Jones. 1803. (Published date 1803). RARE FIRST EDITION. The 1st ed. is of extraordinary rarity. Thick 8vo. 8.0" x 5.25" inches (LxB). Two volumes bound in one. Pp. [6], 467, (5) pages. Original hand-colored engraved title, hand-colored engraved map (torn with loss), three (of 9) hand colored engraved plates only. Lacks portrait frontispiece. A rare book bound in original contemporary full diced Russian gilt decorated calf leather binding, gilt stamped spine with 4 raised bands. A substantial account of the voyage to New South Wales via the Cape of Good Hope, with incidents partly derived from Barrington's experience on the Third Fleet. Transported to New South Wales on the Third Fleet of 1791, Barrington was already a legendary hero in England, a prince of rogues. The English public's continuing interest in New South Wales and the fate of the transported convicts encouraged the publishers' greed: they compiled information from various sources to satisfy a public starved of accounts of the new colony since the books by Tench and Hunter in 1793. BOUND WITH THE HISTORY OF NEW SOUTH WALES including Botany Bay, Port Jackson, Parramatta, Sydney, and all its Dependancies, from the Original Discovery of the Island.. by GEORGE BARRINGTON, Superintendant of the Convicts LONDON: Printed for M. Jones. 1802. (Published date 1802). RARE FIRST EDITION. The 1st ed. is of extraordinary rarity. Thick 8vo. 8.0" x 5.25" inches (LxB). Bound with above. Pp. [25ff], 505 pages. Half-title, original hand-colored engraved frontispiece & title, 20 hand colored engraved plates (asks for 17only). The History, with its twenty full-page plates, is the first book on the new colony to contain coloured illustrations of Sydney; these are also among the earliest engravings to show proper settlement - only Collins' Account of the Colony (1798) having any earlier depictions. Despite questions about its actual authorship, this is a substantial and important account of early Sydney. The preface claims with some justice that 'no prior attempt has been made to produce a complete history of the Country itself, from its discovery, and an account of its inhabitants, their customs and manners...'. A beautiful set of Barrington's famous pair of works. A classic work.
