1843133575London: Printed by J.C. Hailes 1843. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Printed by J.C. Hailes 1843. Octavo 30 9 pages plus a folding map 'Plan of part of South Australia 1843' 216 × 171 mm and 2 folding survey plans 'Plan of the Two Special Surveys on the River Light 1843' 341 × 185 mm and 'Plan of the Special Survey on the River Murray 1843' 245 × 193 mm. Original blind-stamped cloth lettered in gilt on the front panel with the title later added in white ink along the spine; cloth a little sunned on the spine with light wear to the extremities; endpaper hinges cracked; residual paste along a strip at the top of the front free endpaper; occasional trifling spots of foxing; maps a little offset; nevertheless an excellent copy of an extremely rare publication relating to the early land surveys in South Australia. The first section comprises a 'Statement of the Proceedings of the Directors for the Information of the Proprietors' with the final unpaginated section consisting of a statement of accounts for the surveys of the River Light and the River Murray. This copy has the ownership signature dated 1855 of London corn factor John Burrows and contains noteworthy annotations and additional manuscript material relating to his family's land speculations in South Australia and New Zealand. John has neatly annotated both of the survey plans with details of the selections on the River Light and the River Murray owned by him and his mother Jane. These appear to have been inherited from his father Thomas and subsequently expanded in the 1860s. The rear endpapers contain detailed notes in another hand summarising the family's colonial landholdings and giving details of their agents in Adelaide and Wellington we suggest in the 1870s. A clipping from another document mounted on the rear pastedown gives similar information. Additional material comprises: <p>1. An autograph letter addressed to John Burrows from his Adelaide agent James Walsh dated 1872 regarding the lease of two blocks in the abortive township of Victoria 85 km north of Adelaide octavo; 2 pages of a bifolium affixed with sealing wax to the verso of the final page. The meagre rents received are demonstrative of Victoria's failure it is located approximately 12 km north of Kapunda and was soon eclipsed by that town after the discovery there of copper ore in 1842. A leaf from a later letter is similarly mounted inside the bifolium. <p>2. A loosely-inserted autograph letter addressed to Thomas Burrows from his agent Daniel Riddiford in Wellington dated 24 January 1841 regarding his selections in New Zealand quarto 1 page of a bifolium folded to form the cover stamped 'Ship Letter"; complete with the address panel postmark and wax seal. Riddiford was himself a pioneering runholder in Wairarapa and Hutt River. <p>3. A manuscript document outlining lands on the River Light and River Murray owned by C.J. Heath another absentee landowner and corn factor. We are unsure of the nature of his connection to John Burrows but they shared an Adelaide agent Joel Roberts see 'The South Australian Advertiser' for 27 May 1873. <p>4. A newspaper clipping with content relevant to the subject of the book with its source the South Australian 'Advertiser' 13 June 1878 written in ink in the margin by James Walsh. <p>Provenance: John Burrows as above; possibly James Walsh see above; later Charles R.J. Glover with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown. Charles Richmond John Glover 1870-1936 the first lord mayor of Adelaide public benefactor businessman and book collector; some 2787 lots of his books were sold by auction over five days in late 1970 and we know from long and unhappy experience that he is responsible for the lettering in white ink on the spine. His bookplate is mounted in the bottom left-hand corner of the front pastedown and the top right-hand corner of the plate was not glued down as it partially covers an earlier coat of arms possibly hand-drawn in black ink. It features Britannia extending a hand in greeting to an Indigenous man holding a spear with a rocky cliff and a kangaroo in the background. This image is based on the design of the emblem used on the South Australian flag between 1876 and 1904. <p>Ferguson 3706 citing a lengthy 1934 William Dawson and Sons Limited catalogue record for this particular copy.

Great Britain and Ireland Parliamentary Paper Number 223 of 1840. The full title runs to 23 lines enumerating ten separate returns. 'Contains valuable information with respect to many South Australian subjects' Ferguson but the perennial value of this paper is the headline one which runs to eleven pages. Its complete title is 'A Return of the Quantity of Land in South Australia sold by the Colonization Commissioners since the 5th day of May 1835:- Of the Amount of Money paid for the same in London and the Names of the Purchasers:- Of the Amount of Money paid to Agents in England and Scotland as Commission on Sales effected through their Agency specifying the Name of the Agent and the Name of the Purchaser on whose Purchase Commission has been charged'. Ferguson 3002. Provenance: the signature 'C.A.S. Hawker' is written in pencil at the head of the first page. Charles Allan Seymour Hawker 1894-1938 politician and pastoralist: his grandfather George Charles Hawker arrived in Adelaide with his brother Charles in September 1840. They settled on land at Bungaree near Clare in December 1841; C.A.S. Hawker he was born there. He was seriously wounded on several occasions at the Western Front losing one eye and 'his legs were in surgical irons to the end of his life'. He was a minister in the Lyons Government from 1932 until he 'was killed on 25 October 1938 when the aircraft "Kyeema" crashed into Mount Dandenong in Victoria. His untimely death was sharply felt. He had been an outstanding and respected figure in the Federal parliament whom some of his own party would have supported as prime minister.

