1853réf. 78787Adelaide: W.C. Cox Printer 1853. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide W.C. Cox Printer 1853. Octavo 46 pages. Antique-style quarter calf and marbled papered boards; title page slightly dusty and a trifle marked with two tiny closed tears to the top edge; a few pencilled emphases to the margins; light vertical crease down the centre of the last six leaves; an excellent copy. The author Clerk of the Executive Council of South Australia was on board the vessel; this is his account of the first successful navigation of the Murray as far as Swan Hill by Captain Francis Cadell. Fellow-passenger James Allen also published his version of events. Captain William Randell and his paddle-steamer 'Mary Ann' left Goolwa at the Murray mouth ahead of Cadell and travelled much farther up the Murray but Cadell overtook him en route and reached Swan Hill first. However both men deservedly earned the bonus of 2000 pounds offered by the South Australian Government 'for each of the first two steamers to travel up the Murray as far as the Darling junction' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

1840réf. 80314London: 'Printed for the Proprietor by William Cecil Huttmann' 1840. First Edition. Hardcover. London 'Printed for the Proprietor by William Cecil Huttmann' 1840. Folio 352 pages 16 pages each issue. Early binder's cloth recently rebacked retaining the top two-thirds of the original spine; cloth marked and mottled with some neat restoration to the corners; edges a little marked; very light tidemarks to the leading edge of the front flyleaf and an initial blank; leading edge of the first few leaves of Number 22 slightly chipped; bottom left-hand corner piece missing from the last leaf with the loss of about 15 words of text and a small amount of the colophon which is the same in each issue; overall an excellent run of the first 22 issues of this very rare weekly newspaper which ceased publication with Volume 1 Number 29 on Tuesday September 22 1840. The prospectus appears on pages 7 and 8 of the first issue; the proprietors' object is 'not mercenary but patriotic . they are not the organs of any party . they will offer a fearless and uncompromising opposition to every deviation from the self-supporting principle on which South Australia is founded'. Their aim in part 'is to present an impartial record of the colonial intelligence . 1st from the colonial papers; 2ndly from direct correspondents in the colony and other exclusive sources'. Accordingly it contains much original material. The editor was John Stephens 1806-1850; 'about 1838 George Fife Angas employed him to write emigration propaganda. Stephens's first notable work was "The Land of Promise" republished in 1839 as "The History of the Rise and Progress of the New British Province of South Australia". In that year his exposure of absurdities in T. Horton James "Six Months in South Australia" London 1839 ran to three editions. He also edited the "South Australian Colonist" on which Angas lost heavily; it was replaced in 1841 by the monthly "South Australian News" at a cheaper rate' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The ownership signature of Robert Kyffin Thomas is pencilled onto the front flyleaf and the blindstamp of the 'Register & Observer Office Adelaide' appears on an early blank leaf. Sir Robert Kyffin Thomas 1851-1910 the grandson of Robert Thomas who arrived on the 'Africaine' at Holdfast Bay in 1836 with a printing press was himself an influential newspaperman in the state. 'In 1877 he became the principal joint proprietor of the "South Australian Register" and as chief of staff he also edited the "Adelaide Observer". A parliamentary reporter he was in charge of the Hansard branch until 1882 when he became general manager of the "South Australian Register" which became the "Register" in 1901' ADB. Ferguson 3082.

