Adelaide: H.F. Leader Government Printer 1888. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide H.F. Leader Government Printer 1888. Octavo 16 pages plus the title-wrappers. Wrappers lightly marked a little rubbed at the extremities and slightly worn at the head and foot of the spine; plain rear cover slightly silverfish-damaged; small nick to the top edge of the front cover and the first two leaves; light vertical crease down the centre of the entire pamphlet; contemporary ownership details 'Sidney Plint P118' at the head of the front cover; a very good copy. This rare pamphlet contains an account of Lindsay's 'Arnheim's Land Explorations in 1883' but it primarily concerns a more recent expedition 'a private one fitted out at my own expense'. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' has the following to say about these series of explorations by David Lindsay: 'In 1883 the South Australian government commissioned him to explore the central and eastern part of Arnheim's Arnhem Land; his party survived fierce attacks by Aborigines one group numbering 300. In 1885-86 he took seven men and twelve camels from Hergott Springs to the Gulf of Carpentaria tracing the Finke River to its mouth and seeking information about Ludwig Leichhardt. Lindsay surveyed the country between the overland telegraph line and the Queensland border explored the MacDonnell Ranges made a brief foray into the Simpson Desert and spent six months in the country between Lake Nash and Powell's Creek'.This account first appeared in the Proceedings of the RGSSA Volume 2 Third Session 1887-8; the title-wrappers and pagination are new to this separate issue.

Woodhouse Brasenose College 1839 and E. Angas Johnson on the front endpaper. William Light 1786-1839 soldier and surveyor was born in Malaya and spent his childhood in Penang. He served with distinction and was unharmed in the Peninsular war. He missed Waterloo but was severely wounded in a minor Spanish revolution in 1823. In the years before and after this he travelled widely in Europe and mixed with artistic and literary circles; the material in this book stems from this period. He was appointed the first Surveyor-General of South Australia in February 1836; in December of that year he determined the site of Adelaide and his plan gave the city its belt of parklands. He died from tuberculosis in October 1839. Edward Angas Johnson 1873-1951 was an Adelaide medical practitioner prominent in public health circles; his grandmother was a daughter of George Fife Angas. 'His hobby was collecting curios and historical relics especially those relating to South Australian history. This remarkable collection and his library were distributed to public institutions before his death' all biographical details are from the Australian Dictionary of Biography.

MAY Edgar Charles
Ten tinted lithographs by E.C. May of scenes of Australian country life after original sketches by S.T. Gill and George Hamilton five each. Gill's titles are 'Cradling Forest Creek 1852' 'The Claim Disputed' 'Mustering Cattle' 'Native Sneaking Emus' and 'The Bushranger Pursued'. Hamilton's titles in which the horse naturally enough features prominently are 'The Lost Bushman' 'The Found Bushman' 'Bushmen in Danger' 'Australian Bushmen' and 'The Bushman'. Unpublished but circa 1890 and based on original sketches from upwards of fifty years earlier. The images are printed in brown ink on light brown arch-topped backgrounds printed surface 150 � 205 mm on uniform sheets of cream paper 200 � 275 mm. This set is in fine condition in a modern custom-made portfolio covered in brown cloth lettered in gilt on the front panel 'Scenes of Australian Country Life'
The invaluable 'Dictionary of Australian Artists. Painters Sketchers Photographers and Engravers to 1870' edited by Joan Kerr has only this to say: 'MAY E.C. lithographer signed nine lithographs celebrating life in the bush and on the goldfields c.1855-60 ML. He may have been the May who was in partnership with George Walker q.v. at Melbourne in the early 1870s'. At least he appears on their radar . We have established the following facts. Edgar Charles May 1867-1920 was born at North Adelaide on 27 May 1867; his name later appeared in the local Sands and McDougall's directories with his occupation listed as artist. One published example of his work not noted at all by Kerr and not attributed to May by Ferguson is '14 Views of Old Adelaide from Sketches in 1840-1849 by S.T. Gill F.R. Nixon S. Calvert and O. Korn' Adelaide E.S. Wigg 1890; oblong quarto 19 leaves all rectos blank comprising the gilt-pictorial title page signed in the image by E.C. May 14 full-page tinted lithographic views with tissue-guards the 3-page list of 181 subscribers and the key to plate 5 between plates 4 and 5'. This is Ferguson 9924e which is essentially the same item as Ferguson 9807 apart from the different publishers. We have inspected numerous copies of 9924e the Wigg version and the odd Galbraith one and it is clear that the original Galbraith imprint is masked by the gold blocking carrying the later Wigg imprint. The nature of the contents reworked material from well-known earlier artists the medium tinted lithographs printed in brown and the style of the work leave us in no doubt that May is responsible for all the material in '14 Views of Old Adelaide'. We also suggest that the 10 lithographs offered here were prepared by him with the intention of putting out a companion volume to '14 Views of Old Adelaide'. The change of publisher after that book was printed leads us to suggest that Galbraith or May or both lost money on the venture and who knows perhaps the Wigg issue was not a commercial success either. In any event one could see how enthusiasm for a sequel might be considerably diminished. All of these plates are rare; complete sets of them are exceptionally rare on the open market. Until now they have been poorly documented in the literature; fortunately some of them have survived to tell their own worthy tale. unknown

