London; J. Debrett; ***Ferguson 144; Wantrup 12. This is the public reprinting of the House of Commons Paper published two months earlier, together with the extremely rare Extracts of Letters, &c from Governor Phillip, relating to New South Wales. Ordered to be printed 21st May 1792 (Ferguson 143). The latter is reprinted at Pp of the present work and deals particularly with agriculture and land cultivation. These are invaluable documents on the progress of the fledgling settlement during 1790, especially the letters from Phillip, King, Paterson and other colonial officers. Even the lists of clothing and other articles requested and sent out are immensely interesting for the light they shed on the needs and problems of the colony. A foundation work of paramount importance, very seldom offered for sale. #21798 A$38,500.00

Volumes I and IX in Series I are the 1971 reprints (as usual); the remainder are all the original printings. THIS COLLECTION IS AN INDISPENSABLE REFERENCE FOR THE SERIOUS STUDENT OF AUSTRALIAN HISTORY. It has been fully collated in detail, and is quite complete and in good order, but for the following trifling faults to Series I & III: In Series I, Volume II has the margins to the Introduction trimmed rather close with the slight loss of the ends of lines on two pages; Volume VI has one 16-page section repeated with nothing omitted; Volume IX has 16 pages offset with slight loss of clarity, but still quite legible; Volume XIII has half-title & title-page slightly creased; Volume XIV has an original paper flaw to pp. 227/8 with loss of a few letters; in Series III, Volume II lacks pp. xvii-xxiv but these pages are supplied in good facsimile, as are copies of the few slightly defective pages to Series I mentioned above. These sets are probably rarely collated and few sets are likely to be absolutely without fault, but as stated above this set has been checked in detail and the few defects made good.
