ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Dr. F. von Hochstetter; Dr. A. Petermann
The Geology of New Zealand: In Explanation of the Geographical and Topographical Atlas of New Zealand - Rare NZ Imprint.
An English translation by Dr. C. F. Fisher, from the Scientific Publications of the Novara Expedition, comprising important and fascinating observations and survey work by German-Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter at the onset of British settlement in the region. 8vo. 113 pages, plus table of contents, title page. Red cloth boards titled in gilt to front. Volume measures approximately 14 x 21 cm. Faint blemish to boards, otherwise very good condition, clean and bright. An early work presenting discoveries made in New Zealand, specifically in Auckland and Nelson, during the Austrian Imperial Novara Expedition. It includes two important lectures delivered by esteemed geologist and expedition leader Ferdinand von Hochstetter. A principal member of the expedition, Hochstetter was involved in its planning from the onset. His surveys were used in the making of the first geological map of New Zealand, created the bases for future geological research. The Novara Expedition (1857-1859) was the first large-scale scientific, around-the-world mission of the Austrian Imperial navy. In 1859, during the expedition, Hochstetter was funded by the government of New Zealand to make a rapid geological survey of the islands. Over 150 years later, his work is regarded as an authoritative primary source still today. the volume's content centers largely on Hochstetter's survey of Auckland, beginning with his lecture on the region's geology. Subjects further include its extinct volcanos, Lake Rotomahana and its hot springs [Te Tarata thermal springs], and three inlets on North Island - Whaingaroa [now known as Raglan], Aotea, and Kawhia. Approximately one quarter of the text is devoted to his geological work in the Province of Nelson.

DUGUID, Charles
Macewen of Glasgow. A Recollection of the Chief
Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd 1957. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Edinburgh Oliver and Boyd 1957. Octavo iv 52 pages plus a frontispiece portrait. Cloth slightly flecked; endpapers expertly renewed; an excellent copy. A memoir of Sir William Macewen 1848-1924 former Regius Professor of Surgery at Glasgow University by one of his students the well-known 'Doctor among the Aborigines'. The author has inscribed and signed the title page and amended one of his qualifications from FRFPS to FRCS. A short autograph note on his letterhead dated 12 October 1971 is loosely inserted: 'I hope this my first book will give you some pleasure. It was written from my heart'. A wonderful head-and-shoulders portrait photograph 180 × 125 mm of Dr Charles Duguid 1884-1986 is also loosely inserted. Dr Duguid was 87 when he wrote the short letter so he can be forgiven for not remembering that more than half a century earlier he had pseudonymously published 'The Desert Trail. With the Light Horse through Sinai to Palestine. By Scotty's Brother'. The book was written in honour of 'Scotty' his brother William George Duguid an original member of the 8th Light Horse Regiment at Gallipoli; he had transferred to the 3rd Light Horse when he was killed in action on 19 April 1917 near Aseifiyeh. The author's foreword recounts in pathetic detail the circumstances of his death. This classic war memoir went through four editions in less than six months. 3 items. Oliver and Boyd hardcover