1879réf. 144271Adelaide: E. Spiller Acting Government Printer 1879. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Acting Government Printer 1879. Octavo viii 174 2 24 'The Grammar of the Narrinyeri Tribe' xii lithographed 'Facsimiles of Letters Written by Aborigines' one leaf folding 2 25-28 index pages including a page of lithographed music plus 9 lithographs from drawings by Aboriginal artists and 7 original albumen silver photographs 3 are approximately 105 × 145 mm; 4 are approximately 115 × 95 mm mounted on captioned leaves. Original green cloth attractively blocked in gilt on the front board and in blind at the rear; spine ruled and lettered in gilt; covers a little worn and marked with the binding a little shaken; acidic paper tanned with the folding facsimile document splitting at one fold; mounts a little cockled; trifling loss to the corner-tip of one photograph; page 29 printed close to the right-hand edge an imposition error during production; a few mild signs of age and handling; a very good copy of a rare and important work with the photographs in excellent condition. An early ownership signature on an initial blank is proving difficult to decipher Ruppard Sheppard. The original photographs that illustrate the book are almost certainly the work of Captain Samuel Sweet see Robert Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia. The Mechanical Eye and the Illustrated Book' 1988. We have handled a number of copies of this work and this copy conforms with what we suggest might be called the first and most desirable issue of these photographs. The substance of the book was derived from a 48-question circular compiled by George Taplin and 'distributed to all the keepers of aborigines' depots throughout the colony and to all persons who are known to be acquainted with the manners customs and languages of the aborigines'; the value of the work may be judged by the editor's remark in the introduction 'that much information has been elicited and that most of the papers show that the writers have used their powers of observation in an intelligent manner'. The untimely death of Taplin in June 1879 at the early age of 47 may account for the failure of further volumes in the series to materialize. Ferguson 16711; Holden 105 and pages 49-51. E. Spiller, Acting Government Printer hardcover
1879réf. 144282Adelaide: E.S. Wigg & Son 1879. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E.S. Wigg & Son 1879 first thus. Octavo xliv 316 pages plus 8 tinted lithographs with tissue-guards. Full russet morocco extensively tooled in gilt; all edges gilt; spine lightly sunned; joints slightly cracked but firm; a few minor signs of age and handling internally; overall in excellent condition. The handsome colonial presentation binding has the ticket 'Bound at Government Printing Office Adelaide S.A.' on the rear pastedown; it was almost certainly executed by Emanuel Spiller the South Australian Government Printer at the time. An early binder's blank contains the inscription 'The South Australian Institute to Dr. Francis Reuleaux; Privy Councillor and Royal Professor; Chief Commissioner for the Empire of Germany at the Melbourne International Exhibition. Adelaide 1881'. Franz Reuleaux 1829-1905 was an influential German mechanical engineer who oversaw German machinery exhibits at the Sydney and Melbourne exhibitions 1879-81. He is best known as the father of modern kinematics. His armorial bookplate with manuscript inventory number is mounted opposite the inscription. Spiller's name appears as exhibitor and jury-member of competitions and exhibitions of binding and printing throughout the 1880s. 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'. The book itself is an important early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and lengthy 34-page introduction by Woods were new to this edition. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution 'The Narrinyeri' 156 pages plus 6 preliminaries is the text of the revised edition of 1878 see his informative preface dated 12 April 1878 at page xliii. The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines from 1837 to 1839 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The contributions by Meyer Schuermann Gason and Bennett first appeared in 1846 1846 1874 and 1869 respectively. Ferguson 13095 noting blue sand-grain cloth and another binding in half leather but not an unillustrated edition we have identified. E.S. Wigg & Son hardcover

1840réf. 53792Sydney: W.A. Duncan Australasian Chronicle Office 1840. Australian Criminal Trial A rare trial account of a peculiar though perhaps an oddly-justified assault in Australia in 1840. "James Mudie had in his book THE FELONRY OF NEW SOUTH WALES reflected upon the capacity of Kinchela's father in his office as judge. The younger Kinchela waited for Mudie who had recently returned to the colony and administered many lashes one witness said 50 with a horsewhip. The defence was that Mudie well deserved what he got as a common libeller and that Judge Kinchela was now aged and unable to take his own part. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of £50 - one pound for each stroke" - Ferguson. Some might call the horsewhipping a simple case of frontier justice. Together Ferguson and OCLC locate only five copies all in Australia. Dbd. Small close tear to titlepage no text affected minor toning some loose leaves. Good. FERGUSON 3104. OCLC 220294602. unknown

1812réf. 27311London: The House of Commons 1812. First printing. Self wrappers pamphlet. Very good condition. A rare and important British Blue Paper illustrating Governor Macquarie's early years. The report published in 1812 was the result of a report by a Parliamentary Select Committee to explore the future of transportation of convicts to New South Wales a system that had operated for almost 25 years. It includes a complete transcript of evidence given by many important witnesses including former Governor John Hunter former Governor William Bligh Scottish Martyr Maurice Margarot Matthew Flinders First Fleet chaplain Richard Johnson and many other colonial officials. Extracts from several of Macquarie’s early dispatches are included. The report is a document of great significance in the early history of Australia. It is the first major document from the Macquarie era. It endorsed the existing system of transportation and “the liberal views of the present Governor” and became the foundation for Macquarie’s program of civil and administrative improvement.
