Seconda non comune edizione, in perfette condizioni di conservazione, di questo importante resoconto africano. D'Ollone (1868-1945) fu un celebre ufficiale militare francese.

Pochi anni dopo D'Ollone, guidò anche una missione scientifica in Cina (1906-1909). Fu nominato generale di brigata nel 1919, e si distinse come ufficiale dalle grandi doti durante il primo conflitto mondiale tanto da ottenere la Legion d'Onore francese nel 1933.

Entre 1746 et 1759, labbé Prévost publie l'"Histoire générale des voyages", un ensemble imposant à partir dune compilation anglaise de John Green, "A new general collection of voyages and travels". Prévost fait plus qu'une simple traduction : il harmonise, réajuste, ajoute dautres chroniques de voyageurs et des liens historiques, supprime des passages, fait refaire les cartes et les gravures. Il abandonne au quinzième volume. Dautres prendront sa succession, le vingtième et dernier tome paraissant seulement en 1802. Grand succès auprès de ses contemporains, cette entreprise qui participe de leffort commercial et colonial de la France est également très soutenue par le pouvoir royal.

202912 page TLS describing in great detail the difficulties in setting up a mining operation in New Guinea. The author H. Edward Clayton is attempting to set up an aerial tramway to transport the ore. It is 3 1/2 miles long and passes over very rough country - the difficulty in hauling the cable is palpable. Clearly having been engaged in mining in other parts of the world before he speaks of Papua NG as "the worst country I've struck in getting anything started up" with no facilities the necessity of setting up your own company mess where as in the past "anywhere else a bording sic house keeper will light along and start up a show even if it does a bit of sly grog as well". He blames the "Navigation Act" which he calls "a curse on this country". "We have Dutch and Japanese boats passing within a hundred miles and the only ones allowed to call here are the little island boats of B.P's; the work is too much for them and the result is high fares and feights sic and infrequent service." <br /> <br /> Several other people are mentioned. There is a reference to "Bill Horsburgh" who is the assayer on this mine married with three children one of them was hospitalized for rheumatic fever in Port Moresby. "Bill has changed a good deal- as quiet as can be until he has a few in and the crust cracks." This could be a reference to William Horsburgh born in Queensland and married to Frances Stella Clayton. W.W. Horsburgh was an assayer and worked with the Dubuna and Laloki Mines of the New Guinea Copper Mines until at least 1927. It's possible that the author of the letter is related in some way to Horsburgh's wife. Clayton also asks after a George Osborne. <br /> <br /> We presume that the Laloki Mine is part of the Astrolabe mineral field near Port Moresby a massive copper mine that ran from 1907 to 1926 at the Laloki and Dubuna Mines and transported by light rail and aerial ropeway to a smelter near the Tahira Inlet wharf. Geology & Mining Potential of New Guinea by Wiliamson and Hancock 2005. <br /> <br /> 2 pp 8x10" signed H. Edward Clayton. Old folds very good condition overall. unknown
