		Autograph letter signed ("L.A. Twamley"), about payment for an early work, from the woman who would marry Charles Meredith, and emigrate to Tasmania, where she would create her most famous books illustrating Tasmanian flora.  3 1/2pp, 8vo, n.p., "Wednesday Morning" n.d. To Mrs. &#91;S.C.?] Hall, asking her opinion on "Mrs. Landon&#91;?] tells me you will give me 'counsel's opinion' on a case I am now deliberating about, and which may possibly touch my pocket, that vital part of a poor scribbler like myself -- Will you give me an idea as to what the writer of the accompanying billet ought to pay me. . . . I . . . do not think I ought to let him print some of my little songs, which I have been told are good . . . without receiving some benefit -- You will see he wants free use of all I have written. . . . If you have not seen my first attempt at authorship, and think the volume I now send worth looking into, pray keep it -- the copy-right is my own still, and in it are the songs wh. Mr. Wood would require. . . ." Folds; remains of cellophane mounting tape along one edge; center folds starting (partially repaired with a segment of browned tape); else very good. Together with a printed prospectus, one page, 4to, reading at the top "New Annual for 1839", and announcing: "On the First of October will be published, in large octavo, handsomely bound, price Twelve Shillings, The Annual of British Landscape Scenery. An Autumn Ramble on the Wye. By Louisa Anne Twamley, Author of 'The Romance of Nature.' Embellished with Twenty Exquisitely Engraved Plates. . . ." Partially mounted to another sheet; folds; with some mild staining and a related partial clipping from a newspaper or catalogue pasted to the bottom edge.

		Supremely rare exile narrative, recounting Samuel Snow's convict and voyage narrative and his subsequent hardships.  Snow, an American and a Mason..... Republican fervor.   Snow, of Spongeville, Ohio, an idealist border country woodsman, joined fellow American nationals in order to overthrow British rule in Canada.  December 4th 1838, took part at an abortive uprising in Windsor (Upper Canada).  Captured tried and sentenced to death, a sentence commuted by the new Governor, Sir George Arthur, lately Governor of Tasmania, whose name was memorialised by Port Arthur, the dreadful convict prison.  Arthur, wno was inclined to hang all and sundry ("1508 death warrants, and only eight ... saved from the gallows... " (Snow) was influenced to leniency under pressure from Britain.   In all, 92 patriot exiles were transported to Van Dieman's Land, 90% of which were citizens of the United States.   Four of them were known to be Mason's, Samuel Snow being among them.   In November 1844, Snow was pardoned, and he returned to Ohio via Honolulu, which he discusses at some length.   The last copy to appear at auction, to our knowledge, was over thirty years ago at the Craig sale in Tasmania, 1975, Christie, Manson & Wood.  Craig's copy, lot 272, was described as rebound in half calf with some foxing and brouht over $2500 in 1975.  Ferguson 4381, recording Craig's copy and the Mitchell Library copy, citing the work in pink wraps, (no priority known to us), and quoting from the 1932 catalog of New York booksellers Dauber & Pine, "Of excessive rarity... Of all the Canadian Exile Narratives undoubtedly the rarest."  Eberstandt - 130-268 - "Samuel Snow's Rare Narrative.  Not in Carter.  The body of the narrative is given over to an account of Snow's voyage on the whaler Steiglitz from Van Dieman's Land to the Sandwich Islands; his stay and observations there; and division ofthe party, some goig to California and the Northwest Coast, others around the Horn to New Bedford."  Midland 91-496 - Cataloging a copy in 1965 and stating "&#91;Snow's] narrative is so very rare that we are not inclined to apolgise for the condition of the wrappers which had been badly crumpled."  An image reproduction of the front cover in Midland's copy shows the line "J.B. Fellows, Arcade News-Room" which is not seen in our copy or mentioned by Ferguson.  Sabin-85537.  Howes S-742.  8vo, 32pp.  First edition.  In original green printed wraps.  With a heading preceeding the title "Copy Right Secured."  Advertisement on back wrapper for the printer.

		The ships depicted are the "Enterprise" and the "Investigator", commanded by Sir John Ross. The print was published by Baxter ca. 1850 in chromolithographic colour, & would usually be issued with the Baxter embossed stamp in the margin below; this copy trimmed. Baxter patented a process of printing in oil colours. 8 3/8" x 6 1/2", printed in dark blue-green ink, three small fox spots, otherwise the color is very bright. It is unsigned, without lettering. Sir John Franklin had a varied & far flung career - in 1800, he accompanied Matthew Flinders on the "Investigator" &#91;the first ship to circumnavigate Australia]; he fought in the battle of Trafalgar on the "Bellerophon"; he fought in actions near New Orleans in late 1814-early 1815. His first arctic exploration was in 1818 as commander of the "Trent"; in 1819, made another expedition under Capt. Ross & Lt. Parry. In 1825, he made another expedition to find a route to the Arctic Ocean by way of the Mackenzie River. In 1837, he took the post of Governor of Tasmania, which he held for 6 years. In 1845, he started his last, fateful journey to the Arctic. This is Baxter's only polar example.

