Sydney, Australian Documents Library, 1980.

Quarto, xx, 401 pages with a genealogical table plus 17 plates.

Papered boards; corners slightly bumped (with a few tiny associated creases to the corner tips of a few early leaves); an excellent copy with the dustwrapper a little creased and the spine a little sunneD.

This 'journal does something no other First Fleet journal does; it gives us a day-by-day account of a colony's struggle for survival' in Norfolk Island. Not least, King's Maori vocabulary. A major First Fleet journal, this is the second in the Australian Documents Library series. Edited by Paul G. Fidlon and R.J. Ryan.