Either way sets are scarce. Edward Angas Johnson 1873-1951 was an Adelaide medical practitioner prominent in public health circles; his grandmother was a daughter of George Fife Angas.

'I was offered some time before leaving South Australia strong inducements to write a history of that virtuous territory which should be palatable to certain classes of a small community; but as I had no high opinion of either the colony or the principles on which it was founded or its subsequent career I could not be the partisan at any price of a locality which I could not conscientiously recommend as a suitable field of emigration for any class of my fellow-country-men.' Nothing is sacred; it is perhaps hardly surprising to learn that 'every copy available was purchased and destroyed by the Angas family' Ferguson 10265 citing the Petherick copy in the National Library copy.

FISHER James Hurtle
A Cabinet of Portraits consisting of Distinguished Characters British and Foreign: accompanied with a Brief Memoir of each Person
London: William Darton 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London William Darton circa 1825. Octavo xii 64 pages plus 64 engraved portraits with tissue-guards. Early gilt-decorated half calf and marbled papered boards a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; corners and the rear leading edge a little worn; 'Vol III' label missing from the spine; occasional scattered foxing and offsetting; a very good copy. From the collection of James Hurtle Fisher with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown and his signature in ink at the head of the engraved title page. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia' Australian Dictionary of Biography. He commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded'. Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. The destructive fire referred to above is described in detail in the biography of Light Dutton and Elder 1991. Light was living 'in the wood and reed surveyor's hut alongside Fisher's equally combustible house in the parklands on North Terrace. In his own account ". we discovered Fisher's house to be on fire. At the same time the breeze freshening up the destruction to both houses became inevitable. In less than ten minutes both houses were burnt to the ground mine catching fire at the roof by a lighted piece from Fisher's. We saved nothing of value"'. Accordingly personal mementoes such as this presumably brought by Fisher to South Australia on the 'Buffalo' must be of the utmost rarity. William Darton hardcover

KNIGHT JG. editor J. G.
The Northern Territory of South Australia
Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. Octavo 55 pages. Original flush-cut quarter cloth and card covers with the title page details repeated on the front cover; cloth a little flecked and slightly sunned and rubbed; card a little marked and mottled with a small corner crease and minimal silverfish nibbling to the rear cover; small sections of the front pastedown pulled away from the cover by the stitching but the binding is still tightly attached; trifling silverfish nibbling to the tip of the bottom corner of a handful of leaves; overall an excellent copy. At the time of publication the author was Chief Warden of the Goldfields of the Northern Territory. 'This pamphlet is published by permission of the Government of South Australia; but it is only proper to state that the recommendations herein made especially with reference to the formation of a railway have not yet been considered by the Ministry and must therefore be only regarded as the individual views of the author. A portion of the matter in the following pages was compiled by me' for Harcus's 'South Australia' published in 1876; it 'incorporated some useful papers written by residents there'. That book also contained an important chapter on Central Australia incorporated here with additional material. To quote Harcus: 'the following interesting and well-written account of Central Australia along the line of telegraph has appeared in the "Register". The writer Mr J.A. Giles is well acquainted with the whole of the country which he describes. It is the best and most trust-worthy account of Central Australia which has yet been published'. Knight remarks that it 'affords an excellent insight into the vast tract of country'. The article takes up most of the 17-page chapter; it refers on occasion and thus eliminates any misattribution to Alfred Giles the explorer with strong telegraph line credentials. It is augmented with a page of quotations from Charles Winnecke's 1879 Herbert River expedition reports. Ferguson 11231 pretty light on detail even to the extent of not recording the binding. E. Spiller, Government Printer paperback
