185480666Adelaide: printed and published at the 'Register' and 'Observer' Office 1854. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide printed and published at the 'Register' and 'Observer' Office 1854. Duodecimo xii 244 42 Directory 36 advertisements pages with the hand-coloured plate featuring nine 'Signals used at the West Terrace Flagstaff'. Flush-cut quarter cloth and printed card covers repeating the title page details on the front with advertisements on the rear; covers rubbed marked and lightly tidemarked with some simple arithmetic on the front cover and front free endpaper; extremities of the covers lightly worn; minimal expert restoration to the foot of the front joint; title written in ink on the spine; minor signs of age and use; essentially a very good copy with the contemporary ownership details of Joseph Grivell 1854 on the flyleaf and indistinctly on the front cover. His name does not appear in the directory suggesting he lived outside Adelaide see below. In the preface dated 10 January 1854 the compiler apologises for the lateness of the appearance of the almanack the delay being 'occasioned by the extreme difficulty in obtaining compositors' - presumably all off to the diggings. He also apologises for the 'total omission of the Country Directory' for various reasons so the 42-page directory covers only Adelaide and suburbs. <p>Most of the balance of the book is given over to the usual statistics regulations and lists of assorted office-bearers. However the farmers' and gardeners' calendar runs to 18 pages and there is a lengthy and important contribution by E.W. Andrews: 'Navigation of the Murray. Being extracts from a journal kept on board the "Lady Augusta" during Captain Cadell's exploratory voyage from the Goolwa to Ganawarra' 51 pages. Fellow-passengers James Allen and Arthur Kinloch published their independent accounts of this pioneering trip in book form in late 1853. In any event Andrews' account was reasonably hot off the press; his last journal entry was dated 15 October 1853 less than three months before this almanack delayed in publication appeared.

1846139553Adelaide: 'Printed and published for Government by George Dehane' 1846. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide 'Printed and published for Government by George Dehane' 1846. Octavo ii 15 pages. Later green binder's cloth lettered in black along the spine; title leaf a little marked with a light abrasion near the gutter; a few minor spots and marks; a very good copy. Heinrich Edward August Meyer was a Lutheran missionary who arrived in Australia in 1840 and spent just over two years living with the Raminyeri tribe of the Encounter Bay area before publishing in 1843 'the first grammar and vocabulary on Ngarrindjeri "Vocabulary of the Language spoken by the Aborigines of the Encounter Bay Tribe South Australia". He lived at Encounter Bay until 1848 . Meyer was part of an Adelaide-based community of missionaries from the Dresden Missionary School which placed great emphasis on learning the language because it believed in the importance of communicating with the Aboriginal people in their own language . He also had continuing contact with other missionaries who were also involved in writing grammars such as Clamor Schurmann who had published a grammar of Kaurna the language to the North of Ngarrindjeri just before Meyer's arrival. This background as well as the assertion in his introduction to the 1843 grammar that the whole publication had been twice reviewed with different natives so that the meaning assigned to the words may be relied upon as correct . has resulted in a text that is considered to be a reliable reflection of the language at the time and a good grammar for its time' Corinne Bannister: 'A Longitudinal Study of Ngarrindjeri' online. <p>In this short but closely printed pamphlet Meyer in 'giving an account of these people . endeavours to trace the life of one from his birth upwards'. His extended period of living with the Encounter Bay people in these early years of white settlement adds authenticity to his detailed account of subjects such as hunting sorcery and burial customs. <p>Ferguson 4348; see also Ferguson 13095 WOODS J.D. editor: The Native Tribes of South Australia Adelaide Wigg 1879 which reprints this item; Greenway 6696.

