AUSTRALIANA

First Edition, 8vo; pp. x, 165; portrait frontispiece, 3 pages of plates (1 double-page illustration, 1 full-page map), 8 other line illustrations throughout text, bibliography; dustjacket a little rubbed; otherwise a very good copy. This book is a lively account of the life and times of a Scot who, by his leadership, by his scientific studies and exploration, added so much to the Australian heritage. It was Macleay who with Captain Arthur Onslow, R.N. (James Macarthur’s son-in-law), as second-in-command, financed and led the first Australian scientific expedition to New Guinea in the barque Chevert in 1875. #1220/200124
