About This Item
Adelaide: William Kyffin Thomas, Printer [for The Author], 1874. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide, William Kyffin Thomas, Printer [for The Author], 1874. Octavo, 53 pages. Flush-cut quarter green cloth and yellow papered boards, with the full title page details repeated on the front cover; some discolouration to the front endpapers from a newspaper cutting; essentially a very fine copy. 'These papers are written solely for private distribution amongst relatives and special friends; and, as my family is rather numerous and dispersed, the necessity arises of having them printed'. This copy is inscribed to 'Percival Randolph Stow, from his affectionate grandfather' and signed by the author. Stow, a son of Judge Randolph Stow, was the second husband of Catherine Stow (Katie Langloh Parker). Loosely inserted is a 1941 newspaper clipping containing a brief biography of the author, an 1829 pioneer of Western Australia before settling in South Australia in 1846; he died in 1877.
