18394505219London: T. & W. Boone 1839. A little rubbed with map at end of volume 2 in poor condition and with obtrusive tape repairs. Two volumes octavo with lithographed title-pages large folding map repaired and 51 lithographed plates a few folding or coloured and small text illustrations; contemporary half calf with marbled boards. <p><p>Thomas Livingstone Mitchell was appointed to succeed Oxley as Surveyor General of New South Wales in 1828. The first expedition described here was undertaken to establish the veracity of a story spread about the colony by escaped convict George Clarke "The Barber" who claimed to have discovered a large river flowing to the north of Australia known by the Aboriginal name of Kindur. This expedition investigated the Namoi Gwydir and Barwon rivers but failed to prove or disprove the existence of the Kindur.</p> <p>The second and third expeditions were both aimed at fully determining the course of the Darling River extending on Sturt's earlier discoveries. Despite meeting hostilities with local Aboriginal tribes resulting in a retreat to Sydney and dismissing Burke's specific instructions regarding the Darling Mitchell went on to make a discovery of the greatest importance: the rich lands of western Victoria which he named Australia Felix in 1836.</p> <p>As well as being a fine surveyor Mitchell was an accomplished draughtsman and the plates in the book are all after his own drawings.</p> <p>This is the second edition revised and extended from the first publication the previous year. Despite the huge European interest in Australian exploration reflected in the number of titles published in London mid-century only Mitchell's and Sturt's journals would run into second editions.</p> </p> .

I believe from the clipping I received that it has sufficient strength to carry it over the Christmas slump and I hope you will take it up on your return and pound at it. It was nobody's fault that it was not bound and ready to meet orders but it was unfortunate. I believe if you begin and advertise it again now it will run into the 50000. I hope so anyway. I expect soon to be in New York again and between hunting for a country home I will drop in on you and make you sorry you ever heard of In The Fog. My best wishes to you for a Happy New Year. R.H.
