Quarto four volumes ii xviii 220; ii iv 432; vi 204; and vi 200 pages with numerous illustrations plus 66 pages of plates several folding 13 in colour and a large folding map. Cloth lightly scuffed; a near-fine set. The purpose of this scientific expedition sponsored by mining magnate and philanthropist William Austin Horn and with Charles Winnecke as commander and surveyor was to examine the MacDonnell Ranges on the not unreasonable premise that 'when the rest of the Continent was submerged the elevated portions of the McDonnell sic Range existed as an island and that consequently older forms of life might be found in the more inaccessible parts'. This in fact proved not to be the case but the expedition of some fourteen weeks and 2000 miles by camel was an outstanding success. 'It was not the intention . to explore a new region . But in the pursuit of natural history the expedition split into independent groups and explored undiscovered areas thus filling in more of the blank spaces in this vast region' Feeken Feeken and Spate. 'These volumes constitute one of the most substantial contributions in nineteenth-century Australian exploration but perhaps more importantly the expedition is a landmark in anthropological history because it resulted in Baldwin Spencer meeting Frank Gillen' Mulvaney.
