Sydney, Sherriff & Downing, [1863]. Duodecimo, iv, 118, 10 (publisher's advertisements) pages plus a folding 'colored [sic] map of the Colony compiled expressly for the work' (427 × 538 mm) and endpaper advertisements. Original flush-cut blind-stamped blue patterned cloth (lettered in gilt on the front cover) a little rubbed and marked, and slightly worn at the extremities; thin strip snipped from the head of the front flyleaf; occasional light foxing; one opening a little discoloured by a newsprint bookmark (no longer present); minimal signs of use and age; a very good copy. Provenance: Thomas Thornton Reed (1902-1995), Anglican Archbishop of Adelaide, with his signature in pencil at the head of the title page. Ferguson 15645 (supplying the date; the advertisement on the rear flyleaf contains testimonials dated January 1863, and suggests those wishing to 'be supplied in May, June, or July this year are requested to send their orders in without delay'). The map is extensively - and attractively - handcoloured. An augmented edition was published in 1866 (see Ferguson 15646). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 75777
