Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Adelaide, E.S. Wigg & Son, 1879 [first thus]. Octavo, xliv, 316 pages. Original dark green cloth decorated in black on the front and rear boards, and decorated and lettered in gilt on the spine; cloth lightly flecked; a fine copy. An early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time of publication; the lengthy (34-page) introduction by Woods is new to this edition. This is a variant edition, as issued (we purchased several copies some years ago from the publisher's archive); it does not contain the eight tinted lithographs normally found in this collected reprint. These plates were new to the reprint. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution, 'The Narrinyeri' (156 pages plus 6 preliminaries) is the text of the revised edition of 1878 (see his informative preface, dated 12 April 1878, at page [xliii]). The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines, from 1837 to 1839 ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). The contributions by Meyer, Schuermann, Gason and Bennett first appeared in 1846, 1846, 1874 and 1869 respectively. Ferguson 13095 (noting variant bindings, but not noting this unillustrated edition).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Adelaide, E.S. Wigg & Son, 1879 [first thus]. Octavo, xliv, 316 pages plus 8 tinted lithographs with tissue-guards. Full russet morocco, extensively tooled in gilt; all edges gilt; spine lightly sunned; joints slightly cracked (but firm); a few minor signs of age and handling internally; overall, in excellent condition. The handsome colonial presentation binding has the ticket 'Bound at Government Printing Office, Adelaide, S.A.' on the rear pastedown; it was almost certainly executed by Emanuel Spiller, the South Australian Government Printer at the time. An early binder's blank contains the inscription 'The South Australian Institute, to Dr. Francis Reuleaux; Privy Councillor and Royal Professor; Chief Commissioner for the Empire of Germany at the Melbourne International Exhibition. Adelaide, 1881'. Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905) was an influential German mechanical engineer, who oversaw German machinery exhibits at the Sydney and Melbourne exhibitions (1879-81). He is best known as the father of modern kinematics. His armorial bookplate with manuscript inventory number is mounted opposite the inscription. Spiller's name appears as exhibitor and jury-member of competitions and exhibitions of binding and printing throughout the 1880s. The 'Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser' for 27 March 1880 carries a lengthy article by John Plummer on colonial bookbindings displayed at the Sydney International Exhibition, noting that '. in the South Australian Court, Mr. E. Spiller, the Government printer, of Adelaide, occupies the foremost rank'. The book itself is an important early collected reprint of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and lengthy (34-page) introduction by Woods were new to this edition. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution, 'The Narrinyeri' (156 pages plus 6 preliminaries) is the text of the revised edition of 1878 (see his informative preface, dated 12 April 1878, at page [xliii]). The Wyatt contribution was not previously published as such; the text here was 'principally extracted from his official reports' stemming from his relatively short and unhappy time as the third South Australian Protector of the Aborigines, from 1837 to 1839 ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). The contributions by Meyer, Schuermann, Gason and Bennett first appeared in 1846, 1846, 1874 and 1869 respectively. Ferguson 13095 (noting blue sand-grain cloth and another binding in half leather, but not an unillustrated edition we have identified).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Adelaide, E.S. Wigg & Son, 1879 [first thus]. Octavo, xliv, 316 pages plus 8 tinted lithographs with tissue-guards. Original green ribbed cloth; spine and front cover blocked in gilt, with the cover design repeated in blind on the rear cover; covers lightly rubbed and flecked, with some short splits at the head and foot of the spine; infrequent light foxing; a few minor signs of age and use; an excellent copy. An early compendium, here in the preferred binding of elaborately gilt-blocked green cloth, of works already scarce at the time; the lithographs and the lengthy (34-page) introduction by Woods were new to this edition. Not commonly known is that Taplin's substantial contribution, 'The Narrinyeri' (156 pages plus 6 preliminaries) is the text of the revised edition of 1878 (see his informative preface, dated 12 April 1878, at page [xliii]).
