Paperback. Condition: New. Australia's convict past is never far away in Tasmania, where elegant stone bridges, the Georgian warehouses of Salamanca Place and the eerie ruins of Port Arthur are testimony to the back-breaking work and the hard lives endured by those sentenced to transportation. Quintus Servinton is another remind…er of those cruel days. Subtitled "a tale, founded on incidents of real occurrence," the book is a loosely autobiographical story of a wayward fifth son, like Savery. Quintus Servinton (1830) is credited as being the first Australian novel, which, despite its dubious literary merit, gives it unique status. Henry Savery was born in 1791 in Somerset. He arrived in Hobart in 1825, having been sentenced to transportation for forgery. He might be completely unknown today had he not had a penchant for writing. Savery was released from servitude in 1832, having already published his major work. At Port Arthur, guides tell the story that he then sent for his wife, but she had an affair with a magistrate on the boat out, and returned to England, having been rejected by her husband. Savery was entrusted with banking work and tempted to re-offend. He appeared before the magistrate who had seduced his wife and was sent to the notorious penal settlement, Port Arthur, where he died in 1842.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Thus. 219pp, bibliography, notes, frontis. Cream cloth in jacket. Some toning and foxing to jacket. First published in 1829 in Hobart Town. A series of sketches describing the manners, foibles and morals of the residents of Hobart in the 1820s. Savery, as…a convict, was not permited to wtie, hence calling himself The Hermit. He also used fictitious names for the people delineated in the sketches, though their identities were apparently not difficult to discern resulting in the publisher's paying a fine for libel. Size: 8vo.
