Pp. xiv 438 2pp publisher’s advertisements. 8vo. original red cloth blindstamped border gilt vignette to spine. Joints a little worn some rubbing and soiling to cloth.Booksellers label from Melbourne. <br>With a presentation inscription from Mitchell’s sister: ‘From the Author’s sister to Miss Hall with warmest wishes for her welfare’.<br>Between 1831 and 1848 Mitchell made four major expeditions into the Australian interior. Mitchell's final year long expedition sought to solve once and for all the question of the drainage of North-Eastern Australia. He set out in December 1845 with Edmund Kennedy as second in command and proceeded north into tropical Queensland. He had hoped the Barcoo River what he called the Victoria would lead all the way to the Gulf of Carpentaria and thereby provide an overland route between Sydney and Port Essington on the Gulf of Carpentaria. A very good copy with a lovely association.Ferguson 4828 Association copy belonging to the author’s sister and inscribed by her John Murray hardcover
1838173536London: T. & W. Boone 1838. The deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west First edition of this illustrated account by the explorer who opened up the lush pastures of western Victoria to colonial settlement. His three daring expeditions added extensively to knowledge of Australia's inland waterways. This copy is from the collection of Jonathan Wantrup a leading bibliographer of Australiana with his book label on the front pastedowns. Appointed deputy surveyor-general of New South Wales in 1827 Mitchell 1792-1855 arrived in Sydney in September and began a six-year effort to produce a topographical map of the colony. His "Map of the Colony of New South Wales 1834 otherwise known as the 'map of the nineteen counties' has scarcely been equalled anywhere. It was perhaps Mitchell's greatest achievement. He determined too to extend his surveys outside the nineteen counties and though there are other reasons for his exploratory expeditions this was a major factor" ODNB. Mitchell's first expedition begun in late 1831 while his map was still in progress "explored between the Nammoi and the Gwydir and crossed the latter to strike the Barwon but there was no north-west river; all streams were clearly tributaries of the Darling. The murder by Aborigines of two of his party as they were bringing up provisions made a return to the settled colony imperative" ODNB and his party reached Sydney in February 1832. His second expedition undertaken three years later charted the course of the Darling to the point where it turned south establishing the likely region where it met the Murray. "Mitchell's third and most significant journey was undertaken ostensibly to connect the Murray with the Darling but also to explore the Murray and perhaps the country south of it. The expedition left Sydney in March 1836 and moved down the Lachlan. It was impossible to cross to the Darling so Mitchell proceeded to the Murrumbidgee and into the Murray following it down to what was thought to be the Darling junction. He traced the Darling upstream only sufficiently far to satisfy himself that it was in fact that river. Some 30 miles below the Goulburn river junction he turned off south-west. The region he then opened up he named Australia Felix now the western district of Victoria which certainly forms one of the richest tracts in Australia. At the Murray he found the country on the eve of being taken up by graziers and the deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west. This journey which lasted over seven months thus added greatly to the knowledge of a very fertile region of Australia" ODNB.

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> .
