Hardcover. Condition: Fair. First Edition. JOHN PASCOE FAWKNER'S COPY of Liturgical Services. Floridly SIGNED in full FOUR TIMES by JOHN PASCOE FAWKNER in black ink. The 4 signatures appear on the title page, the first text page (p.3), in the middle of the book (p.347), & final text page (p.695) where he has added "May 10 '54 Sydney". All four signatures are bright & clear, though the title-page signature has been ink-stamped, obscuring the "Fawkner" portion. John Pascoe Fawkner (1792-1869), founder of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; early pioneer, businessman, politician. He is the namesake of two Melbourne suburbs, Fawkner & Pascoe Vale. This is his copy of Liturgical Services: Liturgies & Occasional Forms of Prayer Set Forth in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. Edited for The Parker Society, by the Rev. William Keatinge Clay. FIRST EDITION, published 1847. From the preface: "The present volume comprises two Litanies, the English Prayer Book of 1559, the Godly Prayers, the Ordinal of 1559, the Latin Prayer Book of 1560, the New Calendar of 1561, & many Occasional Forms of Prayer set forth, chiefly by public authority, in the latter portion of the sixteenth century". Bound in publisher's original brown blind-embossed pebbled cloth, with bright gilt arms of The Parker Society to front board, gilt lettering to spine, blind-ruled spine, yellow endpapers. NOTE: A FAIR copy only. Cancelled Ex-Library copy with usual library markings (QC, UofM bookplate to front pastedown, plus several unobtrusive ink stamps internally [to 12 pages] from two libraries: Queen's College, University of Melbourne, & Congressional College Library, Melbourne), front board & ffep detached (but present), rear board loose, lacking top portion of spine (3 x 3cm), old library labels to spine, wear to spine gutters, much handling wear, faint marginal staining to first couple of pages, otherwise a solid hardcover reading copy. Internally VG. The value obviously lies in the fact that it was Fawkner's own personal copy of a much read/used book, with his ownership signatures. Fawkner lived a fascinating life. "He was born in 1792 in Cripplegate, London. His father was convicted of receiving stolen goods & in 1801 was sentenced to fourteen years transportation. With his mother & younger sister, Elizabeth, 11-year old John accompanied his father to the new settlement to be formed in Bass Strait. They joined H.M.S. Calcutta at Portsmouth & sailed on 29 April 1803 in company with the Ocean, carrying a number of free settlers & stores. After Port Phillip was abandoned & the convicts & settlers were moved to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), the Fawkners lived in a primitive hut at the new settlement on Sullivan's Cove, suffering great hardship & continuing shortages of food. In 1835 Fawkner financed a party of free settlers from Van Diemen's Land, to sail to the mainland in his ship, Enterprise. His party sailed to Port Phillip Bay & up the Yarra River to found a settlement which became the city of Melbourne. Fawkner himself landed at Hobson's Bay in October 1835 & at once began to lay the foundations of a fortune that grew to £20,000 in his first four years on the mainland. In January 1838 he added to his trade of hotel-keeping that of newspaper proprietor. In 1839 Fawkner also added to his already considerable land holdings a 780-acre property known as Pascoe Vale. As a man of property & influence, Fawkner took an active & leading part in the political & social struggles of the time. Fawkner died on 4 September 1869 at his home in Smith Street, Collingwood, the grand old man of contemporary Victoria."
