ref. 14758London: Alecto Editions and the State Library of New South Wales 1988. Originally engraved by Robert Havell and son printed by Edward Egerton-Williams in colours and finished by hand with printer's blindstamp. "By 1820 Sydney was a town of 12000 inhabitants about a third of whom were convicts. It had grown dramatically during the administration of Lachlan Macquarie who was appointed governor of New South Wales in 1810. Unlike previous governors Macquarie was not content merely to oversee a penal colony. His vigorous building programme changed forever the appearance of Sydney while his policy of accepting emancipated convicts as respected citizens demonstrated a social attitude strangely out of step with the times. Both these policies earned him criticism. In 1819 alarmed by Macquarie's extravagant public works the British Government commissioned a lawyer and civil servant J.T.Bigge to investigate. The attacks by his critics were met head on by Macquarrie's supporters in New South Wales. Books pamphlets and paintings luded the governor's undoubted achievements. Almost certainly Major Taylor's drawings were used in if not commissioned for this cause. The engraved view presents a flattering image of the Australian seat of government and by extension of Macquarie's term there.Taylor arranged the engraving and printing of the of the three sheet Panorama. upon his return to England in July 1822.Havell appears to have worked from Taylor's. large watercolours but amended them with additional details. and decorative elements.It is most fortuitous that the copper plates.have survived. There is no other example of such a case for 19th century Australian engravings. Alecto Editions and the State Library of New South Wales unknown books

1847ref. 189591Deal: Printed by J. Deveson 1847. The battlefields of the Punjab seen from the ranks First and only contemporary edition of this brief but spirited and entirely unembroidered account in the authentic voice of an enlisted man. The 31st were one of the most heavily engaged units of the conflict seeing action at Mudki Ferozeshah Aliwal and Sobraon. Scarce with just two locations traced BL and Boston Public Library unrecorded at auction. Vivid vignettes from the battle front are set within the context of a diary account of an uneventful voyage back from Calcutta to Gravesend. Cleveland opens on 23 October 1846 "weather continues fine and the wind steady" reminiscing of Moodkee "the first battle in which I had even been engaged I have often since endeavoured to imagine what my feelings were on that occasion but the hurry and confusion of that Action prevented the exercise of thought". One thing remains clear in his memory "So confident were our Officers and men that the Sikh Army was composed of nothing but a rebel mob that they did not believe they would hazard an engagement. this entire ignorance of the Sikh Army it is wonderful that all were alike involved even the Governor and Commander in Chief each of whom it should fairly be supposed ought to have been possessed of correct information on so important a subject". Of Ferozeshah he recalls the "lurid flames" of the burning Sikh camp "gleaming through the darkness diffusing sufficient light to make the horrors of our situation more apparent" the shot from the Sikh guns falling "among us by far to thick and fast to be agreeable". The situation only saved by what Cleveland - along with Sikh commander Tej Singh - read as the Commander in Chief's order for the cavalry to make a "false charge" which was in fact the withdrawal of the Horse Artillery desperately short of ammunition to Ferozepur to resupply while under cavalry escort. At Aliwal the 31st were on the extreme right of the British line "When we had arrived within a short distance of the village under heavy fire from the enemy who were waving their swords and cutting a great variety of menacing capers in front of us General Smith galloped up and said 'take that village boys and carry it along with you' when the whole regiment broke into a rapid double which they did not abate until they had cleared the village captured the guns upon its left and caused the whole of the enemy's left flank to run for dear life. We now quietly took possession of the whole of their camp equipage ammunition and stores; and having amply supplied ourselves. we turned in for the night near the banks of the Sutlej". And so to Sobraon "At 9 A. M. the battle had reached its warmest point - shot and shell were then whizzing through the air in rapid succession. on their fearful missions of mischief. from the muzzles of 150 pieces of ordnance - about half past 9 a low rumbling sound was heard resembling distant thunder which was caused by the report of musquetry - as the infantry ad passed the Enemy's breastworks. thus concluded the most severe contest in the annals of Indian warfare and not a second to any fought in Europe with the exception of Waterloo". Following the ratification of the Treaty of Lahore the 31st marched to Calcutta and embarked for home Cleveland composing this very personal and telling NCO's witness to world-changing events while under weigh.

Wraps rubbed and soiled with some minor chips and splits at the edges no loss of text creases to the corners; pale toning and some finger-soiling to the text; but a well preserved copy very good. paperback
