1841104249London: John Richards & Co 1841. 3rd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Richards & Co. 1841 'Third edition revised and corrected to the present time'. Octavo ii title leaf xviii 476 civ appendix and index pages. Early half tan calf and marbled papered boards with a contrasting leather title-label on the spine; covers a little rubbed and scuffed with the head of both joints slightly cracked but firm; endpapers and adjacent leaves offset mainly from the leather turn-ins; minimal scattered light foxing; early marginal emphases in pencil and rarely in ink in particular to the later sections relating to the institutions and processes of government; related annotations on several pages; overall an excellent copy. Western's apparent aim was to demonstrate the superiority of the English constitution over all other forms of government. In that context the parochial provenance of this copy is hard to beat. The ownership signature of 'J.F. Burton Adelaide 1850' appears at the head of the title page and on the front free endpaper without the place-name. The latter is also signed in pencil 'J.H. Fisher' James Hurtle Fisher around which George Fife Angas has written 'Sept 21 1853. Presented by JHF to G.F. Angas'. The full name of George Fife Angas is also written there in pencil in what we recognize as a later secretarial hand indicating in our experience that the book came originally from Angas's library. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia': a lawyer he was appointed first Resident Commissioner of South Australia and arrived in the colony on the 'Buffalo' with the Governor's party. He eventually became a leader of the South Australian Bar 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Angas needs no introduction; suffice to say the provenance takes some beating. We know little about Burton other than that he was an Adelaide solicitor; he is mentioned as such occasionally in the local newspapers of the day. John Richards & Co hardcover
1891109227London: Hodder and Stoughton 1891. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Hodder and Stoughton 1891. Octavo xii 440 pages plus a etched frontispiece portrait by H. Manesse. Cloth slightly flecked and rubbed; spine lightly sunned and creased; uncut top edge and the leaves adjacent to the boards a little foxed; two tiny punctures near the head of the rear cover; an excellent copy. The background to this biography of George Fife Angas 1789-1879 is not without interest and it is to be gleaned from the entry in the 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' on Henry Hussey 1825-1903 'evangelist millenarian printer and historian . Hussey's printing and publishing encouraged him to literary endeavours and in 1862 his entry in the Gawler Institute competition for a history of South Australia won the prize. To compile this work he had access to government archives and to the private papers of G.F. Angas. Through this introduction and possibly some mutual religious sympathies Hussey became Angas's secretary in 1865. Angas later acquired Hussey's manuscript and with help from the Angas family it was edited in England by Edwin Hodder and published in 1893. Hussey supported Angas's opposition to Roman Catholicism and their propaganda included the distribution of 2000 copies of Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" and the organizing of a successful petition against precedence for prelates. This experience of public debate led Hussey to stand for Encounter Bay in the House of Assembly in 1874 but he incurred the displeasure of some of his religious followers and withdrew before the poll. After Angas died in 1879 Hussey was authorized to gather material for his biography which was also edited by Hodder and published in England in 1891. Hussey's autobiography refers to many diaries and private papers of Angas which do not seem to have survived'. Provenance: Geoffrey Ingleton with the G. & N. Ingleton bookplate and the Ingleton Collection catalogue stamp and number 1436 on the recto of the rear flyleaf. Ferguson 10473 noting an erratum slip. Hodder and Stoughton hardcover
1905131632Adelaide: Vardon & Pritchard 1905. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Vardon & Pritchard 1905. Octavo vi 309 pages plus 14 plates. Gilt-decorated purple cloth; uncut; covers flecked and mottled; spine and a small section of the front cover sunned; leading edge slightly marked; top edge a little foxed; verso of the front flyleaf and recto of the frontispiece slightly foxed; a very good copy. John Howard Angas 1823-1904 was the second son of George Fife Angas. 'In 1841 he entered G.F. Angas & Co. His father's affairs in South Australia were then causing him great financial difficulties. That year he told John that he was to go to the colony to manage his estate. Angas learned German land surveying and mapping to help him in his dealings with his father's German tenants and with the subdivision of his Barossa estate' the full 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' entry is worth reading in any event.
