Item description from seller

Perth, Richard Pether, Government Printer, 1882, and London, L. Reeve & Co., 1879. Large quarto, 28 pages (last blank) with several tables plus 2 tinted lithographs and 2 colour maps (one folding, 490 × 370 mm); and [viii], 30 pages plus 21 plates (including 17 full-page uncoloured lithographs of eucalypts after drawings by R. Austen). Pebble-grain dark green cloth with a large title-label (printed in gilt on black paper) on the front cover; minor loss to the label (removing two letters of one word); cloth a little marked, with light wear to the extremities; small section (25 mm) of the leading edge of the rear cover a little abraded; endpaper hinges neatly reinforced; light tidemarks to two small sections of the endpapers, with a little foxing confined mainly to the inner surfaces of the free endpapers and the adjacent pages; one tear to the folding map expertly sealed; minimal loss to silverfish to the bottom margin of the small map; mild signs of age and use; a very good copy. The balance of the first title is 'with some remarks and suggestions on future conservation and management of the timber areas, from various authorities. With a reprint of the regulations and laws in force for the renting or leasing of timbered lands'. The introduction to the combined work, compiled under the direction of Malcolm Fraser, the WA Surveyor General, has this to say: 'In compliance with your instructions, and so far as the information and means at my command allowed, I have collected in a general way such information about our timber Forests as was available, to me, and I have endeavoured to weave this together somewhat in a connected form. By including the valuable Report on the Forest Resources of Western Australia, by Baron Ferd. von Mueller, it will be brought more prominently before the public than it has hitherto been. the drawings give a very fair idea of the character of the Jarrah and Karri forests'.…
