About This Item
Melbourne: Heritage Publications., [1975]. Facsimile edition. Quarto. Publisher's original red cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with a large folding frontispiece, one colour plate, four black and white plates, and a folding colour map. A very good copy, the binding square and firm. The contents with some spotting to the edges of the textblock, toning to the pastedowns, minor wear to the paper covering the front hinge, and a minor 1cm tear to the blank inner margin of the folding frontispiece are otherwise in very good order. The unclipped dustwrapper with some fading to the spine, light spotting verso and a little shelf-wear to the extremities is likewise very good. A facsimile of the 1803 London edition of Grant's account of his exploration of New South Wales.
