Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1818, Thomas Wells wrote the first work of general literature published in Australia, describing the life of British highwayman, convicted to Van Diemens Land; the bushranger Michael Howe (1787-1818). Howe and his gang plundered the New Norfolk and other early settled areas in Tasmania. Also included in this volume - Van Diemen's Land Warriors, the first verse published in Tasmania in 1827. This satire on the military forces for their failure to put an end to bushranging was suppressed by Government Order, and all copies burnt, except one. Both volumes were originally republished by historian, George Mackaness, who also introduces and contributes an essay on Mathew Brady (1799 1826) not the first but definitely the last of the Tasmanian bushrangers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the year 1890, Stevenson was living at Apia in Samoa, where he had purchased some three hundred acres in the bush, two miles behind and six hundred feet above the level of the town, and on which he proposed to build a cottage for himself and his family. Why did he almost immediately leave Samoa to pay his first visit to Sydney? The answer, as he tells us himself, was not '' for the purpose of spying out the land,'' but first because he was seeking health, and secondly because he wished to consult an architect regarding the plans for his new home to be built at Vailima. So begins historian George Mackaness in this classic monograph detailing the author's four visits to Sydney between 1890 and 1894, touching his writings here of Father Damien and The Wrecker. Introduced by Robert Darroch Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