		An extremely scarce Tasmanian exile narrative.  Meagher (1823-1867) was a revolutionary in the Irish Rebellion of 1848. Sentenced to death for his actions in Ireland, the sentence was commuted to transportation to Australia.  The third chapter, titled "Convict Life in Van Dieman's Land - Escape, and Arrival in America" describes his experiences in Tasmania, where he lived in towns such as Lake Sorel, Campbelltown, Ross and Richmond.  He escaped to the US and later became a Union commander of the Irish Brigade of New York in the American Civil War.  With a lovely lithograph portrait of Meagher at the frontis piece.  Small 8vo, vi, 357pp, Appendix.  Gilt and blind stamped maroon cloth, with gilt Irish design at front cover, with Irish harp at center & gilt title at spine.  Spine slt sunned, tips nicely strengthened, gilt somewhat faded, corners lt. rubbed.  Pleasant externally, very good internally.   This edition not in Ferguson, but the National Library of Australia holds a copy (2714420; N 973.7092 M482L).   Ferguson 11796 is a Glasgow edition of 186pp (no date) (NLA, SLNSW, Melb, Syd); a London edition of 186pp is held at the Catholic Institute of Sydney. Ferguson 12381 is a later edition copyrighted in 1886.   Other copies of this edition do not appear in Australian libraries.  OCLC: 3148046.

		Peron, Francois. Voyage de Decouvertes Aux Terres Australes, Execute par Ordre de sa Majeste l'Empereur et Roi, sur les Corvettes le Geographe, le Naturaliste, et la Goelette le Casuarina, pendant les Annees 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803 et 1804 &#91;Historique]. Paris 1807-16. The partie historique. 2 vols text 4to & atlas royal 4to, 2 vols. bound in 1 (as issued). First edition. Ferguson 449. (iv) xvi, 496 pp, (ii) (&) (xxxii) 472 pp, 3 plts. Atlas, 6pp, 41 plts &#91;numbered 2-41 as issued] (&) 6 pp, 14 folding maps & plans. Text has some lt. preliminary foxing & lt. general browning. The atlas has been restored professionally. Uniformly bound in half calf, gilt spines, red & brown labels, marbled boards. A nice copy. In 1800, with Nicolas Baudin in command, the Geographe & the Naturaliste set sail for the South Seas. Freycinet was the expedition's cartographer, Peron the naturalist, Petit the portrait artist & Lesueur the topographical artist. They had instructions to make full examination of the Australian coasts & especially to explore the unknown southern coast. On the return voyage, Baudin died, leaving the disgruntled scientists Peron & Freycinet to prepare the narrative for publication. They ignored Baudin's contribution - his name does not appear on the title page. It was the enlightened attitude of the French towards explorations of this kind that they included in their crews the scientists & artists who would reveal to the world the society of the new races they encountered. The stipple engraved portraits, many in color, of the Australian aborigines & Timor natives are some of the most beautiful ever done. Examples of native artifacts, canoes, dwellings & music abound. Lesueur's panorama of Sydney is superb & the colored natural history plates of the kangaroo, wombat, platypus, emu etc, are exquisite. The large general map of Australia is the first detailed charting of the entire Aus. coast (Flinders' publication being delayed by his detention in Mauritius). Likewise, the map of Geographe Bay/Cape Naturaliste is the first published. The 1st edition also includes the important Swan River map, which does not appear in the 2nd edition. One of the best illustrated works of the time.

		The ships depicted are the "Enterprise" and the "Investigator", commanded by Sir John Ross. The print was published by Baxter ca. 1850 in colour, & would usually be issued with the Baxter embossed stamp in the margin below. Baxter patented a process of printing in oil colours. 8 3/8" x 6 1/2", printed in dark blue-green ink, very faintly foxed, an old fold mark in the top margin, otherwise good. This is the key plate for the Baxter print which was eventually published, which is essentially a proof plate. It is unsigned, without lettering, and is rare. Sir John Franklin had a varied & far flung career - in 1800, he accompanied Matthew Flinders on the "Investigator" &#91;the first ship to circumnavigate Australia]; he fought in the battle of Trafalgar on the "Bellerophon"; he fought in actions near New Orleans in late 1814-early 1815. His first arctic exploration was in 1818 as commander of the "Trent"; in 1819, made another expedition under Capt. Ross & Lt. Parry. In 1825, he made another expedition to find a route to the Arctic Ocean by way of the Mackenzie River. In 1837, he took the post of Governor of Tasmania, which he held for 6 years. In 1845, he started his last, fateful journey to the Arctic. This is Baxter's only polar example.

