NOTE: Ornithologist and artist Gracius Joseph Broinowski ( ) was born in Poland and went to Munich University, arriving in Australia in about He travelled widely around Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, finding work here and there and painting landscapes and scenes of various towns. In 1880, he settled in Sydney and taught painting to private pupils and at colleges, lecturing on art and exhibiting at various showings of the Royal Art Society. His big break came when he was commissioned by the Department of Public Instruction of NSW to supply them with pictures of Australian birds and mammals. These pictures were hung in schools around the state as well as being collated and published as Birds and Mammals of Australia. He went on to publish The Cockatoos and Nestors of Australia and New Zealand in 1888, but his greatest work was completed while farming at Campbelltown, New South Wales between 1887 and The Birds of Australia in six volumes includes 300 illustrations and notes on some 700 species, illustrating the artist s commitment to fauna conservation. $4, BROWN, H.Y.L. and R.

Contents - Vol. I: The Gathering Storm; Vol. II: Their Finest Hour; Vol. III: The Grand Alliance; Vol. IV: The Hinge of Fate; Vol. V: Closing the Ring; Vol. VI: Triumph and Tragedy. By the British prime minister for the years 1940 to 1945, the one who bore the chief responsibility for the war and policy of the British Empire and Commonwealths (p. vii), here offered is the first edition set of Winston Churchill s momentous semi-official six-volume history of World War II (beginning in 1919, immediately following World War I), the stated famous moral of which was, in war: resolution, in defeat: defiance, in victory magnanimity, in peace: goodwill (p. v). Published between 1948 and 1954 in fifteen countries and in eleven languages, it was written with the aid of a team of researchers under Churchill s literary assistant, historian William Deakin. Norman Brook, the cabinet secretary, allowed Churchill s researchers relatively free access to wartime files and in turn Churchill submitted his drafts for vetting by Whitehall (Oxford DNB 2014). Informed as it is by personal experience, he refrains from describing the work as history, rather he terms it a contribution to history which will be of service to the future.

Performed under the Direction of Captains Cook, Clerke, and Gore, In His Majesty s Ships the Resolution and Discovery; in the Years 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779, London: G. Nicol & T. Cadell, volumes. Complete with 24 plates and charts; plus Atlas, complete with 63 plates and charts. Here offered is a good set of the official accounts of Captain James Cook s ( ) momentous three voyages of discovery in the Pacific, which, as Hill notes, did more to clarify the geographical knowledge of the southern hemisphere than all his predecessors together had done (Hill 2004, 358). The primary objective of Cook s first voyage, performed during the years , was to observe the transit of Venus from the island of Tahiti in the South Pacific, thus enabling scientists to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun; the second, unnamed objective was to search for a great southern continent, or Terra Australis. Whilst Cook successfully observed the transit of Venus on 3 June 1769, the great southern continent eluded him. Cook did however survey the North and South Islands of New Zealand, and the east coast of Australia, which he took possession of and named New South Wales. He also established that Australia and New Guinea were indeed separate. In 1772, less than a year after his return to England, Cook set sail once more for the southern latitudes, with a view to permanently settling the question of the existence of a great south land. During the voyage Cook became the first person to cross the Antarctic Circle, on 17 January 1773, coming within but a short distance from the coast of Antarctica. He also charted New Caledonia and Norfolk Island and explored the little-known southern Atlantic, encountering the island of South Georgia, as well as the South Sandwich Islands, and claiming both in the name of the King George III. And, after three years of searching, Cook was at last able to dispel the myth of a great southern landmass. In 1776 Cook embarked at Plymouth for his third and final voyage, this time to the North Pacific, for the purpose of finding a north-west passage, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. During this voyage, Cook encountered the Hawaiian Islands (naming them the Sandwich Islands after the Earl of Sandwich), which he proceeded to chart. He also conducted a thorough survey of the north-west coast of America, from Oregon to Alaska. Alas, his passage further north was barred by ice. Having decided to anchor at Hawaii for the winter, Cook met an unfortunate end at Kealakekua Bay following a dispute with the Hawaiians over a cutter stolen from the Discovery. This set, illustrated by a total of 203 magnificent plates and charts, encompasses the remarkable achievements of one of the great navigators, making it a most important addition to a collection of exploration books on the Pacific. $35, COOK, James.
