EXPERIENCES OF A COLONIST FORTY YEARS AGO; a Journey from Port Phillip to South Australia in 1839 and a Voyage from Port Phillip to Adelaide in 1846. By An Old Hand.

Descripción

Second Enlarged Edition, 8vo, pp (viii), 84, 79, (1), 23, 3 mounted albumen paper photographs, original red blind-stamped decorative cloth, a trifle rubbed and stained, upper hinge weak but an excellent copy of this uncommon book without the plate at p34 as usual. This very uncommon book was first published the previous year with 6 wood engravings (Ferguson incorrectly describing them as photographs). This enlarged edition with the extra VOYAGE FROM PORT PHILLIP TO ADELAIDE IN 1846 is illustrated with photographs of five of the six drawings on which the first edition woodcuts were based. Ferguson does not call for the plate shown in the list of illustrations at page 34. Frequent references to the aborigines. Ferguson 10184; Coles 607: "The missing plate is that of Daeclo Gigantea (the Kookaburra) at page 34 of the first part of the work. There is no evidence of it ever having been present".
