Gilt-lettered black cloth a little rubbed sunned and marked; front cover slightly bowed; extremities a little bumped; edges a little foxed and marked; flyleaves lightly discoloured; a very good copy.

Pages 111-114 and the plate facing page 96 refer to his Boer War Memorial sculpture at the entrance to Government House at the corner of North Terrace and King William Street Adelaide. Jones tells the story from the initial request by 'an influential Committee representing the City of Adelaide' chaired by Sir Kiffin Thomas to the unveiling in 1904 and Sir William Sowden's letter of appreciation some 21 years later. The Memorial 'was designed along the vigorous lines that appeal so strongly to the Australian people. Indeed many Australians told me that they thought it the best statue in the country but this may have been said to please me' page 112. His 'magnum opus however was his "Peace Quadriga" 1912 for Constitution Arch Hyde Park Corner his hopes for a major unveiling ceremony and perhaps even a knighthood dashed by the death of his great advocate King Edward VII in 1910'.

‎[South Australian Portraits]‎

‎'The Eucalypts 1910-1918. "With Gray Green Scimitars Defying The Sun"' cover title of an album of signed portrait photographs of worthy South Australians‎

‎Adelaide 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide circa 1919. A custom-made photograph album 190 × 200 mm containing 6 card leaves with an original gelatin silver photograph mounted on both sides of each leaf with interleaved tissue-guards. Each photograph is approximately 135 × 95 mm. Half leather and cloth lettered in full in gilt on the front cover with 'The Eucalypts' in gilt on the spine; leather discoloured and moderately rubbed with slight wear in a few areas; some tiny paint spots near the head of the front cover; tissue-guards a little foxed and offset; marginal silvering-out to five prints; overall in very good condition. All but the first portrait is signed and only the last one contains an additional inscription the date '10.1.19'. The State Library of South Australia has another example of this album enabling us to confirm the identities where the handwriting was unclear. Ministers of religion lawyers doctors and architects predominate. The subjects are Reverend A.H. Gifford possibly A.E. Gifford; Benjamin Benny 1869-1935 senator and solicitor; George McEwin 1873-1945 lawyer and philanthropist; Edward Erskine Cleland 1869-1943 barrister and judge; Alfred McBain Bonython 1865-1954 architect; Sir James Wallace Sandford 1879-1958 merchant and politician; Reverend Wilfred Harris Unitarian minister returned to England in 1918; Dr Herbert Frank Shorney 1878-1933 opthalmologist; Sir Thomas John Mellis Napier 1882-1976 later a SA Supreme Court judge; Harold Reid; Edward Warner Benham 1872-1948 lawyer and academic; and Francis Hedley Counsell 1864-1933 architect. <p>The subtitle is a misquote from 'Among the Sandhills' by Adela Florence Nicolson née Cory 1865-1904 an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope 'The scented orange bushes check the breeze Granting in tribute many waxen stars And aromatic Eucalyptus trees Defy the sun with grey-green scimitars'. We have saved the best until the end: we purchased this item decades ago and have postponed cataloguing it innumerable times not knowing who 'The Eucalypts' were. We have finally solved the puzzle by the simple expedient of spending untold hours on it. We eventually discovered the lengthy biographical sketch of Alfred Bonython compiled by Giles Walkley for the University of SA's database on architects accessible online. Among many other interesting details he records that 'At the age of 42 Bonython became the father of a fourth daughter . Determinedly reviving his literary activities he joined both at their outset in 1910 Lady Symon's Poetry Society and the "liberal Christian" discussion group The Eucalypts Club .

