Sobre este artículo
(Amsterdam: Time-Life Books, 1984) 705415104. "Classics of Exploration" series, text facsimile of the 1810 2nd edition. 8vo; original padded leatherette blocked in red and gilt; a.e.g.; marbled endpapers; pp. (viii) + 472 + (iv); several plates in colours; silk marker; folding map. Fine condition. An account of the life of celebrity Irish pickpocket George Barrington, his transportation to Australia, and elevation to a position of responsibility in the penal colony, before succumbing to insanity, which is euphemistically referred to as 'infirmity' in the book. The work is now known to have been ghostwritten by someone other than Barrington, and includes substantial elements of plagiarism, borrowing particularly from John Hunter's 'Historical Journal of the Transactions at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island'. .
