TAPLIN Reverend George
The Narrinyeri. An Account of the Tribes of South Australian Aborigines inhabiting the Country around the Lakes Alexandrina Albert and Coorong and the Lower Part of the River Murray: their Manners and Customs also an Account of the Mission at Port Macleay
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

ANGAS George Fife
South Australia. drop-title . Statements prepared and published under the Sanction of the Committee appointed for the Diffusion of Information on the State and Prospects of South Australia
London: Alfred Boot Printer 3 Dockhead Bermondsey for George Fife Angas 1848. Very Good. London Alfred Boot Printer 3 Dockhead Bermondsey for George Fife Angas 1848. Duodecimo approximately 186 x 116 mm 16 pages last blank. A saddle-stitched drop-title pamphlet; small portions of the blank leading margin slightly stained; small dob of wax to the top right-hand corner of the last page presumably the item had been mounted in an album or scrapbook at some stage; a very good copy. This copy is inscribed and signed at the head of the first page 'London 1 Jany 1848. G.F. Angas London'. At the foot of the page Angas has written 'G.F. Angas prepared this tract & printed & circulated many thousands of them in England at his own cost. - before he went to So. Aust'a himself'. We can find no record of this item - and even if another copy has survived and eventually surfaces it cannot begin to compare with this exquisitely-annotated example. It is surely the type specimen . The role of George Fife Angas 1789-1879 in the foundation and settlement of South Australia is too well-known to require elaboration here. The South Australian Company which he formed in October 1835 with other wealthy British businessmen 'was not the only part of Angas's work for the foundation of South Australia. He lobbied the Colonial Office subsidized authors and published magazines and pamphlets. He gave evidence to the select committee on South Australian affairs in 1841. Despite his passionate faith in self help he became convinced that the colony would founder unless aided by the British government. His interviews with the Colonial Office his lecture tours and his wide distribution of literature on South Australia helped to ensure a majority for the parliamentary grant that saved the colony's credit. In 1848 Angas decided to go to South Australia where his German tenants were at last paying their rents and the South Australian Co. was again paying a dividend. He resigned as its chairman and director and with renewed vigour planned a score of colonial ventures ranging from the export of tallow to drain pipes made by machine. Again he lectured and wrote and lobbied this time for the Australian colonies' government bill. When it was passed in August 1850 . and all his English property was sold he sailed with his wife and youngest son in the "Ascendant" and arrived in Adelaide in January 1851' Australian Dictionary of Biography. From internal evidence this rare pamphlet would appear to have been produced early in the second half of 1848. Reference is made to the 3rd Annual Report of the South Australian Mining Company dated 14 April 1848; obviously sufficient time had elapsed for this to have reached England by ship. At the Annual General Meeting of the South Australian Company on 28 June 1848 Angas tendered 'his resignation of the office of Chairman and also his seat at the Board of Directors' Hodder page 299. As there is only passing reference to the South Australian Company in the pamphlet merely as the contact address for the secretary of the committee David McLaren and Angas heads the alphabetical list of six committee-men his resignation from the SAC would appear to have taken place. This 'Committee appointed for the Diffusion of Information on the State and Prospects of South Australia' about which we can found no other trace may be yet another example of Angas indulging his 'lifelong passion for forming societies and joining charitable committees' ADB. As far as the text of the pamphlet goes 'The Committee are aware of the anxious desire for information relative to South Australia. and shall studiously avoid giving currency to any statements of questionable authority'. These noble sentiments are prefaced by suitable quotes from Dr Thomas Arnold of Rugby and Dr Robert Vaughan. The closely-printed text goes into great detail about land regulations for its sale land sold land under cultivation; flocks and herds; population; wages and prices of provisions; free passages; imports and exports; soil and climate; and mineral discoveries. One full page is given over to the Reverends Thomas Quinton Stow and August Kavel extolling the virtues of the climate on the flocks under their pastoral care. The final section almost a page long is headed 'The Self-Supporting Colony' and if George Fife Angas had not identified himself as the author of this tract these five paragraphs would have done so with as much certainty. He goes out with a flourish: 'Thus notwithstanding the ridicule in which many indulged and the misgivings which others experienced the noble conception of the founders of the colony has been realised and SOUTH AUSTRALIA STANDS ALONE IN HER PROUD PRE-EMINENCE A SELF-SUPPORTING COLONY'. Thanks to the marvel that is Trove we have discovered in the 'Sydney Morning Herald' Monday 28 April 1845 page 5 in a section headed 'English Extracts' a lengthy article on 'Australian Colonies' taken from the 'Colonial Gazette' December 14 1844. It quotes the same two 'very eminent writers' Dr Arnold and Dr Vaughan as it zooms in from 'the growing importance of our Australian colonies' to an enthusiastic promotion of South Australia. 'The revival of the sales of land in the colony and the consequent renewal of free emigration are very encouraging features in this case. This is a beginning. May it go on!' - surely more pure Angas. Alfred Boot, Printer, 3, Dockhead, Bermondsey [for George Fife Angas] unknown

