1867106101Melbourne: Charlwood and Son Booksellers Stationers and Printers 1867. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Melbourne Charlwood and Son Booksellers Stationers and Printers July 1867. Duodecimo 167 × 108 mm 4 pages plus the wrappers. Original blue title-wrappers with advertising on all three other sides of the covers; a very fine copy. Trove has enabled us to established beyond doubt the date of publication - Saturday 20 July 1867 - according to the advertisements in the 'Argus' on that and the previous day. Ferguson 9927 noting a curious variant with the four text pages numbered 3-6 as per the digitised Petherick copy available online; in our copy they are numbered 1-4. Gill's magnum opus is still pretty funny contemporary political correctness aside; for that reason we'll skip quoting from the first page and a half. By this stage in the timeline responsible government has been achieved but the Battle of Eureka has yet to be fought thus between January 1851 and December 1854. Here the author 'will pass over a lapse of years during which nothing of any importance occurred - except the introduction of meat or fruit pies all hot and the unlimited consumption of two ales - and come to the period when Charles I. surnamed Hotham ascended the throne'. Accompanying the item is a photocopy of a four-page manuscript key to personalities and events alluded to in the screed; this is originally written signed and presumably compiled by Edward Edgar Pescott 1872-1954 horticulturalist naturalist author bibliographer and book-collector of some consequence.

1880157305London: John Murray 1880. Deluxe presentation copy inscribed to the author's sister and ardent supporter Rare publisher's deluxe edition presentation copy of this classic travel narrative touchingly inscribed on the first blank of volume one "Fanny Gill with the best love of her brother William Gill". In 1883 following Gill's premature death in Sinai Frances "Fanny" Gill 1842-1930 was the driving force behind the creation of the RGS's Gill medal and John Murray's publication of a condensed memorial edition of the text. Captain William Gill 1843-1882 who served with the Royal Engineers between 1864 and 1876 was inspired to explore the relatively unknown Chinese hinterland by the earlier travels of Thomas Blakiston and Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen. In July 1876 Gill visited Berlin to consult with von Richthofen about preparations for the journey and then set sail for Asia. After several months spent visiting Peking Shanghai Chengde Jehol and the sea terminus of the Great Wall he began his expedition in 1877 following the Yangtze to the city of Chongqing in the company of Evelyn Colborne Baber. In Sichuan province he ventured into the remote Min mountains - becoming the first European to explore the region - and then undertook a four-month journey westwards with William Mesny to Yunnan and Tibet following the course of the Jinsha "Golden Sand" river the name given to the upper stretches of the Yangtze. "From Tachienlu Dajianlu 8340 feet he ascended to the summit level of the great Tibetan plateau continuing his journey by Litang 18280 feet to Batang 8546 feet in a tributary valley of the Kinsha; and then crossing that river he turned south travelling parallel to the river to Talifu Dalifu the western capital of Yunnan" ODNB. The scientific results from Gill's epic expedition were first made public in 1878 in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society with Gill awarded the RGS's gold medal the following year and the gold medal of the Paris Geographical Society in 1880. Fittingly Murray's 1883 condensed edition was edited by his fellow traveller Baber by now Chinese Secretary at the British Legation in Peking. While the number of deluxe copies of the first edition is unknown we have traced only one other example which appeared at Sotheby's in 1989 and again in 2014. 2 vols octavo. Engraved frontispieces 2 folding plates including colour illustration not called for after the original brass memorial plaque to Gill Professor Edward Palmer and Lieutenant Harold Charrington installed in the Nelson Chamber in the crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral 8 folding maps linen-backed general map of China showing author's route unfolding to 450 x 452 mm in rear pocket of vol.

Flush-cut card lettered in gilt on the front cover a little foxed and nicked with a chip to the foot of the spine; a very good copy. Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher at the time Director for Technical Art. 'In 1892 he was appointed honorary curator of the art gallery and following the resignation in December of Louis Tannert as master of the school of painting Gill assumed control of all the board's art teaching activities. His growing authority in art matters his self-confidence and abrasive manner and his attitude toward other art schools led to criticism. Critics found Gill a vain man who controlled lucrative and influential art offices and who disdained the democratic brotherhood of art. His supporters admitted that he could be uncompliant and disagreeable but said that he had worked hard was a good judge of the monetary value of pictures saved the board expense and was a courageous and incorruptible curator. He supported and reorganized the South Australian Society of Arts and was its first president elected from the fellows 1909-11' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'; this entry contains one of the few errors we have noted in the ADB - the title of this book is given as 'The Straight and Crooked Paths of Studentship'.
