Hardcover. Condición: VG+. Estado de la sobrecubierta: VG+. Plates, Ilustrador. 1st. This "Convict's Story 1803-11" is based on the journal and letters of John Grant, who was transported from England to the Australian colony for life, his sentance arising from a crime of passion. Grant was basically an educated, sensative and respectable young man, thwarted in love. Late in 1811 he was pardoned and returned to England. His extensive letters and records of his transportation and experiences in Australia, including a spell in the Hell-hole of Norfolk Island prison, were disovered by the author while he was researching the history of a long established London bank, where they had lain unopened for about 150 years. Thus the origins of the book are as extraordinary as is the story the documents revealed. 222 pages including appendices, index , eight b/w plates (two being documents). Black hard covers with gilt spine titles VG+ with small dent lower front edge adjacent spine, ink name FFEP, text block otherwise excellent. Colour art DJ VG+.

First edition: octavo; hardcover, black boards with silver-gilt spine-titling; 222pp., with a monochrome frontispiece and 7 plates likewise. Minor wear; a few scattered spots to early pages and browning with dense spotting to text block edges. Price-clipped dustwrapper is well-rubbed with scrapes and chips at the corners and spine extremities; now backed by archival-quality white paper and professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Convicted to death due to a crime of passion, John Grant's sentence was commuted to transportation for life to the colony of New South Wales. Taking with him - rather bizarrely - a harpsichord and a copy of the works of Racine, he survived the trip and probably would have faded into obscurity but for two things: his inflated sense of fairness and the prodding of another convict - Irish Baronet, Sir Henry Hayes Brown - who drove him to rebellion. He was thus sentenced to be flogged upon his arrival at the even worse convict settlement of Norfolk Island. Author Hill-Reid discovered the tale of John Grant in a manuscript found in a trunk in a London bank vault; his re-telling of this hapless fighter for justice in a land where such notions were a mere luxury, is engaging and casts a wonderful light upon the lifestyle of the early Australian colony.
