186280756London: Hall Virtue 1862. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London Hall Virtue 1862. Octavo viii 167 pages. Original blind-stamped brown cloth lightly marked and a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities with slight wear to the corners; expert restoration to minor wear to the head and foot of the spine; trifling surface damage to the gutter of the rear endpaper; an excellent copy. '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.' Nothing is sacred; 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. Hall, Virtue hardcover

1841104249London: John Richards & Co 1841. 3rd Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London John Richards & Co. 1841 'Third edition revised and corrected to the present time'. Octavo ii title leaf xviii 476 civ appendix and index pages. Early half tan calf and marbled papered boards with a contrasting leather title-label on the spine; covers a little rubbed and scuffed with the head of both joints slightly cracked but firm; endpapers and adjacent leaves offset mainly from the leather turn-ins; minimal scattered light foxing; early marginal emphases in pencil and rarely in ink in particular to the later sections relating to the institutions and processes of government; related annotations on several pages; overall an excellent copy. Western's apparent aim was to demonstrate the superiority of the English constitution over all other forms of government. In that context the parochial provenance of this copy is hard to beat. The ownership signature of 'J.F. Burton Adelaide 1850' appears at the head of the title page and on the front free endpaper without the place-name. The latter is also signed in pencil 'J.H. Fisher' James Hurtle Fisher around which George Fife Angas has written 'Sept 21 1853. Presented by JHF to G.F. Angas'. The full name of George Fife Angas is also written there in pencil in what we recognize as a later secretarial hand indicating in our experience that the book came originally from Angas's library. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia': a lawyer he was appointed first Resident Commissioner of South Australia and arrived in the colony on the 'Buffalo' with the Governor's party. He eventually became a leader of the South Australian Bar 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Angas needs no introduction; suffice to say the provenance takes some beating. We know little about Burton other than that he was an Adelaide solicitor; he is mentioned as such occasionally in the local newspapers of the day. John Richards & Co hardcover

Provenance: John Michael Skipper 1815-1883 artist solicitor and South Australian pioneer with his ownership initials on the engraved title page of the first volume and his signature and most interesting inscription of the front free endpaper of the second volume: 'J M. Skipper from Mrs. Thomas March 14th. 1841' his mother-in-law. <p>Skipper was born in Norwich the son of a solicitor; 'he was intended for the law but was more interested in art in which he was encouraged by his uncle. In 1833 he abandoned his studies to become a midshipman in the East India Co.'s "Sherbourne" bound for Calcutta. On his return deciding to migrate he arranged to be articled to Charles Mann the new South Australian advocate-general and sailed in the "Africaine" arriving at Holdfast Bay on 6 November 1836. He sketched scenes on the voyage and met Frances Amelia eldest daughter of Robert Thomas; he married her on 28 December 1839' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. <p>Accordingly these volumes not only date from the foundation years of British settlement in the colony they also come from two of the first settlers. They are offered together with a copy of 'The Diary and Letters of Mary Thomas 1836-1866. Being a Record of the Early Days of South Australia. Edited by Evan Kyffin Thomas' Adelaide 1925 revised and enlarged third edition/ 1915.

Her husband Robert was the first newspaper publisher in South Australia and important details of the practical difficulties involved in the printing business are included. <p>This is one of 300 unbound copies of the original 1925 edition discovered in the family attic in 1985; the entire cache has now been attractively bound in full reconstituted morocco. It comes in a slipcase with a fine copy of the first edition of a companion family volume 'Maisie. Her Life in her Letters from 1898 to 1902' edited by Joan Kyffin Willington Adelaide 1992.
