmith maps or sketches (nine handcoloured), one part in cloth, two in original wrappers, seven in modern wrappers and these sometimes with inked pagination indicating disbinding from a long sequence: one small stamp on title verso of one part, and a couple of roughly opened pages in the fifth part (which is almost entirely unopened): a fine set. London, House of Commons, February 1852 – August 1857. Rare: the complete set of the Gold Discovery papers. Estimate $1200/1500

[233] HARGRAVES, Edward Hammond. AUSTRALIA AND ITS GOLD FIELDS: An Historical Sketch of the Progress of the Australian Colonies...

Auburn, Derby and Miller, 1853. Experiences of escaped convict and castaway William Jackman, with detailed appendices on the Australian goldfields. Earnestly editorialised by Rev. Israel Chamberlayne, this scarce American publication grafts an Australian story onto the popular and well-established ‘Indian captivity’ genre. Scarce: Ferguson, 8067. Estimate $120/240 [236] JONES, Henry Berkley. ADVENTURES IN AUSTRALIA in 1852 and 1853. Octavo, a clean copy in original blue cloth, gilt and decorated. London, Richard Bentley, 1853. First edition: Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, with much information on the state of the diggings in 1852-3. Ferguson, 10990. Estimate $150/240

[237] KANN, Charles Albert (Moses). AUSTRALIEN OCH DESS GULDREGIONER [AUSTRALIA AND ITS GOLD REGIONS]: tillförlitliga underrättelser för utwandrare till Australien i synnerhet med afseende på öfwerfart, ankomst, bosättning och guld-gräfning. Octavo, pp. [iv] (half-title; title-leaf), iii-vi (last blank), 104; original cloth-backed unlettered dun boards, own ends. Götheborg, C.F. Arwidsson, n.d. but colophon (p. ii) dated 1853. Rare: the first Scandinavian gold digger’s guidebook, published in Sweden in 1853. Written by Charles Albert Kann, also known as Moses Kann, it was published anonymously. Kann was born in Stockholm but spent many years abroad, especially in England. It is presumably this English connection that inspired him to produce this work and provided him with access to detailed contemporary information. Australien och dess guldregioner is very rare, as is the Danish edition published in Copenhagen in the same year. That there were two editions in Scandinavia indicates a degree of interest that may well surprise us today. This simply produced 104-page Swedish emigrants’ guide to the goldfields of Victoria and New South Wales is well informed with quite detailed advice on the voyage, what to do upon arrival, how to settle in Australia, as well as how to dig for gold. Kann encouragingly includes a number of anecdotes of successful gold diggers. Having been written shortly after the first discovery of gold on the Turon, Kann includes specific information about the New South Wales diggings – the Turon, Bungonia, Abercrombie River, Summerhill Creek, Shoalhaven, and Wentworth diggings – but notes (in similar detail) only the diggings at Ballarat and surrounding districts, with advice on the overland route from Portland to Melbourne, and from Sydney to Melbourne. Ferguson, 11049a. Estimate $1000/1400

[238] MACKENZIE, Rev. David. THE GOLD DIGGER: A Visit to the Gold Fields of Australia in February, 1852; together with much useful information for intending emigrants.

First edition: very scarce anonymous account of the diggings based on Prout’s extensive colonial experience and illustrated with his fine drawings of Ophir, Blue Mountains, Summerhil Creek, and Mount Alexander; the maps are of New South Wales and Victoria. Ferguson, 6374. Estimate $1500/1800

Octavo, frontispiece and three coloured lithographed plates, large folding engraved map handcoloured in outline, other illustrations, original (repaired) cloth. London, T. & W. Boone, 1853. First edition. The earliest and one of the best contemporary accounts by gold fields officials, with illustrations, all after sketches by the author. Read was appointed Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands at the Forest Creek diggings and Police Magistrate at Bendigo. Ferguson, 14756. Estimate $300/500

[243] RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY. AUSTRALIA AND ITS SETTLEMENTS. Duodecimo, original embossed cloth, all edges gilt, a neat copy. London, circa 1853. Ferguson, 6296. Estimate $60/80

[244] SANDS AND KENNY (publishers). THE VICTORIA GOLD READY RECKONER, carefully revised. 16mo, pp. 218, [2] (blank), original embossed brown cloth, front board lettered in gilt, advertisement endpapers. Melbourne and Sydney, Sands and Kenny, 1857. Rare: although standard equipment for the digger, these ‘ready reckoners’ are now quite rare – , for example, records only the National Library copy for this example. Originally issued in 1852 by Sands and Kenny as The Australian Gold Ready Reckoner, and then in 1854 as The Australian Gold Ready Reckoner, carefully revised…, the present example appears to be the third revision. The legacy firm of Sands and McDougall continued to publish revised editions of this piece well into the 1870s. The ready reckoner is arranged in tabular form indicating the value of different weights of gold at progressively increasing prices – in this instance “commencing at £3 and terminating at £4.5s.9d. per ounce”. This copy has the rather delightful ownership inscription of “A. Stevenson. Peg Leg [Gully]. Maldon” on the free front endpaper, while the section of the reckoner for gold at £3.15s.6d. per ounce up to £3.17s.6d. per ounce is rather splendidly used, with traces of what are, surely, alluvial soiling. Clearly some success in the field was had by A. Stevenson. Estimate $120/180