190684574Adelaide 1906. Fair. Adelaide 1906 facsimile of Number 1 1878 facsimile of Number 2 and 1837 to 1840. Tabloid approximately 128 issues each generally 4 to 6 pages but Number 10 lacks the last leaf. Unbound as published more than half of them or disbound with some inner marginal blemishes; marginal stains to a few early issues; occasional signs of use and age; the first issue on acidic paper discoloured and brittle; overall in decent condition. The original first number was published in London the second one in Adelaide almost a year later.

184380073London: J.C. Hailes and S. Gilbert 1843. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London J.C. Hailes and S. Gilbert 1843. Octavo 32 pages plus a small folding map 205 × 156 mm an engraving of Adelaide and 2 full-page lithographs: 'Farm of J. Barton Hack . Echiunga sic Springs Mount Barker' and two portraits on the one plate of Kertamaroo King John and Mogata his wife. Later half calf and cloth retaining the original pale yellow front wrapper lettered 'South Australia in 1842' and with numerous binder's blanks at the rear to make a more substantial object; covers slightly rubbed at the extremities and high spots; wrapper lightly stained and creased with the leading edge neatly reinforced presumably when the binding was done; first and last leaves lightly foxed with the last one lightly marked; trifling signs of handling; a very good copy. This copy contains the armorial bookplate of Henry Percival Moore and his pencilled ownership initials on an early binder's blank. Moore was the Colonial Manager for the South Australian Company from 1901 to 1929. Interestingly the lithographs are by George French Angas from the artwork of others 'a sketch by Col. Gawler' in the first instance and from drawings 'Model'd from life by Mrs Walker - cropped to Walk' in the second. There are some extracts from official reports and various statistics up to August 1842 but the book is comprised predominantly of first-hand accounts often in the form of lengthy quotes from letters from settlers. The passage of time puts things into perspective. There is a PS to Alexander Lorimer's letter: 'I have neglected to mention that vineyards are forming by many of the settlers'. The closely-printed two pages on Aborigines concludes with this paragraph: 'It is hoped that a conviction of the deep responsibility which we have incurred toward the aboriginal inhabitants of that beautiful country of which we have taken possession will render the minuteness of the preceding information not unacceptable'. Ferguson 3721 not mentioning Angas nor identifying the author. Susan Woodburn has recently alerted us to a paragraph in the 'Adelaide Observer' of 1 July 1843: 'The "South Australian News" of January last announces the publication of a pamphlet to be entitled "South Australia in 1842" not by "One who is going" but by "One who lived there four years". We understand it will contain a full true and particular account of the Colony and be embellished with views of Adelaide Mr Hack's Farm and the portraits of two natives King John and his wife. We suspect our friend David McLaren to be the author of the pamphlet'. David McLaren 1785-1850 arrived at Kingscote Kangaroo Island in April 1837 as the second colonial manager of the South Australian Company. He left Adelaide on his return to London in January 1841 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. J.C. Hailes and S. Gilbert hardcover

Early binder's cloth recently rebacked retaining the top two-thirds of the original spine; cloth marked and mottled with some neat restoration to the corners; edges a little marked; very light tidemarks to the leading edge of the front flyleaf and an initial blank; leading edge of the first few leaves of Number 22 slightly chipped; bottom left-hand corner piece missing from the last leaf with the loss of about 15 words of text and a small amount of the colophon which is the same in each issue; overall an excellent run of the first 22 issues of this very rare weekly newspaper which ceased publication with Volume 1 Number 29 on Tuesday September 22 1840. The prospectus appears on pages 7 and 8 of the first issue; the proprietors' object is 'not mercenary but patriotic . they are not the organs of any party . they will offer a fearless and uncompromising opposition to every deviation from the self-supporting principle on which South Australia is founded'. Their aim in part 'is to present an impartial record of the colonial intelligence . 1st from the colonial papers; 2ndly from direct correspondents in the colony and other exclusive sources'. Accordingly it contains much original material. The editor was John Stephens 1806-1850; 'about 1838 George Fife Angas employed him to write emigration propaganda. Stephens's first notable work was "The Land of Promise" republished in 1839 as "The History of the Rise and Progress of the New British Province of South Australia". In that year his exposure of absurdities in T. Horton James "Six Months in South Australia" London 1839 ran to three editions. He also edited the "South Australian Colonist" on which Angas lost heavily; it was replaced in 1841 by the monthly "South Australian News" at a cheaper rate' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. The ownership signature of Robert Kyffin Thomas is pencilled onto the front flyleaf and the blindstamp of the 'Register & Observer Office Adelaide' appears on an early blank leaf. Sir Robert Kyffin Thomas 1851-1910 the grandson of Robert Thomas who arrived on the 'Africaine' at Holdfast Bay in 1836 with a printing press was himself an influential newspaperman in the state. 'In 1877 he became the principal joint proprietor of the "South Australian Register" and as chief of staff he also edited the "Adelaide Observer". A parliamentary reporter he was in charge of the Hansard branch until 1882 when he became general manager of the "South Australian Register" which became the "Register" in 1901' ADB. Ferguson 3082.
