Original full morocco all edges gilt; leather a little rubbed at the extremities with a small glass-ring on the front cover; some foxing throughout; mild signs of age and use including a dried sprig of maidenhair fern loosely inserted at one opening; in very good condition. The front free endpaper is signed by John McDouall Stuart at the foot of the following inscription: 'Presented to me Henry Nathaniel Phillips by John McDouall Stuart on board of the Ship "Indus" on her pasage sic from South Australia to London in 1864'. <p>Written on the verso in another hand is '"Ask and it shall be given you". Matt 7th - 7.v'. The book has the contemporary blindstamp of the Adelaide booksellers W.C. Rigby 53 Hindley St Adelaide on the top corner of the rear free endpaper. We would like to think the book was purchased in Adelaide inscribed with a most apposite Biblical text and given to Stuart prior to his departure from Adelaide in late 1861 on his ultimately successful sixth expedition across the continent and back. However in many ways it was a Pyrrhic victory: 'Ill with scurvy and nearly blind Stuart had to be carried on a stretcher slung between two horses; recovering sufficiently to ride by the time they reached Mount Margaret on 26 November he pushed on with three of the party and arrived in Adelaide on 17 December 1862. On a public holiday on 21 January 1863 crowds lined the streets amid banners strung from buildings. He was awarded £2000 though allowed only the interest from it and his party received £1500 between them. <p>White-haired exhausted and nearly blind Stuart decided to visit his sister in Scotland and sailed in April 1864. He later went to London. His claims for a greater reward from the South Australian government led to another £1000 again with only the interest. His "Explorations in Australia. The Journals of John McDouall Stuart" was edited by W. Hardman and published in 1864. <p>He died of ramolissement and cerebral effusion on 5 June 1866 aged only 50 in London and was buried in the Kensal Green cemetery. He has remained a lonely and independent figure with a fierce pride. His reputation as a heavy drinker has led detractors to minimize his achievements even to the extent of doubting that he reached the Indian Ocean in 1862' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Surprisingly apart from this singularly personal gift from Stuart Henry Nathaniel Phillips has left no other trace of his existence that we can find. George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode hardcover
