[1] [TASMAN] ROBINSON, Sir Tancred (editor). AN ACCOUNT OF SEVERAL LATE VOYAGES & DISCOVERIES TO THE SOUTH AND NORTH. Towards the Streights of Magellan and the South Seas, the vast tracts of land beyond Hollandia Nova & also toward Nova Zembla, Greenland or Spitsberg, Groynland or Engrondland, &c. By Sir John Narborough, Captain Jasmen Tasman, Captain John Wood, and Frederick Marten of Hamburgh. To which are Annexed a large introduction and supplement, giving an Account of other Navigations to those Regions of the Globe. Octavo, title printed in red and black, 19 engraved plates (some folding; one with repaired tear), folding table, two folding engraved maps (one with short repaired tear), old calf. London, Sam. Smith and Benj. Walford, 1694. First edition of this important voyage collection. Tancred Robinson’s edition of recent voyages included an early account in English of Tasman’s 1642 voyage from Batavia, in the course of which he discovered Tasmania, New Zealand, part of Tonga, as well as re-examining New Guinea and the Solomons, translated from the 1674 Rembrantsz version of Tasman’s journal. Among other voyage accounts the volume includes Narborough’s important Pacific voyage. In his lengthy introductory summary of ‘modern’ voyages Robinson “implies that the Dutch had made great unannounced discoveries, and refers to the voyages of Quirós, Drake and Magellan towards Terra Incognita…” (Davidson), urging the British to take a more active role in maritime discovery – a plea that would gain greater public support with the publication of Dampier’s voyages in 1697. Robinson’s remarks on Tasman’s discoveries are often quoted: “tis the Discovery of a new World, not yet known to the English, ‘Tis probable by Abel Jansen Tasman’s Navigation, that New Guinea, New Carpentaria, and New Holland, are a vast prodigious Island, which he seems to have encompass’d in his Voyage...”. Davidson, p. 31; Hill 2, 1475; Landwehr, 370; Sabin, 72186. Estimate $3000/5000

[2] COOK, James THE THREE VOYAGES OF CAPTAIN JAMES COOK Round the World. Complete in Seven Volumes. With Map and Other Plates. Seven volumes, octavo, plates, folding map, early half calf and marbled boards, gilt, the first volume neatly repaired at head of spine, an attractive set. London, Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1821. New edition of the full texts of the original published accounts of Cook’s three voyages, with aquatint illustrations. Estimate $800/1200

