Adelaide: E.S. Wigg & Son 1878. 2nd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E.S. Wigg & Son 1878 second edition revised. Octavo 225 x 145 mm viii 156 pages plus 6 tinted lithographs new to this edition. Red cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover and spine decorated in blind on the front and rear boards with three gilt rules at the head and foot of the spine; cloth lightly rubbed at the extremities and slightly ink-marked at the front and rear; spine sunned flecked and a little marked with light wear to the head and minor loss to the foot; inner hinges neatly reinforced with cloth tape; a very good copy internally fine. The first edition was published in 1874; it contains only one illustration the frontispiece. This is an original Townsend Duryea albumen paper photograph a composite of five numbered oval portraits; the identification key is printed on the verso of the title page. See Ferguson 16706 not identifying the photographer and not indicating that the five photographic portraits are in fact one composite photograph. This revised second edition Ferguson 16707 contains six tinted lithographs the second one of which is based on the Duryea composite photograph and there is no obvious key to the identities of the subjects. Taplin makes some interesting observations in his preface to this edition: 'The reader will find that some additions have been made to the book. An account has been given of the Aboriginal Council called the Tendi by which the clans of the Narrinyeri are governed. Some friends of the Mission complained that the history of the Mission at Point Macleay was too short and expressed their desire that more incidents had been related. An attempt has been made to supply this deficiency by inserting some extracts from the author's diary'. Ferguson does not make it clear that it is the revised second edition of this work which appears in the 1879 collection of reprints 'The Native Tribes of South Australia' Ferguson 13095. In our experience this stand-alone 1878 edition is rare. E.S. Wigg & Son hardcover

Boston: Dutton and Wentworth Printers 1846. Original printed salmon wrappers stitched 48pp. Occasional light spotting Very Good. "The letters concern Rev. Adams' refusal to grant letters of recommendation from his church to the Payson church of which Rev. Fairchild was pastor because of accusations of immoral conduct against Fairchild" Cohen. The Payson church was thus deprived of "the fellowship of sister churches." Fairchild had allegedly seduced a young woman Rhoda Davidson of Edgecomb Maine while she was a domestic in his family. She had a child and nominated Fairchild as the father. Ecclesiastical trials ensued. Fairchild claimed that rival ministers one of whom was Reverend Adams had defamed him by calling him an habitual libertine and adulterer. Adams as Fairchild puts it "publicly said that there was more guilt resting on my head than on the head of any man who walks the streets of Boston or words to that effect." The Payson Church Committee examines the relevant documents and concludes "We clearly saw that no guilt had been proved against him and therefore felt bound to regard him as innocent wondering how any human creature could have a heart to add another grain to his load of suffering or inflict one fresh wound on his wife and children. We deem him one of the most injured and persecuted clergymen which the history of this country can furnish." Cohen 13687. AI 46-54 5. Dutton and Wentworth, Printers unknown
