Very light edge wear foxing to top edge. SIGNED by author on title page. Tracing the origins of a man whose first appearance in known records was his conviction for a minor highway robbery in Devon in 1785- a man of no social standing before his crime and none at all afterwards. Painstaking research shows that John Small and his wife Mary Parker were able to prove themselves of good citizenship and happy family life.

185480666Adelaide: printed and published at the 'Register' and 'Observer' Office 1854. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide printed and published at the 'Register' and 'Observer' Office 1854. Duodecimo xii 244 42 Directory 36 advertisements pages with the hand-coloured plate featuring nine 'Signals used at the West Terrace Flagstaff'. Flush-cut quarter cloth and printed card covers repeating the title page details on the front with advertisements on the rear; covers rubbed marked and lightly tidemarked with some simple arithmetic on the front cover and front free endpaper; extremities of the covers lightly worn; minimal expert restoration to the foot of the front joint; title written in ink on the spine; minor signs of age and use; essentially a very good copy with the contemporary ownership details of Joseph Grivell 1854 on the flyleaf and indistinctly on the front cover. His name does not appear in the directory suggesting he lived outside Adelaide see below. In the preface dated 10 January 1854 the compiler apologises for the lateness of the appearance of the almanack the delay being 'occasioned by the extreme difficulty in obtaining compositors' - presumably all off to the diggings. He also apologises for the 'total omission of the Country Directory' for various reasons so the 42-page directory covers only Adelaide and suburbs. <p>Most of the balance of the book is given over to the usual statistics regulations and lists of assorted office-bearers. However the farmers' and gardeners' calendar runs to 18 pages and there is a lengthy and important contribution by E.W. Andrews: 'Navigation of the Murray. Being extracts from a journal kept on board the "Lady Augusta" during Captain Cadell's exploratory voyage from the Goolwa to Ganawarra' 51 pages. Fellow-passengers James Allen and Arthur Kinloch published their independent accounts of this pioneering trip in book form in late 1853. In any event Andrews' account was reasonably hot off the press; his last journal entry was dated 15 October 1853 less than three months before this almanack delayed in publication appeared.

Octavo 16 pages plus the title-wrappers. Wrappers very lightly marked on the outside of the plain rear panel; essentially a fine copy. This rare pamphlet contains an account of Lindsay's 'Arnheim's Land Explorations in 1883' but it primarily concerns a more recent expedition 'a private one fitted out at my own expense'. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' has the following to say about these series of explorations by David Lindsay: 'In 1883 the South Australian government commissioned him to explore the central and eastern part of Arnheim's Arnhem Land; his party survived fierce attacks by Aborigines one group numbering 300. 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.
