MITFORD Eustace Reveley editor
Pasquin. Pastoral Mineral and Agricultural Advocate. A substantial run of the original edition of this early Adelaide satirical journal comprising all issues from Volume 1 Number 41 2 November 1867 to Volume 4 Number 53 31 December 1870 the last number
Adelaide: Eustace Reveley Mitford to Volume 3 Number 43 23 October 1869 then Samuel Edward Roberts 1867. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Eustace Reveley Mitford to Volume 3 Number 43 23 October 1869 then Samuel Edward Roberts 1867 to 1870. Quarto 166 numbers bound in one volume with each drop-title issue comprising 8 pages the pagination is continuous in each volume. The last issue in each volume is respectively Number 49 Number 52 Number 52 and Number 53; this run lacks only the first 40 numbers of the first volume from Number 1 26 January 1867. Contemporary half leather and cloth lettered in gilt on the spine with the binder's ticket of W.K. Thomas & Co. Adelaide; binding a little rubbed at the extremities with minor wear to the corners; minor signs of use and age to the contents but overall in very good condition. Mounted on the front pastedown is an original albumen paper portrait of Mitford 90 � 58 mm. This collection is not to be confused with the abridged reprint edition published in London in 1882 with a Woodburytype portrait of Mitford an enlarged detail from an example of our portrait. That volume was essentially a memorial to the Mitford years January 1867 to November 1869 'freed from advertisements and unimportant matter' which nowadays means 'lacking all character and a lot of appeal to boot'. Pat Stretton contributed to the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' the entry for Eustace Reveley Mitford 1811-1869 'satirist'. It is almost short enough to quote in full - it is certainly worthy of being widely circulated! However after sampling a few of her introductory remarks we'll follow her estimable lead and quote Stretton quoting Mitford. He 'found his true vocation in 1867' with 'Pasquin': 'It reviewed plays and books and campaigned on behalf of the oppressed such as prisoners and destitute children but its chief aim was to "aggravate our subscribers in every possible way" and Mitford had a sure eye for what would annoy South Australians most. Introducing the grape was "a great mistake". Democracy was another: "democracy and dishonesty universal suffrage and universal pillage . are synonymous terms and inseparable results". Adelaide's architecture was "mediaeval Clapham Common Gothic with a tendency to the Old Bailey Tuscan". Satire resists description. Here is Mitford at his lethal best: "People in England are profoundly astonished to hear that the land has not cost the Government or the country a single farthing - that in fact well to put it as mildly as possible - that we stole it! - took possession you understand in the Queen's name - just as they used aforetime to burn alive respectable ladies and gentlemen in the name of the Deity - and that when the native rangers attempted to remove the sheep found trespassing on their lands we shot them like dogs also in the name of the Queen - and then sent missionaries - very nice men in white chokers - to inform them of a beautiful new kind of religion which strictly prohibited theft and murder or to covet a blackfellow's land or his lubra or his waddy his boomerang or his beer or anything that is his or any other man's. Of course the blacks were deeply impressed with the sanctity and consistent justice of a religion which was to save their souls but played the very devil with their bodies their lands and their kangaroos. We make as much fuss about permitting settlers to occupy this land as if we had a right to it"'. Mitford died suddenly from a chest infection on Sunday 24 October 1869 as the issue of the following Saturday unhappily informed its readers. Eustace Reveley Mitford (to Volume 3, Number 43, 23 October 1869), then Samuel Edward Roberts hardcover