In 1800, with Nicolas Baudin in command, the Geographe & the Naturaliste set sail for the South Seas. Freycinet was the expedition's cartographer, Peron the naturalist, Petit the portrait artist & Lesueur the topographical artist. They had instructions to make full examination of the Australian coasts & especially to explore the unknown southern coast. On the return voyage, Baudin died, leaving the disgruntled scientists Peron & Freycinet to prepare the narrative for publication. They ignored Baudin's contribution - his name does not appear on the title page. It was the enlightened attitude of the French towards explorations of this kind that they included in their crews the scientists & artists who would reveal to the world the society of the new races they encountered. The stipple engraved portraits, many in color, of the Australian aborigines & Timor natives are some of the most beautiful ever done. Examples of native artifacts, canoes, dwellings & music abound. Lesueur's panorama of Sydney is superb & the colored natural history plates of the kangaroo, wombat, platypus, emu etc, are exquisite. The large general map of Australia is the first detailed charting o

A wonderful account, Maria Hackett's observations on Tasmania, where she lived from 1828-1841. She emigrated from Cork, Ireland with her husband, a distiller by trade. Fascinating account of life at the time "hired labor was very scarce...we engaged a Mohammedan, who deserted a vessel from Calcutta, who proved himself far superior to the 'help' of the present day"... "I made great preparations for entertaining... the famous New Zealand chief, Kanawanga Tapita". Many amusing portraits of people they came to know in Tasmania, including Sir John & Lady Franklin. She states her family distilling business was greatly harmed by requirements imposed by Great Britain.

John Stockdale, London 1800. 2 vols, 8vo, (xxxii) 33-487 (&) 5-344pp & 105 pp appendix. Large folding map & 45 copper engraved plates, many folding. Early half red calf & marbled boards rubbed and dusty o/w a pleasant contemporary copy. Ferguson 310, Hill p. 168. Hill cites this as the first English edition, while Ferguson cites a 4to edition published in the same year - it is possible that the two editions were published simultaneously. La Perouse visited many ports on his circumnavigational voyage. The last known stop was to Botany Bay in the fledgling colony of New South Wales - thereafter there was no news of them. After three years, the French government sent out two search ships, under d'Entrecasteaux and Kermadee. Labillardiere was one of the naturalists aboard, and although the search for La Perouse was unsuccessful, the voyage greatly advanced knowledge of the natural history and charting of Tasmania, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.

		Tablet designed by T. Caffin, monumental sculptor, Regent Street, London, and erected in Adelaide, South Australia.  Arthur Daniel Gell, born in 1822, was one of the seven sons of Philip & Elizabeth Gell of Derby.  He was private secretary to Governor Gawler in South Australia, where he worked in the public service for 10 years.  He was lost at sea in 1848, en route to New Zealand to take up a similar post with Lt. Governor Edward John Eyre, the Australian explorer.   His eldest brother, Rev. John Philip Gell, had a distinguished association with Tasmania & Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer, and his family.  He founded the Hutchins School in Hobart, the Launceston Church Grammar School and was the first  Warden of Christ College, Hobart. He was also Sir John's Chaplain and when Sir John made his historic journey across Tasmania to Macquarie Harbour in 1842, Sir John named Mount Gell after him. Rev. Gell married Franklin's only daughter, Eleanor Isabella.  Franklin died in 1847 in his efforts to discover the North West Passage.   5 1/2 x 7 1/4" with 2" margins.  The lithograph drawing is rather handsomely offset with a black background.   In excellent condition.  Ex the Gell family papers.

It includes a 10x15" (25.4x38 cm) folding map of Australind, "Plan shewing the situation of the New Settlement of Australind in Western Australia 80 miles distant south of Swan River".

		Heustis, Daniel. Voyage to Van Diemens Land. A letter from Daniel Heustis, one of the exiles, to his brother William, forwarded to the editor of the Jeffersonian by Mr. Skinner. Published in the newspaper The Carthagenian, Thursday June 3, 1841, Carthage N.Y. 37.5 column cms. Folio 4pp disbound, light foxing, centerfold somewhat split, contemporary folded in 4. A presentable copy. A vivid and illuminating account of the conditions borne by the "Patriot" exiles on their voyage to Van Diemens Land. Gives specific details such as passengers (141 prisoners, 300 total), dates, times, ships & ports entered including Rio, St. Paul & Amsterdam Island. The ship is listed as H.M. Buffalo, under the Captain James Wood, and the only death being Mr. Asa Priest of Auburn N.Y. The editor notes in a short preface to the letter that this letter was written on March 7th, and had lain in the London post office awaiting payment of charges. He encourages readers to make a "subscription" to the post office in Watertown (N.Y.) to ensure no other letters will be delayed. Daniel Heustis eventually returned to the U.S. and in 1847 published an account of his "adventures & sufferings" which is one of the rarer Canadian rebellion prisoner narratives, recorded as Ferguson 4536.
