2 Angas, George French. SOUTH AUSTRALIA ILLUSTRATED. Impl. folio, First Edition; pp. [2](colour-illustrated lithographed title, dated 1846, verso blank), [2] (typeset title-page dated 1847, verso blank), [2](calligraphic litho-engraved Dedication to Queen Adelaide, verso blank), [iii]-iv(List of Subscribers), [4](Preface & General Remarks on the Aboriginal Inhabitants of South Australia); 60 superb hand-coloured litho plates, each with facing leaf of descriptive text (Plate 27 with 2 leaves); finely bound in half green morocco with marbled sides, with matching fitted by Aquarius; (small, unobtrusive stamp of the Zoological Society almost invisibly erased from two early leaves and present on a third; a few leaves with the faintest browning of extreme margins only); an exceptionally fine, unusually clean copy, the colours brilliant & full, with no sign of fading; rare. London; Thomas M’Lean; 1846-47. ***A most attractive copy, both externally and internally, and one of the two outstanding substantial collections of early coloured views of Australia (the other being Joseph Lycett’s Views in Australia, 1824-5), the work contains 41 fine topographical views (on 37 plates), of various parts of South Australia, 19 plates of the Aboriginal inhabitants, their dwellings and artefacts, 3 plates of insects and one of South Australian botany. A new species of Kangaroo is shown on one of the plates. The work is of great importance as a contemporary record of South Australia for, as the Author states in his Preface, “With the hope of preserving time and life-like records of men and scenes, so quickly passing away, I have endeavoured by pictorial representation, to describe the most interesting and peculiar features of South Australia and its Aboriginal inhabitants. I have devoted my time and powers entirely to the accomplishment of this task, visiting all portions of the Colony, and making myself conversant with the manners and habits of native tribes whose existence is unknown to the world”. The information portrayed on the Aborigines is particularly valuable. Two of the plates are by S. T. Gill - the view of Adelaide and that showing the Departure of Captain Sturt, August 1844, on the Central Australian Expedition - these are particularly fine early views of the city. #14526 A$45,000.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 320 2019

British politicians did so with the purpose of creating a trans-Pacific trading empire and this book is a study of the resulting British maritime and imperial expansion in the Indian and Pacific oceans.

37 Healey, Daniel. THE SEVEN CHRISTIANS OF CHAMPIONDOM. A Tale of the Times. Written and published for and by The Author. Sydney, N.S.W. Australia, 1885. 4to, First Edition; pp. 152; original half cloth, marbled sides, with gilt title label on front board, (spine and board edges a little worn, label rubbed; some mild foxing); a very good copy; rare. Sydney; The Author; 1885. ***Presented to St. Sophia’s Library by John Lane Mullins with presentation plate on front pastedown & pocket on rear endpaper. Almost unrecorded, scoring a footnote only to the Author’s work of satirical poetry ‘The Cornstalk: His Habits and Habitat’ (Sydney, 1893) on page 225 of Miller and Macartney, wherein is noted the existence of a ‘multiscript’ copy of this work in the Mitchell Library. Trove, which records only four copies, records also a contemporary review from The Bulletin (1 August 1885) which can hardly be bettered: “THE SEVEN CHRISTIANS OF CHAMPIONDOM.” We thought we had taken up an old tome written by the white fingers of a monk of the mediaeval times, all about demonology or theology, witchcraft or astrology. It was a pasteboard 10 x 8 thing of some 150 pages, in penmanship of various styles, copied off by a multigraph, or some such instrument, and entitled “The Seven Christians of Championdom.” It is neither a fasciculus nor a palimpsest, however. The reader of a few pages will wish it was. Criticism of it is out of the question. Mr. Healey, the author, says, in a preface, that he wrote the tale for publication in a journal which failed to appear, and that as other Sydney newspapers would not “purchase the rubbish,” he gives It to his readers in its present form. He heralds this announcement with “Hurrah!” Mr. Healey must have lived with a man who made a few jokes. In the city of Yendis, which is no doubt Sydney, he tells a native, who wants employment, to dress himself as a new chum, and say he arrived by the last boat. He describes fully the workings of the Equality Syndicate. This syndicate will sell land to the poor, and lend them money to build. Thus all will be come landlords. What will the present landlords do with their streets of houses? Sell them to the syndicate. What will the syndicate do with them? Bring out immigrants and rent the houses to them. Mr. Healey is sly occasionally. He can’t be praised, however. Neither is it possible to blame him. One would first want to know what he would have been doing had he not been labouring over the contents of this book. Any action ever attributed to human agency would come natural to a man like Mr. Healey. Some of these actions would have been better work for him than inditing the scroll. Others of them, though, wouldn’t. Hence our quandary. Perhaps we shall be doing the right thing if we employ Mr. Healey’s own picturesque word. Well, then, “Hurrah!” Neither of the terms ‘multiscript’ or ‘multigraph’ have an obvious meaning today, but the work has been produced by some sort of duplication of the Author’s handwriting. He refers to transcribing the work, so it may have been to some sort of lithographic medium, or perhaps to a form of collotype or some proprietary process which did not survive the test of time. The number of copies originally produced is likely to have been quite small. The text is quite readable and the Author’s hand quite legible. A curious and interesting work, written in anecdotal, reflective style, and not without wry humour. The title is a play on that of Richard Johnson’s SEVEN CHAMPIONS OF CHRISTENDOM referring to the alleged exploits of St. George, St. Andrew, etc. the patron saints of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal and Wales, first published in 1597 and many times reprinted in the succeeding centuries. #67966 A$450.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 320 2019

