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.

Sabin 4155. Palau, 25974. Edition originale de cette œuvre de vulgarisation, qui sera rééditée en 1813 et 1835. Son auteur, Alphonse de Beauchamp (1767-1832), signe là sa troisième publication, mais c’est pour lui un travail alimentaire, nécessaire pour subvenir à ses besoins. En effet, employé du Ministère de la Police, il s’est attiré les foudres du redoutable Fouché pour son Histoire de la Guerre de Vendée, parue en 1806. Le turbulent ministre de Napoléon fait saisir la troisième édition de l’ouvrage cette même année 1808, avant de révoquer son subalterne et de l’assigner à résidence (surveillée) aux Fossés. Arrêté de nouveau en 1809, Beauchamp est contraint de signer à la Préfecture de Police l’engagement de cesser ses écrits sur les Guerres de l’Ouest afin de recouvrer sa liberté. Prolifique essayiste et historien, il rédige une trentaine d’ouvrages durant le reste de sa carrière, et meurt du choléra en 1832.
