Disbound. Zustand: Good. First Edition. large folding mack, 76.5 cm x 56cm. Linen backed, hand coloured. 3 black spots (1-3mm) in the lower half of the map, small hole on a crease on the left hand side of the map. The map shows the tracks of Major Mitchell's expeditions to better survey inland Australia. The map also shows the limits of the colony of New South Wales around Sydney. The settlements of Melbourne and William's Town, founded in 1835, are shown.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Octavo, with 27 lithographed plates; contemporary quarter roan (worn). The rare first edition of Mitchell's first book. Trove locates only the SLNSW and SLV copies. We will advise postage costs and delivery times, which will vary from those quoted by ABE.

Octavo, frontispiece, 11 lithograph plates, and seven maps (four folding), a very good copy, complete with 24 pp. publisher's advertisements, neatly recased in the original red cloth, spine gilt, the cloth in bright condition. First edition of Mitchell's account of his last expedition. In late 1845, with Edmund Kennedy as his second-in-command, Mitchell set out from Sydney in search of an overland route to the Port Essington settlement. Although he did not find the hoped-for route, over the next year he explored a vast area of unknown country in tropical Queensland, returning to Sydney in December 1846. As with his earlier expeditions, Mitchell showed contempt for official orders, preferring instead to follow his instincts. In this instance he seemed more interested in discovering the fabled Kindur River, one of his more enduring but erroneous beliefs. To justify his decision, he here represented his discovery of the Victoria River (which was in fact the Barcoo) as the legendary great north-flowing source. Although Mitchell did not succeed in finding a northward route and - if anything - further confused the riddle of the inland rivers upon his return, the expedition charted a vast area of previously unknown country without significant mishap or the loss of a single man. The fine tinted lithograph views in the books are all after Mitchell's own drawings. His work as a topographical artist has gained increasing respect in recent years and can be appreciated in the plates prepared for this book. It is characterised by a fine attention to detail and an accomplished use of tone and shading. An attractive copy in its original cloth binding. .

Two volumes, octavo, with lithographed title-pages, large folding map (repaired) and 51 lithographed plates, a few folding or coloured, and small text illustrations; contemporary half calf with marbled boards. Thomas Livingstone Mitchell was appointed to succeed Oxley as Surveyor General of New South Wales in 1828. The first expedition described here was undertaken to establish the veracity of a story spread about the colony by escaped convict George Clarke, "The Barber", who claimed to have discovered a large river flowing to the north of Australia, known by the Aboriginal name of Kindur. This expedition investigated the Namoi, Gwydir and Barwon rivers, but failed to prove or disprove the existence of the Kindur. The second and third expeditions were both aimed at fully determining the course of the Darling River, extending on Sturt's earlier discoveries. Despite meeting hostilities with local Aboriginal tribes resulting in a retreat to Sydney, and dismissing Burke's specific instructions regarding the Darling, Mitchell went on to make a discovery of the greatest importance: the rich lands of western Victoria, which he named Australia Felix in 1836. As well as being a fine surveyor, Mitchell was an accomplished draughtsman, and the plates in the book are all after his own drawings. This is the second edition, revised and extended from the first publication the previous year. Despite the huge European interest in Australian exploration, reflected in the number of titles published in London mid-century, only Mitchell's and Sturt's journals would run into second editions. . Provenance: Lionel Gilbert (historian, with bookplate). A little rubbed, with map at end of volume 2 in poor condition and with obtrusive tape repairs.

Octavo, frontispiece, 11 lithograph plates, and seven maps (four folding); a fine copy, unusually clean, bound without the advertisements in later half blue morocco gilt, top edges gilt. An elegantly bound copy of the first edition. In late 1845, with Edmund Kennedy as his second-in-command, Mitchell set out from Sydney in search of an overland route to the Port Essington settlement. Although he did not find the hoped-for route, over the next year he explored a vast area of unknown country in tropical Queensland, returning to Sydney in December 1846.

First edition. Frontispiece, 10 tinted lithographs & 7 maps (4 folding). Pp. xiv, 438, [2pp publisher's advertisements]. 8vo., original red cloth, blindstamped border, gilt vignette to spine. Joints a little worn, some rubbing and soiling to cloth. Booksellers label from Melbourne. With a presentation inscription from Mitchell's sister: 'From the Author's sister to Miss Hall, with warmest wishes for her welfare'. Between 1831 and 1848, Mitchell made four major expeditions into the Australian interior. Mitchell's final, year long expedition sought to solve once and for all the question of the drainage of North-Eastern Australia. He set out in December 1845 with Edmund Kennedy as second in command and proceeded north into tropical Queensland. He had hoped the Barcoo River (what he called the Victoria) would lead all the way to the Gulf of Carpentaria and thereby provide an overland route between Sydney and Port Essington on the Gulf of Carpentaria. A very good copy with a lovely association.
