Of the journey he writes: 'its not particularly rough but its the speed we are going that makes her roll we are now steaming past Deal at the rate of 19.8. so you can judge the rate we are going . we are ripping as the sailors call it.

193180489Adelaide: 'Printed and Published by the Author' 1931. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide 'Printed and Published by the Author' 1931. Octavo 171 pages with the press mark on the title page. Flush-cut quarter cloth and plain papered boards with the title indistinctly printed along the spine; stitching loose; however it is probably pretty much an as-issued copy of a very indifferent private press production. Inscribed by the author who later released his hand-set and hand-printed items under the imprint of The Horace Walpole Press. Offered together with four other titles from the Press: 'Occasional Verse' by Rogers 1933; 'More Occasional Verse' by Rogers 1935 and 'Selections from Modern French Poetry' and 'Dips into the Classics' both translated by H.E. Ashley and F.E. Rogers. Although the last two mentioned are undated Farmer 'Private Presses and Australia' 1972 gives 1938 as the publication date of 'Selections from Modern French Poetry'. As this book lists all of the titles recorded by Farmer other than 'Memoirs of a Medico' 1941 it seems reasonable to suggest that the six undated titles in Farmer appeared not later than 1938. Of the four extra titles offered here only 'Occasional Verse' is not inscribed and signed by the author. Frederick Edward Rogers 1865-1947 was an English doctor. He recounts in his memoirs that 'In 1923 my health being indifferent my wife and I and two younger daughters set sail for Adelaide South Australia where we joined our second girl who had married a Digger'. 5 items.