[3] COOK, Captain James and Captain James KING. A VOYAGE TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty, For Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere. To Determine the Position and Extent of the West Side of North America; its Distance From Asia; and the Practicability of a Northern Passage to Europe. Performed under the direction of Captains Cook, Clerke, and Gore, in His Majesty’s Ships the Resolution and Discovery. In the Years 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779, and 1780. Three volumes, quarto, 24 engraved plates and maps (some folding), old calf (upper board of vol. II detaching), gilt. London, Printed by W. and A. Strahan for G. Nicol and T. Cadell, 1784. First edition of Cook’s third voyage, without separate atlas. Estimate $1500/3000 Lot 4 [4] PHILLIP, Governor Arthur. THE VOYAGE OF GOVERNOR PHILLIP TO BOTANY BAY; with an Account of the Establishment of the Colonies of Port Jackson and Norfolk Island... Inscribed by Permission to the Marquis of Salisbury. Embellished with Copper Plates. third Edition. Quarto, pp. 298 (pp. 122 misnumbered 221), lxxiv, [2] (advertisements) + frontispiece portrait and engraved title, two portraits, ten plates of views and ethnography, seven folding charts, four uncoloured natural history plates, and 28 handcoloured natural history plates on laid paper, one plate cleanly torn and well repaired, some neat marginal repairs and trivial paper flaws but a fine copy with the handcoloured plates bright and crisp; entirely uncut in the original publisher’s or bookseller’s marbled boards, neat old rebacking, preserved in a quarter morocco box. London, John Stockdale, 1790. The extremely rare quarto ‘third’ edition. Of the greatest rarity: virtually unrecorded. The remainder issue of the first edition of 1789, the self-described ‘third’ quarto edition, in its deluxe form with handcoloured plates. This is the rarest form of Stockdale’s edition of the official account of the first settlement of Australia. Early in 1790 Stockdale began publication of a quarto second edition in parts. It was the less than perfect organisation of the first edition text – a source of embarrassment for which he apologised in a preliminary notice to the reader – rather than the exhaustion of the first edition sheets that was the impetus for publishing that second edition with text improved and re-arranged. In the same year Stockdale also published an abbreviated and cheaper octavo edition. Interestingly, he included in that octavo edition some of the actual charts and plates from the first quarto edition folded and trimmed to size. At about the same time as he issued the octavo edition, he appears to have published this deluxe “third” quarto edition. Noting this hitherto unrecorded issue from a single rebound copy in 1986, with which the present copy agrees in essentials, Wantrup remarks: “The engraved title-page of the ‘third’ quarto edition is printed from the same plate as that used to engrave the title-page for the ‘third’ royal octavo edition of the same year. The text however is printed and signed as a quarto...”. The text of the ‘third’ quarto edition does, indeed, comprise the unsold sheets of the first edition printing. The plates also comprise unsold stock from that edition. In common with other copies examined or reported, the present example excludes some preliminary pages and some plates. In this 1790 deluxe reissue Stockdale appears to have included, wherever possible, handcoloured plates on laid paper from his remaining first edition stock, but where a handcoloured plate was no longer available he simply included an uncoloured impression on wove paper in its place or left it out altogether. Although it must remain unclear with no authoritative collation for this issue, it seems evident that the reissue never includes a full suite of the plates found in the 1789 issue of the first edition – certainly none of the few copies reported comprises a full complement. The two plates not found in the present copy are plate 19 “The Tabuan Parrot” and plate 26 “The Bronze-winged Pigeon”. Provenance: Hordern House, Sydney, 1993; Davidson Collection, sale in our rooms March 2005, lot 181; bought from the above. Not in Ferguson nor in the 1986 Addenda; Wantrup, pp. 62-3 (noting a single copy); see also Australian Book Auctions, September 1999, lot 710 (Hobill Cole copy). Estimate $12,000/15,000

[5] TENCH, Watkin. A NARRATIVE OF THE EXPEDITION TO BOTANY BAY; with an Account of New South Wales, its productions, inhabitants, &c. to which is subjoined, A List of the Civil and Military Establishments at Port Jackson. Second Edition. Octavo, with half-title and terminal leaf of advertisements (although this is not called for by Ferguson), modern speckled calf by Aquarius in period style. London, J. Debrett, 1789. Second edition of the first authentic eye-witness account of Australia’s foundation. None of the other First Fleet accounts are as personal and direct in their description of the first months of settlement. His book was a great success, with three editions in English, a Dublin piracy, as well as French, Dutch, German, and Swedish translations. Tench’s Narrative is surprisingly scarce on the market and, in one form or another, must be considered “a basic first settlement item” (Davidson). Ferguson, 49; Hill 2, 1685; Wantrup, 2 (first edition) and pp. 54-7. Estimate $6000/8000 Lot 6 [6] WHITE, John. JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE TO NEW SOUTH WALES with Sixty-five Plates of Nondescript Animals, Birds, Lizards, Serpents, curious Cones of Trees and other Natural Productions. Quarto, with engraved title- page, with 65 handcoloured plates on Whatman paper, bound without terminal advertisements (not issued with all copies); a fine crisp copy, the top edge gilt, others uncut, finely bound in more recent citron morocco by Rivière. London, J. Debrett, 1790. The superb Dutton copy of the deluxe handcoloured issue: with both ‘suppressed’ leaves. 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. In this copy the two suppressed leaves, Hh4 and Kk4, are in their rare uncancelled state. Following his pioneering researches in the late 1960s, Davidson wrote: “I have no doubt that a copy of White’s journal with the suppressed page is one of the great highlights of Australiana”. Wantrup initially disagreed (p. 77) but subsequently recanted and all evidence suggests that only a very small number of copies retain these suppressed leaves. Abbey, 605; Ayer/Zimmer, 672; Casey Wood, 626; Davidson, pp. 81-6; Ferguson, 97; Ford, 2495; Hill 2, 1858; Nissen ZBI, 4390; Wantrup, 17. Provenance: Henry Hampden Dutton (Theodore Bruce Ltd, September 1966, lot 669); Davidson Collection , sale in our rooms March 2005, lot 202; bought from the above. Estimate $15,000/30,000

