Adelaide: G.H. Baring Publisher and Printer 1936. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide G.H. Baring Publisher and Printer 1936. Large oblong folio 286 � 453 mm 372 of 378 pages with many hundreds of illustrations mainly from photographs and pictorial advertisements with one map and one advertisement printed in colour. Bound without the original covers flush-cut gilt-pictorial card front cover and spine and a plain papered rear board with advertising on the inside front cover in unlettered green binder's cloth flecked and scuffed with minor wear mainly to the corners and front joint; first leaf the foreword and the last two leaves advertisements missing; the first three leaves and the last one are moderately creased with some expert conservation to a few marginal tears and chips; a few other trifling signs of use and age; overall a very presentable copy of an impressive and important work rarely seen in any condition the original binding was always inadequate to the task of protecting the contents printed on clay-sized art paper. The book's lasting value is the very large number of panoramic images of commercial streetscapes across the state. In 2012 a companion volume 'City Streets. Progressive Adelaide 75 Years On' was published. 'Inspired by "Progressive Adelaide" photographer Mick Bradley and writer Lance Campbell set out in Baring's footsteps. In images and words "City Streets" is progressive Adelaide today' publisher's blurb. The equally large-format book juxtaposes photographs of Adelaide's CBD streetscapes by Bradley in 2011 with the same scenes taken by Baring in 1936. A fine copy of the 2012 first edition is available for $150; mint copies of the latest impression are available for $80 each. G.H. Baring, Publisher and Printer hardcover

CURNOW Reverend Edwin A.
Bible Christian Methodists in South Australia 1850-1900. A Biography of Chapels and their People
Black Forest: Uniting Church SA Historical Society 2015. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Black Forest Uniting Church SA Historical Society 2015. Thick quarto vi xi 641 pages with numerous illustrations several in colour. Laminated colour pictorial card covers; a fine copy. Inscribed 'What God hath Wrought! p. 602' dated 11 October 2015 and signed by the author. This remarkable story documented for the first time in detail from first-hand colonial reports captures the passion of ministers and lay people alike to build chapels and to establish a new world on Christian values. They left their homeland family and friends to venture into an arid frontier on the other side of the world. The Movement was born in controversy and its story still reaches out to challenge the status quo and mediocrity of our times. The book describes an impossible mission built on the pennies and prayers of the poor amid isolation sickness sacrifice exciting revivals and growth. It details the history and describes many small country chapels with numerous names of early settlers. Approximately 650 pages in length and generously illustrated it is a valuable reference for libraries and those interested in the story and drama of our non-conformist Christian heritage.

South Australia
Province of South Australia. Land Grant. Country Section. Under Treasurer's Receipt in England. A printed document with manuscript insertions
Very Good. Folio 378 � 237 mm a bifolium centrefold blank last page docketed; the first page with a small hand-coloured diagram of the block showing the orientation of the land and a paper-over-wax impressed seal is signed by George Gawler as Resident Commissioner 27 August 1839. Three horizontal creases when the document is folded thus the docketed portion of the last page becomes visible on one of the exposed panels; short splits to the open ends of two creases expertly sealed; trifling signs of wear; the exposed panels of the folded document are a little marked and discoloured; overall the document is in very good condition. The grant is for 'Eighty acres numbered 161 in the Provincial Survey' purchased by 'Henry Giles of Adelaide Merchant' for the sum of �80. Henry Giles 1812-1892 was born at 'Farrington-Gurney Somerset England and came to South Australia on the ship 'Buffalo' in 1836 listed as a Labourer. He had been recommended for government service particularly in agriculture. He firstly settled at the Tiers near present-day Crafers and then moved to the Mount Pleasant district where he first bought land in 1842' online history of Mt Pleasant. 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. This rare land grant is 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'. unknown

