• Lot Description:
  Collins, David. An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales, from its first Settlement
  in January 1788, to August 1801: with Remarks on the Dispositions, Customs, Manners, &c. of the Native Inhabitants of that Country. To which are added, some particulars of New Zealand; compiled, by permission, from the Mss. of Lieutenant-Governor King; and an account of a voyage performed by Captain Flinders and Mr Bass; by which the existence of a Strait separating Van Diemen’s Land from the continent of New Holland was ascertained. Abstracted from the Journal of Mr Bass... Vol. II. Quarto, one chart, three full-page handcoloured plates, two full-page plain plates, four engraved illustrations in the text (two handcoloured), with the half-title, marbled boards and half calf of the period, boards detached. London, T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1802.
• Notes:
  The rare second volume (only), significantly more uncommon than the first volume and much sought. It is of great importance, both for its chronicle of later events and for the narratives of voyages and expeditions of discovery undertaken in the intervening years. Casey Wood, 294; Davidson, pp. 90-2; Ferguson, 350; Hill 2, 335 (first volume only); Wantrup, 20.