[245] SHERER, John. LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF A GOLD-DIGGER. By John Sherer. Illustrated with numerous Engravings, from authentic sketches taken in the colony. Octavo, 37 engraved plates (mainly after S.T. Gill), front hinge tender, a few small marks and a touch of adhesion to verso of one plate, a very good copy in early half morocco and marbled boards, Angas Johnson and Glover copy with bookplates. London, Clarke, [circa 1859]. An unrecorded stereotype re-impression of Sherer’s popular book. Ferguson’s one variant has a different title with this colophon. A number of other variant stereotype re-impressions are elsewhere recorded. Not in Ferguson. Estimate $200/400 [246] SMYTH, R. Brough. REWARDS TO DISCOVERERS OF GOLD FIELDS… A Return showing the Names of all Persons to whom Rewards have been given for alleged Gold Discoveries… Foolscap folio, modern wrappers. Melbourne, John Ferres, Government Printer, 1867. + An 1861 New South Wales parliamentary paper, “Claims of the Rev. W.B. Clarke” relating to gold discovery. Estimate $100/200

Octavo, pp. 12 + frontispiece portrait, original wrappers expertly mended, an old horizontal fold (for filing or posting). Sydney, G. Murray and Co., circa 1890s. Rare. John Calvert’s story of his Australian experiences and his claim to have discovered gold may be more fanciful than factual but, as a London gold-merchant and active promoter of Australia, his part in the story of the Australian gold rushes is significant. Wallace’s is one of two works that provide more or less full accounts of Calvert’s claimed Australian experience that were published in the 1890s. Wallace wrote the first account, evidently on the basis of interviews with Calvert when he revisited Sydney in 1890. Jottings is full of interesting detail, including Sir Thomas Mitchell’s choice reply after Calvert had written to him in 1845, stating that “gold, silver, copper, tin, and other metals” might be found in New South Wales. Mitchell replied that “it was an agricultural and pastoral country, and they did not want any invitation or encouragement held out to dig holes for sheep and cattle to tumble into” – si non e vero e ben trovato. Ferguson, 18144. Estimate $260/340

[248] WATHEN, George Henry. THE GOLDEN COLONY or Victoria in 1854. With remarks on the geology of the Australian Gold Fields...

London, Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1855. First edition: one of the first books to discuss (in Chapter VI) the very recent discontent on the diggings which culminated in the Eureka Stockade massacre. + A worn copy of Sherer’s Gold Finder (1853) with plates based on S.T. Gill. Estimate $100/200

Thick octavo, with 15 etchings (one folding) and three folding maps (“Tasmania or Van Diemen’s Land”, “New South Wales”, “The World on Mercator’s Projection”), plates a little foxed, an attractive copy, neatly rebacked original cloth, retaining the original spine. London, Hamilton, Adams, and Co.; and York, John L. Linney, 1843. An important work, this is an essential source for the period with detailed and carefully observed information on the Aborigines, convicts, social conditions, botany and much else. The fine etched plates after Backhouse’s own drawings include the famous and frequently reproduced large folding etching of a convict chain gang – one of the few surviving illustrations. An itinerant Quaker missionary, Backhouse arrived in Australia in 1832, where he and his fellow missionary, George Washington Walker, spent six years travelling throughout the settled districts of Tasmania, New South Wales (including the penal settlements of Norfolk Island and Moreton Bay, of which this is one of the very earliest detailed descriptions), Port Phillip, South Australia and West Australia. This book is an outstanding record of those travels and an invaluable record of life in the frontier colonies. Bernard Brett copy with bookplate. Ferguson, 3558. Estimate $400/600 [254] BACKHOUSE, James, and Charles TYLOR. THE LIFE AND LABOURS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON WALKER, of Hobart Town, Tasmania.

First edition of Bonwick’s memoirs: a presentation copy inscribed to “The Inspector of Schools, Brisbane, Queensland” with a two-page letter to Mr Miller (?) dated 1 October 1904 tipped in. The letter complains – not bitterly – of his penury, his health and, intriguingly of his daughter, Esther Annie. He writes: “You had not a daughter, rich in life, who fancied, in hereditary delusion, that I, her fond father, was her cruel (?) foe”. His daughter was at that time just short of sixty and, one suspects, was the victim of early-onset dementia. Bonwick concludes his letter with the remark that his wife, by then deceased, “had warned me of coming trouble from our daughter”. The Reminiscences was probably privately printed by his son-n-law and grandson (we have handled a copy inscribed by the author to his grandson, Percival Bonwick Beddow, whom he describes as “printer of this book”).

