Rigby on the front free endpaper. 'I was offered some time before leaving South Australia strong inducements to write a history of that virtuous territory which should be palatable to certain classes of a small community; but as I had no high opinion of either the colony or the principles on which it was founded or its subsequent career I could not be the partisan at any price of a locality which I could not conscientiously recommend as a suitable field of emigration for any class of my fellow-country-men' author's preface although he showed the cut of his nib on the title page: 'Castigat ridendo mores'. <p>Indeed nothing is sacred so it is perhaps hardly surprising to learn that 'every copy available was purchased and destroyed by the Angas family' Ferguson 10265 citing a note in the Petherick copy in the National Library of Australia. However in our experience and with the passage of time Petherick appears to have overstated the case. Hall, Virtue and Co hardcover
