Folio pp ii added general title-page for the parliamentary year 737-756; unbound neat paper spine. <p><p>A crucial landmark in the creation of the Australian Agricultural Company and the first official use of the great company's name. Two months earlier the House of Commons had passed a bill incorporating "The Australian Company of London" which this overrides Ferguson 949.</p> <p>The Australian Agricultural Company or AACo played a huge role in shaping the early Australian economy. From its establishment in 1824 it was responsible for the development and expansion of the Hunter Valley and other regions. Surviving all the rural challenges - including droughts economic depressions and labour shortages - its long-term impact on early Australia was substantial in establishing agriculture as a primary industry and contributing to Australia's economy famously "riding on the sheep's back".</p> <p>AACo continues to be a significant player in today's agricultural sector today as Australia's largest integrated cattle and beef producer owning and operating approximately 7 million hectares of land in Queensland and the Northern Territory. This vast landholding represents roughly 1% of Australia's land mass highlighting the company's substantial presence in the country's agricultural landscape.</p> </p> .

18337535Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode Printers to the King's most Excellent Majesty 1833. 12pp. sm. folio with fine woodcut arms of William IV on front page; disbound an exceptionally crisp virtually spotless copy ideal for display or presentation. 3 Gulielmi IV. Cap. 9; granted royal assent 6 May 1833. This is the Act of Parliament formally incorporating the Seaman's Hospital Society establishing and naming its first governors and prescribing its powers and scope of operations. By way of context its military equivalent the Royal Hospital at Chelsea was founded in 1692. The world's first charitable society for the relief of distressed seamen was established in London in March 1821. Initially it aimed to cater for those in the Port of London 'who at that time were very numerous in the Metropolis' and fittingly for the world's leading maritime nation did not differentiate on nationality or any other grounds other than disability and hardship. The motivating principles seem to have been partly public gratitude in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars in which the Royal Navy in particular had played a fundamental role in achieving victory and partly increased recognition of the helplessness of private seamen and the strength of their cause. The society was supported entirely by donations subscriptions and legacies and by the loan by government of a hospital ship HMS Dreadnought moored at Greenwich. In its first twelve years the society provided relief and support to upwards of twenty-three thousand sick and distressed seamen 'many of whom might otherwise have perished'. With the case clearly made it was time for a more formal and robust body with increased remit and governance; accordingly the Seaman's Hospital Society was given royal assent on 6 May 1833. Its significant extra powers included the rights to possess property receive bequests purchase lands and canvass donations; most important of all it was granted 'perpetual succession'. The original HMS Dreadnought continued in use until 1870 when the Admiralty made available at nominal rent the infirmary at Greenwich where the 'Dreadnought' hospital continues to this day. AN ACT OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE AND WELL-BEING OF SEAMEN IN BRITAIN AND A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH MARITIME HISTORY. VERY SCARCE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
