A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a very minor mark to the spine and a couple of faint marks to the top edge of the lower board. The contents remain clean and crisp throughout. The only edition in English of Freycinet's comprehensive examination of early New South Wales, one of the most important historical texts to deal with Australian settlement, and especially with the city of Sydney.