HOOKER Richard
The Works of that Learned and Judicious Divine Mr Richard Hooker with an Account of his Life and Death by Isaac Walton. Arranged by the Rev. John Keble
Oxford: Oxford University Press 1845. 3rd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Oxford Oxford University Press 1845 third edition/ 1836 first thus. Octavo three volumes iv cxiv last blank 488; ii 610; and ii 755 pages plus a folding family tree and a folding sheet of facsimiles of Hooker's handwriting. Contemporary full calf the spines gilt in compartments with contrasting leather title-labels; calf moderately scuffed with a few scrapes and scratches and a few small light stains to the rear cover of the second volume; endpapers a little foxed and offset; a few trifling marks and two marginal annotations to the second volume; a very good set internally fine. Mounted on the front pastedown of each volume is a bookplate stating that 'This book was given by the Associates of the late Rev. Dr. Bray to the Clerical Lending Library of Adelaide . Australia . 1846' the last three words written in ink. Each rear pastedown has a large plate outlining the 'Rules for the Preservation of Dr. Bray's Lending Libraries'. The foot of each spine has a gilt oval stamp 'Library of Dr Bray's Associates' numbered within the oval 67 68 and 69 respectively. There are call numbers in white ink on each spine and an ink stamp and acquisition number on each title page. Once this accessioning work was finished it looks like the books were then put on the shelves and never opened again. Dr Thomas Bray 1656-1730 was an English clergyman and abolitionist who created a system of parochial libraries in England and the American colonies during his lifetime. One of the aims was to assist the spread of the Anglican Church in the British colonies. The work continued well into the nineteenth century attested to by these volumes given to the fledgling settlement of Adelaide less than a decade after the colony of South Australia was establishment. Loosely inserted in the first volume is a contemporaneous autograph letter duodecimo one page 15 September signed by Villus Butler. It is addressed to 'My dear Lord Bishop' asking him for 'a few lines to the Bishop of Melbourne . to take with me' presumably as a letter of introduction. Augustus Short 1802-1883 was consecrated the first Bishop of Adelaide in June 1847; he arrived in the colony on 28 December that year. In November 1881 failing health compelled him to resign his see 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Oxford University Press hardcover

Australian Daguerreotypes
A pair of quarter-plate daguerreotype portraits each approximately 100 � 80 mm of Thomas Radford 1795-1867 and his wife Martha 1796-1867
The Radfords were born in Devon emigrated to South Australia in October 1838 and lived in the Barossa Valley from the mid-1840s until their death. From the perceived ages of the subjects these images would appear to date from the 1850s. Other later images of the Radfords are held in the State Library of South Australia. They substantiate the identification and confirm that these daguerreotypes by an anonymous photographer are of rural South Australian origin as the Radfords did not leave the colony after they arrived here in 1838. Both images are in excellent condition with the original brass matts one a little tarnished preservers and glass but uncased as found. Daguerreotypes of Australian origin are rare. unknown

BROOKMAN Sir George
'Suffolk Punch Mares Imported by Hon. George Brookman MLC'. A triptych of three original sepia-toned gelatin silver photographs in the original mount with calligraphic captions in white ink and frame external dimensions 345 � 875 mm. Each image visible size approximately 145 � 200 mm shows Sir George Brookman 1850-1927 mining speculator politician and philanthropist holding the lead rope of one of the three Suffolk Punch mares he imported for his stud farm at O'Halloran Hill around the middle of 1905. The horses are identified as Beauty Snowdrop and Molly
The photographs are a little uniformly faded with some unobtrusive tiny dark spots and minimal silvering-out; they are attractively presented in the original wooden frame with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The frame is lightly scuffed in places; it has a new hanging wire and backing tape but retains the original framer's label on the verso 'From K. Cameron Picture Framer and Mount Cutter Leigh St. Adelaide'. Two of these images heavily cropped to show only the horse were reproduced in 'The Observer' Adelaide 24 June 1905. The photographer is not identified. The Suffolk is a breed of draught horse nicknamed Punch because of its stocky appearance and power Hendricks: 'International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds' 2007. unknown

