Browne 1879' on the front flyleaf. 'In 1844-45 he went as medical officer with Charles Sturt's expedition into Central Australia. Unusually observant and intensely practical he was probably the most useful member of the party and although he suffered like the others from scurvy his courage and professional skill certainly brought Sturt back alive' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The later armorial bookplate of James Angas Johnson 1841-1902 accountant pastoralist and a grandson of George Fife Angas is mounted on the front pastedown. The marginal annotation in pencil on page 212 alongside text relating to body painting of the 'Port Lincoln Tribe' may be in his hand: 'The White paint is Gypsum the Black is the Black Oxide of Manganese the Red is Hematite viz Red Iron ore'.

1879144282Adelaide: E.S. Wigg & Son 1879. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E.S. Wigg & Son 1879 first thus. Octavo xliv 316 pages plus 8 tinted lithographs with tissue-guards. Full russet morocco extensively tooled in gilt; all edges gilt; spine lightly sunned; joints slightly cracked but firm; a few minor signs of age and handling internally; overall in excellent condition. The handsome colonial presentation binding has the ticket 'Bound at Government Printing Office Adelaide S.A.' on the rear pastedown; it was almost certainly executed by Emanuel Spiller the South Australian Government Printer at the time. An early binder's blank contains the inscription 'The South Australian Institute to Dr. Francis Reuleaux; Privy Councillor and Royal Professor; Chief Commissioner for the Empire of Germany at the Melbourne International Exhibition. Adelaide 1881'. Franz Reuleaux 1829-1905 was an influential German mechanical engineer who oversaw German machinery exhibits at the Sydney and Melbourne exhibitions 1879-81. He is best known as the father of modern kinematics. His armorial bookplate with manuscript inventory number is mounted opposite the inscription. <p>Spiller's name appears as exhibitor and jury-member of competitions and exhibitions of binding and printing throughout the 1880s. The 'Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser' for 27 March 1880 carries a lengthy article by John Plummer on colonial bookbindings displayed at the Sydney International Exhibition noting that '. in the South Australian Court Mr. E. Spiller the Government printer of Adelaide occupies the foremost rank'. <p>The book itself is an important early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and lengthy 34-page introduction by Woods were new to this edition.
