He was the author of several biographies, wrote a popular survey of French literature, and was known for his limericks and didactic verse, one of which, "How to Treat Elves", has the final quatrain: "It gives me sharp and shooting pains / To listen to such drool / I lifted up my foot and squashed / The God damn little fool."

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. London, C. Dolman, 1839. Octavo, [ii] (title leaf to Volume VI), 449-466 pages. Full green morocco, bordered and lettered in gilt, by Sangorski & Sutcliffe; expertly sealed tear to the inner margin of the title leaf; in fine condition. The reviewer (well-informed but facetious in the extreme) engages almost entirely with James's book, and shares some of his reservations about the planning and organisation of the fledgling colony of South Australia. He concludes: 'Mr James's book exposes all that is evil in the management of the experiment of colonizing on the new plan . and, in order that both sides may be heard, the reader may consult Mr Stephens's hypercritical and somewhat captious reply'.…

FIRST EDITION, 8vo, pp. vi, [ii], 207, [7], 211-295, [5, ads] + folding frontispiece map and 1 single-page map. Original green textured cloth, front board lettered in gilt. Toned and soiled, a few edge-tears to early leaves and frontispiece. Binding somewhat shaken, cloth rubbed and soiled, front joint worn in places. Ownership inscriptions to flyleaf, including ?Donald M Lachlan? and ?Elswith Hall? Not a beautiful copy, but a scarce work. The text includes an unpaginated ?Postscript? after p.207 which describes Edward John Eyre?s overland expedition to Adelaide, including the naming of Lake Hindmarsh, and the ?gardening calendar? is probably the first printed gardening guide for South Australia.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. London, J. Cross, 1838. Octavo, vi, [ii] (errata, verso blank), 208, [4] (Postscript), 209-296 (last page blank), [4] (publisher's advertisements) pages plus a small (one page) plan of Victor Harbor and a folding frontispiece map of the Port Lincoln district (201 × 243 mm); both maps are dated January 1839. Later green morocco (by Sangorski & Sutcliffe); spine gilt in compartments; sides bordered in gilt; top edge gilt; paper a little tanned; scattered foxing (generally faint) and a few small marks; small chips or tears to the blank margins of a handful of leaves; two tiny tears to the map; occasional light pencil emphases and annotations; a very good copy. The early pencilled annotations shed light on the bitter divisions in public opinion during the turbulent early years of British settlement in South Australia. One of them, initialled R.B., mentions the possibility of abolishing the system of Colonization Commissioners, suggesting that the annotator was an early settler writing prior to the South Australia Act of 1842, which established the province as a Crown colony. In the early chapters James takes the side of Governor Hindmarsh, and criticises the site chosen for the city of Adelaide and other decisions relating to land and planning taken by the Colonization Commissioners. The annotator is firmly in the other camp. Many of his notes are interjections of disagreement ('bah!' and 'psha!' are favourites); several are more substantial. The unnumbered four-page postscript after page 208 provides a summary of Adelaide newspapers 'received up to the 14th July'; in it, mention is made of Eyre's overlanding expedition from Port Phillip to Adelaide in 1838, during which he discovered and named Lake Hindmarsh. In the lengthy appendix, James 'prints the journals of several private expeditions undertaken in the early years of settlement, including an account of Hawdon's famous overlanding expedition as well as other expeditions to Encounter Bay, Lake Alexandrina and to the River Murray' (Wantrup). The 30-page 'Manual of Gardening', almost certainly compiled by the author, is engagingly specific: 'those lofty whirlwinds, so peculiar to the Plains of Cowandilla'; 'this province must become, some day or other, a wine country', and then refers the reader to Busby; 'January is very hot, need to water night and morning'. Crittenden speaks very highly of this work: 'Part of this book contains a monthly gardening calendar. This can probably be regarded as the first gardening guide for South Australia . [published] only three years after Shepherd's "Horticulture of New South Wales"', the first separate gardening book published in Australia. Ferguson 2525 (not the small map or the four-page 'Postscript'); McLaren 10400 (basically copying Ferguson); Crittenden 10; Wantrup 153 (noting the 'Postscript' may not be present in every copy).…
