John White, chief surgeon to the settlement in New South Wales, was also an accomplished naturalist and herein describes the animals he discovered during his exploratory journeys in the new colony. The fine colored ornithological and other natural history plates are most attractive.

The long appendix is very important as it describes the natural history of the new colony; the first major work of this sort" - Hill. Some copies, unlike this example, were issued with the plates colored. FERGUSON 97. WANTRUP 17. HILL 1858. NISSEN ZBI 4390. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM55521

London: Printed for J. Debrett Piccadilly 1790. Quarto bound in contemporary calf-backed rubbed marbled-paper boards with vellum-tipped corners. Morocco titling-label to spine. 18 300 36 4 pp. With engraved title-page title-vignette and 65 magnificent full-page copper engraved plates. Complete with the List of Subscribers and the 4pp. of advertisements for Debrett's New Publications at the end. The Appendices consist of Natural History illustrations and accompanying scientific descriptions; a record of the Deaths between December 1786 and July 1788; and the 36-page 'A Diary of the Winds Weather Temperature of the Air &c. with the different Latitudes and Longitudes in a Voyage to Port Jackson New South Wales' comprising full-page tables dated May 1787 to January 1788 with the last entry being made on 25 January. Some light foxing.1st edition. John White circa 1757-1832 was Surgeon-General to the First Fleet and the Settlement at Port Jackson from 1787 to 1794 when he returned to England. A keen amateur naturalist he accompanied Governor Arthur Phillip on two journeys of exploration adding notes and records to the journal which he had begun on his journey south in 1787. The journal together with specimens of the flora fauna and artefacts he had collected on his travels was sent to England to be edited by White's friend Thomas Wilson. Interest in the new colony was so great that in the lead-up to its publication on 29 December 1789 White's book generated 700 subscribers one of whom was the celebrated botanist Sir Joseph Banks. The book proved to be a huge success and in the next few years was translated into French German and Swedish. White's Journal provides one of the earliest accounts of the settlement in New South Wales. Perhaps even more importantly it is also Australia's first book of natural history. NOTE: Whilst there has been a plethora of analysis and discussion by Australian bibliophiles regarding the variant points of Debrett's first edition of White's Journal in so far as coloured versus black/white copies are concerned there can be no question that more coloured copies than the original b/w copies appear on the market. One can only assume that this is the result of subsequent colouring making copies in their as issued b/w state increasingly scarce. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 235926

First edition, hand-coloured issue with the plates on Whatman fine handmade wove paper. White's Journal contains circumstances omitted by governor Phillip and others, besides being "the first major work on the flora and fauna of Australia to appear after the arrival of the First Fleet in Port Jackson" (Bauer, p. 16). John White (c.1756-1832) entered the navy in 1778 as the third surgeon's mate on HMS Wasp. Eight years later, he was appointed chief surgeon of the expedition to establish a settlement at Botany Bay. White "sailed to Australia with the First Fleet, the convict transports and other vessels which sailed with the Sirius under Captain Arthur Phillip" (Hill). On joining the First Fleet, White had begun to keep a journal with notes of birds examined in the colony. "In November 1788 he sent this to a London friend, Thomas Wilson Accompanying the text were 65 engravings illustrating the natural history and products of the colony, drawn in England from specimens sent by White, with descriptions by English specialists" (ADB). White appears to have several convicts who were capable draughtsmen working for him, as "many convicts were forgers and on that account quite talented" (Wantrup). When the convict and artist Thomas Watling (1762-?1814) reached the colony in 1792, he came under White's care, producing illustrations for him for two years. Besides natural history, the Journal includes an important account of a voyage from London to Rio de Janeiro, to Cape Town, and of other colonial voyages to Norfolk Island. The subscribers list, present here, contains some 700 names, evidence of the contemporary interest in the South Pacific in the wake of Cook's voyages. This copy has pages 239/40 (on the Merops carunculatus, or Wattled Bee-eater) and 255/56 (on the Motacilla superba, or Superb Warbler) in uncancelled states. Crittenden 248; Ferguson 97; Hill, p. 324; Wantrup 17. Aaron M. Bauer, "Notes on John White's 'Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales: A Classic of Australian Herpetology'", International Society for the History and Bibliography of Herpetology, vol 1, no. 1, 1999. Quarto (285 x 216 mm). Mid-20th century half calf, smooth spine gilt in compartments, retaining dark green morocco label from former original binding, marbled boards, edges sprinkled brown. Engraved title page and 65 plates with original hand-colouring on J. Whatman paper; 4 pp. publisher advertisements at end. A few surface scratches of leather, minor stripping to label, title page with small aread of neat restoration in lower corner, scattered foxing or soiling, marginal skinning of paper to plate of "Knob-fronted Bee Eater".
