15 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 58 2012. and bibliographical information on this work are hard to come by, however we believe this set to be quite complete. The first two volumes were first published in 1698 (see Sabin 18381). These volumes did not contain the second part of the present Volume II (Traite des Ventes - see Sabin 18384) and Sabin (in his 18381) refers to a second edition of the two volumes in the same year (1698) presumably of similar configuration to the first. Sabin also refers to a third volume ( Suplement...) and a fourth ( Voyage... aux Terres Australes ) both published in MDCCXI (1711), but these are clearly reprints of the volumes here present (1701 and 1705 respectively). Part II to the present Volume II, with its separate title-page, is the first appearance in French of the Treatise on the Winds and clearly was intended to be bound with Part I (as indicated by the catchword on the last page of adverts. to Part I). Sabin s 18382 refers to several editions in a rather confused and unsatisfactory manner, which may in effect include the present collection. In summary this is a fine set of the first complete edition in French, volumes III, IV and V being the first editions in French, and Volumes I and II being the first complete (augmented) editions; a rare and desirable collection, seldom encountered. #26377 A$13,500.00

An enigmatic American who sailed with Cook, Matra (who changed his name from Magra) was the first (in 1771) to have published a major book on the Endeavour voyage, and strove to found a colony in New South Wales for dispossessed American loyalists, only to end his days as Consul at Tangier. #48600 A$65.00

23 Gaston Renard Fine and Rare Books Short List Number 58 2012. The plates and chart were all engraved by S. I. Neele, 352 Strand and it seems that the work was not in fact published until 1804 as while the coloured plate of the Crested Cockatoo and the plate of the Lady Nelson in the Thames are dated July 1st, 1803 and the chart is dated Dec. 27th 1803, the remaining plates (except that of the sliding keels which is undated) are all dated Jan. 10th 1804. Never having been rebound, this copy has the plates all together, before the main text, with the result that the fine coloured plate of the Crested Cockatoo which almost invariably has the text offset across it, is here unmarked and in its original glory. The Lady Nelson was originally sent out for Matthew Flinders use on his circumnavigation of Australia, however he had left the colony by the time she arrived. The voyage included the first navigation of Bass Strait from West to East. The Lady Nelson was an experimental vessel, and her performance was of considerable interest to nautical science. Grant was given commmand rather than the designer Captain Schanck, as it was thought that the experiment would be given a fairer trial. The sliding keels did not, however, make the impact expected in spite of the advantage they presented for surveying in shallow waters. #21808 A$17,500.00

This is the second issue of this work, as usually found, with the cancel title-pages. A very few copies were issued with the date 1826; these are of the greatest rarity. The work is of great importance: Phillip Parker King (the son of Governor Philip Gidley King) was born at Norfolk Island, and became one of Britain s leading hydrographers. His work considerably furthered the geographical knowledge of the Australian coasts. His charts were very accurate and his extensions and additions to those of Flinders on the Northern and Western coasts of Australia were for many years in practical use by the Admiralty (well into the twentieth century). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1824. #43380 A$6500.00

The new colony is proposed for the area between 132 degrees and 141 degrees East on the south coast of Australia, together with the Islands on the coast and the work includes a brief historical account of Flinders explorations followed by a detailed survey of the configuration and productive capacity of the country taken from information provided by Flinders, Baudin and King, together with reasoned speculations on the possibility of exports of various commodities from the proposed settlement, with comparisons of the situation at Hobart Town, Sydney, the failed settlement at Swan River and various places even further afield such as Virginia.

Captain Sutherland has been engaged for many years in the trade between England and New Holland, and lately commanded the ship Lang. He is now in London. Oct. 4th, 1831.
