Ferguson 3306 'A very early and rare pamphlet' citing only the Mitchell Library copy. This facsimile states it is 'Microfilmed . from a copy held in the Public Library of South Australia' later the State Library of South Australia but we cannot locate either of these recorded copies in Trove. Ferguson transcribes the name of the author on the title page as 'B.T. Thachelmann Sic - pen-altered to C.G. Teichelmann'. The original book from which this facsimile edition was prepared shows the author as 'R.T. Tiechelmann' with the initials corrected in pen to read 'C.G.'. More significantly that original copy contained some interesting annotations on the title page and a rear blank reproduced in the facsimile edition. The latter runs to some 90 words: 'After being more acquainted with the language & more intimate with some of the leading Aborigines I asked one of them to tell my sic candidly what their belief was with regard to the future world!'.

Original green cloth lettered and decorated in gilt on the front cover and spine and ruled in blind front and rear; cloth moderately flecked; an excellent copy internally fine. Printed and bound in Melbourne with the binder's label of George Robertson on the rear pastedown. Mrs John Crawford Woods was the wife of the first minister 1855-1889 of the Unitarian Christian Church in South Australia. This book 'was published in Adelaide at a time when novels of primitive Christianity were in vogue in Britain' and according to Paul Depasquale in 'A Critical History of South Australian Literature 1836-1930' enabled Mrs Woods to more than satisfy George Eliot's dictum about female authors: 'The inability of a lady novelist to describe actual life and her fellow men is in inverse proportion to her confident eloquence about God and the other world and the means by which she usually chooses to conduct you to true ideas of the invisible is a totally false picture of the visible'.
