8vo. Bound in modern qt.calf with marbled sides. xxii,583pp. uncut. Frontispiece portrait of Hunter. Vignette on title page. Large folding map. Lacks the plate "Family of NSW". The abridged octavo edition of Hunter's Journal published the same year as the quarto first edition.

Quarto, with 17 engraved plates and charts; with the list of subscribers; a very large copy, edges uncut, in original paper boards, remnants of original paper label to spine, worn; quarter morocco box. An exceptional copy, unsophisticated in original publisher's boards binding, completely uncut and very large (page size 312 x 250 mm). This impressive copy was acquired by its first owner (Brydges, see provenance) in March of the year of publication, 1793; his name does not appear in the list of subscribers, but it is worth noting that the subscription amounted to 595 copies, of which a full two-thirds went to booksellers. The second governor's important Journal describing the first years of settlement at Sydney was published by Stockdale, who had earlier prepared Phillip's journal for publication. In many ways it is a continuation to Phillip's book and is certainly its equal in importance as the extended official account of the new colony. Second captain of the Sirius under Phillip for the voyage to Botany Bay, Hunter was an experienced sea captain and the most dedicated navigator of the First Fleeters. Actively engaged in surveying and exploration in New South Wales, he left for England in late 1791 after the loss of the Sirius at Norfolk Island while under his command. He spent the next few years preparing his journals for publication before going to sea again, and finally returning to the colony as its second governor in 1795. Hunter's particular skills in surveying and charting make his book in effect the first pilot for Australian waters and a significant companion to Cook in particular. The maps here, many of them from original cartography by Hunter, as well as Dawes and Bradley, are very fine. The engraved plates include the well-known "View of the Settlement at Sydney Cove, Port Jackson, 20th August 1788" (the first published engraving of Sydney) and P.G. King's "A Family of New South Wales", engraved by William Blake (Essick, William Blake's Commercial Book Illustrations, XXVII). Hunter gives an excellent account of recent exploration, prints Phillip's despatches to the end of 1791, and describes the settlement at Norfolk Island (the first account of Norfolk Island and the first publication of anything by Philip Gidley King). The book was edited for the press by the Scottish antiquarian George Chalmers, and was heavily subscribed by booksellers (including 50 copies to Robinson); its clout can easily be measured by noting that its other subscribers include Joseph Banks, Lord Sydney, Evan Nepean, and Alexander Dalrymple. . Provenance: H.S.J. Brydges (second and third initials uncertain but bold ink inscription on front flyleaf dated from Bath, 20 March 1793); Robert Henry Lee Warner (1823-1895, with armorial bookplate). Lee-Warner inherited Tyberton Court, Hereford, from the Brydges family. Spine very worn and boards rubbed, but in impressive original condition.

Condición: Some age marks throughout. Quarto, with 17 engraved plates and charts; with the list of subscribers; a fine and large copy, completely uncut, in later quarter vellum and plain boards; slipcase. A splendid copy of the first edition of Hunter's important Journal of the first years of settlement at Sydney. This memoir by the second governor was published by Stockdale, who had earlier prepared Phillip's journal for publication. In many ways it is a continuation to Phillip's book and is certainly its equal in importance as the extended official account of the new colony. This is a fine, large copy and the title-page, often cropped by the binder, here has generous margins.

Actively engaged in surveying and exploration in New South Wales, he left for England in late 1791 after the loss of the Sirius at Norfolk Island while under his command.

Streeter, Library of Navigation, Pacific Voyages, Cartography on the front paste-down, his sale Christie's New York, 16th April 2007, lot 272. First edition. Hunter first sailed to Port Jackson as second-in-command of the "Sirius" with the First Fleet in 1788 and succeeded Phillip as Governor of New South Wales. As an experienced navigator he encouraged the exploration of the Australian coastline, and the early discoveries of Flinders and Bass owe much to him. At the end of 1788 he made a remarkable 6-month circumnavigation eastward from Port Jackson to collect a shipment of supplies from Cape Town and from which he continued east back to Port Jackson. Hunter, like Phillip in his account of Port Jackson, notes the arrival of La Perouse shortly before his disappearance in the Pacific. Ferguson 152; Hill 857; Kroepelien 620. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

"Hunter, vice-admiral and governor of New South Wales in succession to Governor Phillip, went out as second-in-command on the Sirius in the first convict fleet. He was an experienced and scientific navigator. With his encouragement, the exploration of the coastline of Australia made rapid progress, and the early discoveries of Flinders and Bass owe much to him. His journal is a very valuable work on the early history of the English settlement in Australia" - Hill. The plate of the aboriginal family is engraved by William Blake. ESTC N33298. HILL 857 (ref). FERGUSON 153.

