Octavo vi 99 pages plus a large folding map 740 � 635 mm supplied from the London edition see our footnote. Modern half synthetic cloth and cloth in fact it is the same binding used by Austaprint for its 1970s facsimile edition; a few short tears to edges and intersecting folds of the map; minimal light foxing; an excellent copy. Ferguson 15734 the original Adelaide printing issued without the map. This edition is far less common than the London one issued later the same year with the large map and a four-page catalogue of exhibited products see Ferguson 15735. We have previously referred to an article in the Adelaide 'Observer' 18 January 1862 which states in part: 'it is intended that the fifty or sixty thousand copies which will be required shall be printed in England after a proof has been struck off at the Government Printing Office in the colony. This plan has been adopted for economy as the expense of issuing such a work will be much less in England than it would be to do it here and afterwards send the whole of the issue home'. W.C.

‎Adelaide: W.C. Cox Government Printer 1862. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Government Printer 1862. Octavo vi 99 pages plus a large folding map 740 x 635 mm. Original papered boards slightly rubbed and very slightly worn at the extremities and bumped at the front bottom corner; spine slightly sunned with minimal loss to silverfish in one spot and trifling chipping and wear to both ends; front endpaper creased where it is in contact with the folds of the frontispiece map; expert repair to a long tear to the stub panel of the map with tiny splits to some creases also closed; an excellent copy of a book so often found lacking the map - and rarely encountered in the fragile original binding. This copy is more desirable still by virtue of its provenance - it has the armorial bookplates of the notable South Australians Sir Henry Ayers on the pastedown and Edward Angas Johnson on the flyleaf - and we purchased it from the estate of Dr Hedley Marston FRS.
