Adelaide: W.C. Cox Printer 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Printer 1853. Octavo 46 pages. Relatively recent quarter morocco and buckram by the Law Bindery Melbourne; title leaf a little foxed with minimal light scattered foxing to a few other leaves; an excellent copy with most interesting provenance see below. 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. We have noted previously the manuscript correction page 5 line 4 'largest' to 'longest' river and presume it is in Kinloch's hand. At the head of the title page of this copy is the pencilled ownership name possibly his signature of Robert Wadsworth over-written in red ink by the subsequent owner 'John Shillinglaw from Robert Wadsworth 1854'. Shillingworth has annotated the text in both pencil and red ink three and seven pages respectively. The pencilling identifies the 'gentleman's son' working as a shepherd as 'old "Bigodd Macdonald"' and asks elsewhere of a sentence nine lines long 'what does this wretched twaddler mean' he's got a point too!. Robert Wadsworth was eventually Clerk of the Victorian Executive Council from 1875 to 1889; of passing interest to bibliophiles his son Arthur 1864-1931 was the first Commonwealth Parliamentary Librarian having 'charge of the Commonwealth library for over twenty-six years while also being titular head of the Victorian State parliamentary library' Australian Dictionary of Biography. John Joseph Shillinglaw 1831-1905 public servant and historian was the eldest son of the librarian of the Royal Geographical Society. 'He was to study under Captain John Washington eminent maritime surveyor and in 1852 he migrated with his father and brothers to Victoria arriving in October. From November he was chief clerk of petty sessions at Williamstown and in 1854 was appointed inspector and sometime acting superintendent of the Water Police. He was also secretary to the Steam Navigation Board until December 1857. In 1856-69 he was shipping-master for the Port of Melbourne and registrar of seamen; he helped to found the first Sailors' Home and did much to improve the working conditions of seamen'. It is hardly surprising that he should be given a copy of this book soon after its publication. He held various public service positions over the years; from 1885-94 he 'was secretary to the royal commission on vegetable products. He was also secretary to the Board of Viticulture. Shillinglaw was an enthusiast in whatever department he worked; however he is remembered for his association with colonial literature and history'. He was the author of numerous books and on his death his estate 'included a vast collection of papers and rare books' presumably including this item ADB. Ferguson 11196. W.C. Cox, Printer hardcover

"The 242-mile Colorado River aqueduct provided the water that made the large scale population and economic growth of Southern California possible. Stretching 242 miles from the Colorado River on the California-Arizona border to its final holding reservoir near Riverside California the Colorado River Aqueduct consists of more than 90 miles of tunnels nearly 55 miles of cut-and-cover conduit almost 30 miles of siphons and five pumping stations. Supplying approximately 1.2 million acre-feet of water a year - more than a billion gallons a day - it helped make possible the phenomenal growth of Los Angeles San Diego and surrounding Southern California areas in the second half of the 20th century. Funded by a bond issue of $220 million approved by voters in 1931 the Colorado River Aqueduct is capable of lifting more than 1600 cubic feet of water per second to a static height of 1600 feet as it travels over several desert mountain ranges. Recognizing the project's unprecedented length cost pumping rate lift and severe climate and terrain the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1955 selected it as one of Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders" American Society of Civil Engineers.

Savannah: J.B. Cubbedge Book & Job Printer 1849. 19 1 pp. Original printed wrappers some chipping stitched. Text lightly foxed Good. The rear wrapper lists the member ministers their churches and "post offices." The Minutes recite the meeting's activities. The Association's Report answers several queries including this one from Euhaw: "Should a church exclude a colored member who has in accordance with the wish and command of his owner put away his wife and married another" Answer: Despite "the scripture requirement of implicit obedience from servants to their own masters" the separation of husband and former wife "when the parties remain in the same neighborhood does not preclude the hope of subsequent reunion." Hence the second marriage is "of dubious morality" and the church should "relieve herself from responsibility by excluding such member from her communion." The Corresponding Letter from H.D. Duncan Moderator reminds the flock that "our colored population look to us and us alone under God for instruction in the way of life." FIRST EDITION. Not in De Renne Sabin LCP. J.B.
