Melbourne: Published by Edition Renard, 2005. 8vo, Deluxe Limited Edition; pp. [vi], 42(last colophon); sewn & cased in original papered boards, with printed title-label and translucent dustwrapper. Melbourne; Edition Renard; 2005. ***Deluxe Limited Edition of 75 copies within a total edition of 200 numbered copies, and now first published since about 1810. All the original editions are of great rarity. No copies of the 2nd or 3rd editions have been recorded and the first (Southampton, 1803) edition is extremely rare, while the 4th (Oxford, 1806), 5th (London, 1809), 5th (i.e. 6th, Cork, undated), and 6th (i.e. 7th, Dublin, also undated), editions are all very rare. The work is of considerable importance as one of the few accounts of Hunter’s period as Governor. Hunter was dissatisfied with Bond’s behaviour in the colony and complained of him in dispatches. Hunter was instructed to return him to England and Bond left the colony under a cloud in 1800, but his narrative was evidently very popular. He gives an account of the operation of the convict system and the economic corruption in the colony, and describes early efforts to encourage free settlers. He includes also comments on the Aborigines and on the natural history of the colony, including much from first- hand experience.

The journal is penned in a clear and legible hand. Bradley was on the Sirius on her voyage to the Cape of Good Hope for supplies, which went eastwards and around Cape Horn, meeting in these high latitudes the “ice islands” amongst which they sailed for twenty-eight days. His illustrations include two fine watercolours of these “ice islands”. He also recounts the wreck of the “Sirius” at Norfolk Island and the subsequent story of the crew during their eventual return to England on a chartered Dutch vessel. #26219 A$185.00 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 71 2013. 12 Broken Hill: THE ZINC CORPORATION.
