The Far North Country. [Reprinted from the 'South Australian Advertiser' (cover sub-title)]

Adelaide, Burden & Bonython, 'Advertiser' Office, 1887.

Octavo, 39 pages.

Original printed wrappers slightly marked and very lightly chipped; an excellent copy with the early ink ownership signature of Sidney Plint at the head of the front cover.

A journey by coach from the end of the railway line from Adelaide to Alice Springs, with the object of 'throwing some light upon a subject nearly affecting the welfare and advancement of South Australia'. Newland is blunt about the 'very unsatisfactory' black-white relations; there 'is too much namby-pambyism about the way we deal with the whole subject'. Ferguson 13317 (noting only red cloth boards).
