First Edition, xii, 556, 12pp., portrait, ownership inscription of on upper blank margin of title, original brown blind-stamped cloth, lettered in gilt on spine, a nice copy. "In 1827 Walker joined the Society of Friends, his diaries contain extracts of his remarkable journeys with James Backhouse, visiting the convict settlements in Van Dieman's Land, South Wales (including, at that time, Moreton Bay), and Norfolk Island. His wife was a member of Lady Franklin's committee to visit the female prisoners. In 1843 he was appointed to a board of inquiry into conditions at the Female Factory, built by Lieutenant-Governor Arthur in 1827 in accord with Elizabeth Fry's recommendations. Worried over the growing number of prostitutes, he formed a committee to 'suppress vice' by finding employment for destitute women. In 1848 Lieutenant-Governor Denison asked him to share in the task of providing an asylum for these women, and noted in his journal: 'the very personification of a mild, benevolent, and excellent Quaker' A respected founder with Backhouse of the Society of Friends in Hobart, Walker was always ready to plead for any convict under punishment by solitary confinement or treadmill for refusing in Quaker custom to remove his hat in respect to authority, to explain to judges the Quaker aversion to oaths, or to reason against state aid to religion. Although unable to repeat his missionary journeys, he managed to visit Friends around the island and encouraged others to travel 'in the ministry' to help new Meetings on the mainland". - Australian Dictionary of Biography.

réf. 15423Devonport Tasmania. 31 January 1930. 4pp. 12mo. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. In stamped and postmarked envelope addressed to 'Miss M. K. Dove 3 Brodrick Road Wandsworth Common London S.W.17'. Topics include the 'roasting weather' 'many of the paddocks are covered in cornstacks but people with lawns are sighing as the grass is brown & parched' with the whole of the last page dated 4 July discussing it; his friends the Luttrell family 'You remember my telling you about Ed. Luttrell's brother a retired farmer who lives at Sheffield near Mt. Roland'; Rev. Jennings-Smith 'who came from England to N.S. Wales about 1840 with a wife & 10 children'; 'Mr. Conch' who has 'got abouut 50 persons to migrate here since he came out himselft so he is a better agent than the official ones; 'two tons of black currants' going to waste. He explains that one of the cuttings relates 'the Koalas the paper spelt it wrongly' and the other to a 'lady-lecturer . a cousin of Sir Wm. Watson the poet; she is lecturing in the town on psychology'. In 1892 the English journal 'Nature' described Dove as 'A FRIEND Mr. Hamilton S. Dove who has resided for several years in Tasmania' and the last page of the letter reflects this interest in meteorology beginning: '4th July. No sign of a change yete although the Govt. Meteorologist promised us a cool change with showers on 2nd. inst.' The letter concludes: 'Oh! for an icy breeze off the Antarctic so that one could breathe again!' One of the cuttings dated by Dove to January 1930 is headed 'Migration Agent' and concerns 'Mr. J. Couch an Englishman resident for three years in Tasmania who has interested himself in promoting migration'; and the other attributed by Dove to the 'Advocate' Tasmania is headed 'A Curious Friendship' and begins: '"H.S.D." i.e. Dove himself writes: A strange instance of two very different animals chumming together has been reported from England.'

réf. 25086‘H M Ship America Palermo. / Septr 11. 1813.’. An excellent letter describing the state of affairs in Sicily during the period of British occupation 1806-1814. The recipient Sir Sidney Smith see Oxford DNB was second in command to Sir Edward Pellew head of the Mediterranean squadron which included Bromley’s ship HMS America a 76-gun third-rater launched only three years before in 1810. The present letter is written with the ship on the verge of a notable engagement described in the European Magazine March 1814 pp.245-247 quoting from the London Gazette. From Bromley’s entry by P. R. Eldershaw in the Australian Dictionary of Biography it would appear that he was merely incompetent and that the true embezzler of the £8388 Naval Office and Treasury funds discovered in 1824 was his convict clerk Bartholomew Broughton. Bromley certainly did all he could to pay the money back. The present item is 4pp 4to on a bifolium. In good condition lightly aged with folds for postage. Signed ‘E F. Bromley’ and with valediction addressed to ‘my Dear Sir Sidney’. Begns: ‘My dear Sir: / by the return of the Thistle to the Fleet I embrace the opportunity of giving you my little Information of what is going on here: it would seem by the precautions taken that we are a little afraid. The Sicilians are not quite so well-disposed towards us as we could wish - one Hundred Men as a Picquet from each of our Regts. mount Guard every night - the Artillery Horses are constantly kept saddled. and the troops told to hold themselves in readiness to turn out at a moments warning.’ He continues: ‘Their Parliament is now sitting - and have been extremely Violent on the Subject of Quarantine at Messina. Genl. Montreson Sir Henry Tucker Montresor had given their board of Health some cause of complaint respecting his Interference this came here officially and they noted his conduct censurable and that two of their Members should be sent to England with a Complaint to the Prince Regent this was however lost in the House of Lords.’ He reports that ‘such is their dread of the Plague’ that the Sicilians would not allow the ‘Horses lately arrived from Egypt’ to land: ‘they are gone to Spain - but to obviate the difficulty arising from the want of those Horses they voted 15000 Dollars for the purchase of others in this country’. The second half of the letter covers topics including Prince Belmonte’s departure from office the king never going ‘to the city’ the throwing open of ‘all reserves respecting. Game’ that do not have ‘a wall of a certain Height around them’ the ill effects of ‘regulations. respectingg the Necessaries of Life’: ‘Fish is hardly to be procured - and yesterday not an Egg to be found in the Markett’ a report from Naples of a renewal of the armistice ‘another from Messina Via Clabria says Austria has joined the Allies and that Hostilities have recommenced’. Bromley concludes: ‘all here looking out anxiously for the expected promotion - I am much afraid I shall loose sic my good Captain the future admiral Sir Josias Rowley 1765-1842 who most probably will be Included. This loss I shall feel in no trifling degree - for I have experienced the utmost kindness from him’. After a reference to ‘Harris’ he ends with ‘respects to Captn. Smith’. ‘H M Ship America Palermo. / Septr 11. 1813.’ unknown
