192812 pages, including 2 in-text sketch maps. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a most fascinating expedition report on the Barkly Tableland of North Australia, including a geographical study of the Mitchell grass lands and prairies of Central Queensland, the Lake Nash area, the well-known holding of Avon Downs, the natural and artificial courses of water, and also the sheep pastures. Some of the sheep were brought from Vandelin Island and their health improved dramatically as a result. Williams discusses the possibility of more sheep raising on this tableland, and supports his theory with a brief summary of the usage of the roads and railways and also on the Pastoral Settlement within the Northern Country in the preceding 50 years, while making suggestions for possible improvements.

A semi-literate but spirited epistle. Little is to be discovered concerning the identity of the writer. Addressed to 'My Darling Son' and signed 'good bye be good ever yours and yours alone William Kay' but with a few hints that the letter may not in fact be from a father to his son. Kay begins by stating that he is going to fulfil his promise and write 'a long letter'. Of the journey he writes: 'its not particularly rough but its the speed we are going that makes her roll we are now steaming past Deal at the rate of 19.8. so you can judge the rate we are going . we are ripping as the sailors call it. She's a very good sea boat so far. Shes alright down below but on deck oh my she simply washes down fore and half so we stay down below as much as we can. We had it rough last night off lands end but she behaved very well you would laugh if you were here we were standing on the forecastle last night watching her capers and a big fat wave came and washed us out of it she doesnt attempt to jump over them but she simply plunges right through it You ought to of seen us we was like a lot of drownded rats and then their was a yell how do you like Her.' He reports that 'we have a lot of young Blue Jacket sailor Boys on board we are going to take them out to Australia and I pittied them last night they were all sick and one of our little drumer sic Boys was that bad we had to take him to the Doctor in fact we thought he was going to roll up but he's alright now of course it doesnt effect us old seadogs'. He reports that the ship is going to Grimsby and Hull and then Torquay. He declares 'I shant kiss anybody else Annie Glenister ask me for one when I was at home but I wouldnt giver her one she said it was to bad of me she said if it was Lou Blane you wouldnt say no Not I. why should I you had better answer that one day when I was in No. 9 Union terrace the two annies got me down in the dressmaking shop and both of them kissed me what cheek but didnt I pay them out for it I got annie J. Down and capsized all her dressmaking gear all over her'. Docketed 'Very last letter. From on board ship.' HMS Tauranga was an Pearl-class Royal Navy cruiser built by J. & G. Thomson Glasgow and originally named HMS Phoenix. She was launched on 28 October 1889 and was renamed Tauranga as part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station on 2 April 1890 arriving in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891. She saw service during the Samoan civil war in 1899 and spent between 1901 and 1903 in reserve at Sydney before being assigned to the New Zealand division of the Australia Station. She left the Australia Station on 14 December 1904 and was sold for scrap in July 1906. 'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' [undated, but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia, 1890]. unknown

1848réf. 123412London: John Murray 1848. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Murray 1848. Octavo xii 392 4 advertisements pages with several tables plus a small folding map 215 × 170 mm. Brown cloth lettered in gilt on the spine and decorated in blind on the spine and both sides later rebacked retaining the original backstrip but with replacement endpapers; cloth a little rubbed marked and scuffed with the corners a little worn and bumped; occasional foxing; minor signs of use and age; a very good copy. For 'the most part the result of seven years' personal observation in the Colony of South Australia and contains from this source detailed statements on the prospects of labourer and farmer on Agriculture Stock Farming Building Gardening Manufacturing in various branches . and Mining and Mineral Productions'. There are chapters on overlanding 31 pages and Aborigines 52 pages. Significantly this copy contains numerous contemporary annotations in pencil on 25 pages. Many of the comments are highly critical. A fine example is the first one in the book at the foot of the second page of the preface below the author's remarks about the 'capacities and kindliness of the new home which may await all who are desirous to emigrate to the splendid country and exquisite climate of South Australia'. Excuse me what about the 'Drawbacks - Scorching sun and hot winds clouds of dust millions of flies and fleas and moschettos and ants swarms of rogues and lying rascals plenty of Thieves - also high Rents and high price of food and a deprivation of luxuries & sometimes of the necessaries of life'. Several of the complaints relate to prices especially of food; one of them is dated 'vegetables we find very dear. Mar 1849'. The author finishes a few pages about fires thus: 'In a large plain covered with such materials and on fire there would be little chance of escape; and few lamentations would be allowed as death would be too instantaneous. From this danger however so formidable in America the Australians are happily relieved'. The man on the spot retorts: 'Black Thursday is a witness that the Australians are not always so happily relieved'. Provenance: Harold Sheard with his bookplate designed by his wife the artist Rose Lowcay. John Murray hardcover
