Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: Charles H. Davis, 1855 (first published 1854). Duodecimo, blind-embossed purple cloth, lettered in gilt to spine (faded), pp. 128, illustrated with wood-engravings; a very god copy. Children's adventure stories, including 'Encounters with a boa constrictor', 'Ascent of the Wetterhorn', 'Attacks of the cult-fish', 'Perils of the Sperm-Whale fishery' etc., as well as 'The gold-mines of Australia' - a grim picture of the crowded goldfields of Australia illustrated with a wood-engraving of the miners at work. 'The climate is considered unhealthy for Europeans. The gold region is said to be thickly dotted with the graves of those, who, in the hope of becoming wealthy, periled their lives in a country of which they knew almost nothing, and sank under disease and disappointment'. 'Septimus Winner (May 11, 1827 – November 22, 1905) was an American songwriter of the 19th century. He used his own name, and also the pseudonyms Alice Hawthorne, Percy Guyer, Mark Mason, Apsley Street, and Paul Stenton. He was also a teacher, performer, and music publisher.' - Wikipedia The State Library of Victoria holds a copy of the 1854 edition, otherwise not held in Australian libraries.

Sobre Douglas Stewart Fine Books
Douglas Stewart Fine Books is an antiquarian bookseller based in Melbourne, Australia. We buy and sell books both locally and around the world, working closely with clients to understand their collecting priorities and to source appropriate material. Our clients include libraries, galleries, museums, private collectors and fellow members of the trade.
Douglas began buying and selling books in 1995, while still in high school. He is a member of the major international trade associations, and his business is conducted according to their high ethical standards. For many years Douglas has been a Board member of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (ANZAAB); he is also a Mentor for the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.

Our stock at Douglas Stewart Fine Books is diverse: we have rare books across all fields, but our strengths are in travel and exploration – particularly of Australia and the Pacific – and Australian art. In addition to rare books, we deal in all types of heritage material, including photographs, manuscripts, maps and globes, and fine art. Every month we issue a new online catalogue of New Acquisitions, and recommend that you join our email list to be the first to see what's available. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any works you see online – we are always happy to assist with your enquiries.
We love meeting new people and welcome visitors to our shop, which is open six days a week. If you cannot make it to Melbourne, you can find us at major fairs in London, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Toronto, San Francisco, Boston, Hong Kong or Sydney. We're pleased to invite you to any of these exhibitions as our guest.
Last, but not least, we buy books – from important single items to entire libraries – and we'd be pleased to provide advice on the best way to sell your collection.
