‎Voyages et Avantures de Jaques Mass�‎

‎Bordeaux: James l'Aveugle 1710. First edition. An important imaginary voyage to Australia: a 'landmark' in the development of the French voyage novel Atkinson in its original full calf decorated binding. A Robinsonade account which predates Defoe. It is complete with the ship wreck exploration conflict with local inhabitants stand off and final rescue by a passing ship. It is a reasonable representation of the Australian continent and its challenges along with a realistic estimation of the importance of mining and irrigation to Australia that "foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia." Friederich The title page is falsely dated 1710.

‎Ship board music; Australia‎

‎Watercolor illustrated musical program R. M. S. John Elder 1883. For the relief of the "suffering of a destitute and invalided steerage passenger"‎

‎1883. Very good overall. An interesting hand painted and roneoed ship's musical program. Produced for an Australian ship voyage 29th November 1883 with the proceeds of the performance "devoted to the relief of the suffering of a destitute and invalided steerage passenger". The evenings proceedings are roneographed inside the fold. It lists 15 performances including arrangements for violin and piano; a "letter song: Rip Van Winkle"; other songs a recitation; "Italian boat song"; and a vocal duet. The performers include Mr. & Mrs. Rignold and Signor Steffani. Mr. & Mrs. G. Rignold are recorded as having traveled from Adelaide to Sydney on 29th January 1883 on the ship "Birksgate" and in October 1886 they traveled on the ship "Hanroto" from Hobart to Melbourne with Mr. & Mrs. Lohr all of them described as "Theatrical". Signor Steffani is listed in the Sand's Sydney Directory for 1883 at 129 Phillips St. and in 1895 as a "teacher of singing" at 56 Elizabeth St. ancestry dot com. In fact the performances by "professionals" were most likely money making efforts for the performers who traveled repeatedly between various ports in Australia. One wonders if the money collected actually went to relieve the suffering of "a destitute and invalided steerage passenger" unless that is Mr. Rignold or Mr. Steffani. The R. M. S. John Elder made voyages between London and Australia see article in the Sydney Morning Herald referring to arrival from London on 15 July 1885 just 6 months after this voyage. see nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13561966. It seems possible that this voyage was only in Australian waters as the Rignold's were already in Australia in January 1883. The cover of the program is hand painted with a background design of gingko leaves daffodils and a dragon fly with a tropical island view superimposed. On blue coated paper folded with the number 1 penciled at lower left of the front. In some spots the text of the reproduction is faded and it has been re-written by hand in purple ink. Short closed tear bottom edge. Folded folio 8 3/4 x 13 1/2". The paper is speckled with white dots akin to some unusual sort of bleaching perhaps related to the paper making process as it skirts the cover illustration. An unusual survival. <br/><br/> unknown‎

‎Australia; Emigration‎

‎A form letter addressed "To the Overseers of the Parish of Mereworth Kent" advertising cheap passages for "Families Labourers and Poor Persons" emigrating to Australia and the British colonies; "Shovelling out paupers"‎

‎London 1836. Very good condition. In 19th c. England the practice of assisted emigration of the poor was sometimes referred to as "shovelling out paupers". In 1833 the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners CLEC were set up to manage emigration to Britain's colonies. Under the plan some emigrants could qualify for a free passage if they were under forty years of age of good character having been vaccinated against smallpox capable of labor and from occupations such as agricultural laborers shepherds or female domestic and farm servants. Young married couples without children were the most desired candidates. This circular was printed just one year following the enactment of a provision in which the cost of emigration would be borne by the emigrant's home parish Section 62 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. The parish-funded emigration was overseen by the Poor Law Commissioners. The annual report of the Poor Law Commissioners of 1836 shows that 18 parishes in Kent participated sending 320 emigrants at a cost of �1823. Many emigrants went to Canada due to its proximity to Britain but South Australia which was designated a colony in 1836 offered a free passage until 1841. The popularity of Australia surged when the discovery of gold made the news in 1852. The printed circular with manuscript date March 1836 and Parish name advertising passage to North America or Australia at �3 to �4 a head for adults. The form letter begins "Gentlemen I beg to acquaint you that I am ready to Contract for the Conveyance of Families Labourers and Poor Persons to the British Colonies in North America Australia and the United States and likewise to Victual them if required which I can do at a much less expense than having them found by the Vessel." "Our packets are Sailing from here for Quebec New York Philadelphia Boston & c. Twice every Week during the Season." The printed address at the top "2 Upper East Smithfield Near the London Dock Entrance London." The circular is signed "C. Ciriackes" or Christoffer Ciriackes 1755 - 1758 who in 1828 was a clerk for Messrs. Beatson & Co. merchants and was a witness in a case before the Old Bailey; he also appears in the London Planet of September 20 1840 as Christopher Ciriackes provisions merchant at Devonshire Place London Fields. However Ciriackes had his own problems as a debtor as he appears under the heading 'Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors' on November 5 1840: "Christopher Ciriackes late of No. 4 Devonshire-place London-fields near the Cat and Mutton Tavern . out of business . Provision Merchant and General Dealer". London Gazette 13 October 1840 p2270. 8vo printed on cream paper folded into envelope shape and posted with rubber stamp and seal.
