4 [Bland, Dr. William; Editor]. JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY TO PORT PHILLIP, NEW SOUTH WALES, in 1824 and 1825. By W. H. Hovell and H. Hume, Esquires. Second Edition. Sydney: Published by James Tegg. Printed by Henry Bull. 1837. Demy 8vo in fours; pp. viii, 98(last printer’s colophon only); folding engraved “Map of Australia from Moreton Bay to the New Colonies in Australia Felix with the Discoveries of the Recent Expeditions in the interior in 1824-5 and 1835-6 Published by R[aphael] Clint, Sydney”, with the route outlined in red by hand; appendix; full contemporary dark plum roan, nicely panelled in blind & gilt; all edges gilt; unsigned and unticketed but almost certainly by the Sydney binder Kern; (the spine a little faded; lower edge of the map just shaved by the binder); a fine copy; very rare. Sydney; James Tegg; 1837. ***A special presentation binding with stamping in gilt on front board to “Coln. Perceval, C.B. from the Editor Wm. Bland.” Ferguson 2234; Wantrup 110 and page 187 (q.v.). A rare presentation copy of the first published account in book form of the first exploration into the Port Phillip district. The designation on title-page “Second Edition” is considerably misleading as the “First Edition” of 1831 (what Bland describes in his Preface to the present volume as the “first limited impression”) was evidently made up from preliminary printings in very few copies (Bland laments the lack of a supply of paper for its printing) and most of those few copies which have survived are incomplete. It is one of the legendary rarities of Australian exploration with only one or two copies in private hands. The South Australian library issued a facsimile of that “edition” in 1965 (reprinted 1971) — see following item. Hume and Hovell’s exploration was of vast importance


as numerous significant discoveries were made including the Hume (later renamed the Murray), Tumut, Ovens and Goulburn Rivers, the Australian Alps, and vast tracts of fertile and well-watered country. Their reports at last dispelled the notion of Oxley that the land to the south was worthless and paved the way for the exlorations of Sturt and Mitchell which followed. Bland’s work was edited from the journals of Hovell and Hume, neither of whom published accounts of their own until 1855 when Hume, stung into action by press reports which seemed to suggest that Hovell was taking all the credit for their discoveries, first published his “Brief Statement of Facts ....” [with] Bland, William. LETTER FROM THE AUSTRALIAN PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION to C. Buller, Jun., Esq., M.P. in reply to his communication of 31st May, 1840. November, 1840. Sydney: Printed by James Tegg & Co., George Street, opposite the Barrack Gate. First Edition; pp. 18. [bound with] OBJECTIONS TO THE PROJECT OF HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE GIPPS, for Raising a Loan to be secured on the Ordinary Revenue of the Colony; submitted by His Excellency to the Legislative Council of New South Wales, 1841. Sydney: Printed by James Tegg, George Street. 1842. Pp. 20. [bound with] EXPENDITURE OF THE LANDFUND OF NEW SOUTH WALES in the Colony, and Principally on Public Works; as a means of promoting and supporting Immigration. 1842. Sydney: Printed by D. L. Welch, Atlas Office, Charlotte Place, Church Hill. 1842. Pp. 24. Three works in one volume, 8vo, bound in a contemporary colonial binding (unsigned and unticketed but almost certainly by Kern) of dark plum roan, ruled and lettered in gilt, with attractive marbled endpapers;


(spine slightly faded); a fine copy. Sydney; James Tegg [and] D. L. Welch; 1840, 1842, 1842. ***Ferguson 2922, 3364, and 3365. [with] Bland, William. SUPPRESSION OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN WOOL SHIPS, &c., &c., &c. Second Edition. By W. Bland, M.C. Sydney: D. L. Welch, Printer, Atlas Office, George Street, opposite the Post Office. 1845. 8vo, Second Edition; pp. x, [11]-16; 2 fine plates engraved by John Carmichael, North Kent Street, Sydney, and published by W. Bland, 1839; handsomely bound in a contemporary colonial binding (unsigned and unticketed but almost certainly by Kern) of dark plum roan, ruled and lettered in gilt (spine slightly faded); a fine copy. Sydney, D. L. Welch, 1845. ***Author’s presentation copy: stamped in gilt on the front board: “Coln. Perceval C.B. 12th Regiment. From the Inventor”. Ferguson, 3992. Ferguson lists two “First Editions” of 1843 (F. 3572 & 3573), one of six pages royal octavo, (apparently usually without plates), and another which appears similar to the present work, but represented only in the National Library copy, and notes a third edition of 1867 (which, however, he does not list). Clearly an invention of significant importance for a country dependent for its economy on the export of wool. [with] Bland, William. LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR CHARLES AUGUSTUS FITZ ROY, Governor-in-Chief of New South Wales, &c. &c. &c. From William Bland, M.C January 11, 1850. Sydney: Printed by T. Forster, 334, Pitt-street, North. MDCCCL. 8vo, First Edition; pp. 14; bound in a contemporary colonial binding (unsigned and unticketed but almost certainly by Kern) of dark plum roan, ruled and lettered in gilt (spine a little faded); a fine copy. Sydney; T. Forster; 1850. ***Stamped in gilt on the front board: “Coln. Perceval C. B. 12th Regiment”. Ferguson 5289. Bland comments on the financial state of the colony and the remedies proposed in England, such as a reduction of the drain upon the Land Fund from the colony, and revival of Transportation. Together, 6 works in 4 volumes, 8vo. Sydney; James Tegg [and others]; 1837-50. ***Similarly, but not identically bound in contemporary colonial presentation bindings, almost certainly executed for Bland by the Sydney binder Kern, and presented to Lt.-Colonel John Maxwell Perceval. The attribution of the bindings to Kern is based on the survival of similarly bound presentation copies of the Hume and Hovell account which contain Kern’s ticket. Colonel Perceval took up command of the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment in 1854, during which year it arrived at Van Diemen’s Land and served in Australia for six years. He attained the rank of General in 1874. #42475 A$48,000.00

[Etc.] To which is prefixed an Account of the Origin of Sliding Keels, and the Advantages resulting from their Use. 4to, Facsimile Edition; pp. [viii], xxvi, [2](blank), [2](list of encouragers), 200(last 5 blank); large folding plan of the sliding keels, folding chart, 1 coloured & 5 b/w. plates, appendix; original cloth; a nice copy in slightly faded dustwrapper. (Melbourne; Heritage Publications); N.D. [c. 1970]. ***The “Lady Nelson” was originally sent out for Matthew Flinders’ use on his circumnavigation of Australia, and accompanied him when he set off, but her slow sailing meant she was unable to keep up and was forced to turn back when she ran aground off the Queensland coast. 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 command 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. #22372 A$275.00
