2001Best.-Nr. 146654Adelaide: Friends of the State Library of South Australia 2001. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide Friends of the State Library of South Australia 2001 first thus/ 1858 to 1863. Octavo v-xxxvi 396 pages plus a frontispiece portrait and a large folding map. Quarter calf and pictorial cloth; a fine copy. Number 76 of only 99 copies of the deluxe issue in a total edition of 500 copies. Australian Parliamentary Editions Number 3. 'This work republishes the five . papers published soon after the end of each of Stuart's journeys' with the exception of the second expedition from April to July 1859 which was not published as a parliamentary paper; the map is reproduced from the 1865 edition of the journals edited by William Hardman. The text of this edition is closest to Stuart's manuscripts as Hardman substantially rewrote condensed and omitted passages in his edition and was famously disdainful of Stuart. The 29-page introduction by Valmai Hankel is new to this edition. In this series to 'make them easier to read the original foolscap folio format has been changed and the type reset in a more legible size'. Friends of the State Library of South Australia hardcover

Best.-Nr. 131324Fine. One page quarto folded once across the middle; in fine condition. The letter accompanied an inscribed and signed copy of Thiele's book 'The Little Desert' Rigby 1975. It is dated 3 April 1997 and was sent from King Scrub via Dayboro in Queensland where the Thieles lived after leaving Adelaide. He is responding to a letter from his old Adelaide friend Alan Brissenden 1932-2020 academic noted scholar of Shakespeare writer and critic who had recently visited the Little Desert in Victoria's Wimmera district and in the first paragraph he writes about his love for the area. He encloses a photocopy of a recent newspaper article still present on the practice of modern plagiarism which leads him to a critical discussion of the actions of Helen Demidenko / Darville referencing her recent fortnightly columns in the 'Courier Mail' 'Her first piece was unbelievably awful. A few days later it was revealed that - yet again - she had pinched much of it verbatim from an American "professor" on the Internet'. Apparently plagiarism 'is actually taught as a technique at some universities . Incredible! We obviously live in "the new morality"'. He finishes on a positive note still busy with publishers 'although I think it is about time I hung up my keyboard and retired to a hammock under the palm trees. Now I'll let you get on with your own work so that you can finish a book on Shakespeare with a bit of post-modern intertextualisation'. unknown

Flush-cut card covers blue paper mounted on plain card originally sewn onto the text thread now missing; minor signs of use and age but nonetheless a decent copy with the contemporary ownership details of young 'Friedrich Busch 1873' in ink on the inside front cover. The outside rear cover lists nine titles including this one in Wickes' Educational Series for Australian Use. The works were 'specially compiled' by Edward Walter Wickes 1795-1868 'formerly Secretary to the Board of Education' who had also conducted his own school in North Adelaide in the 1840s and 1850s. A lengthy testimonial to him appeared in the 'South Australian Weekly Chronicle' 12 October 1867. In part it noted that 'he essayed to benefit the children of the working classes by the introduction of very cheap school books which he accomplished for he published books so cheap that the poorest were not debarred from purchasing them'. Despite the large numbers printed clearly there were at least 32000 of our title by 1871 and it appears to have still been published as late as 1891 copies of any edition are very scarce. Trove records a grand total of only five copies ranging from 1858 to 1891 with none from the 1870s. Printed and Published by David Gall paperback
