Adelaide: W.C. Cox Printer 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Printer 1853. Octavo 46 pages. Antique-style quarter calf and marbled papered boards; title page slightly dusty and a trifle marked with two tiny closed tears to the top edge; a few pencilled emphases to the margins; light vertical crease down the centre of the last six leaves; an excellent copy. The author Clerk of the Executive Council of South Australia was on board the vessel; this is his account of the first successful navigation of the Murray as far as Swan Hill by Captain Francis Cadell. Fellow-passenger James Allen also published his version of events. Captain William Randell and his paddle-steamer 'Mary Ann' left Goolwa at the Murray mouth ahead of Cadell and travelled much farther up the Murray but Cadell overtook him en route and reached Swan Hill first. However both men deservedly earned the bonus of 2000 pounds offered by the South Australian Government 'for each of the first two steamers to travel up the Murray as far as the Darling junction' Australian Dictionary of Biography.

State Children in Australia. A History of Boarding Out and its Developments
Adelaide: printed by Vardon and Sons for the State Children's Council 1907. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide printed by Vardon and Sons for the State Children's Council 1907. Octavo i 147 pages plus 6 plates. Original green cloth with the title in gilt on the spine; cloth slightly rubbed and bumped at the extremities and lightly marked; new endpapers; trifling nick to the leading edge of the first ten leaves; an excellent copy. 'This book is a labour of love. It was written by Miss Spence as a recognition of the services to the children of the State rendered by her friend Miss C.E. Clark. The two ladies have been friends for fifty years and were associated in the beginning of the Boarding Out of State Children in South Australia. Miss Spence wrote the book and the Council and other friends have subscribed to print and publish it . It is sent forth to assist any fellow-workers among children to whom its pages may bring encouragement stimulus or information.' This may explain why the book - at least in our experience - is rare and the only other copy we have handled was bound in green cloth without the green lettering also apparently original. Not marked as such but from the collection of Sir Edward Charles Stirling. printed by Vardon and Sons [for the State Children's Council] hardcover

Photography. STEPHENSON Edward R.
Essays and Miscellaneous Pieces by the late Edward R. Stephenson. With a preface by his friend C. Todd
Adelaide: Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Andrews Thomas and Clark 1865. Octavo ii frontispiece ii title leaf vi 118 vi book review pages with 2 mounted albumen paper photographs one is a frontispiece portrait of Stephenson 87 � 57 mm; the other is of a sketch presumably by Stephenson 103 � 57 mm. The book review reprinted from the South Australian Register December 28 1865 has been folded down the middle before being bound in. Full morocco now expertly rebacked all edges gilt contemporary but probably not original - we have only seen blind-stamped cloth before; corners worn front and rear covers a little scuffed; overall a very good copy. One of the earliest Australian imprints illustrated with original photographs see Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia' Sydney 1988 where it is incorrectly referred to in the text and index as Stevensen. The first essay the St Peter's Collegiate School Prize Essay of 1864 is entitled 'The Difficulties of Colonization in the Northern Territory' 17 pages; another two pages are devoted to the importance of the acquisition of the Northern Territory to South Australia. Almost half the book 58 pages is given over to verse by Stephenson who died at the age of 18 in May 1865. Inscribed on an early blank in what we know to be the hand of Charles Todd to 'Mr Edwd Stirling Junr / Xmas 1865'; with the pictorial bookplate 'Gang forward' of Edward Charles Stirling. Ferguson 16245; Holden 103. We have previously sold a copy inscribed by Todd to his daughter on 4 December 1865 in which the review was loosely inserted as an eight-page pamphlet. The Christmas inscription and the inclusion of the review not published until 28 December suggest that this morocco binding came after the event. Andrews, Thomas, and Clark hardcover

Cricket. Australia 1947
A detached autograph album leaf 135 x 85 mm signed in ink by the Australian team for the Fourth Test match against England in Adelaide 31 January and 1 3-6 February 1947. The signatures are Bradman Captain Dooland Freer 12th man M.R. Harvey Hassett Ian Johnson Lindwall McCool Miller Morris Tallon and Toshack
Apart from two tiny filing holes along the top edge away from the signatures the leaf is in excellent condition. Offered together with the official 'Fourth Test Illustrated Souvenir Programme and Score Sheet. Adelaide Oval 1947' cover title and a facsimile 'MCC Tour in Australia & New Zealand 1946-47' signature sheet 205 x 140 mm. The match summary in Webster supplies some interesting statistics: Compton and Morris provided the first instance of two batsmen scoring centuries in each innings in the same Test; Lindwall ended the England first innings with three wickets in four balls; Bradman scored a duck in his first innings and Evans batted for 95 minutes in the second innings before scoring his first run a record for all first-class cricket. 'Neil Harvey rated his oldest brother Mervyn as "the best" cricketer' of all six Harvey brothers four of whom played first-class cricket. The war interrupted his promising career and this match was his Test debut; 'he scored 12 and 31 partnering Arthur Morris in a 116 opening stand but Australia was over-supplied with openers and it remained his solitary Test' Oxford Companion to Australian Cricket. The match was drawn. unknown

HACK Stephen
Explorations by Mr. S. Hack. Appointment and Instructions to Mr. S. Hack and Reports &c. by him of an Exploring Expedition into the North-Western Interior. Together with HARRIS W.G.: North-Western Explorations
Adelaide: Government Printer 1857. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide Government Printer 1857 and 1857. Foolscap folio two Parliamentary Papers 11 pages plus 2 folding maps 267 x 190 mm and approximately 220 x 385 mm printed surface and 2 pages plus a large folding map 510 x 715 mm. Both items are bound together in modern cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; in fine condition. Hack's instructions were to travel by sea to Port Lincoln overland to Streaky Bay then travel 'as nearly due north as the features of the country will allow . as far as the northern boundary of this province. Every endeavour is to be made to conciliate and win the goodwill of such natives as may be encountered during the journey; and you are to urge upon each individual of the party the great desirability of impressing the aborigines favourably towards Europeans by keeping good faith with them and by not offending against their natural habits and prejudices'. The northerly route in fact commenced about 40 miles east of Streaky Bay; the return route from their furthest north was basically south-east around the bottom of Lake Gairdner to Port Augusta. The bulk of the paper comprises various progress reports from Hack during the course of the expedition from June to September accompanied by the two maps plus two lengthy summary reports after the event. The second paper comprises a report from Harris the surveyor on the expedition and a detailed route map of the entire area covered. It includes the tracks of Warburton who also conducted 'his first notable journey in 1857 to the dry country south and west of Lake Gairdner. Hack did not follow Warburton's tracks but rather supplemented and extended his examinations' Feeken Feeken and Spate. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Number 156 and Number 189 of 1857-58. McLaren 9482 and 9483. Government Printer hardcover