JOURNALS OF EXPEDITIONS OF DISCOVERY into Central Australia, and overland from Adelaide to King George’s Sound, in the years 1840-1. Two volumes, octavo, with plates, complete with the two folding maps, original cloth with some fading and spotting. London, T. and W. Boone, 1845. A very rare presentation copy of Eyre’s journal, with inscription on the front free endpaper “Captain Stokes, R.N. | With the Author’s kind regards”. Presentation copies of exploration journals published by T. & W. Boone in the the epic age of Australian exploration are of great rarity, especially from one ‘Boone author’ to another. (For another instance see the Eric Stock sale, in our rooms, March 2001, lot 290, a copy of his journal inscribed by George Grey to Eyre). The journal records Eyre’s arduous and eventful expedition in search of an overland route from Adelaide to the Swan River colony. Ferguson 4031; Wantrup 133a. Estimate $4000/6000

[14] GOULD, John and Elizabeth. A MONOGRAPH OF THE MACROPODIDÆ, OR FAMILY OF KANGAROOS…Part I [II] [cover title]. Two parts, large folio, with thirty handcoloured lithographed plates, each with an accompanying leaf of text, errata slip in the second part; a trace of light foxing; original cloth-backed printed boards, preserved in a dark green morocco bookform box. London, Published by the Author, 1 August, 1841 – 1 May, 1842. Very rare: all published. Gould’s first essay on the Australian mammals was, like his first attempt at Australian birds, never completed, although he had a third part in mind as late as February 1844 when he wrote to Lord Derby: “I must beg your lordship to keep the two parts you have unbound, until you receive the next with Titles, etc” (Sauer, p. 51). But this splendid work on the kangaroos remained incomplete without title-page, contents, introduction or index and his account was subsumed within the great three-volume folio volumes of the mammals of Australia (see following lot). The Mammals incorporated thirteen plates from the Macropodidæ reprinted without substantial alteration; the general composition of one further plate, “Halmaturus Bennettii”, was largely retained but with the image reversed, the main animal redrawn, and background and foreground details altered more significantly. The remaining sixteen plates were completely reworked. Casey Wood, p. 365; Ferguson, 3197; Nissen ZBI, 1662; Sauer, 11. See also D.J. Dickison, “A Résumé of Gould’s Major Works” in Emu, vol. 38, pp. 118 – 131. Estimate $12,000/15,000 Lot 14 [15] FORREST, John. EXPLORATIONS IN AUSTRALIA: I.

London, Sampson Low, 1875. First edition of Forrest’s narrative of the first crossing of the continent from the west coast to the Telegraph Line. Ferguson, 9681; Wantrup, 200. Estimate $400/600

[16] GILES, Ernest. GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELS IN CENTRAL AUSTRALIA FROM 1872 TO 1874. Octavo, with half- title, and a large folding map as frontispiece (one fold taped on verso), original russet cloth, gilt vignette on the front board, spine lettering worn as often with this binding. Melbourne, Printed for the Author by M’Carron, Bird & Co., 1875. First edition of Giles’s account of his first two expeditions. Ferguson, 9912 (miscollated); Wantrup, 203. Estimate $500/800

[17] GILES, Ernest. AUSTRALIA TWICE TRAVERSED. The romance of exploration, being a narrative compiled from the journals of five exploring expeditions into and through Central Australia, and Western Australia, from 1872 to 1876. Two volumes, octavo, with maps and plates, a good set in original pictorial cloth, gilt, slight wear. London, Sampson Low, 1889. First edition of the collected narratives of Ernest Giles’s expeditions. “Giles’s claim to be the last Australian explorer is perhaps a little exaggerated, but he was undeniably the last great explorer. The very scarce two- volume account of his life’s work in the vast unknown tracts of the Australian continent is fundamental to a collection of Australian exploration books...” (Wantrup). Ferguson, 9914; Wantrup 202a. Estimate $800/1200

