South Australia. Its Early History, its Climate and a few Particulars of its Products and Capabilities... Written specially for transmission to England

Adelaide, E.S. Wigg & Son, [1900].

Octavo, 61 pages plus a frontispiece portrait and 9 plates.

Decorated flush-cut red papered boards; spine lightly sunned, with trifling loss to the head and foot; an excellent copy.

The author's aim in writing this book for prospective immigrants was to 'give them the benefit of my own experience of a country in which the greater part of my life has been spent'. He arrived in Adelaide in 1851, aged 30, and spent his entire life at Glenelg. Loosely inserted is a small piece of paper signed with the author's compliments. Ferguson 10449 (but less detailed than our record).
