About This Item

National Library of Australia, Canberra, facsimile edition (some volumes reprints) various dates 1976-1986. 7 vols, cloth, 8vo,. vii, xii, [2], 540 + vii, x, [2], 568 + vii, xii, [2], 632 + vii, xii, [2], 732 + vii, xiv, 1146 + vii, viii, 1141 + vii, xii, 1075 pp, ills, facs. 19017 entries. This set comprises the 7 principal volumes of Ferguson's Bibliography, namely the first four chronological volumes covering the period 1784-1850 together with the three alphabetical volumes which extended the coverage to 1900 (so comprising:Vol I 1784-1830; II 1831-1838; III 1839-1845; IV 1846-1850; V 1851-1900, A -G; VI 1851-1900, H -P; and VII 1851-1900 Q-Z). Not included here is a final volume adding Addenda to Vols I to IV. Ferguson's aim was to include and fully describe all books, pamphlets, broadsides, and periodicals, including newspapers, printed in Australia or relating in any way to Australia wherever printed. Maps, charts and prints, unless published in book form, were to be excluded. Ferguson also aimed to list fully the holdings of the Mitchell Library and the Dixson collection, Sydney, the National Library, Canberra, and of his own collection, with reference occasionally to the holdings of other libraries and collections. For the period 1851-1900 the coverage was reduced to omit some classes of material already listed in other bibliographies and references, namely fiction, drama and poetry; statutes; newspapers, journals and reports; legal publications; and reprints of papers in scientific proceedings and journals. Top edges duststained and a little marked, otherwise a Very Good set in used and rubbed dustwrappers, some of whose spine-panels are slightly faded.