[18] GREY, George. JOURNALS OF TWO EXPEDITIONS OF DISCOVERY IN NORTH-WEST AND WESTERN AUSTRALIA, during the years 1837, 38, and 39, Under the Authority of Her Majesty’s Government. Describing many newly discovered, important, and fertile Districts, with Observations on the moral and physical Condition of the Aboriginal Inhabitants, &c. &c. Two volumes, octavo, with the two large folding maps in an endpocket, complete with 22 plates (six coloured), some plates with pale foxing, original cloth. London, T. & W. Boone, 1841. First edition of a classic Western Australian exploration account. Grey’s expeditions were a major advance in the discovery of the west and north-west parts of the Australian continent. He discovered and named the Glenelg River, the Macdonald Range, the Stephen Range, the Gairdner River, Mount Lyell, the Gascoyne River, the Murchison River and nine other rivers, the Lyell, Victoria and Gairdner Ranges, and many other features along the west coast. This work includes scientific appendices by John Gould, John Edward Gray, and Adam White. The Aboriginal rock paintings found on the first expedition are illustrated on several plates. Bagnall, 2336; Ferguson, 3228; Richards, 97; Wantrup 131 (miscounting plates in the second volume). Estimate $600/800

[19] HUME, Hamilton. A BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS in Connection with an Overland Expedition from Lake George to Port Phillip, in 1824. Octavo, endpaper margins chipped, accession number stamped on title, a good copy in original cloth with paper label. Sydney, S. E. Lees, 1897. Third (i.e. fourth) edition, with Addenda. A type-facsimile of the Yass 1874 third edition, published in an edition of 25 copies, inscribed and signed by Mrs Hume Barbour, who had this edition printed at the request of the Royal Colonial Institute in London. Ferguson, 10666. Estimate $800/1200 [20] KENT, Thomas. A LETTER TO BARRON FIELD, ESQ… Containing a Refutation of the groundless Assertions put forth by him to the prejudice of Van Diemen’s Land. By Thomas Kent, Esq. A Colonist who resided three years in New South Wales and ten years in Van Diemen’s Land. Octavo, with the half-title (piece torn from the blank top margin to remove an inscription – almost certainly a presentation one – and subsequently expertly and sympathetically restored); sporadic but largely pale foxing, nicely bound in modern quarter morocco, spine with raised bands, gilt. London, Printed for the Author, and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, circa 1824 – 1825. Very rare: Kent’s response to an address by Barron Field to the Agricultural Society of New South Wales. The pamphlet “contains, inter alia, an interesting account of the establishment of the wool industry in Australia” (Ferguson). This copy conforms with Ferguson’s collation but copies in the Mitchell Library and the British Library have an added three-page “Appendix” following the text, presumably indicating a secondary issue? Ferguson, 1029. See further ADB, 2: 44-5 for Kent’s extraordinary, if ultimately unsuccessful, entrepreneurial career. Estimate $800/1200

[21] LANDSBOROUGH, William. JOURNAL OF LANDSBOROUGH’S EXPEDITION from Carpentaria, in search of Burke and Wills. Octavo, frontispiece and large folding map, a good copy in cloth-backed card wrappers. Melbourne, Wilson & Mackinnon, 1862. First edition. Ferguson, 11329; Wantrup, 174a. Estimate $200/400

[22] LANDSBOROUGH, William. JOURNAL OF LANDSBOROUGH’S EXPEDITION FROM CARPENTARIA, in search of Burke and Wills. Octavo, frontispiece and large folding map, sealed tears at head of front wrapper, portrait and title, original cloth-backed printed pink card wrappers. Melbourne, &c., F.F. Baillière, 1862. The very scarce Baillière issue of the Wilson and Mackinnon edition of Landsborough’s Journal with cancel title-page. Ferguson, 11329 (variant issue); not in Maria (but see 109 for a related variant issue); Wantrup, 174c. Estimate $200/400