An important collection of parliamentary acts. The system of government, the administration of justice, and the commercial circumstances of the colonies were continually changing during these active and often controversial years, and these Acts of Parliament are essential to an understanding of the period. Among the most important here are those that established and defined civil and legal life in the colonies for decades, such as the 1823 act establishing Supreme Courts in New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land (Ferguson, 914); the 1842 act establishing representative government in New South Wales and Port Phillip (Ferguson, 3407); the acts establishing the Australian Agricultural Company and the Van Diemen’s Land Company in 1824 and 1825 respectively (Ferguson, 948 and 1019), and so on. Each act was published separately but was paginated as for the series of Acts for the legislative year. The lot includes a few earlier and later acts that are in some way relevant. Estimate $300/500

In 1859, his exploring career at an end, Augustus Gregory became Queensland’s first Surveyor-General. The Ingleton copy with bookplate. Estimate $150/300

Exiled by his family to New South Wales in 1825, Alexander Harris worked as a cedar-getter until leaving Australia in 1841. Returning to London he became associated with the movement to promote emigration and wrote or co-wrote several works, most notably this classic account of Australian backwoods life. Essentially a fictionalised presentation of his own experiences, this is acknowledged as the most significant early articulation of the spirit of Australian egalitarianism. Ferguson, 10254. Estimate $80/120

Octavo, original brown cloth, front joint splitting and a little chipped (but sound). London and Newcastle- upon-Tyne, Hall, Virtue, and Co., William Kaye, 1862. Only edition of an extremely scarce volume printed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and published by a former settler in South Australia from 1856-1861. Writing of the colony under the administration of the eminently lampoonable Sir Richard McDonnell, Harrison’s criticisms of South Australia, its society, manners and pretensions are often wickedly satirical but not entirely malicious. Petherick claimed that the Angas family (who are ridiculed throughout) purchased and destroyed every copy of the book they could find. Ferguson, 10265 (repeating Petherick). Estimate $120/180

[299] HAYDON, George H. FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE IN AUSTRALIA FELIX. Two volumes, octavo, plates, an odd spot of foxing, publisher’s calf. Melbourne, Queensberry Hill Press, 1983.

Sydney, Charles Potter, Government Printer, 1890.

These are now rare and valuable.” Ferguson, 10573. Estimate $400/600

[301] HOWITT, William. THE HISTORY OF DISCOVERY IN AUSTRALIA, TASMANIA, AND NEW ZEALAND, from the earliest date to the present day... With Maps of the Recent Explorations, from Official Sources.

The condition is excellent: one issue lacks 4-pages, one issue has lost the masthead and a small portion at head of the following leaf, there are only a handful of short tears, and the final 2 leaves of two volumes are neatly repaired with tissue. Sydney, Joseph Gibbs, 1864-1870. An excellent run of this famous illustrated newspaper for a six year period. Publication commenced in 1853, and this sequence starts at Vol. 1 No. 1, being a new undertaking under the publisher Joseph Gibbs (later Gibbs, Shallard, and Co.). In this group of issues 26 Supplements, sometimes coloured, are called for, of which two (each being pages of illustrated text) are present. Estimate $6000/8000

Variant issue of the first edition of Flindersland and Sturtland; or, The Inside and Outside of Australia, the two volumes bound together with an unrelated frontispiece, in gilt-decorated cloth and with all edges gilt. “An account of the author’s tourist travels in Australia in the late 1850s and early 1860s… , Jessop records… an early expedition of one Ernest Giles whom the author met at Wilpena where Giles had stopped on his homeward trip from the north. This expedition, in the company of a Mr Mole, was from Adelaide to the northward in search of new pastoral land. It does not appear to be elsewhere recorded and dates at least ten years before Giles’s career became a matter of public record. Jessop supplies no precise date, but from the context it is clear that the expedition took place in the first half of 1859” (Wantrup). Ferguson, 10940; Wantrup, pp. 265-7. Estimate $100/150

[306] JAMES, G.F. et al. HISTORICAL STUDIES. Australia and New Zealand. Vol. I - vol. 16 (complete). 16 volumes, large octavo, bound with original wrappers in attractive binder’s cloth. Melbourne, M.U.P., 1940 – 1975. Estimate $200/400

Rare: an attractive and interesting provincial printing, comprising a series of reminiscences of Camden since the 1830s by the Clerk of Petty Sessions at Camden. Martin’s reminiscences were first published piecemeal in the Camden Times in 1883; the present copy, like others we have seen, incorporates, almost certainly in the author’s hand, a number of neat manuscript corrections.

First edition: the official narrative of Marsden’s pioneering voyage to New Zealand, undertaken at a time when New Zealand was under the – rather ill-enforced! – dominion of New South Wales. Nicholas’s description of Maori culture and of his short forays into the interior are of the greatest value. The account of the notorious massacre of the crew of the Boyd, related to him by a Maori leader, is the first from the native point of view. Bagnall 4268; Ferguson, 690. Estimate $200/400
