188080145Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. Octavo 55 pages. Original flush-cut quarter cloth and card covers with the title page details repeated on the front cover; cloth a little flecked and slightly sunned and rubbed; card a little tanned mottled and lightly marked; minimal signs of age and use; an excellent copy. At the time of publication the author was Chief Warden of the Goldfields of the Northern Territory. 'This pamphlet is published by permission of the Government of South Australia; but it is only proper to state that the recommendations herein made especially with reference to the formation of a railway have not yet been considered by the Ministry and must therefore be only regarded as the individual views of the author. A portion of the matter in the following pages was compiled by me' for Harcus's 'South Australia' published in 1876; it 'incorporated some useful papers written by residents there'. <p>That book also contained an important chapter on Central Australia incorporated here with additional material. To quote Harcus: 'the following interesting and well-written account of Central Australia along the line of telegraph has appeared in the "Register". The writer Mr J.A. Giles is well acquainted with the whole of the country which he describes. It is the best and most trust-worthy account of Central Australia which has yet been published'. Knight remarks that it 'affords an excellent insight into the vast tract of country'. The article takes up most of the 17-page chapter; it refers on occasion and thus eliminates any misattribution to Alfred Giles the explorer with strong telegraph line credentials. It is augmented with a page of quotations from Charles Winnecke's 1879 Herbert River expedition reports. Ferguson 11231 pretty light on detail even to the extent of not recording the binding. E.

In 1885-86 he took seven men and twelve camels from Hergott Springs to the Gulf of Carpentaria tracing the Finke River to its mouth and seeking information about Ludwig Leichhardt. Lindsay surveyed the country between the overland telegraph line and the Queensland border explored the MacDonnell Ranges made a brief foray into the Simpson Desert and spent six months in the country between Lake Nash and Powell's Creek'. <p>This account first appeared in the Proceedings of the RGSSA Volume 2 Third Session 1887-8; the title-wrappers and pagination are new to this separate issue.

'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.