[23] LESSON, René Primevère. VOYAGE AUTOUR DU MONDE entrepris par ordre du Gouvernement sur la Corvette La Coquille; par P. Lesson, Membre correspondant de l’Institut. Two volumes, octavo, handcoloured natural history plates, and engraved plates, some foxing as usual, old name obscured on versos of front free endpapers, French quarter red morocco and papered boards of the period, little rubbed. Paris, P. Pourrat Frères, 1839. The ‘deluxe’ issue with the fine natural history plates coloured by hand. The official account of the 1822-5 voyage in the Coquille under Louis Isidore Duperrey was never published and so this scarce account by the surgeon and naturalist on the Coquille is the only separate narrative account. Lesson reported many important scientific details which Duperrey failed to publish in his incomplete account, including many extensive vocabularies and grammatical analyses, particularly of the Maori Language. The illustrations in Lesson’s work include over twenty plates of views, native costumes, objects and tools, as well as coastal profiles, while the beautiful, delicate handcoloured plates include illustrations of the kangaroo, kiwi, lyrebird, opossum, parrots, platypus, wombat, and several Birds of Paradise. In a small number of copies the non-integral illustrated title-page of the first volume (only) has the date 1838. The work was probably issued in livraisons (parts) over 1838-9. Ferguson’s treatment of the work contains substantial errors: his 2533 (describing copies with the mixed 1838 and 1839 title-pages), for example, calls for only 37 plates, giving rise to a belief in earlier years that there were two editions of the book, with the 1839 “edition” having more plates. Ferguson and others also appear only to describe this deluxe issue (with coloured plates); the ‘ordinary’ issue is identical but omits the handcoloured natural history plates. In addition, Ferguson initially transposed the collation of the two volumes in error (2787). Ferguson, 2787(rev); Hill 2, 1012; Hocken, p. 73; Sabin, 40214.

Villiers Stuart and one stamped number on a rear blank, a fine copy. London, Smith, Elder, 1833. First edition. Sturt’s full narrative of his two crucial expeditions into the interior, an account of over 4000 miles of exploration carried out in four years. Although the news of Sturt’s extensive discoveries had reached Britain within months of his return, with the results reported in various journals, it was this handsome two-volume account that was most responsible for rekindling the subdued interest in Australian discovery and geography. Sturt’s journal was the first full-scale publication of an explorer’s journal since the publication of Oxley’s book thirteen years before. It was a huge success, with a second edition being called for the following year. Among all the explorers of the heroic age of the 1830s and 1840s only the journals of Sturt and Mitchell went to a second edition. Ferguson, 1704; Wantrup, 118a. Estimate $1000/1500

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS AND BOOKS FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE RODNEY DAVIDSON AO

Lot 41 (part)