First edition of this handsome work by a captain of the First Fleet. The account, which "no collection should be without" (Wantrup), provides an early account of the first years of English settlement in Australia. This copy retains the date at the foot of the title page, usually trimmed, and is extra-illustrated with a map of the coastal regions of New South Wales. The Scottish John Hunter (1737-1821) enrolled in the navy in 1755 and quickly rose through the ranks. He was appointed second captain under Governor Phillip of HMS Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet. "When Phillip was transferred mid-voyage to the Supply he placed Hunter in command of the Sirius and the main convoy" (ibid.). When Sirius was wrecked off Norfolk Island in 1790, leaving the crew stranded for nearly a year, Hunter had to return to England to face court martial. After Hunter was found blameless in the loss of the ship, he stayed in England to work on the publication of his journal. Returning to New South Wales in 1795, Hunter held the governor's office until 1799, when he was recalled to England. "With his encouragement, the exploration of the coastline of Australia made rapid progress, and the early discoveries of Flinders and Bass owe much to him" (Hill). "Hunter gives an excellent account of many activities, particularly exploration and the settlement at Norfolk Island, which are treated more cursorily by the other First Fleet chroniclers. The engraved plates and maps, many of the latter from original cartography by Hunter, Dayes, and Bradley, are very fine. The plates include the well-known 'View of the Settlement at Sydney Cove, Port Jackson' (the first published engraving of Sydney) and King's 'A Family of New South Wales'" (Eighteenth-Century Australiana, p. 67). This copy is extra-illustrated with "A New and Accurate Map of New South Wales with Norfolk and Lord Howes Islands Port Jackson, &c. from Actual Surveys" (1794) by Robert Wilkinson. The rare hand-coloured map shows the coastal regions of New South Wales, with insets of Lord Howe's Island, Port Jackson Bay, and Norfolk Island. The text was issued in two forms: the standard issue on laid paper (as here) and a special issue on superfine Wove Royal paper. Ferguson notes that the special issue is on larger paper, though Wantrup refutes this, stating that the only difference is the paper stock. Crittenden 110; Ferguson 152; Hill 857; Wantrup 13. Eighteenth-century Australiana, 1993. Quarto (290 x 223 mm), pp. [xviii], 583, [i] blank. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Hunter by R. Dighton after D. Orme, engraved vignette on title, 13 engraved plates (one of an aboriginal family, engraved by William Blake), 2 large folding engraved map; extra-illustrated with folding map hand-coloured in outline. Contemporary half calf, spine with raised bands, small gilt device in each compartment, dark brown calf label, brown pasteboard sides, edges sprinkled brown. A few text leaves with pencilled notes. Joints splitting but firm, spine creased and judiciously recoloured in places, corners and board edges bumped, minor stripping of leather and some marks to boards, plan of Norfolk Island trimmed to neatline, scattered foxing, folding maps with offsetting, tear to upper corner of 3Q4 with loss of page number. A very good copy.

since the publication of Phillip's Voyage. Compiled from the official papers; including the journals of Governors Phillip and King, and of Lieut. Ball; and the voyages from the first sailing of the Sirius in 1787, to the return of that ship's company to England in 1792.

First edition. Ferguson 152; Wantrup 13. *Contains the earliest pictorial representation of the town of Sydney: the View of the Settlement on Sydney Cove, Port Jackson 20th August, 1788 opposite page 77. Hunter's journal was published shortly before he was commissioned as Governor of New South Wales, and he returned to the colony to assume office in September 1795. The plate of an aboriginal family opposite page 414 was engraved by William Blake, after a sketch by Philip Gidley King. The title page in this copy is well proportioned, with title and date complete (in many copies, the title page is shaved, affecting either the first word of the title or (more often), the date at the foot of the page). Thomas Philip Robinson, 2nd Earl de Grey (1781-1859), was first Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire (1818 to 1859) and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1841 to 1844). The list of subscribers to this volume includes another Thomas Robinson, presumably Thomas Philip Robinson's father. That Thomas Robinson, the second Baron Grantham (1738-1786), served as Foreign Secretary between 1782 and 1783.

Octavo; hardcover, half-bound in calf with marbled boards, with gilt spine titles on red morocco labels between five raised bands decorated in gilt; 538pp. [2 Blank + xxivpp. + 17-525pp. + 1p. (advert) + 2 Blank], on laid paper with marbled edges, with a monochrome engraved portrait frontispiece, an illustrated title page ("Captain Hunter offering fish to an Aboriginal Woman"), a folding chart of New South Wales and a folding plate likewise. Moderate wear; boards and edges rubbed; joints scraped; crackling to the spine leather; spine head lightly pulled; light scattered foxing and mild offset throughout; some toning to the map edges; previous owner's ink inscription to the front pastedown. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Originally published in a quarto format in 1793, a decision was made to release a smaller version of the Journal later in the same year, which was intended "sufficiently [to] gratify the curiosity of those who may not have leisure to peruse, or are not desirous of purchasing, the quarto edition". The second issue required some re-thinking of the original format and the engraved title page was printed slightly too large for the new layout and had to be trimmed before insertion, as is the case here. This condensed version of the original release is far scarcer than the quarto issue and, like the original, contains a plate depicting a group of aborigines - "A Family of New South Wales" - which was engraved by William Blake after a sketch by Governor King. Blake has idealised the features of the figures giving them a dignity absent from King's plain sketch, which is in the collection of the Sydney's Mitchell Library. (Ferguson 153; Wantrup 14a). This copy of the work was previously owned by Sir Joseph Palmer Abbott, the distinguished Australian politician and solicitor.

Occasional foxing. First edition. Desirable. John Hunter's Journal is clearly significant as an early record of the fledgling colony of New South Wales. Hunter 1737-1821 sailed on board the Sirius as second-in-command of the First Fleet under Governor Phillip on the voyage to Botany Bay. He accompanied Phillip on the survey that decided Port Jackson as a preferable site for the first settlement over Botany Bay. At Port Jackson Hunter was employed as a magistrate and surveyor and in 1795 he succeeded Phillip as the second Governor of New South Wales a post he held until he was recalled in 1799. Hunter was in command of the Sirius when she was wrecked off Norfolk Island in 1790. He did however take advantage of his eleven-month sojourn there to conduct a thorough survey of the island ADB 1966 vol. 1 p. 568. Hunter's Journal includes many notable maps and plates including the earliest representation of Sydney in 'View of the Settlement on Sydney Cove Port Jackson 20th August 1788' drawn by E. Dayes after a sketch by Hunter; as well as an engraving of 'A Family of New South Wales' by English poet and artist William Blake after a sketch by Governor King.
