STURT, Charles

An Expedition into the North-Western Interior of New South Wales, 1828

Adelaide, Sullivan's Cove, 1983.

Quarto, 116 pages plus a rear pastedown map.

Cloth; a fine copy with the dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased near the head of the rear hinge.

'Sturt's journal (of his first expedition) and introduction, prepared for Governor Darling at the conclusion of the expedition, are here transcribed from Sturt's manuscript [for the first time] ... By its very nature the journal differs from the narrative of the expedition published in Sturt's "Two Expeditions into the interior of Southern Australia" in 1833. These two records differ in numerous particulars also. The earlier record perhaps will be thought the more accurate.' One of only 250 numbered copies.