We are pleased to offer below a small group of documents and books from the estate of the late Rodney Davidson AO. Of special importance are three documents acquired from the descendants of John Batman in 1964. At the time of the second sale of the Davidson Collection these items, although listed in Mr Davidson’s catalogue, were not able to be found. Happily Mr Davidson’s executors have located these ‘lost’ documents and they are now offered. It is also the case that several books were not on the shelves in the library at Sky and so, by happenstance, were not included in the sale of the collection. Others, such as Paltock’s rare imaginary voyage, were purchased later – true collectors will understand the impulse to acquire what was not owned even after a collection is sold! [40] BATMAN, John. MANUSCRIPT MEMORANDUM, witnessing an agreement for Batman to maintain 147 ewes and three rams belonging to Charles Barnard, for eighteen months, the expenses to be borne by Batman, the progeny to be divided two-thirds to Barnard, one-third to Batman. Two conjugate leaves, folio, splitting along the fold, signed by Charles Barnard and John Batman. Hobart, 6th May, 1824. An agreement underlining the close relations between Batman and Barnard, who twice played a part in the rather dramatic events that sprang from Batman’s not entirely legitimate love affair with the convict Eliza Callaghan, whom Batman was accused of harbouring. Following the deposition of Edward Russell on 20 November 1825, the Superintendent of Police at Launceston, Peter Archer Mulgrave, directed this sub-poena to the Chief Constable, George Lawson, requiring him to bring “Mr. Charles Barnard of the Tamar” before him “to give evidence against in favour of Mr. John Batman charged with harbouring Elizabeth Callaghan a runaway convict. Herein fail you not”. George William Barnard, Batman’s close friend and neighbour, apparently called himself ‘Charles’, which seems always to be the name under which he was known. Later it was Barnard who accompanied Batman to Hobart in 1828 and provided him with a supporting character reference when he petitioned Lieutenant-Governor Arthur for permission to marry Eliza Callaghan, who had by then borne him four daughters (See Davidson Collection sale, lots 382-3). Provenance: By descent to Leslie John Batman Weire, John Batman’s great-grandson; Davidson Collection, acquired from the above, 1964. Estimate $2000/4000 [41] [BUCKLEY, William]. AN IMPORTANT MEMORANDUM TO THE PORT PHILLIP ASSOCIATION, CONCERNING THE REQUESTED PARDON FOR WILLIAM BUCKLEY, THE ‘WILD WHITE MAN’. Three pages ink manuscript of two leaves, white paper, tall duodecimo by dimensions, signed with ‘E’ monogram. [Hobart], 25 August 1835. The memorandum outlines to the Port Phillip Association, and specifically, one assumes, to John Batman, the terms under which Lieutenant Governor Arthur was prepared to issue a pardon to Buckley as requested from Bellarine Point by John Helder Wedge. The memorandum was dated the day before the pardon was granted and clearly states the legal difficulty arising in Arthur pardoning a convict outside his legitimate jurisdiction. Importantly, the memorandum also articulates the motivations of both the Lieutenant Governor and of the Port Phillip Association, stating that it was ”founded upon a desire to prevent bloodshed & to remove any inducement on Buckley’s part to make common cause with the natives in the commission of any outrages upon the white immigrants which might lay the foundation of a war of extermination… [in expectation that] the Aborigines may be so thoroughly conciliated as to ensure a lasting amity between them & the present or any future immigrants.” The writer of the memorandum (we believe it to have been Edward McDowell, Solicitor-General of VDL, 1833-7) also advises, in explicit terms, that the granting of any pardon to Buckley did not legitimate the Association’s claims to land at Port Phillip: “It will be understood that these are the only grounds for the present concession which must not be construed into an the admission of any right right claim made by the Gentlemen associated with Mr Batman to the territory at Port Phillip and any part of it.” The story of William Buckley is now well-known. Bricklayer and soldier, Buckley was sentenced in 1802to transportation for life for receiving stolen goods. He was transported on the Calcutta to Port Phillip in 1803, where Lieutenant Governor David Collins had been instructed to establish a new convict settlement. Buckley was one of several convicts who escaped from that abortive settlement at Sorrento. Buckley appears to have been the only one of the escapees to have survived but, when Collins moved the entire settlement to the Derwent River in Van Diemen’s Land, Buckley was effectively marooned without any hope of surrender. Wandering along the southern coast of Victoria, he was befriended by an Aboriginal tribe who believed him to be the reincarnation of a chief who had recently died. Buckley lived among the Aborigines for 32 years. Although he had seen several European visitors in that time, he said that he was afraid to give himself up. It was only when he learnt in July 1835 that Aborigines were planning to rob a visiting ship and slaughter the white men that he decided to warn them and surrender himself. He walked into the Batman camp at Indented Head and surrendered to John Helder Wedge. At first, Buckley had forgotten the use of English but after some days his command of his mother tongue gradually returned and he was able to communicate. Wedge thought that Buckley would be useful as an interpreter and as an intermediary with the local Aborigines. On July 9, 1835, he wrote to Acting Colonial Secretary John Montagu from Bellarine Point, Port Phillip, supporting Buckley’s petition for a free pardon and describing the circumstances in which Buckley had been found and enumerating the ways in which he already had been and would in the future be of assistance to the party. Buckley’s petition was written on his behalf by one of the clerks in the Batman party at Bellarine Point. The document itself was drawn up by Wedge and rephrases into the formal language appropriate to such a petition Buckley’s own account of his experiences since 1803, and more especially of the occurrences that led him to surrender to Wedge a few days earlier. Lieutenant-Governor Arthur acted promptly, even while acknowledging his legal incapacity, and a free pardon for Buckley was forwarded to Wedge in Port Phillip. Modern critics, constrained by fashionable revisionist orthodoxy, may doubt the sincerity of the clearly stated hope of Batman’s Port Phillip Association’s that they might live at peace with the local Aborigines. Nonetheless, as this memorandum makes clear, through all the new settlers’ statements and deliberations runs a paramount concern that they should not carry across the Strait at least one evil from Van Diemen’s Land: that there should be a “friendly understanding” with the local Aborigines. Despite the formal illegality of Lieutenant Governor Arthur’s pardon, it was approved by Governor Bourke in New South Wales, and, one year later confirmed and approved by King William IV. Provenance: By descent to Leslie John Batman Weire, John Batman’s great-grandson; Davidson Collection, acquired from the above, 1964. Estimate $8000/12,000 [42] [BUCKLEY, William]. “WILLIAM BUCKELY IS A NATIVE OF MARSTON NEAR MACCLESFIELD IN CHESHIRE…” [text continues]. 18 pages ink manuscript, on white paper, quarto, in fine state. [Bellarine Point?, 1835?] An important but unsigned contemporary document, recounting in considerable detail the experiences of William Buckley during his thirty years living among the Aborigines of Port Phillip. The document shows a degree of process which, together with its provenance, compellingly suggests that this document is the narrative constructed by John Helder Wedge from his interviews with Buckley and that this longer document formed the basis of, and evidently preceded, the briefer narrative of Buckley’s experiences between 1803 and 1835 that was included in his three-page petition of 9 July 1835 for a free pardon (see Davidson Collection sale, lot 393). Provenance: By descent to Leslie John Batman Weire, John Batman’s great-grandson; Davidson Collection, acquired from the above, 1964. Estimate $4000/6000 [43] FEDERATION.