South Australia
South Australia. Peculiar Land Order. Part 1. No. 84 a printed document with manuscript insertions issued to Captain Daniel Pring who 'played an indispensable part in protecting the Montreal frontier during the War of 1812'
Very Good. Folio 324 � 198 mm one leaf printed recto and verso the latter gives information on transferring the order: 'As the Land Order is issued in Duplicate both Copies marked Part 1 and Part 2 must be transferred'; blind-stamped seal at the foot of the document signed see below and dated 3 May 1838. Creased where folded with minimal wear in a few tiny spots; three short marginal splits neatly sealed; left-hand edge slightly chipped and a little unevenly trimmed; in very good condition. The land order issued in London states that 'Captain Daniel Pring of Guildford Street hath paid for One Section of Rural Land consisting of Eighty Acres and also for Ten other Acres of Town Land forming a portion of the 9000 Acres purchased by certain Directors of an Association for the purchase of one or more special survey or surveys of Land in South Australia'. The document is signed by two Colonization Commissioners for South Australia Josiah Roberts and Jacob Montefiore and the Secretary Rowland Hill. Sir Rowland Hill 1795-1879 British administrator educator and social reformer is perhaps best remembered for 'originating the basic concepts of the modern postal service including the invention of the postage stamp . but he also served from 1833 until 1839 as secretary of the South Australian Colonization Commission which worked successfully to establish a settlement without convicts at what is today Adelaide' Wikipedia. Daniel Pring 1788-1846 a British naval officer did not settle on the land in question nor did he emigrate. However his lengthy entry in the 'Canadian Dictionary of National Biography' indicates he played a significant role in Canada's history: 'Neither Pring nor his contemporaries were forthcoming about his private affairs. He spent his first years and his years on half pay at his home in Devon Ivedon Penn. When he died he left a considerable amount of land to his widow and other property to a close friend in Tavistock. There is no known portrait of Pring and no memorial. The fact remains that he played an indispensable part in protecting the Montreal frontier during the War of 1812'. unknown

FLINDERS Matthew
A Voyage to Terra Australis undertaken for the purpose of completing the discovery of that vast country . in the years 1801 1802 and 1803
Adelaide: Government Printer 1989. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide Government Printer 1989 facsimile edition/ 1814. Large quarto two volumes of text plus the elephant folio atlas containing 18 charts and 10 plates. Half leather and cloth; a fine set in the dark red felt-covered wooden box still in the original printed carton which is marked and a little damaged. A superb production limited to only 500 numbered sets this is number 66; not all of them were issued in these boxes as advertised. Apparently the successful tender was paid in full soon after the job began and the box-maker was last seen heading for the hills overseas with the money and a big smile! Many sets were issued with perspex lids which fitted snugly over the custom-made bases but they often proved to be a poor substitute. 3 items. Government Printer hardcover

BLACKMORE Edwin Gordon
The Law of the Constitution of South Australia. A Collection of Imperial Statutes Local Acts and Instruments relating to the Constitution and Government of the Province with Notes Historical and Constitutional
Adelaide: C.E. Bristow Government Printer 1894. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide C.E. Bristow Government Printer 1894. Quarto xii 164 pages. Quarter cloth and printed papered boards lightly worn at the extremities and a little marked and sunned; manuscript title-labels mounted on the spine and the head of the front cover; minimal signs of age; overall a very good copy. Mounted on the front pastedown is an autograph letter signed by the Clerk of the Assembly J.C. Morphett one page octavo 25 April 1911 on South Australian Parliament letterhead. 'Dear Sir I have just heard that His Excellency is desirous of obtaining a copy of "The Law of the Constitution of South Australia". I therefore forward herewith a copy to be placed in the official library at Government House'. Previous ownership details 'The Clerk House of Assembly Oct. 1894' at the head of the title page has been neatly crossed out. John Cummins Morphett 1844-1936 Clerk of the House of Assembly from 1900 to 1918 was a son of Sir John Morphett who arrived in South Australia in the 'Cygnet' in 1836. 'From the early days of the State the late Mr Morphett's family have held responsible positions in the Legislature. Sir James Hurtle Fisher the first Resident Commissioner of the Province and later first Mayor of Adelaide was Mr Morphett's maternal grandfather. Sir James Hurtle Fisher was Speaker of the Legislative Council which passed the Constitution Act in 1856 and President of the first Legislative Council under responsible government. Mr Morphett's father who assisted Colonel light in laying out the City of Adelaide and was present at the leading of the Proclamation was appointed a non-official member of the Legislative Council in 1843 and was Speaker of the first partly elective and partly nominated Chamber. He succeeded Sir James Hurtle Fisher as President of the Legislative Council in 1865' 'People Australia' online. It would appear from the absence of signs of use internally that subsequent Governors were not as desirous of retaining this artefact as the incumbent in 1911 Admiral Sir Day Bosanquet GCVO KCB. C.E.
