There is a 'School Prize' plate on the front paste down. This book was an attempt by the author to introduce Matthew Flinders to a wider audience, than the 2 volume work written by Professor Scott called 'Life'. "I have long desired to provide setting of Flinders' story that might appeal to older boys and bring them under the spell of this great, adventurous character, and at the same time the adequate to the needs of most adult readers. To bring into more popular view is too little known English sailor and Explorer is a work that is certainly overdue.". Size: 12mo (standard paperback). Please refer to accompanying picture (s).