‎[South Australia]. [DASHWOOD, George Frederick]‎

‎Province of South Australia. Land Grant. Under Sales in England. Country Section. Five original land grants - printed documents with manuscript insertions - relating to country sections purchased in 1840 by the South Australian pioneer George Frederick Dashwood offered as one group‎

‎Very Good. Folio five documents approximately 387 × 240 mm each each being a bifolium centrefold blank last page docketed; the first page in each instance contains a small hand-coloured diagram of the block showing the orientation of the land a paper-over-wax impressed seal and the signature of Governor George Gawler as Resident Commissioner and Alfred Miller Mundy as Private Secretary dated 16 July 1840. Three horizontal creases when the documents are folded thus the docketed portion of the last page becomes visible on one of the exposed panels; a few tiny marginal chips; one document has a short split along one fold and its outer panels when folded are a little tanned; trifling signs of age; overall all five documents are in very good condition. The consecutively numbered land grants 1037 to 1041 are for 'Eighty acres numbered 957 to 961 in the Provincial Survey marked with the Letter C' purchased by 'George Frederick Dashwood Esquire Royal Navy Forest Lodge Bracknell Berks'. The purchase price of £80 per section is not shown; all five documents have the word 'Duplicate' in ink in a contemporary hand at the head of the first page and they have a slightly different title to examples we have seen where purchase prices are recorded 'Land Grant under Preliminary Sales in England and Partial Purchase in the Province'. <p>Lieutenant George Frederick Dashwood RN 1806-1881 . 'was a naval officer public servant and politician in South Australia. He was appointed an acting member of the Legislative Council of South Australia serving from June 1843 to June 1844. He entered the Royal Naval College Dartmouth in 1819 and served 1832-1833 under Captain C. H. Fremantle on HMS "Challenger" noted for earlier 1829 claiming all of New Holland west of New South Wales for the Crown. He was commissioned lieutenant in December 1833 later served on the survey vessel "Sulphur". Dashwood suffered terribly from rheumatism and was retired on half pay. Dashwood married Sarah Rebecca Loine on 27 December 1839 in a Catholic church in London. They arrived in South Australia aboard "Orissa" in November 1841. He purchased an estate 5 miles 8 km west of Meadows named Dashwood's Gully. He and Sarah married again in a civil ceremony for reasons of bureaucratic convenience. In 1844 he applied for partial remission of the purchase price of the land by virtue of his naval service. This was initially refused but granted in 1850 after much argument. In 1842 he was appointed justice of the peace and sworn in as magistrate and on 15 June 1843 he was appointed to the Legislative Council holding this position until July 1844 when he resigned and apart from a public meeting at which he protested against the proposed settlement in the colony of a contingent of Parkhurst boys he took no part in public life until November 1846 when he was reappointed JP and in April 1847 he was made Acting Commissioner of Police and Police Magistrate. Two years later he was appointed Stipendiary Magistrate for Port Adelaide. In October 1850 he was appointed Police Commissioner a position he held until January 1852 when he was appointed Collector of Customs succeeding later Sir R.R. Torrens. In July 1858 he was appointed Emigration Agent in Great Britain and apart from a visit in May 1861 was in England until late 1862 when the office was abolished and served as Stipendiary Magistrate in various places including Mount Barker and Strathalbyn. In 1875 he was appointed Stipendiary Magistrate for Port Adelaide and Edithburgh. He held this post until around 1880' Wikipedia. <p>'From Almanda to United States: Lost Localities in the City of Onkaparinga' consulted online records more specifically that Dashwood 'had purchased sections 955 956 957 958 959 960 and 961 in the Hundred of Kuitpo in 1840 while still living in Berkshire' that Dashwood Gully had a post office and a school which operated from 1863 to 1869 and that the area continued to be known as Dashwood Gully until at least the 1950s. George Gawler 1795-1869 was South Australia's second governor. 