II & III, but clipped from Vol. I, with head of title-page & following couple of leaves to Vol. II a little stained from an early attempt at removal of the signature; a very good, sound and handsome set. London; J. Johnson; 1799. ***Ferguson 289; Hill 2, 974; Sabin 38963. One of four translations (one being an abridgement in one volume, 8vo only) published in London in 1798, here reprinted in 1799. Ferguson calls for an atlas of 44 plates, but it is doubtful that this was issued with this edition— his entry for the first edition (1798) of this version (F. 270) makes no mention of an atlas — probably it was only a binding variation with the plates in a separate atlas rather than bound up in the text volumes as directed by the publisher (one of the charts in Vol. III is in two sheets, which would account for the discrepancy in numbers). The voyage aroused intense interest but the ships were not heard of after leaving Botany Bay in 1788 and their fate was not positively determined until Peter Dillon discovered the wrecks at Vanikoro over 30 years later. #12603 A$2250.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 320 2019

66 Portrait: CAPTAIN JOHN SHORTLAND. H. Field, pinxt. H. R. Cook, sculpt. A fine copperplate engraving, 85 x 110 mm, approx., plus captions & margins. [London]; Published ... by J. Gold; July 31, 1810. ***John Shortland (1769-1810), naval officer, was born on 5 September 1769, the eldest son of John Shortland. In 1781 he joined the navy as a midshipman and went to Quebec in a transport commanded by his father. From 1783 to 1787 he served in the West Indies, first in the Surprize and then in the Latona. In 1787 his father secured his appointment as master’s mate in the Sirius when the First Fleet sailed for Australia. Shortland spent nearly five years in Australia including eleven months on Norfolk Island where the Sirius was wrecked in 1790. In 1792 he returned to England with Hunter and next year was promoted lieutenant in the Arrogant. In 1794 he returned to Australia with the new governor, John Hunter, in the Reliance as first lieutenant. In this capacity he was too busy to join his shipmates, George Bass and Matthew Flinders, in their expeditions, but on 9 September 1797, while on his way to Port Stephens in pursuit of some runaway convicts who had seized ‘the largest and best boat, belonging to Government’, he entered the estuary of the Hunter River, where William and Mary Bryant and their party had probably sheltered briefly when they escaped northwards in 1791. During his brief stay Shortland named the river, though for some years it was often referred to as the Coal River, made the first chart of the harbour in the form of an eye-sketch and collected some samples of coal; in a later letter to his father he predicted that his discovery would prove ‘a great acquisition to the settlement’. - ADB. #68147 A$85.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 320 2019
