190225076Perth: Wm. Alfred Watson Government Printer 1902. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Perth Wm. Alfred Watson Government Printer 1902. Foolscap folio 62 pages with 4 illustrations plus a very large folding map 625 × 865 mm. Title-wrappers relatively recently bound in half calf and cloth lettered in gilt on the spine; title leaf slightly marked with trifling loss to the bottom corner-tip; minimal signs of age and use; an excellent copy. Western Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 46 of 1902; only 1200 copies were printed. The 'expedition was fitted out to explore the remaining unknown regions of Australia on similar lines to the Elder expedition'. Lawrence Allen Wells third in command on the ill-fated Elder expedition of 1891-92 was leader. The party set out from Mullewa east of Geraldton on 13 June 1896; lack of water and the gruelling conditions brought the official expedition to an end on 6 November at Noonkanbah Station on the Fitzroy River with two men unaccounted for. It was not until late May of the following year that Wells located the bodies of the missing men his cousin Charles Wells and George Lindsay Jones nephew of the explorer David Lindsay. The detailed accounts of the three search expeditions undertaken by Wells accompanied by Nat Buchanan George Keartland and Sub-Inspector Ord respectively are included. Not least strong on contemporary race relations. Wm. Alfred Watson, Government Printer paperback
189820487Adelaide: RSSA 1898. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Adelaide RSSA 1898. Octavo pages 125-192 plus a tipped-in errata slip with several minor references to this article. Wrappers slightly and uniformly tanned acidic paper; a fine copy uncirculated. Keartland's field notes make this far more interesting than the 'List of Birds' title suggests. For example he concludes his account of the Nankeen kestrel thus: 'I took four eggs from a tree near our camp and was surprised to find the nest lined with pellets of camel dung. This is probably the first time this material has been used for nest-lining'. Indeed. <p>Other articles of more-or-less general interest include KOCH Max: A List of Plants collected on Mount Lyndhurst Run 18 pages; BROWNE J. Harris: Use of the Wedge by the Natives of the Great Barrier Plain 1 page; and the address by the president W.L. Cleland 7 pages essentially on the anthropology of Australia. RSSA paperback

198228467<p>Cook Expedition Forster Johann Reinhold. The Resolution Journal of Johann Reinhold Forster 1772-1775. Edited by Michael E. Hoare. Four Volumes complete. London: Hakluyt Society 1982. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine set in Very Good plus dust jackets with gentle wear to the extremities. This four-volume set presents the previously unpublished journal of the principal naturalist on Cook's second voyage. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster J. R. Forster - principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage - was nevertheless recognised by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late 18th century. His journal of the voyage offers many new insights expressed at times in quite unrestrained language into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on the second and the most scientific and the most epic of Cook's voyages. However the circumstances of Forster's career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas. Consequently important works such as this journal which would have established him as the leading comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific have thus far remained obscure and seldom-used manuscripts.</p> Hakluyt Society, hardcover