'Disputes between the first governor Captain Sir John Hindmarsh and the resident commissioner Sir James Fisher over their respective jurisdictions had retarded the colony's development so the two offices were combined in Gawler. Thus as governor he became representative of the Colonial Office in the province and as resident commissioner representative of the non-governmental Colonization Commission which was responsible for the control of land sales for applying the proceeds to the emigration of labourers and for raising loans until such time as the colony had sufficient revenue to support itself. On 12 October 1838 Gawler with his wife and five children arrived in Adelaide in the "Pestonjee Bomanjee" and found conditions far worse than he had been led to expect. The most urgent necessity he believed was to promote rural settlement. He persuaded Charles Sturt to accept the post of surveyor-general and until he could assume office Gawler himself took charge of the Survey Department reorganizing it and conducting preliminary explorations. He also hired every available surveyor including some of Light's former officers. In October 1839 to his dismay he was ordered to dismiss them. The commissioners had appointed Lieutenant Edward Frome as surveyor-general and sent him out with a party of sappers. Gawler solved the problem by amalgamating the two forces feeling justified by the increasing volume of land sales. In 1839 over 170000 acres 68797 ha were sold'. Gawler produced results: within twelve months 200000 acres had been surveyed and by May 1841 mapping of 7000 square miles had been completed and over 500000 acres divided into sections. These rare land grants are evidence of Gawler's energy and zeal. Unhappily for him history was about to repeat itself: his 'major weakness was his complete failure to understand political realities. His recall and his successor Captain Sir George Grey arrived together on 10 May 1841' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>Alfred Miller Mundy 1809-1877 has his own claims to fame as well. He 'enlisted in the army and was stationed in Sydney in November 1827 when he was promoted . to lieutenant. He was appointed a Magistrate in Tasmania in March 1835 and as Justice of the Peace in 1837. He resigned his commission in 1839 but was later commonly referred to as "Lieutenant Mundy". On 11 July 1839 Mundy John Bourke and Joseph Hawdon set out from Melbourne for Adelaide Mundy and Bourke on a light tandem and Hawdon on horseback following the route taken by Charles Bonney via Portland Bay and the Glenelg River. They arrived in Adelaide exactly a month later and estimated it could easily be done in half that time. He joined with Edward Bate Scott and Edward John Eyre who had a scheme to purchase and transport livestock from Adelaide to the Swan River Colony now Perth aboard chartered ships as far as King George's Sound then the only deepwater harbor in Western Australia and then drive them overland to Perth. On 30 January 1840 they loaded some stock onto the schooner "Minerva" and a few days later the remainder onto the barque "Cleveland". Eyre sailed aboard "Minerva" while Mundy was aboard the "Cleveland". The stock consisted of 1700 sheep which included over 1000 ewes and 450 lambs 6 horses and 100 cattle. They achieved good prices in Perth and would have made a tidy profit except many sheep and cattle died on the track in Western Australia ascribed to their eating poisonous plants. On 3 April 1840 Eyre and Mundy were elected honorary members of the WA Agricultural Society. They arrived back in Adelaide aboard "Minerva" in May 1840. Mundy was appointed acting Clerk of the Legislative Council in June 1840 and Private Secretary to the newly appointed Governor Grey in May 1841. He was appointed by the Governor to the Legislative Council on 15 June 1843 originally as a non-official appointee then as Colonial Secretary from 15 June 1848 to 14 June 1849 when he returned to England on leave of absence. His brother Edward Miller Mundy who was MP for the constituency of South Derbyshire had died childless on 29 January 1849 and Alfred resigned on succeeding to the family estate which included lucrative coal mines. He was Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1855 and a JP and DL for that county and a JP for Nottinghamshire. He died on 30 March 1877 while on holiday in Nice' Wikipedia. <p>These documents indicate Mundy was also private secretary to Governor Gawler by mid-July 1840 little more than two months after he arrived in Adelaide. He was successful in securing another important government contract too: less than a year later on 5 June 1841 he married Jane Hindmarsh 1814-1874 the eldest daughter of the colony's first governor John Hindmarsh. He had been recalled by the Colonial Office and he sailed for England on 14 July 1838. The 'recall was not considered a disgrace either in Adelaide or at the Colonial Office' and he 'had high hopes of reinstatement and left his wife in Adelaide. she married off her daughters with enviable success: in July 1840 Mary to G.M. Stephen a cousin of James Stephen at the Colonial Office and in July sic 1841 Jane to Alfred Miller Mundy a cousin of the earl of Lincoln. Mrs Hindmarsh also managed the sale of her husband's land to such effect that her account of £12000 was by far the largest in the Adelaide branch of the Bank of Australasia when she left to rejoin her husband in 1841' after he was appointed governor of Heligoland in 1840 ADB. 5 items. unknown‎