Photographic Illuminated Address
A very large albumen paper photograph reproducing an illuminated address presented to John Dunn Esq. J.P. of Mount Barker 1802-1904 member of Parliament and prominent wheat merchant and miller in early colonial South Australia by the workers of J. Dunn & Co. on the occasion of his retirement in May 1889. The address the original of which was illustrated and illuminated by W.G.P. Joyner gives an indication of the scale and importance of Dunn's enterprises: '. by your perseverance energy and strict integrity you have overcome all obstacles and today you have the satisfaction of leaving to your successors the largest milling and wheat business in the Southern Hemisphere'
Image size approximately 325 x 263 mm on the original ruled mount visible surface 430 x 365 mm framed and glazed. The photograph is beginning to lift slightly at two corners; mount slightly soiled at one corner; frame a little scuffed and marked; overall in excellent condition. On the reverse is the paper label of 'S. Solomon Photographer 51 Rundle Street Adelaide'. An article in the 'South Australian Chronicle' for 8 June 1889 describes the circumstances of the presentation of the address and describe the original in detail. 'The address is the work of Mr. Joyner and is one of his most artistic productions . The words and the signatures which number 105 being those of most of the leading employ�s are situated in the centre while all around are well executed paintings of a number of the mills belonging to the firm taken from photographs. In the left-hand corner there is a painting of the site of the original mill at Hay Valley . On the top are Mr. Dunn's residence at Mount Barker 'The Laurels' and the Dunn Memorial Church which that gentleman presented to the residents of Mount Barker while the right hand corner is occupied by a view of the firm's stores and offices in Freeman-street Adelaide now Gawler Place. On the left side of the address there are views of the mills at Wilmington the old mill at Port Adelaide and at Mount Barker and two representations of the new Roller Eclipse mill at Port Adelaide. On the other side the Nairne mill takes precedence while underneath it is the gem of the collection the works at Port Pirie including some of the shipping of the port with the railway in front. The Port Augusta and Bridgewater mills are represented and an excellent portrait of Mr. Dunn is also included in the set.' A number of the source photographs are to be found in a Dunn family photograph album now held by the State Library of South Australia PRG 1485/3. Dunn's entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' records that 'he retired in 1889 and died at Mount Barker on 13 October 1894. The firm's eleven mills five with the most modern machinery then represented an investment of �150000. They annually had an export trade of some 20000 tons of flour to Britain Western Australia New South Wales and South Africa some 400 employees and a payment to farmers of �500000'. unknown

HIGGINS Thomas Walker
A group of four nineteenth-century photographs featuring Thomas Walker Higgins a pioneer of Currency Creek and Middleton about 80 kilometres south of Adelaide
Two of the photographs are approximately 100 � 150 mm the other two are approximately 70 � 75 mm. All four have been removed from an old album leaf and remounted on acid-free card; each one has a small number pencilled unobtrusively in the sky in the top right-hand corner. One image in each size depicts Higgins at his pastoral property at Currency Creek with the homestead 'Higginsbrook' figuring prominently in the smaller one. In the other two images Higgins is shown standing on rocks at the coast at Middleton the site was identified on the verso in pencil. The photographer is unidentified; the images are undated but we suggest the 1860s. Irish-born Thomas Walker Higgins 1810-1899 emigrated to South Australia in September 1839. The following year he and his wife and their only child 'journeyed to the South Coast where good land was plenty. They took up a run near Currency Creek and on Section 2147 in the hundred of Goolwa they built their home naming it "Higginsbrook" after his family's ancestral home back in Ireland. It was built on a side of a hill giving a scenic view over the valley towards the sea. In 1849 Thomas Higgins purchased what is now known as Middleton. In 1854 he had the land surveyed and made plans for the township of Middleton naming after his connection with Ireland' genealogical information sourced with many thanks from the Higgins family genealogy page on RootsWeb. 4 items. unknown
