6 Parkin, Ray. H. M. BARK ENDEAVOUR. Her place in Australian History. With an Account of her Construction, Crew and Equipment and a Narrative of her Voyage on the East Coast of New Holland in the Year 1770. With Plans, Charts and Illustrations by the Author. Med. 4to, First Edition; pp. xii, 468; 25 maps, 31 full- & half-page ship drawings and 12 smaller, several sourced from original drawings by Sydney Parkinson, 2 reproductions of original drawings by Parkinson, 15 other illustrations by Ray Parkin (mostly views), notes, bibliography, index; original cloth, gilt; together with, in cloth folding case, 15 detailed ship drawings and plans by Ray Parkin, each 800 by 580 mm., and sourced from original Admiralty drawings supplemented by sketches of Sydney Parkinson, artist on the “Endeavour”; a fine set in cloth slipcase. (Melbourne); The Miegunyah Press; (1997). ***First Edition, limited to 1000 copies for sale, and a superior production to any subsequent printings. The Endeavour is one of the most famous ships in maritime history, yet surprisingly few details of her were known to any but a small number of maritime historians. More than twenty-five years before publication of this book, Ray Parkin, seaman, author and artist was amazed to find how little was known and recorded of this ship, and set out to document everything he could discover. His researches were encouraged by that renowned scholar and chronicler of James Cook, Professor J. C. Beaglehole. The result is the most painstaking study of the Endeavour yet undertaken and a unique account of a great voyage of discovery: the passage up the east coast of Australia (then called New Holland) in the year 1770. Written for the scholar, mariner and layperson alike, Ray Parkin has recreated for the reader the very “experience” of being on board H. M. Bark “Endeavour”. With meticulous research, he reveals what she looked like, how she sailed, how she smelled; all aspects of daily life on board. No part of the ship or her functioning is too insignificant for his enquiries. The work is divided into two sections: Part I, The World of the Ship, details the sailor and his environment, the Captain, the ship herself, scurvy and provisioning, the ship’s company, and remarks on individuals come to notice through misfortune or by their sins and adventures. The text is accompanied by a series of plans and figures depicting the ship’s architecture and construction, her deck plan, rigging, sails, armament, boats, cables, anchors and accommodation. Fifteen of these are reproduced as large folding full-size sketches in the accompanying folding case. Part II, The Voyage (up the east coast of Australia), is a masterly synthesis of the Ships Log and the journals of James Cook, Sydney Parkinson and Joseph Banks, supplemented by extracts from the journals of other members of the ship’s complement, and with interpretive commentary and explanatory charts. The Author was born in Melbourne and joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1928, spending eighteen years in the service. He was on board HMAS Perth in 1942 when the cruiser was sunk in Sunda Strait, killing two thirds of her complement. #49819 A$450.00

Paris; Imprimerie Imperiale [et] Royale; 1807-1816. ***See Ferguson 449 (Historique), 536 (navigation atlas) and 603 (navigation text). Both the text and atlas of the Navigation and Geography are very rare and complete sets of the entire work are seldom encountered. The charts in the Atlases (both to the Navigation and to the Partie Historique) are mainly by de Freycinet, and the fine illustrations are by Lesueur and Petit. The plates consist of 5 coloured coastal views, natural history subjects (9 coloured), topographical views, native weapons, canoes, habitations, etc. (some coloured), and 10 portraits (4 coloured) of NAMED Aborigines by Nicolas-Martin Petit (1777-1804). One of the folding topographical views is a fine plate of Sydney by Charles Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846). The expedition was commanded by Nicolas Thomas Baudin (1754-1803), who died at Batavia on the way home. The purpose of the voyage was the thorough examination of the western and southern coasts of Australia, and especially to investigate a belief that a strait existed linking the southern sea with the Gulf of Carpentaria, thus dividing New Holland into two large islands. A six months’ stay at Sydney is fully described by Peron, embodying a valuable account of life in the early years of the settlement. Despite the failure of the expedition to complete its allotted tasks and the untimely death of its commander the scientific achievements were outstanding and many hundreds of plants were illustrated and described and in addition a collection of over eighteen thousand Zoological specimens was amassed, together with observations on numerous subjects - all this with a complement greatly reduced (both in scientific staff & crew) by desertion and illness!

To which are prefixed, Copies and Extracts of Letters from the Office of Secretary of State for the Home Department, bearing Date since the last Accounts relative to the Transporting of Convicts to New South Wales, and providing for the same. London: Printed for J. Debrett, Opposite Burlington-House, Piccadilly. M.DCC.XCII.

London; J. Debrett; 1792. ***Ferguson 144; Wantrup 12. This is the public reprinting of the House of Commons Paper published two months earlier, together with the extremely rare “Extracts of Letters, &c from Governor Phillip, relating to New South Wales. Ordered to be printed 21st May 1792” (Ferguson 143). The latter is reprinted at Pp. 123-127 of the present work and deals particularly with agriculture and land cultivation. These are invaluable documents on the progress of the fledgling settlement during 1790, especially the letters from Phillip, King, Paterson and other colonial officers. Even the lists of clothing and other articles requested and sent out are immensely interesting for the light they shed on the needs and problems of the colony. A foundation work of paramount importance, very seldom offered for sale. #21798 A$38,500.00
