Original blind-stamped brown cloth lightly marked and a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities with slight wear to the corners; expert restoration to minor wear to the head and foot of the spine; trifling surface damage to the gutter of the rear endpaper; an excellent copy. 'I was offered some time before leaving South Australia strong inducements to write a history of that virtuous territory which should be palatable to certain classes of a small community; but as I had no high opinion of either the colony or the principles on which it was founded or its subsequent career I could not be the partisan at any price of a locality which I could not conscientiously recommend as a suitable field of emigration for any class of my fellow-country-men.' Nothing is sacred; it is perhaps hardly surprising to learn that 'every copy available was purchased and destroyed by the Angas family' Ferguson 10265 citing a note in the Petherick copy in the National Library of Australia.

1875Un album di 21x28 cm, tela coeva, cerniere rotte per metà, nome dorato al piatto e al dorso (Prof.A.Giammona). Con circa 120 pagine sulle quali sono state incollate le recensioni dei concerti australiani della cantante Ilma de Murska (nella cui compagnia Giammona era baritono e flautista), poi dell'attività di solista del Giammona, ed infine il suo insediamento a Melbourne come insegnante di musica. Sono presenti anche alcuni annunci di concerti della De Murska in Australia e a New Orleans (in fine). Un ritratto inciso di Giammona, 11x13 cm, ritagliato da giornale. Straordinario press-book di questo artista catanese, che aveva studiato al conservatorio di Napoli, ed era quindi entrato nella compagnia della famosa cantante ungherese Ilma de Murska (1834-1889), una delle stelle della musica lirica nella seconda metà dell'800. Dopo una lunga tournée in Europa e poi in America, la troupe approda nel 1875 in Australia, a Melbourne. Qui resta per tre anni, e la figura di De Murska mette a subbuglio la “mondanità australiana” (tra l'altro si risposa a Melbourne) con i suoi capricci da star. Più lineare la carriera di Giammona, prima baritono e poi flautista: il suo successo australiano si concretizza al punto tale che il maestro decide di restare in Oceania e di insegnare musica a Sidney, dove viene accolto con calore dalla comunità italiana. - Testimonianza unica non solo della carriera di un musicista, ma anche della vita culturale nell'Australia dell'800.

Pour le reste, même composition et même papier.Launay 28.Exemplaire dans une élégante reliure, avec le nom du collectionneur frappé au bas du dos : Mr Piquemal.FAUCHERY (Antoine)Beau type d’aventurier, de rêveur audacieux. Banville, un de ses plus chers amis précise dans la préface pour un de ses livres : « Ai-je besoin de vous dire qu’il a commencé par être un très mauvais écolier ?... Il aurait été de force à planter les buissons lui-même sur les chemins qui mène à l’école. » Né en 1824 à Paris, il était fils d’un ménage de graveurs : Jean-Claude Auguste et Augustine Fauchery. Il sera lui-même peintre, puis graveur sur bois, écrivain, chroniqueur, voyageur, chercheur d’or. Dans les années 1850, haute époque de la bohème murgerienne, il était célèbre dans les ateliers pour ces deux préceptes : « Un loyer ne doit jamais être payé » et « tout déménagement s’effectue par la fenêtre ».En 1856 il fit jouer au Vaudeville une pièce intitulée Calino, faite en collaboration avec Barrière.Pendant toute sa brève existence il fut la proie du démon du voyage et de l’aventure. Dès 1848 ses instincts généreux le firent partir pour la Pologne. « La voix de Mierolawski appelait les réfugiés polonais et les Français patriotes à la défense de la Pologne, et quelques intrépides formaient déjà le projet d’aller mourir là, comme Byron dans le pays d’Homère » (Banville). Il fit le voyage en compagnie de Nadar. Les deux héros n’atteignirent jamais la patrie de Chopin, et connurent les pires mésaventures à travers l’Allemagne où ils furent emprisonnés dans toutes les principautés. En 1856 il eut l’idée d’aller chercher fortune en Australie où l’on avait découvert d’abondantes mines d’or. De là il embarqua pour les Philippines. En 1860 il tomba dans l’ « officiel » et fut nommé correspondant du Moniteur pour suivre l’armée française à Pékin pendant la guerre entre la France et la Chine. Maillard raconte dans son livre sur les derniers bohèmes que Fauchery était à peu près le seul Français qui sortait du Palais Yuen-Ming-Yuen les mains et les poches vides. A défaut d’objets précieux il emporta de cette campagne de Chine une maladie infectieuse. Arrivé à Yokohama il mourut d’une gastrite le 27 avril 1861 ; à l’âge de 37 ans. Cette mort lui évita de justesse une décoration que le Gouvernement français s’apprêtait à lui remettre.Malassis qui a toujours aimé les originaux, novateurs et marginaux ne pouvait manquer d’être séduit par cet aventurier poète.

Blue cloth lettered in black on the front cover along with the battalion's colour patch a rectangle white around purple - here blue; cloth a little stained and marked; a very good copy internally fine. The book includes a five-page Honor Roll and a preface by Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert Gordon Carter DSO 1885-1963 the Battalion's Commanding Officer from August 1916 to the end of the war. The editor was 'late Sergeant "D" Company'. He states in the introductory paragraph to his foreword that he is 'keenly sensible of the fact that probably a book three times larger could have been written had it been possible to get in touch with the men of the Battalion who were in a position to know well the activities of their various Companies. The story such as it is is correct as to salient facts and this is entirely owing to the fact that Colonel Carter soon after his return to Australia wrote a complete Diary of the Battalion's movements and operations from the early days in Egypt to the Armistice'. Herbert Gordon Carter was a very interesting man: consult the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Dornbusch 338; Fielding and O'Neill page 235; Trigellis-Smith 303.

The 'Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser' for 27 March 1880 carries a lengthy article by John Plummer on colonial bookbindings displayed at the Sydney International Exhibition noting that '. in the South Australian Court Mr. E. Spiller the Government printer of Adelaide occupies the foremost rank'. Although offered primarily as a fine example of colonial binding the Acts contained in this volume numbers 196 to 238 as well as nine Private Acts are not without interest. There are numerous railways and tramways acts as well as acts on subjects as diverse as Chinese immigration the Adelaide Synagogue mining inebriates and the substantial 'No. 237. Marine Board and Navigation Act' 143 pages. E. Spiller, Government Printer hardcover
