38. Baxter, Carol J. (editor) (1988). General Muster and Land and Stock Muster of New South Wales 1822 (1st ed). Sydney: Australian Biographical and Genealogical Record (ABGR) / Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG). 780 pp. Hardback small quarto, no jacket as issued, very good condition, red cloth cover (gilt lettering), frontispiece photo, some foxing top edge, cover corners little bumped, minor edgewear. Heavy (1.5 Kg), and not available for postage to destinations outside Australia. A transcription by Carol J. Baxter of the 1822 muster, which provides an unequalled record of all settlers (free settlers and convicts) in New South Wales at the end of the first generation of European settlement. Includes the occupation of each settler, family groupings, and settlers to which individual convicts were assigned. The year 1822 saw the end of an era, with the departure of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, the longest serving Governor of the colony. The 1822 musters are very important records, reflecting the nature of the colony at the end of his governorship, through the circumstances of the individuals residing in the colony. The muster provides confirmation of, or sometimes the only reference to, other relationships as well. Details of husbands, wives, sons and daughters are frequently recorded - however, the muster also includes references to grandchildren, nephews and nieces, brothers and sisters and even adopted children. This book will be a good reference for anyone with an interest in Australian history and genealogy. First edition stated. (This copy: Hardback, no jacket, very good condition, 1988.)

Edited by Anthony Payne. Includes a colour facsimile of the original letter in the centre pages. The Columbus Letter that London bookseller Bernard Quaritch bought in 1890 was the most valuable item of printed Americana to ever appear on the market.

This was a service to his firm and to the Lenox Library (now part of the New York Public Library), which purchased the item. This new edition also includes an account of the printing of the original Spanish Columbus Letter in 1493 and, drawing on materials surviving in the Quaritch Archive, the story of how Quaritch, and his son Alfred, marketed it in America.

A young Queenslander falls in love with a fascinating girl from town but is jilted in favour of a titled man with money. He becomes a misogynist of the deepest dye, and buries himself in a veritable wilderness called Rocky Section — miles from anywhere. One day he discovers a girl near his place who has evidently lost her way and fainted from sheer exhaustion. He takes her to his hut and revives her, only to find that she has lost her memory and cannot tell where she comes from. He hates women with a bitter hatred, but is on the horns of a dilemma. What happens? "The way out" is most interesting, but you must read it for yourself." (Bookseller stamp: J. H. Lundager, My Morgan.). Our Book No: 16426. $150 AUD.
