1933Best.-Nr. 145840Woodville: The Editor 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Woodville The Editor 1933 and 1935. Octavo two volumes viii 176; and iii-vi 47 pages. Brown sand-grain cloth blocked in gilt on the spines and front covers the latter with a design featuring a boomerang; cloth lightly flecked and rubbed; corners lightly bumped; trifling signs of age and handling; in near-fine condition. A presentation set with the first volume inscribed and signed by the editor who also hand-set and printed the book 'To my brother John with Christmas greetings TA Parkhouse 1933'. The second volume is signed and dated January 1936 by his daughter M.A. Parkhouse who finished its printing after her father's death; we presume it to be her personal copy. The introduction to the second volume by Norman B. Tindale indicates that the first volume was published in an edition of 100 copies in October 1933 despite the preface dated 8 May 1923 likely a misprint frequently overlooked. This compendium is an important resource on the Indigenous languages of South Australia including the Ngarrindjeri Kaurna and Ngaiawang languages. The publications reprinted are: 'Adelaide and Encounter Bay Tribes' by John Stephens; 'Some Account of the Manners and Superstitions of the Adelaide and Encounter Bay Aboriginal Tribes with a Vocabulary' by William Wyatt; 'A Vocabulary of the Language of the Aborigines of the Adelaide District and other Friendly Tribes of the Province of South Australia' by William Williams; 'Outlines of a Grammar Vocabulary and Phraseology of the Aboriginal Language of South Australia spoken by the Natives in and for some distance around Adelaide' by C.G. Teichelmann and C. Shuermann; and 'A Vocabulary and Outlines of the Grammatical Structure of the Murray River Language spoken by the Natives of South Australia from Wellington on the Murray as far as the Rufus' by M. Moorhouse. Loosely inserted in the second volume is an original photograph 100 × 165 mm of the press used to produce the books; the two formes of type in the image may well relate to the work. 2 items.

The imposing hospital buildings now demolished are photographed from an elevated vantage point probably the roof of the Botanic Hotel across North Terrace and the wide-angled view shows a sparsely-developed city now lost to history.

18048vo, 16 pages, contained in a complete 200 page monthly issue of the Geographische phemeriden, attractively bound in brown cloth with marbled boards and gilt spine. Very good condition and very crisp inside. Text in German. This is the 1804 Edition of an obscure and rare Geographical publication issued in Weimar/ Germany in the late 1700's and early 1800's named 'Geographische Ephemeriden.' It contains a portrait of Hernando Maghellan and a 16 page report about the Spanish Voyages to North America. Little was known about these Spanish voyages as the Spanish kept things secret. In 1791, Alessandro Malaspina undertook a search for the Northwest Passage. He surveyed the Alaska coast from Yakutat Bay to Prince William Sound. At Yakutat Bay, the expedition made contact with the Tlingit. The expedition's scientists made a study of the tribe, recording information on social mores, language, economy, warfare methods, and burial practices. During the return to Mexico, Malaspina's expedition spent a month at the Spanish outpost in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island (see below). The expedition made a study of the Nootka. The two ships then sailed south to Mexico, stopping at the Spanish settlement and mission at Monterey, California on the way. Simultaneously an expedition under Francisco de Eliza, exploring the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered an entrance to the Strait of Georgia, which prompted further investigation. In Acapulco, Malaspina took over two schooners, the Sutil and Mexicana, placed them under the command of one of his officers, Dionisio Alcalá Galiano, and had them sail north to explore the Strait of Georgia. Galiano's expedition took place in 1792 at the same time as that of George Vancouver. The two expeditions met in the Strait of Georgia and worked together to map the waters and establish the insularity of Vancouver Island

1875Best.-Nr. ABC_48856Sydney 1875. Ca. 8 x 46.5 cm. Panorama photograph consisting of three albumen prints joined together with white bookcloth. A long folding panorama photograph of Sydney Harbour in the late 19th century. It prominently features the east side of Circular Quay which at the time was a commercial working wharf dominated by the wool trade. The many wool stores that were built here have since been demolished. The large wool store of Hill Clark and Co at the end of the wharf which was completed in 1883 cannot be found on the photograph which means it must have been taken in 1882 at the latest. The photograph is not signed but is reminiscent of the work of Australian photographers Charles Bayliss 1850-1897 and Francis Whitfield Robinson ca. 1819-after 1882 who made similar panorama photos of Sydney around this time.The photograph is slightly discoloured one of the bookcloth hinges is partly torn. Otherwise in good condition. hardcover
