Brown cloth slightly rubbed; extremities a little rubbed; light wear to the head of the joints and the corners with the bottom two bumped; short repaired tear and a crease to the foot of the title leaf as a result of a production flaw; tears to the large folding map expertly repaired; a very good copy internally barely touched. In this second edition 'a few small inaccuracies are corrected and one or two passages relating to the Jubilee Exhibition it was proposed to hold in Adelaide are omitted . A few illustrations are added in connection with the chapters on the Aborigines and the Fauna'. In fact three plates are deleted from the first edition numbers 18 25 and 46 in that list and ten new plates appear in this edition numbers 2 4 16 27 and 42-47. Plates 42-47 are wood-engraved versions by J. Bruer of plates that first appeared in Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' 1879. <p>There are portraits of Wewat-thaleri and Waldaninyeri in Taplin these were original albumen paper photographs and four illustrations based on original artwork by Aboriginal artists - 'War Dance' by an unknown artist and 'Hunting Scene' 'Hunting Party' and 'Group of Animals' all by Yertabrida Yertebrida Solomon. In Taplin these four plates are lithographs and we suggest that Bruer has based his wood-engravings on the Taplin versions not on the original artwork. <p>The erratum at the foot of the list of illustrations notes that the attribution of 'Hunting Party' to Solomon has been omitted. For more information on this early Aboriginal woman artist refer to our Catalogue 106A. Ferguson 16310 'Two maps in cover pockets'. Government Printer hardcover

As Dr Stirling put it 'Mrs Karpeny related her reminiscences with much dramatic vividness and as they are interesting in themselves I will make no apology for giving them at some length even when they refer to other matters than the immediate object of my inquiry'. The plates include three portraits of Kontinyeri. RSSA paperback