Likewise a Description of this strange Country, with the Laws, Customs, and Manners of its Inhabitants, and the Author’s remarkable Transactions among them. Taken from his own Mouth, in his Passage to England, from off Cape Horn in America, in the Ship Hector. With an Introduction, giving an Account of the surprizing Manner of his coming on board that Vessel, and his Death on his landing at Plymouth in the Year 1739. Illustrated with several Cuts, clearly and distinctly representing the Structure and Mechanism of the Wings of the Glums and Gawrys, and the Manner in which they use them either to swim or fly. By R. S. a passenger in the Hector. Two volumes, duodecimo, contemporary mottled calf, rebacked. London, J. Robinson and R. Dodsley, 1751. First edition of this rare imaginary voyage. Paltock wrote at a time when Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver’s Travels were well-known and enthusiastically embraced by the reading public. Paltock’s remarkable imaginary voyage, a significant foundation work in the still embryonic science fiction genre, was clearly, if superficially, indebted to both of these masterworks. Consequently, it was little esteemed by the contemporary readership. Furthermore, the mid- eighteenth century prized realism above all else. Realism to life was the main novelty of the novel (not a pun but etymology), whereas Paltock’s Peter Wilkins was a flight of fancy (pun intended) too far. Nonetheless, there was a predictable Dublin piracy in the same year and translations into French (1763) and German (1767). There was only one new edition – in 1783 ( also rare). The book was recognised as a classic of imaginative writing when Coleridge, Shelley, Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, and other romantics wrote enthusiastically about it in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Frequently reprinted throughout the century thereafter, it was also the source for a number of theatrical treatments in those decades. Provenance: Hordern House, 2007. Estimate $1000/1500

Although the distribution of the book was ‘unauthorised’, the work was commissioned by Moorhouse. By one account (Michael Wilding), he wanted to revise some of the stories before giving approval to print but the printer apparently went ahead without authorisation, printed the work as originally submitted, and then distributed it despite the author’s objections. Another – and more probable – account (Paul Feain) has it that Moorhouse commissioned the printing but could not pay for it. In order to recoup some of their losses, Tomato Press sold the entire printing of 100 copies to a local secondhand dealer, Gould Books, who proceeded to sell copies piecemeal over the next forty-odd years Estimate $100/200

Penfold & Co for the Author, n.d. but 1932. Rare: the last of the Bib and Bub series, comprising stories in comic strip form to be coloured in. This publication was a commercial enterprise undertaken on her own account by May Gibbs – always dissatisfied with the returns from publication through regular channels.