The Duke is pictured with Lord Richard Nevill private secretary to the Governor of South Australia. Buckland Park is a pastoral property near Port Gawler South Australia. George Frederick Ernest Albert The Duke of Cornwall and York and later King George V 1865-1936 was the second eldest son of King Edward VII who ascended the throne on Queen Victoria's death in January 1901. With the first Parliament of Australia set to open in early May the mourning King sent George now next in line to the throne to Australia as his representative. The Duke and his Duchess Mary 1867-1953 left England on 15 March aboard an Orient steamship specially chartered for the voyage. Two days after arriving in Melbourne on 9 May the royal couple drove through streets lined with cheering crowds to the Exhibition Building where the Duke declared the Parliament open before thousands of guests. 'The Duke and Duchess were kept busy with a program ranging from dinner and a University Commencement to the presentation of prizes to public schools. They also managed to visit briefly country Victoria. Nevertheless during their 10-day visit they still managed to fit in a day's shooting. The tour also included visits to other states New Zealand South Africa and Canada' Museums Victoria website. The official party made a short visit to South Australia 10-15 July not least to take up an invitation for another day's shooting . Alice Foster tells the story in the 'Salisbury and District Local History Newsletter' December 2019: 'Mr Leonard Browne the owner of Buckland Park and at the time in England invited the Royal party to a shooting excursion to his property. The Royal party consisted of HRH The Duke of Cornwall Prince Alexander of Teck Lord Wenlock Sir Charles Cust The Hon. Derek-Keppel Commodore Winsloe and Commander Faussett. On 3rd July 1901 a special meeting was held in the Salisbury Institute to make arrangements for welcoming their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall who were to make a short stay on their journey to Buckland Park on Friday 12th July. There was a large attendance and Mr J.P. Swann was elected chairman on the motion of Dr E. Brookes seconded by the Rev. S. Moncrieff. It was decided to form a committee who were empowered to make the necessary arrangements. As Salisbury was the only town in South Australia to be visited by the Royal party there was great enthusiasm from the residents with suggestions for decorating the railway station. An orange arch consisting of branches blossoms and fruit would be formed and extended from the station gate to the spot where his Royal Highness's carriage would stand. The scholars of Salisbury and neighbouring schools would constitute a guard of honour to the Duke. The Royal train left North Terrace station a few minutes after 9 am driven by Mr Thomas Youll and sped swiftly on its way reaching Salisbury at 9.25 am. A crowd of townsfolk had assembled and church choirs and state school children united in singing the national anthem. The Hon. J. Stirling MLC drove His Royal Highness from Salisbury to Buckland Park arriving at 11 am. A good morning's sport was obtained in the swamps near the sea and luncheon was prepared in two marquees. A facsimile of the pigeongram sent by His Royal Highness follows: "We only got about 325 this should read 35 ducks this morning hope to get some peacocks this afternoon. G." . The special train left Salisbury at 6.08 pm and arrived in Adelaide at 6.20 pm' with all on board tired but happy. The game book saw little use with only the first three pages filled in. The first entry is dated 29 January 1898 and there are 20 separate entries in that year. There are ten parties in 1901 one in 1902 two in 1907 and the final one in 1936. However 1901 is the stellar year with numerous old South Australian names manning the guns: these include Baker Belt Hawker Jacob Matheson Phillipson Rounsevell and Stow. The names of the Duke's party are listed in a scribe's hand; only 40 peafowl were added to the aforementioned ducks and the remarks column has nothing remarkable to say 'One hour at ducks in morning only'. A fortnight later Messrs Hawker Phillipson Belt Belt Stow and Matheson had better luck bagging 41 ducks 2 stilts 1 avocet 1 sandpiper and 2 rabbits and reporting it was 'Cold & wet. Birds fairly plentiful but wary of new hides. Meat pies good'. 2 items. hardcover

Nicholas Sanders c.1530-1581 Roman Catholic agent and historian ordained c.1550 exiled in Augsburg in 1566. This work by Sanders "De visibili Monarchia Ecclesiae" first published in 1571 contains the first narrative of the sufferings of the English Roman Catholics. Its extreme Papalism and its strenuous defence of Pius V.'s bull excommunicating and deposing Elizabeth marked out Sanders for the enmity of the English government and he retaliated with lifelong efforts to procure the deposition of Elizabeth and the restoration of Roman Catholicism. His expectations of the cardinalate were disappointed by Pius V.'s death in 1572 and Sanders spent the next few years at Madrid trying to embroil Philip II. who gave him a pension of 300 ducats in open war with Elizabeth." The state of Christendom" he wrote "dependeth upon the stout assailing of England." His writings have been the basis of all Roman Catholic histories of the English Reformation. In this work he is deeply critical of Henry VIII even suggesting that Anne Boleyn was actually Henry VIII's own daughter.
