***Limited Edition of 100 copies within a total edition of 200 numbered copies, and now first published since about 1810. All the original editions are of great rarity. No copies of the 2nd or 3rd editions have been recorded and the first (Southampton, 1803) edition is extremely rare, while the 4th (Oxford, 1806), 5th (London, 1809), 5th (i.e. 6th, Cork, undated), and 6th (i.e. 7th, Dublin, also undated), editions are all very rare. The work is of considerable importance as one of the few accounts of Hunter’s period as Governor. Hunter was dissatisfied with Bond’s behaviour in the colony and complained of him in dispatches. Hunter was instructed to return him to England and Bond left the colony under a cloud in 1800, but his narrative was evidently very popular. He gives an account of the operation of the convict system and the economic corruption in the colony, and describes early efforts to encourage free settlers. He includes also comments on the Aborigines and on the natural history of the colony, including much from first-hand experience. See Ferguson 480; Wantrup, pp. 91-3. #15238 A$75.00

***Dictated by Clemens over several years with the stipulation that it not be published until after his death (he originally said until he had been dead “at least a hundred years”!). “As might be expected of anything which Mark Twain wrote, this autobiography is unlike any other ever written--as unconventional and unorthodox as its great author. Always, when the time came for him to go on with the dictation, he chose as his subject whatever was most interesting to him at the moment, regardless of chronological order. For he believed that a man’s thoughts, not his outward acts are his true history, which alone reveal him completely. The resulting book is a stream of table-talk: anecdotes, humorous and serious; reminiscences of his mother, his daughter Susy, his boyhood days in Missouri; chronicles of his friendships with all manner of men, from General Grant and President Cleveland to his Irish coachman and the unfamed intimates of his vagabond youth; bold expressions of opinion on every sort of topic--all are here, full of the vigor and the humanity of their author, and forming an inexhaustible mine of entertainment, amusement, and delight.” --publisher’s blurb. #18963 A$295.00

(Melbourne); The Miegunyah Press, (Melbourne University Press; 1995). ***”The authoritative account of one of the longest and most important surveying cruises of the golden age of world hydrography”. Excellent use is made of the journals of Denham and his officers to create a detailed vision of mid-nineteenth-century surveying and charting techniques. Significant forays were made into botanical and ornithological studies, much of which are detailed here. Its anthropological content clearly illustrates the paradoxical nature of the south-west Pacific at the time of the voyages, where missionary, colonist and the lords of commerce co-existed with the native peoples in an often uneasy alliance. Included is an account of the resettlement of the Pitcairn Islanders on Norfolk Island. This is number 3 in the second Miegunyah Press series; only 1200 copies were printed. #46753 A$95.00
