COX, W. Gibbons
The Artesian Water-Supply of Australia from a Geographical Standpoint.
8vo. 17 pages including in-text illustrations, plus a folding colour map measuring approximately 38 x 26 cm. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, containing other accounts as well, seldom found in such good and original condition. Irrigation and drainage engineer Gibbons W. Cox examines for the first time the Artesian basin of Australia, for the purpose of offsetting periods of drought by way of a "fuller utilization of the artesian water conserved in the crust of the Earth." Noting that Australia's rivers are few, and suggesting that it will become increasingly costly to hold their flood-time waters in canals and reservoirs, he calls attention to the immediate need for "remedy to the existing defects in administration of this valuable asset." To substantiate the concept, he examines similar regions, including Madras, Persia, the Sahara Desert regions of Algeria, and especially the United States of America, providing impressive statistics of success, where in some regions whole communities survive only by the "transformations produced by artesian waters upon sandy wastes" even with the most primitive systems in place. Following this, he illustrates the current usages of outflow waters tapped into with bore holes, and the loss of invaluable water. Alarming and factual statistics are presented, the loss of 31,340,000 sheep from 1890-1899, and 975,645 cattle in the year 1900 alone, to bring awareness to the critical water problem. Costs and effectiveness of river irrigation versus better management of artesian waters support his urgent recommendation. Together with photographic and sketch illustrations, and a colour map showing the expanse of the underground basin and partially reclaimed regions within Queensland alone, Cox makes a most compelling argument, concluding that, "... the only alternative lies in a greater increase in artesian supplies, and their adoption for systematic irrigation (for at least fodder and stock), and thus induce a larger pastoral and agricultural population to settle on the land... It is easily conceivable that sufficient water might be tapped by a great increase or artesian borings in Australia, which would provide permanent rivers and creeks in the interior from which systematic irrigation could be carried out... there would be greater evaporation, increased moisture, and a far more equable climate..." A discussion then ponders the sustainability of the water source, a most important topic which remains a question still today 110 years later! [A recent study, 2013, has assessed the sustainability of the artesian reservoir, through a comprehensive examination of the Basin's water flows, hydrology and geology.]

Just when it looks like Elvis has found Karen and her son Toby all too easily Karen turns out to be laundering money for the Mafia and the story takes off like a two-stage rocket. It'll take all of Elvis's wise-guy savvy to pry Karen loose from those other wise-guys without condemning her to the witness-protection program or the East River. Elvis is as sharp as a West Coast Spenser.and this story is pure pleasure from the very first page". -- Kirkus Review. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Bantam Hardcover

CROMMELIN - LONGITUDE AT SEA
An Adaptation of Major Grant's Graphical Method of Predicting Occultations to the Elements Now Given in the Nautical Almanac
8vo. 6 pages, plus 2 large folding diagrams. A rare separate offprint printed for the Royal Geographical Society. Publisher's blue titled wrappers, string-tied and bearing the society's crest. Some light foxing, otherwise in very good and original condition. The author, a respected astronomer and well-known authority on comets, renders praise to the primary research and calculations of Major S.C.N. Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars which greatly simplifies the detremination of Longitude at Sea. He further introduces the application to the Solar Eclipse phenomenon. Exceedingly rare dissertation by an important nineteenth century astronomer. Six years prior to Crommelin's study, Grant published a six page report and illustration, titled "Diagram for Determining the Parallaxes in Declination and Right Ascension of a Heavenly Body, and its Application to the Prediction of Occultations." Crommelin was famed for his computations of cometary orbits. He took part in expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1912, and 1927. In 1919 he participated in the solar eclipse expedition to Brazil which aimed to determine the amount of the deflection of light caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The results from these observations were crucial in providing confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity, which Albert Einstein had proposed in 1916.

Cumming, C.F. Gordon.
AT HOME IN FIJI. Second Edition, Complete In One Volume.
pp. x, 365, (7)[Publisher's catalogue] + Frontis, full page drawings and folding map of the Fiji Archipelago. Inked ownership. First signature slightly dampstained. Slight age staining. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, worn, stained and spotted. Hardbound. Early American edition of a classic on life in the South Pacific. Constance Frederica 'Eka' Gordon-Cumming (1837-1924) was a travel writer and painter. She was born in Scotland, the 12th child of a wealthy family. She taught herself how to paint, and had help from artists visiting her home, including one of Queen Victoria's favorite painters, Sir Edwin Landseer. After spending a year in India in 1867, she became interested in travel. Gordon-Cumming was a prolific travel writer and landscape painter who traveled the world, mostly in Asia and the Pacific. She painted over a thousand watercolors. Miss Gordon-Cumming received much criticism from male writers of the era, perhaps because she did not fit in the traditional Victorian role of women, as she often traveled alone and unaided. . **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