Octavo 30 9 pages plus a folding map 'Plan of part of South Australia 1843' 216 × 171 mm and 2 folding survey plans 'Plan of the Two Special Surveys on the River Light 1843' 341 × 185 mm and 'Plan of the Special Survey on the River Murray 1843' 245 × 193 mm. Original blind-stamped cloth lettered in gilt on the front panel with the title later added in white ink along the spine; cloth a little sunned on the spine with light wear to the extremities; endpaper hinges cracked; residual paste along a strip at the top of the front free endpaper; occasional trifling spots of foxing; maps a little offset; nevertheless an excellent copy of an extremely rare publication relating to the early land surveys in South Australia. The first section comprises a 'Statement of the Proceedings of the Directors for the Information of the Proprietors' with the final unpaginated section consisting of a statement of accounts for the surveys of the River Light and the River Murray. This copy has the ownership signature dated 1855 of London corn factor John Burrows and contains noteworthy annotations and additional manuscript material relating to his family's land speculations in South Australia and New Zealand. John has neatly annotated both of the survey plans with details of the selections on the River Light and the River Murray owned by him and his mother Jane. These appear to have been inherited from his father Thomas and subsequently expanded in the 1860s. The rear endpapers contain detailed notes in another hand summarising the family's colonial landholdings and giving details of their agents in Adelaide and Wellington we suggest in the 1870s. A clipping from another document mounted on the rear pastedown gives similar information. Additional material comprises: <p>1. An autograph letter addressed to John Burrows from his Adelaide agent James Walsh dated 1872 regarding the lease of two blocks in the abortive township of Victoria 85 km north of Adelaide octavo; 2 pages of a bifolium affixed with sealing wax to the verso of the final page. The meagre rents received are demonstrative of Victoria's failure it is located approximately 12 km north of Kapunda and was soon eclipsed by that town after the discovery there of copper ore in 1842. A leaf from a later letter is similarly mounted inside the bifolium. <p>2. A loosely-inserted autograph letter addressed to Thomas Burrows from his agent Daniel Riddiford in Wellington dated 24 January 1841 regarding his selections in New Zealand quarto 1 page of a bifolium folded to form the cover stamped 'Ship Letter"; complete with the address panel postmark and wax seal. Riddiford was himself a pioneering runholder in Wairarapa and Hutt River. <p>3. A manuscript document outlining lands on the River Light and River Murray owned by C.J. Heath another absentee landowner and corn factor. We are unsure of the nature of his connection to John Burrows but they shared an Adelaide agent Joel Roberts see 'The South Australian Advertiser' for 27 May 1873. <p>4. A newspaper clipping with content relevant to the subject of the book with its source the South Australian 'Advertiser' 13 June 1878 written in ink in the margin by James Walsh. <p>Provenance: John Burrows as above; possibly James Walsh see above; later Charles R.J. Glover with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown. Charles Richmond John Glover 1870-1936 the first lord mayor of Adelaide public benefactor businessman and book collector; some 2787 lots of his books were sold by auction over five days in late 1970 and we know from long and unhappy experience that he is responsible for the lettering in white ink on the spine. His bookplate is mounted in the bottom left-hand corner of the front pastedown and the top right-hand corner of the plate was not glued down as it partially covers an earlier coat of arms possibly hand-drawn in black ink. It features Britannia extending a hand in greeting to an Indigenous man holding a spear with a rocky cliff and a kangaroo in the background.