Cricket
A vintage group photograph captioned 'Cricket Match Feb 02 Furreedpore' '1902 Faridpur' in another hand on the verso
Image size 229 � 286 mm on the original mount 252 � 304 mm with the caption in ink below the image behind a mat with interior quarter-round corners maximum visible image size 223 � 282 mm framed and glazed with a gilt fillet behind the glass. The caption is not visible when the mat is in position; the bottom left-hand corner of the mount and photograph has been broken away and repaired with a 75 mm diagonal crack across that corner visible but unobtrusive; there is a tiny amount of surface loss to the shirt of the player in the centre of the front row; overall a very appealing period piece in an early but not contemporary mat and frame. Furreedpore Faridpur formerly in East Bengal India now Bangladesh has important Australian connections exemplified by this photograph. Silas Mead 1834-1909 a Baptist minister emigrated to South Australia in July 1861; 'he preached at chapels in Adelaide and North Adelaide. Regular services began at White's Rooms and within a month a Baptist Church was constituted with twenty-six members. Inspired by Mead's enthusiastic leadership the congregation decided to build a large church in Flinders Street; it was opened on 19 May 1863. When its cost of �7000 was cleared by 1864 he established at Furreedpore India the first constituted Australian Baptist Foreign Mission and later helped to found similar societies in other Australian colonies'. His son Dr Cecil Silas Mead 1866-1940 followed closely in his footsteps; after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1891 'he served as a medical missionary in eastern Bengal for twenty-nine years returned to Adelaide to teach anatomy in 1923-39 and died in June 1940' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dr Mead is second from the right in the top seated row; we have no reason to doubt that this photograph was once in his possession and for all intents and purposes it is unique. A copy of 'Doctor Sahib: The Story of Dr Cecil Silas Mead' by Elva Schroeder 2013 is offered together with the photograph. unknown

Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher at the time Director for Technical Art. 'In 1892 he was appointed honorary curator of the art gallery and following the resignation in December of Louis Tannert as master of the school of painting Gill assumed control of all the board's art teaching activities. His growing authority in art matters his self-confidence and abrasive manner and his attitude toward other art schools led to criticism. Critics found Gill a vain man who controlled lucrative and influential art offices and who disdained the democratic brotherhood of art. His supporters admitted that he could be uncompliant and disagreeable but said that he had worked hard was a good judge of the monetary value of pictures saved the board expense and was a courageous and incorruptible curator. He supported and reorganized the South Australian Society of Arts and was its first president elected from the fellows 1909-11' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'; this entry contains one of the few errors we have noted in the ADB - the title of this book is given as 'The Straight and Crooked Paths of Studentship'.

MURCH Arthur James Australia 1902 1989
A cast plaster bust of Dr Hedley Marston
Approximately 280 � 230 � 230 mm in two sections; unsigned and undated but see our note below; in excellent condition. Hedley Ralph Marston 1900-1965 a biochemist was head of CSIRO's Division of Animal Nutrition when it solved the problems caused by deficiencies of trace elements in the soils of South Australia. He was also the only senior Australian scientist who adopted a hostile attitude towards the British atomic bomb tests when they occurred locally. He 'formed a wide and eclectic circle of friends. In the arts they included Elioth Gruner Arthur Murch Clive Turnbull and Sir William Dobell whose portrait of Marston is held by the Queensland Art Gallery' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The website devoted to the life and works of Arthur Murch contains an illustration of a plaster bust of Marston circa 1963 in the artist's estate; the present example would appear to be a preliminary version. The National Portrait Gallery has several Murch sculptures in its collection. Provenance: Dr Hedley Marston purchased from the auction of his estate. unknown

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.

Later red rexine lettered in gilt on the spine; boards a little bowed; endpapers slightly bubbled and offset; essentially a fine copy.

Tilbrook our valued friend and fellow townsman and the present-day proprietor and editor of the "Kapunda Herald". To him we owe our grateful thanks for his risk in printing and publishing. Also to those who readily contributed their store of "memories" we offer our sincere thanks our only regret being that more did not join in the work and thus enable a fuller and more complete volume to be issued' preface. The primary binding is blue cloth; these red rexine covers were produced by the bindery of the State Library of South Australia either in the late 1960s or early 1970s. This secondary issue was prepared using the original sheets which the Library had acquired possibly from the Tilbrook family. The original issue is rare and we have not seen a copy of this later issue for a dozen years now. 'Kapunda Herald' Print hardcover
