First edition. A FINE COPY OF GOULD'S MOST IMPORTANT WORK, which was issued in 41 parts over 30 years and occupied more than half of his career. In the original publishers' full morocco gilt stamped binding. Provenance: Presented to the Right Reverend Mathew Blagden Hale by the members of the Church of England, and other Denominations of Christians of Western Australia, Perth, October 28th, 1876. With large presentation label, printed in gold, dated in each volume. Mathew Blagden Hale [1811-1895] was the first Bishop of Western Australia, and founder of Hale School. Gould started work on the Birds of Australia in 1837, but ceased this effort when he found he did not have enough material to work from in England. He and his family departed for Australia [where his wife had two brothers] and remained there for 18 months collecting new specimens in New South Wales and Tasmania. John Gilbert was sent to collect specimens from Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia. As Gould had introductions to the explorers working at the time, he also received contributions of specimens from Sturt and Grey. As a result of this intensive effort, 300 new species were claimed by Gould. AUSTRALIAN EXPLORERS' CONTRIBUTION TO GOULD'S BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA In May 1838, Gould, his wife Elizabeth, John Gilbert [their zoological collector], one of their sons, a nephew, & two servants sailed for Australia. On their 27 montsh stay in the Colonies they received assistance from all sides ~ the Colonial Governors and most importantly, the early explorers of Australia's interior. In Tasmania, the Goulds were looked after by the Governor, Sir John Franklin (of later Arctic fame) and Lady Franklin, who were greatly interested in the flora and fauna of the country. Gould and Gilbert explored much of Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands. In February 1839, John Gilbert departed for an eleven month stay in the Swan River Colony. Gilbert made further explorations to the Northern Territory with Ludwig Leichhardt, but during Leichhardt's overland expedition in 1845 from Brisbane to Port Essington was tragically killed by aboriginals. [Book - Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia. 1847]. In June of 1839, Gould began a journey with Captain Charles Sturt from Adelaide to "the Murray Scrubs" [the Mallee], returning to Adelaide in July, from where he visited Kangaroo Island, before returning to Hobart. [Books- Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia. 1833 & Narrative of an Expedition into Central Australia. 1849]. Contributions of specimens & information came from all quarters. George French Angas contributed eggs and information about the Yellow- eared Black Cockatoo. [Book- South Australia Illustrated, one of the great Australian topographical view books.] In the course of his hydrographical voyage on the H.M.S. Rattlesnake, John MacGillivray contributed information about the Great Palm Cockatoo. [Book- Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, commanded by the late Captain Owen Stanley. 1852, Cape York area.] T.L. Mitchell, surveyor general of New South Wales supplied descriptions of the Leadbeater's Cockatoo (commonly known as the "Major Mitchell"). [Books- Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia.1838 & Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia.1848]. The last voyage of the "Beagle" was in Australian waters from 1837 to 1843. In 1841, Capt. Wickham, suffering ill-health, was relieved of his command by Lieut. John Lort Stokes [Book - Discoveries in Australia; with an account of the Coasts and Rivers explored and surveyed during the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, In the Years 1837- 1843. 1846]. The task of the expedition was to survey those parts of the northern coast of Australia not already charted by Flinders or King. Accompanying them on this trip was the young lieutenant George Grey, whose duty it was to explore the land in Australia's northwest with a view to establishing a permanent settlement there. [Book - Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in North-West and Western Australia. 1841] The scientific appendices in volume two of Grey's "Journals" include one on birds by John Gould ~ " Mr. Gould kindly forwarded the following enumeration of the species which have come under his notice as inhabiting that part of the country (Western Australia)." There follows a 7 pp listing of birds of W.A. "Officers of the Beagle" are credited by Gould's "Handbook to the Birds of Australia" as supplying information on the Rose-breasted Cockatoo. To conclude, the history of Australia's inland exploration is inextricably bound up with Gould's masterwork The Birds of Australia. It was an extremely fertile and productive time in Australia ~ Sturt, Mitchell & Angas in eastern & southern Australia; Leichhardt, MacGillivray, Stokes & Grey in the north & west. Reading the letter-press that accompanies each color plate of Gould's Birds bears witness to the combined efforts of Gould and the explorers and settlers of Australia ~ Gould constantly refers to specimens and information on the birds' customs and habitat sent to him by various explorers. Many times, this spirit of cooperation overflows into the naming of the bird itself. Gould was the touchstone who pulled together the contributions of Australia's explorers into the foundation work on Australia's ornithology. This, combined with Gould's work with Darwin interpreting the specimens from the famous "Beagle" voyages, takes Gould's Birds of Australia out of a strictly natural history realm and places it firmly alongside the great scientific discovery expeditions of the 19th century. GOULD'S CONTRIBUTION TO DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION Before the Goulds' plans for the work on the Birds of Australia came to fruition, John Gould became involved in a co-operative project with another scholar - Charles Darwin. In October 1836, Darwin returned to England from his 5 year circumnavigation on the H.M.S. Beagle [on which John Lort Stokes served for 18.…
