Lawrence Allen Wells third in command on the ill-fated Elder expedition of 1891-92 was leader. The party set out from Mullewa east of Geraldton on 13 June 1896; lack of water and the gruelling conditions brought the official expedition to an end on 6 November at Noonkanbah Station on the Fitzroy River with two men unaccounted for. It was not until late May of the following year that Wells located the bodies of the missing men his cousin Charles Wells and George Lindsay Jones nephew of the explorer David Lindsay. The detailed accounts of the three search expeditions undertaken by Wells accompanied by Nat Buchanan George Keartland and Sub-Inspector Ord respectively are included.

Octavo complete with maps; original wrappers and boards preserved in a brown morocco bookform box. First edition: one of 500 copies printed of the narrative of one of the last great Australian exploring expeditions written by the leader of the expedition and complete with its maps. Lindsay led this extensive expedition - it ran to eight men forty-four camels and five Afghan camel drivers - organised by the South Australian Branch of the Royal Geographical Society and equipped by Sir Thomas Elder to explore the unknown interior between South Australia and the west coast and to look for Leichhardt. Lindsay's exhaustive report includes the surveyor L.A. Wells's journal of the expedition. Also included is an extensive Aboriginal vocabulary collected by Wells from the Pidong tribe at the head of the Murchison River the Minninng tribe at Fraser Range from the Everard Ranges at Mount Illbillee and from the "Wallawe" tribe at Yarragabie Station Western Australia. He states "Appended is a list of native names which I have collected from four tribes met with during the expedition.".

Compiled and drawn by both Lindsay and Wells these maps show in great detail the earlier discoveries of Giles Gosse Forrest and Hunt as well as the route taken by the Elder explorers. . C.E.

FIRST EDITION of the posthumously published journal by the captain who came closest to the site where Franklin's expedition ended. "In 1849 Collinson was appointed to command an expedition for the relief of Sir John Franklin by way of the Bering Strait; he himself had command of the Enterprise and with him was Commander Robert Le Mesurier McClure in the Investigator. The two ships sailed together from Plymouth on 20 January 1850 but unfortunately separated in the neighbourhood of Cape Horn and did not meet again. The Enterprise passed Point Barrow Alaska on 21 August but the ice forced Collinson to return south and winter in Hong Kong. In 1851 he was again hampered by ice and in 1852 was frozen in at Cambridge Bay for the winter. In 1853 the Enterprise was caught in the ice at Camden Bay and there passed a third winter. She reached Point Barrow on 8 August 1854 after being shut up in the Arctic entirely on her own resources for upwards of three years. Of the many who had searched for Franklin Collinson came closest to the place where the expedition had ended. Collinson's addition to geographical knowledge on this Arctic trip was very considerable and would have been tantamount to the discovery of the north-west passage had this not been already actually achieved by the men of the Investigator" DNB.

1853ref. 347481853. Three woodblock-printed sheets on mulberry paper. Mild edge wear old folds. A detailed revealing group of late Tokugawa samurai reference sheets recording the names ranks stipends heraldry standards and service obligations through which the shogunate and Edo public understood military readiness at the moment of Perry's arrival. Commodore Matthew C. Perry anchored off Uraga at the entrance to Edo Bay in July 1853. His arrival made visible the vulnerability of the Tokugawa capital and produced an immediate demand for information about coastal defence domain strength and the lords responsible for guarding the approaches to Edo. Kawaraban and related broadsides answered that demand in compressed visual form combining names crests military symbols income figures and geographical or administrative data. The first printed sheet appears to be an earlier roster of Edo office-holders or guard personnel. Its tabular format with names offices crests and standards records the recognitional system already in place within Tokugawa administration before the Perry crisis sharpened the public appetite for such information. The manuscript sheet is ruled into a large grid with headings formed from the twelve zodiac signs and the four seasons including Rat Ox Tiger Hare and the seasonal headings. The entries appear to record named houses Lords or retainers against recurring seasonal and cyclical categories probably for service attendance or ceremonial obligation. The third sheet is headed "Rekko yushinroku" here translated as "Register of Valiant Retainers of the Lords." It lists major daimyo houses and their principal retainers with domain or house headings names titles stipend figures in koku family crests standards and related insignia. Visible regional or house designations include "Kaga" "Owari" "Kii" "Satsuma" "Higo" and "Tosa." The sheet gives a graphic register of the daimyo world mobilised or imagined as mobilised around the defence of Edo Bay. Together the sheets preserve the administrative and visual language of Tokugawa defence at a moment of acute pressure. They are not formal shogunal orders and the first sheet may predate Perrys arrival but they show how late Edo Japan translated rank obligation military identity and coastal defence into portable tabular form. Their compression the names of Lords and retainers the scale of domains the crests and standards by which armed households could be recognised and the bureaucratic habits of a regime suddenly forced to account for its capacity to defend the country reveals these documents' immediacy and importance. unknown
